Shape Our Climate Future

Lead your country through five rounds of climate policy. Balance emissions, costs, and negotiations, then explore warming through 2100 with the FaIR climate model.

01 / Why this simulation

Practise decisions
with consequences.

A published climate model and observed country baselines. Stylised policy effects, costs and negotiation rules, built for teaching. The trade-offs governments actually face.

AI Climate Assistant

Real-time policy recommendations, climate science explanations, and strategic negotiation guidance for every country and round.

Subnational climate maps

Admin-level maps for all 8 countries - emissions, heat stress, flood risk, drought, and renewable energy share - and a 3D globe of observed and projected climate layers.
+1.4°C (+2.5°F)→+2.85°C (+5.13°F)

FaIR climate model

Explore warming through 2100 with FaIR 2.2, a published climate model. Policy choices change the emissions pathway; projections include a climate-response uncertainty range.
IPCC AR6 · WG III

IPCC-cited evidence

Policy cards reference IPCC AR6 evidence and show indicative effect ranges for the learning experience.
3 of 7 points used

Governing capacity constraints

A limited budget and seven capacity points per round make prioritisation part of the learning task. Choose one ambitious move at full strength or a portfolio of smaller reforms.

Treaties and negotiation

Make deals and join treaties in solo play. In classroom sessions, teams submit their policies and the instructor advances the shared round; classmates chat, make deals and vote on binding class proposals.

02 / The simulation

A learning loop,
with visible feedback.

01

01

Choose your country

Explore one of eight countries. Its emissions, energy mix and resources give your decisions a specific starting point.

02

02

Configure policies

Compare policies, choose their ambition and rollout, and build a portfolio that fits your budget and capacity.

03

03

Negotiate treaties

Make deals with other countries and join treaties. In a class game, chat with classmates and vote on class proposals.

04

04

Respond to crises

Prepare for a climate event, then weigh response options. Each choice has a budget, public-trust and preparedness trade-off.

05

05

See your results

Inspect a warming projection to 2100 and explanations of what changed in the round. Compare climate, economic, social and governance outcomes.

06

06

Debrief and iterate

Use reflection questions and a session export to explain your decisions, compare strategies and decide what to try next.

03 / See it in action

Explore the experience. Try the previews.

These are interface previews with illustrative figures: explore the tabs, stage a policy, fund a sample preparation. To configure policies, negotiate and play a real round with the climate model, start the demo; no account is needed.

01 / Policy Lab

Configure 20+ instruments.
See the cascade.

Spans energy, transport, buildings, industry, land use, economy-wide pricing, and adaptation. Each card cites the IPCC AR6 chapter that assesses its policy type; the Mt and $ figures on the cards are this model’s estimates for your country.

  • Set rollout speed, phasing, and financing per policy
  • Capacity-points prevent passing everything at once
  • Synergy and friction warnings flag conflicts
  • Budget overhead updates in real time

02 / Crisis Response

Real events.
Real consequences.

Climate events interrupt your policy timeline. Every response cascades: trust, budget, and preparedness all shift.

  • Compare country forecasts on a world map
  • Fund preparations and inspect the change in expected losses
  • Weigh spending against trust and preparedness
  • Your response shapes the current crisis and next round’s preparedness

03 / Results Dashboard

81-year trajectory.
Four pillars.

FaIR recalculates your full 2020–2100 temperature trajectory as you commit policies and after each round. Round-delta cards show exactly what shifted, no black box.

  • Climate (50%), Economic (20%), Social (15%), Governance (15%)
  • Pillars expand to show the indicators behind each score
  • Round-delta cards explain what moved and why
  • Downloadable export for reflection and comparison

04 / The science

Built on real models.

Learning through practice

Choose a policy portfolio, inspect its consequences, and explain what you would change in the next round.

Country context

Observed emissions, energy mixes and country profiles give learners a concrete starting point. Costs and social responses include simplified teaching assumptions.
