Climate Interactive 2025: Simulating a Sustainable Future
What is it about?
Over the course of five sessions, the second-year M2i master’s students prepared for a role-playing exercise based on several climate-modeling tools. Their objective was to simulate a Conference of the Parties (COP) and negotiate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in a world currently on track for more than 2°C of warming compared to pre-industrial levels.
Several teams were formed to represent countries across developed and developing countries. The selected countries were Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Brazil, Singapore, Mexico, Argentina, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates.
In this presentation, the students provided specific information about the countries they represented, enabling their classmates to place them in their economic, political, and environmental context.
This event allowed us, as students, to widen our awareness regarding the climate crisis.
There is an urgent need for climate action that is both just and inclusive, ensuring that no community is left behind in the transition.
