RESIST

The Resilience of Ecosystem Services provided by Intact and Sustainably managed Terrestrial ecosystems (RESIST) project aims to develop a modeling framework that integrates biophysical feedbacks and socioeconomic drivers affecting the environment.

CircEUlar Project at the Vienna Climate Summit

Exploring circularity through science and art: CircEUlar project at the Vienna Climate Summit

The first Vienna Climate Biennale took place from April to July. CircEUlar was one of the scientific partners of the Biennale, contributing insights on the potential of circular economy strategies to combat climate change. Project coordinators Marina Jovanovic and Volker Krey reflect on the 100-day festival and the unique collaboration between science and art.

What are we talking about when we talk about justice?

Prompted by a colleague’s question about whether justice is the same as ethics, Elliott Woodhouse sheds light on the nuances of justice as a specific approach to ethics and introduces the IIASA justice framework, a comprehensive tool for systems analysts to integrate justice considerations into their work.

Tipping risks from overshooting 1.5°C can be minimized if warming is swiftly reversed

Current climate policies imply a high risk for tipping of critical Earth system elements, even if temperatures return to below 1.5°C of global warming after a period of overshoot. A new study indicates that these risks can be minimized if warming is swiftly reversed.

Cutting overlooked methane emissions central for limiting global warming

To mitigate the climate crisis, we must tackle methane emissions now. In a new article published in Frontiers in Science, an international team of researchers set out three imperatives to cut methane emissions and shared a new tool to help find the most cost-effective ways of doing so.
