How we think of energy supply is rapidly changing – what are the challenges we are facing?
The annual Young Scientist Symposium aims to bring together all research disciplines of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) on one dedicated topic. This year’s topic is Energy.
For the first time, YSS will span two days, packed with exciting presentations from leading researchers across multiple disciplines, talking about the challenges and possible solutions concerning energy.
Riahi will talk about transformation pathways for the energy sector for reaching multiple sustainability objectives, including the goal of the UN Paris Agreement to hold warming well below 2°C and pursue limiting it to 1.5°C, on Thursday, 20 October at 10:10.
