This online webinar will highlight how different data providers are supporting availability of in-situ data and addressing selected aspects of data interoperability that are the foundation of the GEO In-Situ Data Strategy.

How do people respond when the impacts of climate change hit close to home? A new study by IIASA and CMCC from the EU-funded project Adaptation AGORA (A Gathering place to cO-design and co-cReate Adaptation) reveals a striking paradox: while citizens in Catalonia show deep skepticism toward climate adaptation policies, they also demonstrate a “strong willingness to take action themselves”.

A new IIASA-led study examines growing critiques of how global climate mitigation scenarios address equity and justice and identifies key conditions for fair, feasible, and politically credible climate action.

Multiple Earth system components appear closer to destabilization than previously believed, putting the planet at increased risk of a “hothouse” trajectory driven by feedback loops that can amplify the consequences of global warming, according to new research.

The International Committee on New Integrated Climate change assessment Scenarios (ICONICS) is pleased to announce the launch of the Scenario Evolution Process Webinar on 12 February 2026.  

The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) convened the virtual workshop “Prospects of Carbon Farming in Greater Central Asia” to examine pathways for implementing carbon farming across the region. The event brought together scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange evidence, share experience, and discuss pragmatic approaches to advancing carbon farming and related land-based climate solutions.

COMMITTED is an international project funded by the European Commission’s Directorate on Climate (DG CLIMA). The project aims to enhance sharing of good practices on greenhouse gas emissions modelling between EU and Asian countries. The Consortium comprises major global integrated assessment modelling teams as well as institutions from major Asian economies. 

A new study sheds light on how farmer-led collaboration can help create the conditions to address biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes. The research looks at “farmer clusters” – groups of farmers working together across landscapes to support biodiversity-sensitive farming – and explores how these collaborative initiatives evolve over time, what shapes their success, and why some mature more effectively than others.

IIASA researchers will participate in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2026 conference presenting research on climate change, risk and resilience, energy, citizen science, and more. We invite you to visit the IIASA booth in Hall X2, next to the coffee area. Take the opportunity to connect with our experts and learn more about our research and initiatives.

The Academy of Athens will host the Inaugural Symposium of the International Community (Koinon) of Academies from 9-10 February 2026, marking both the launch of this new global initiative and the 100th anniversary of the Academy of Athens. IIASA Director General, Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber will be a keynote speaker at the event.

Anna Scolobig and Juliette Martin from EQU RG will share their insights during this webinar organized by RiskKAN.

This event is part of the ongoing public lecture series co-hosted by IIASA and the Austrian Academy of Science (OeAW).

The Vienna Soil Dialogue, co-organized by IIASA, FAS Research, AGRANA, and Raiffeisen, positions soil as strategic infrastructure – the living foundation of Europe’s food system, economic autonomy, and climate resilience. By connecting science, policy, and practice, the conference seeks to accelerate the implementation of the Soil Strategy 2030 and establish soil health as a unifying force for Europe’s sovereignty and sustainability.

EDITS (short for Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations) is a global network of researchers, scientists, modelers and practitioners, who deepen knowledge and expertise on  solutions and innovations that drastically reduce energy and material demand. As part of their community work, the EDITS network organizes regular public webinars, which are collected on this page.

Climate change research continued to feature prominently in news and social media feeds throughout 2025. IIASA researchers contributed to seven out of the 25 most mentioned papers in news and social media feeds; one is even the most featured paper ranking at #1 - congratulations to all the authors! 

This expert workshop brings together international researchers and city practitioners to advance the IIASA-Japan joint research project on "Climate Change and Cities".
