Dr Diana Pritchard has been piloting, adopting and now promoting use of an engaging learning activity which generates profound understanding and insights about the world climate system, global negotiations and increases motivation to get involved or influence policy making.

She, and other members of the Sustainability Forum, have held simulations of world climate negotiations to enhance curriculum offerings at the University around the education for sustainability agenda.

These activities incorporate ‘Climate Interactive’, a software which the provides interactive, scientifically rigorous tools that help people see the impacts of the carbon targets they negotiate, and to see what works to address one of the biggest challenges the world faces.

Based on a long tradition of system dynamics modeling out of MIT that explores the interplay between social and planetary systems.

Her recognition, as a World Climate Ambassador, connects Diana within a prestigious global network of scientists working in educational contexts, with CEOs and high level officials.
