Climate Simulations

The Climate Scoreboard allows the people to track progress in the ongoing negotiations to produce an international climate treaty. The Scoreboard allows users to check, on a daily basis, whether proposals in the treaty process commit countries to enough greenhouse gas emissions reductions to achieve widely expressed goals.

A team from Sustainability Institute, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Ventana Systems has designed the Scoreboard to show the estimated temperature increase in 2100 if current proposals within the negotiations were to be implemented. The analysis behind the Scoreboard, based on the C-ROADS computer simulation, is also available on the Scoreboard site, as is a short video about the Scoreboard.

Climate Bathtub Simulator

The Climate Bathtub Simulation is a brief, animated, interactive simulation game that teaches several principles regarding the dynamics of the global carbon cycle and climate change. Designed for children and adults, its purpose is to improve understanding of how changes in carbon dioxide emissions will affect levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Climate Change Simulator

The online simulator provides an interactive environment in which people can learn about stocks and flows and then see how GHG emissions and removal flows accumulate to determine atmospheric GHG concentrations.

Games

The Production-Distribution (Beer) Game

Complete game kits for this deeply insightful introduction to the power of a dynamic systems perspective are available direct from the Society.

Fish Banks, LTD. Game

A game about team work and natural resource depletion. In the Fish Banks, Ltd. game, teams of players manage their own fishing companies. At the beginning of the game, each fishing company has equal amounts of money and fishing ships. Each company has the same operating costs and technology. At the beginning of every simulated year, the teams make decisions about buying or selling ships, whether to fish or not, and where to fish. The object of the game for each company is to maximize profits.

Simtegra

MapSys is a powerful mapping and simulation software that can greatly enhance understanding and learning in areas such as strategic planning, service delivery management, project planning and management, health care management, public policy, environmental policy, supply chain management and many more. With MapSys you can build models that allow you to experiment with your policies that are aimed at improving the performance of your organization. By simulating your model you will be able to predict the performance of your system over an extended period of time and do quick what-if analysis of your assumptions and policies.
