Why Simulation?
Research shows that showing people research doesn't work...
One-way communication, where leaders are inundated with facts from an expert, won’t necessarily change behaviors, and traditional slideshow presentations take a linear approach to conveying information in a world that is anything but straightforward. In contrast, interactive simulation gives leaders the opportunity to learn for themselves about complex systems in a hands-on way.
...and there’s a reason pilots fly in simulators first.
Pilots log long hours in a safe environment before they take to the skies with precious cargo. In that same vein, the MIT Climate Pathways Project helps leaders is government, business, and civil society test climate policy ideas before taking them to the boardroom or bill signing--making the big decisions that impact us all.
