The Global Calculator will help business leaders in the transport, manufacturing, food, construction and electricity generation industries explore the implications of different energy, food and land futures for their business operations and the climate system.

The tool can be run using 40 choices to compile a more detailed, nuanced pathway to 2050. For convenience, users can also set groups of choices together, using 10 "aggregated" choices to rapidly generate a pathway to 2050.
