This event is for new and returning MIT students only!Dive into the world’s most advanced real-time climate change simulator. MIT Sloan’s Professor John Sterman presents SimPlanet, the climate solutions game that hands you the controls to the world’s energy and economic policies. But national and industrial interests stand in the way. Can you rally the planet and hold global warming to no more than 2 degrees?SimPlanet 2020 is backed by the Climate Interactive <a href="https://www.climateinteractive.org/tools/en-roads/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">EnROADS Simulator</a>, which runs thousands of calculations in real time to determine how the policies the world sets now will affect global temperatures decades into the future. Choose new policies and watch the warming curve bend as your ideas take effect. If you&#x27;ve ever wondered what kind of mobilization we truly need to confront the climate crisis, SimPlanet will open your eyes to a new world that brings all its ingenuity to bear on the challenge of climate change.This event is being held as part of MIT&#x27;s 2020 orientation week.
