DESCRIPTION:Are you concerned about climate change or just want to know wh
 at all the fuss is about? Join Climate Ambassadors from Climate Interactiv
 e to learn about MIT's En-ROADS and explore solutions with this dynamic\, 
 interactive tool..\nhttps://gwinnettpl.libnet.info/event/8031002
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>During the workshop\, participants will be
  able to visualize the impact of different climate solutions in real-time\
 , using the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator&mdash\;a user-friendly cl
 imate model. En-ROADS will be used to explore the impacts of cross-sector 
 solutions&mdash\;from carbon pricing\, to energy efficiency\, to innovatio
 ns in new technology.</p>\n<p>Participants will have a chance to suggest a
  climate change solution\, and immediately see its impact on global temper
 ature rise along with co-benefits and equity considerations. As participan
 ts propose solutions\, we will see how they add up to reach our goal of li
 miting global temperature. The resulting experience is hopeful\, scientifi
 cally-grounded\, action-oriented\, and eye-opening.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp\;<a h
 ref="https://www.climateinteractive.org/en-roads/">En-ROADS Climate Soluti
 ons Simulator</a>&nbsp\;is a global model that demonstrates how changes in
  energy\, economic and public policies\, such as planting trees\, changing
  subsidies or pricing carbon\, impact greenhouse gas emissions and worldwi
 de temperatures. This dynamic tool lets participants see for themselves th
 e impact policies they think will be beneficial can&nbsp\;actually&nbsp\;h
 ave on temperature and emissions. The interactive simulator is a fascinati
 ng way to explore what climate interventions are needed to effectively mit
 igate climate change. Developed by leading scientists at Climate Interacti
 ve and the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative\, En-ROADS demonstrates dyn
 amics in energy supply\, land use\, transportation\, carbon removal and mo
 re.</p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><strong>Participants are encourag
