MyCAP, from the Business Council on Climate Change*, is a tool for anyone, at work and at home. Big change starts with small actions and MyCAP will help you understand your carbon footprint and set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely) goals to reduce your footprint, make a plan, and stay accountable. See how your goals fit within your company, community, and household.
If we continue "Business As Usual", we're on track to raise global temperatures 6.5 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of this century, if not sooner. That's a lot hotter than life as we know it can survive.
This powerful tool from Climate Interactive and MIT is a great way to test real-world strategies that might keep global temperature rise below 1.5 Celsius - the goal that almost all nations agreed to at the 2015 Paris Accord.
1.5 degrees doesn't sound like a lot, but that's the temperature measured in Celsius, which equals almost 3 degrees Fahrenheit. All of a sudden it feels a lot warmer!

Using this tool, you'll move the toggle bars and explore how emphasizing different solutions make a difference - or don't change much at all.

This is a complex simulator, but En-ROADS provides training and support. This is an excellent tool for policy-makers, students, and anyone interested in testing real-world possibilities against real-world outcomes.
This is what the dashboard looks like:
As you move the toggles, you'll see the affect your strategies are predicted to have over time:
