Wednesday, May 11th from 11:30-15:30 (CET), 10–15 seats available

There is the possibility of participating in an international online event that is based on the "World Climate Event", part of Climate Interactive, a role play cum simulation. I will prepare a form to express interest to participate in the event. Only 15 students will be allowed.

Description of the event

The students take the role of the countries / regions in international climate negotiations (like for the Paris Agreement). They negotiate the contributions of their countries / regions and we will use the C-ROADS tool of Climate Interactive to simulate the effects of their negotiation outcomes on climate change, changes in sea level etc. Please have a look at the Climate Interactive website:  https://www.climateinteractive.org/  Please also have a look at  this video: https://www.climateinteractive.org/tools/world-climate-simulation/

 Here are a number of facts to better grasp what is planned:

* Up to 60-70 participants in total, roughly 15 max per university

* Students do not need prior knowledge on climate change, we will provide preparation material before the event

* Reasonable English skills are required, although the briefing material is available in different languages (see next point)

* Briefing material is available in many languages

* Nuertingen-Geislingen University will organize the event via an online tool (probably MS-Teams or ZOOM)
