All equations and parameters in En-ROADS are included in the extensive Reference Guide. Some of the key assumptions are listed below. For the En-ROADS B...

The temperature change you see on the right-hand side of En-ROADS is the change in global temperature from pre-industrial times (measuring from the year 185...

Yes, En-ROADS incorporates inflation through using constant year purchasing power parity (PPP) data for GDP, which bakes in inflation. Therefore we can assu...

Renewable energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and marine energy) are grouped together in the online En-ROADS simulator. Within En-ROADS, wind, s...

Wind and solar energy, and other renewables including geothermal and hydro, are modeled separately from each other, with separate learning curves and dynami...

Yes, En-ROADS enables users to simulate the economic impact of climate change, specifically the reduction in average GDP per capita due to temperature rise....

The economic impact of climate change is often quantified as a fractional reduction in global or regional annual income, GDP, or GDP growth. This fractional...

The mathematical formulation of the damage function in En-ROADS is different from the ones used in the literature, yet the En-ROADS function can be calibrat...

En-ROADS does not currently include lifecycle environmental impacts such as water pollution from mining for minerals and/or any health effects from this.
