The District Environment Action Team hosted a Climate Solutions Workshop on January 26. Attendees from 19 states/provinces and 25 different Rotary clubs brought enthusiasm and active engagement.

 

The workshop leveraged the En-ROADS climate simulation model which develops an understanding of a suite of solutions that could keep global temperatures from rising.
En-ROADS is a transparent, freely available policy simulation model that gives everyone the chance to design their own scenarios to limit future global warming. You can try your own experiments and assumptions and get immediate feedback on the impacts at www.enroads.org.

 

A key take-away from the workshop is: “Protecting the Environment” also improves health, equity, and well-being.
