A key procedure in testing our simulators involves comparing their results with other models, particularly the Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). IAMs aid scientists and policymakers in understanding climate change dynamics and human impact. By comparing against standardized scenarios used by IAMs, we test assumptions and build confidence that the simulator’s results reflect the best understanding of the scientific literature. See the video for a summary of testing and comparisons. This video is also part of Module 8 (OPTIONAL): “Model Structure & Testing”, in the Mastering En-ROADS Training Series. This section walks through the model comparisons and the extensive testing that the Climate Interactive team has conducted in order to build confidence in the En-ROADS simulator.

This section walks through the model comparisons and the extensive testing that the Climate Interactive team has conducted in order to build confidence in the En-ROADS simulator. Mastering En-ROADS is a free training program created by Climate Interactive using tools co-developed with the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative. The training will advance your understanding of both the En-ROADS Simulator and its complementary learning experiences. The course explores the dynamics driving our climate and energy system, climate solutions, facilitation techniques, themes of equity and justice, event planning, and more. By signing up for this course you can join a vibrant community of educators, policymakers, activists, professionals, community organizers, and students who are running En-ROADS events to deliver insights and cultivate climate leadership worldwide.
