Can you devise a strategy for limiting global heating to 1.5 DegC?
Using the C-Roads and En-Roads climate simulation models we run workshops which allow participants to explore different possible scenarios for reducing emissions of green house gas to ensure that global heating stays well below 2 DegC or even as low as 1.5 DegC.
Find out more here: Climate Interactive Workshops.
In these workshops, we will introduce you to the simulator, provide you with the opportunity to reflect and discuss possible strategies for limiting global heating and then ‘run’ the simulations real-time to discover how well your strategies might work.
We have trained facilitators who will guide you through these climate simulations in an stimulating and informative way. Our lead faciliator, Dr. David Faraday, is a registered Climate Ambassador.

Book a Workshop for your Group / Business
We run Climate Action Simulation Workshop for community groups and businesses. Our workshops can accommodate between 6 and 40 participants, they are highly interactive and provide an ideal opportunity for people to engage in the debate about how to tackle climate change.
