I lead Sustainability Education at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and am co-teaching a class called "Pathways to Renewable Energy," in which we are making use of En-Roads and a Climate Action Simulation event as a way for students to explore pathways and tradeoffs of various technology and policy choices. Students are working in groups of 7 to 8, representing the stakeholder groups, and will prepare a technical briefing and a policy briefing, as well as a "Minnesota statement" on what their scenario would mean in our state. 

Our Climate Action Simulation is March 3 from 1-2:15 in Minneapolis. If you are a fellow Minnesotan on this forum, please be in touch, as Paul Imbertson and I would welcome you to join us that day.

I have hosted and led the World Climate Simulation about 7 times in the past 2 1/2 years, and am interested in possibly using both exercises in class or in community events in the future.

Climate Summit  Game - see registration links below.  

In honor of Earth Day, let's find a date where we can have a Climate Summit and solve global warming once and for all!   In order to accommodate the anticipated interest in this activity, we are attempting to schedule several events on two different weekends.   Please join us and register for a session!

Each of these events requires a minimum of 20 participants to proceed, and is limited to a maximum of 50 negotiators (on 5 teams).   Participation is on a first-come-first-served basis.  Please be willing to commit to all three hours as you will be a member of a team. 

Are you available at any of these times? If so, follow the links to register for one of these events on Eventbrite. Feel free to share the registration information with family and friends. (Each event must have a minimum of 20 registrants to proceed) All events have a maximum of 50 participants.   

You will receive a confirmation email upon registration and more information will be distributed the week of the climate summit.

Hello! May you be well. I will start my facilitator training in August after completing two courses in which I currently am enrolled. However, I am looking for a facilitator to conduct a remote live training in the use of the Climate Action Simulation Game, En-Roads and C-Roads. The workshop is slated for Thursday, August 12th, with 9 a.m. , 9:15 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. as a start time.

The training is for a group of 12 faculty who are receiving professional development so that they might turnkey what they have learned with their students who will be participating in a global solutions sustainability project. 

The faculty will facilitate the students' progress on the project.

Would anyone on this forum be able to assist me in this endeavour?

If so, please contact me at cromain@bmcc.cuny.edu and place 

C-Roads in the Subject Line so that I know the communication's provenance.

I thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Carline Romain
