DESCRIPTION:The Earth Justice Team is looking for 25-30 people who are inte
 rested in participating in this informative and engaging experience. Those
  interesting in attending the event can register here\, and should be in t
 ouch with Tom Fletcher with any questions: tffletch@msn.com. UN CLIMATE SU
 MMIT SIMULATIONWorld Climate Project:COP 21 Climate Summit Simulation The 
 Paris Agreement on Climate Change\, negotiated by most of the world’s nati
 ons in December\, was signed on Earth Day.  Many praise the agreement reac
 hed nations as a historic landmark and turning point for addressing climat
 e change.  Others argue that the agreement does not go nearly far enough t
 o attain the stated goals of keeping global temperatures from rising no mo
 re than 2.0 degrees C (1.5. degrees C) this century.  In reference to the 
 climate agreement\, British columnist George Manbiot stated: “By compariso
 n to what it could have been\, it’s a miracle.  By comparison to what it s
 hould have been\, it’s a disaster.”You too probably have your own opinion 
 on the final accord as well as on how it was negotiated.  Ever wondered wh
 at might have happened had you been one of the climate negotiators?  What 
 would you advocate for?  How would the negotiations turn out?  Could you d
 o better?  You have the opportunity to find out.Space is limited. Register
  and RSVP as soon as possible!Lunch will be provided ($5 suggested donatio
 n).The World Climate Project simulation lets you participate in a thought-
 provoking\, mock-UN event that simulates the United Nations climate talks 
 held in Paris in December.  Though an agreement was reached what each coun
 try committed to must now be implemented and extended.  People everywhere 
 must continue to engage in discussions and actions of leadership on climat
 e change.  Through this simulation you will increase your awareness of the
  greatest challenge facing humanity and experience what it is like to nego
 tiate a climate deal.You and your team represent one of six negotiating gr
 oups: the United States\, China\, Russia\, India\, other developed nations
 \, and other developing nations.  You will receive information briefs that
  will help you negotiate.  As you negotiate\, you will be influenced by lo
 bbyists and activists.  You will experience several rounds of negotiation\
 ; however\, unlike in reality\, where we wait year-by-year for what will h
 appen to the climate\, you will learn the results immediately.  The negoti
 ated information will be fed into a climate change/global warming simulato
 r using systems dynamic modeling developed at MIT.The simulation concludes
  with a debrief\, a guided discussion during which participants have an op
 portunity to share their reactions to and feelings about the process and r
 esulting agreements.  What are the costs and barriers to implementation?  
 What are the potential benefits?  What are the flaws to the negotiating pr
 ocess itself?  How does one catalyze change?  What are your aspirations an
 d commitments to action? https://eruuf.org/calendar/calendar-view/event/65
