C‑ROADS is a climate simulator that visualizes the impact of national and regional emission reductions on global temperature and other climate outcomes through 2100. For years, it has been instrumental in highlighting the gap between countries’ pledges and the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.
Developed by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan, C‑ROADS uses the best available science to create evidence-based scenarios and actionable insights to inspire global climate action. Learn more about the science behind the simulator.
C‑ROADS is available in 10 languages and has been used by more than 400,000 people around the world to rapidly test whether collective strategies are enough to meet global targets. Our primary users are:
Policymakers and climate negotiators evaluating the global impacts of regional emission reduction strategies in real time.
Advocates working to equip decision-makers with a trusted, science-backed tool to inform climate strategy.
Educators focused on engaging students in interactive simulations that illuminate the dynamics of international climate negotiations and policy outcomes.
We offer a facilitated group learning experience that helps participants uncover key insights and explore new perspectives in C‑ROADS, specifically through the World Climate Simulation. If you’re interested in learning how to run the simulation yourself to engage your community, explore our training plan.
