Andrew Jones
Co-Founder & Co-Director of Climate Interactive; Researcher; Expert on Climate and Energy Issues
Andrew Jones is Co-Founder and Co-Director of Climate Interactive and a Research Affiliate at MIT Sloan. An expert on international climate and energy issues, he is a system dynamics modeler, keynote speaker, and designer of simulation-based learning environments.
Trained in environmental engineering and system dynamics modeling through a B.A. at Dartmouth College and a M.S. in Technology and Policy at MIT, he worked in the 1990s at Rocky Mountain Institute and in the 2000s with Dana Meadows at Sustainability Institute. He teaches system dynamics at MIT Sloan and the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
He and his team at Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan developed C-ROADS and En-ROADS, two user-friendly climate simulations in use by analysts around the world. His interviews have appeared in multiple media, including the New York Times, U.S. News, and NPR’s Morning Edition.
Jones has written two op-eds in the Sunday New York Times — one on building grounded hope and another in the form of an interactive simulation. He co-accepted the “ASysT Prize” for “a significant accomplishment achieved through the application of systems thinking to a problem of U.S. national significance,” the System Dynamics Society’s award for the best real-world application of modeling, and Dartmouth College’s Ray W. Smith award for the most significant contribution to the status of the College.
Climate Interactive was named the Top US Energy and Environment Think Tank by Prospect Magazine. Jones lives with his family in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.
