Climate Policy Game
2024-05-05 16:00 (America/New_York) | Alliance Room, 1326 Washington St., West Newton, MA, 02465, United States
We all know climate change is happening, so what can we do to slow it down and turn it around? Join us for a game using MIT’s En-ROADS climate model simulator to see what does and doesn’t help on individual and community levels — FUUSN, city, state, nation, and planet. Middle schoolers and up are welcome to participate, and light refreshments will be served. In-person only, RSVP requested.
