Join a World Climate Negotiation Simulation Experience!
Sign up to participate in a mock negotiation, based on the
COP21 climate conference that was held in December 2015 in Paris. Every
individual who registers to participate will be assigned to represent a region
or country bloc and will be tasked with problem solving with other country
blocs to produce a global agreement to reduce CO2 emissions enough to limit
global warming to 2°C by 2100.
The simulation was developed by Climate
Interactive and MIT, was piloted on the staff of the White House, and been run
hundreds of times within government agencies, businesses, and universities
globally. The event will take place
