Global reach

Climate scenario modelling

Climate scenario modelling

EarthPLAN has gained global technical specialist experience. Our work in EMEA has included extensive Southern Africa exposure in the mining & minerals, hydro- and geohydrological, forestry, agricultural, and the built environment sectors. Notable work in West Africa (aluminium) and East Africa (water & renewables). Our European experience includes planning design for faunal enrichment and new business establishment building on over 20 years of consulting work.


Our collaborations in the AMER, include legal reviews and Competent Persons Statements (supporting their IPOs) for clients and partners. Work in the APAC regions includes Hong Kong (financial and planning), Singapore and Malaysia (large and mega-scale industrial).

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.
