Bob Corell and Climate Action Initiative on NPR

John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics, and the Environment talked about the exciting simulation-based work of the Climate Action Initiative on NPR’s “Morning Edition” today.  He shared one of the key insights of the C-ROADS simulator which he has been using to explore the long term impacts of various country-level commitments to address climate change.
