Soil and Water Assessment Tool at IIASA (SWAT+)

A regional to global model designed to simulate and predict the dynamics of water quantity and quality under the influence of various drivers including; climate change, land-use transitions, socio-economic developments, and policy interventions.

Role-play simulations

Role-play simulations are a transdisciplinary method for engaging diverse stakeholders beyond traditional policy- and decision-making communities in an informed and inclusive public debate around the governance of complex socio-environmental challenges.

Map Accuracy Tools

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

The Energy and Carbon Emissions Inventory Database (ECDB)

The Energy and Carbon Emissions Inventory Database (ECDB) compares major global inventories of primary energy use and carbon emissions.

Logistic Substitution model II (LSM2)

The "IIASA Logistic Substitution Model II" (LSM2) is a software tool to estimate the parameters of technological growth and substitution processes. Applications include marketing research, scenario development, historical transition analyses, as well as meta-analysis across many individual technologies.

Plural Rationality Approach (PRA)

The Equity and Justice (EQU) Research Group has developed a number of decision-support and process-oriented methods. These tools help stakeholders and policy-makers make sense of the complex governance landscape, while clarifying trade-offs and synergies associated with alternative policy options.

Reconciling information from alternative sources

A software tool to to aggregate several probability distributions into a single integrated one.

Crop Observe App

Crop Observe App is an application for collecting crop type, phenological stage, visible damage and management practices.

Input Data and Programs for SDG Population Scenarios and Sensitivity Analysis of UN Probabilistic Projections

Three different scenarios for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on the goals that could impact fertility and mortality rates and thus population growth are now available for downloading.

The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate-based global gridded crop model (EPIC-IIASA)

A model assessing how land management affects the environment

SPES Explorer European Pressing Issues Dashboard

The SPES Explorer – European Pressing Issues Dashboard is a web-based interactive application that visualises how citizens across European countries have perceived their most pressing national problems over time. It combines country-level maps with time-series charts and offers optional breakdowns by age group and gender. Users can explore, compare, and download harmonised indicators derived from Eurobarometer surveys. SPES examines productivity, equity, sustainability, participation and human security. The dashboard documents citizens’ perspectives by showing how people prioritise problems in their countries. It supports scenario building and policy dialogue by revealing shifts in perceived challenges that may motivate, accelerate, or constrain sustainable development pathways.

Database of Exploited Fish Stocks

The Working Group on Fisheries-Induced Evolution (WGEVO) of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has developed a general framework for investigating eco-evolutionary changes in fish stocks and their utilities in terms of ecosystem services and for assessing the management implications of fisheries-induced evolution through Evolutionary Impact Assessments (EvoIAs).
