June 2023 Release: Land and Forests in En-ROADS
Channel: Climate Interactive
Date: 2023-05-31

The June 2023 update of En-ROADS and C-ROADS adds modeling for forests (young, medium, and mature age cohorts), farmland (e.g., cropland, pasture, and rangeland), and other land types (e.g., wild grasslands, deserts, urban areas, and tundra). As a result, the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land-use change, and forests are improved in both simulators. In En-ROADS there are a variety of new sliders that have significant implications for testing policies in food, agriculture, land protection, bioenergy, and forest products and exploring the drivers of land use change.
