Options Magazine, Summer 2023: Using an integrated water-energy-land system model on multi-sector transformations, IIASA researchers seek to enhance environmental flows in the Indus River Basin.

A new IIASA-led study explored fairness and feasibility in deep mitigation pathways with novel carbon dioxide removal, taking into account institutional capacity to implement mitigation measures.

A delegation from Shanghai University and representatives from the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Vienna visited IIASA earlier this week.

IIASA is proud to host the 2023 cohort of its Young Scientists Summer Program, consisting of 50 PhD students representing 30 nationalities from all over the world.

Climate change is manifested by pronounced negative impacts on the society and ecosystems. Increasing heat extremes, heavy precipitation events, droughts and other hazards, put a strain on the health systems, economies, and natural environments of Europe. Therefore, understanding and projecting future hydro-meteorological variability and occurrence of extremes, as well as their impacts are key scientific challenges crucial to the development and implementation of sustainable management practices and policies.

IIASA Population and Just Societies Program Guest Emeritus Research Scholar Sergei Scherbov has been elected to the Academia Europaea.

This years EAERE conference is dedicated to interdisciplinary research on the energy, environment, eco-innovations and economy and covers topics such as Natural Resources Management and Utilization, Economic Instruments for Water, Manufacturing and Energy Sectors, Ecosystem Services and Management, Cost-benefit and Cost-effectiveness Analyses, Environmental Econometrics and Methodological as well as Sustainable Development issues.

The African continent faces a multitude of challenges, and food security is among the most pressing. New research by an international team of researchers sheds light on the challenges and opportunities facing the African continent in securing sufficient food supplies with a particular focus on rice.

IIASA researchers present makingAchange project results at a climate education event organized by Vienna's Municipal Department of Education.

IIASA researchers and colleagues from Plan International are using modern digital tools to enhance community-driven flood resilience in rural flood-prone communities in Nicaragua.

The Horizon Europe ForestNavigator project will bring together a varied group of stakeholders at IIASA this week. They will discuss how they can help design robust policy pathways to achieve medium and long-term climate goals and support EU and national decision makers on the road to climate neutrality.

The NCGG brings together scientists, experts, decision makers and other stakeholders in the field of Climate Change with a view of supporting the development of efficient and effective technologies and policies aimed at decreasing the radiative forcing due to non-CO₂ greenhouse gases, ozone and aerosols

Join NaturaConnect’s webinar to explore different Nature Future Scenarios that will help to shape the design of a coherent and resilient TEN-N. We will discover how the Nature Future Scenarios can be translated into land use scenarios, how they can be used for identifying connectivity and conservation priorities and finally, how these could inform the design of the TEN-N.

Today, the European Advisory Board on Climate Change officially published advice to the European Commission, presenting evidence for a 2040 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target, which was substantially informed by an analysis conducted by IIASA.

We provide a global spatially explicit characterization of terrestrial and marine habitat types, as defined in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) habitat classification scheme, which is widely used in ecological analyses, including for assessing species’ Area of Habitat. The maps broaden our understanding of habitats globally, assist in constructing area of habitat (AOH) refinements and are relevant for broad-scale ecological studies and future IUCN Red List assessments.
