“The Global Calculator is the first tool which allows easily to grasp the nexus between human action and behavior, for instance between certain life styles, food production, or construction of buildings, and emission profiles and the subsequent global warming,” said Jürgen Kropp, leader of the PIK contribution to the Global Calculator and co-founder of the Climate Media Factory. “Admittedly, it’s no plug-and-play instrument, but this is because the platform is built upon the fundament of scientific insight, which by definition is not always easy. Still, decision-makers on all levels of society can make use of it to understand the consequences of their own action directly.” The tool will soon be available not only in English, but also in Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Bahasa Indonesia.
