Executive Director and Co-Founder of Climate Interactive. Creator of #EnROADS simulation. Research Affiliate, MIT Sloan.
Tomorrow all ~1000 incoming first-year @MIT undergrads will get their minds blown by the two-hour #EnROADS simulation workshop, led by Prof. John Sterman. “Welcome to MIT! We're going to challenge you to solve the climate crisis." Next: We're dreaming of engaging more professors at universities in the fast-emissions-growth middle-income world and then helping them work with their top decision-makers -- think China, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil and on. Already thousands of these profs use #EnROADS in their classroom. We know it works. Why are we doing it? Because we calculated in #CROADS that 80% of the necessary avoided GHG emissions will happen outside the US and EU. Less coal, oil, and gas means better health for all. Plus it's just fair and equitable -- these countries didn't cause the problem but are disproportionately affected by it. Stay tuned! We're creating a plan this fall.
Wow! Congratulations! I can't wait to hear feedback on the program and tool 🙌
Great, needed next phase…

This is fantastic beyond words. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen!
That's what I'm talking about!!!! Go, go, go!
Great way to start their first week at campus. Save Mother Earth ! ..Professor Sterman's workshops on system dynamics and simulation are always super interesting.
Richard 'Drew' Marcantonio Inspiration for our context!
Great to hear this. I’m sure Dr Sherman will lead an excellent session!
I help courageous leaders navigate change and complexity, and create the conditions for life to flourish in themselves, teams, and organizations: Regenerative Leadership Coaching, Consulting, Facilitation, Speaking.
