| The politics of geoengineering |
 |
 |
 |
 |
In the previous issue of Science, IIASA’s Jason Blackstock argues that expanding national level geoengineering research should be tempered until a broad international process is established that ensures all countries have a voice on if, and how, this research can be safely conducted. More. | |

| Workshop on Ecological Modeling for Forest Resource Management |
 |
 |
 |
 |
IIASA, TIFAC, and the IIFM hosted a capacity building workshop on Ecological Modeling for forest researchers, in Bhopal, India, 28-31 Jan. IIASA staff held lectures on climate change mitigation, carbon accounting, vegetation modeling, and strategies for reducing GHG emissions in the forest sector. | |

| 2050 emissions targets to limit long-term climate change |
 |
 |
 |
 |
New research by NCAR and IIASA, published in the PNAS, links long-term climate policy targets to the short- and medium-term actions necessary to achieve them. Using the IIASA energy modeling framework, the study identifies critical mid-century emissions thresholds that, if surpassed, would make certain long-term goals unachievable. More. | |
