177: Simulating the Future: How Climate Models Shape Policy Decisions with Andrew Jones

Andrew Jones, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Climate Interactive joins us to explore groundbreaking climate simulation tools shaping global policy decisions. We dive into Climate Interactive’s En ROADS model, used by Congress members and educators worldwide, and we discuss its role in making climate science actionable. Andrew highlights effective climate solutions, challenges less impactful ones, and emphasizes the importance of reducing fossil fuel use and protecting forests. Tune in for a deep dive into how data-driven simulations bridge the gap between climate knowledge and action.
