🌍 Treaty Compliance Simulator: Carbon Commons

Interactive game-theory model of international environmental treaty compliance: a network of nations each choose an emissions-cutting compliance level, a shared global carbon budget depletes faster the more nations free-ride, and an adjustable enforcement mechanism shows how sanctions shift the collective equilibrium from defection to cooperation.

⚙ Under the hood

Game-theoretic tragedy-of-the-commons model of international climate treaty compliance: 7 nations on a network graph each set an emissions-cutting compliance level (0-100%), a shared global carbon budget depletes faster the more nations free-ride, and an enforcement-strength slider (sanctions/trade penalties) shows how raising the cost of defection tips the network's equilibrium from free-riding toward cooperation. Live stats: average compliance, carbon budget remaining, projected warming, cooperating vs defecting nation counts.
