Gameplay
Manipulate 14 different levels, each representing a different choice on the demand or the supply side in order to reduce carbon emissions to the 2050 target. The Simulation visualises how the world will look in 2050, according to the levels chosen for each lever.
Compare your choices with energy security indicators which show the demand and supply rate for fuel and electricity by 2050.
