Global Agro-Ecological Zones (GAEZ)

A tool for detailed assessment of available resources to support policymakers developing national, regional, and global strategies for the sustainable production of food

Collaborative Systems Mapping of Sustainable Pathways Method (COSMOS Tool)

Guidebook for designing and running in-person workshops.

Map Accuracy Tools

Map Accuracy Tools is an online website for calculating accuracy metrics for land cover products and for exploring thematic map accuracy.

City Oases

Where are the best places for a romantic date? Where can you skate? Where is it cool on a hot summer's day? Find the perfect places to spend the day and share them with the City Oases App!

Global maps of terrestrial and marine habitat types

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.

Catastrophe Simulation (CATSIM)

A modeling approach to improve financial disaster risk management

Data from the GROW Citizen Observatory

The GROW Citizen Observatory was developed in a Horizon 2020 funded project to engage citizens (interested in growing food and improving the health of their soils) in sharing their data with a large community of growers across Europe.

Scaling Dynamics of Energy Technologies (SD-ET)

The SD-ET analysis provides a novel methodological framework of using observed historical patterns of technological change to test the plausibility of future scenarios of technological change to meet climate change mitigation goals.

Large Community-Evolution Models (LCEMs)

The complexity and dynamical nature of community interactions make modelling a useful tool for understanding how biodiversity patterns in communities develop over time and how they respond to external perturbations.

Foodscapes - A global clustering of terrestrial food production systems (Foodscapes)

A set of global zoning layers are provided that identify broad homologues of foodscape classes. These are comparable in a minimum set of biophysical and management characteristics and can help to plan for possible interventions and leverage points for more sustainable agriculture.

Projections of cooling gap from CHILLED model

Cooling and Heating gLobaL Energy Demand model (CHILLED)

CHILLED is a global scope, spatially explicit and physically based model for estimation of building space heating and cooling requirements. It combines high resolution climate data, building physics representation and socioeconomic and behavioural data. CHILLED is used for estimating long term growth in demand for space conditioning (heating & cooling), the associated energy demands and carbon emissions, and the population lacking cooling access (cooling gap).

Demographic Scenarios for the EU

In the framework of the Centre of Expertise on Population and Migration, a research partnership between IIASA's World Population Program and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, IIASA provides science-based knowledge on migration and demography to support EU policy.
