The Global Calculator will enable users to explore the options for reducing global emissions associated with land, food and energy systems in the period to 2050. It will build on the success that a number of countries have had in developing their own country-level 2050 Calculators but it will extend the approach by illustrating the detrimental impacts of climate change associated with global-level choices.
The Global Calculator will be based in Excel and it will have a user-friendly front-end aimed at global leaders in businesses, NGOs and governments. The ultimate aim is to energise the debate on climate change and build momentum for action to reduce emissions ahead of the 2015 negotiations.
