Do you want to see what the Climate Science impacts (risks) are, what the costs are or even how your coastline will change? En‑ROADS will get you there.

En‑ROADS is a global climate simulator that allows users to explore the impact that dozens of policies such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, have on hundreds of factors like energy prices, temperature, air quality, and sea level rise.

Developed by Climate Interactive, MIT Sloan, and Ventana Systems, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model carefully grounded in the best available science, and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment, climate, and energy models. En-ROADS runs on an ordinary laptop in a fraction of a second, is freely available online, offers an intuitive user-friendly interface, and is available in over a dozen languages.
