En Roads Climate Workshop

For World Cities Day, you can design an En-ROADS Climate Workshop agenda that addresses urban sustainability, climate resilience, and equitable development. The workshop can use the En-ROADS climate simulation tool to help participants explore scenarios that shape urban futures, emphasizing the interconnections between policy decisions and climate impacts in cities. En-ROADS Climate Simulation Overview 09:50 - 10:20 AM | Introduction to En-ROADS Simulation Walkthrough of the En-ROADS tool: explaining its purpose, how it models different sectors like energy, transportation, and urban planning, and its relevance to cities. 10:20 - 10:40 AM | Interactive Climate Simulation: Urban Policy Focus Hands-on demonstration of the En-ROADS model. Showcase various climate solutions like renewable energy, transportation reform, and green building standards. Collaborative Scenario Planning 10:40 - 11:30 AM | Workshop Breakout: Simulating City-Based Solutions Divide participants into groups representing key urban sectors (Energy, Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Waste Management). Each group explores how their sector contributes to the city's carbon emissions and discusses potential climate policies or innovations that could be implemented. 11:30 - 12:00 PM | Group Presentations: Pathways to Resilient Cities Groups present their scenario results and discuss how their policies impacted the city’s climate and sustainability goals in En-ROADS.
