Devastating aftermath of inadequate flood management: Muddy floodwaters after heavy rainfall

Integrated spatially-resolved catastrophe risk modeling and management model (ISCRiMM)

This is a GIS-based model which explicitly accounts for the interplay between national and local ex-ante measures, e.g., investment in prevention/mitigation measures (on the part of the public authorities, the citizens and the insurance industry) and ex-post policies for sharing the financial costs after the disaster.

System Integration Impact Assessment (SIIA)

The SIIA framework combines principles from technology assessment ("Technikfolgenabschätzung") with process and systems engineering across all life cycle stages. Its core focus is on the integration of processes, systems, and sectors; the role of storages, batteries, and securities in temporal integration; and the interaction of networks, grids, infrastructure and trade routes for spatial integration.

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.

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.

IPCC AR5 Scenarios Database (AR5)

The IPCC AR5 Scenarios Database documents the long-term scenarios as reviewed in the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

GROW Observatory App

The GROW Observatory app is a service stemming from the GROW Observatory project, a European Citizen Science project on growing food, soil moisture sensing and land monitoring that ran from 2016-2019.

Postharvest Storage App

The Postharvest Storage App is a tool for collecting information on the types of storage mechanisms used by farmers for storing their harvests.

Wild Life Model (WildLife)

While the full model is under review and development, this is an abbreviated description of its main purpose, components, assumptions, and variables, but without some details and equations.

IAMC 1.5°C Scenario Explorer

This Scenario Explorer presents an ensemble of quantitative, model-based climate change mitigation pathways underpinning the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR15) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published in 2018. The ensemble was also used and extended in the IPCC's Special Report on Climate Change and Land (SRCCL, 2019).

Collaborative Systems Mapping of Sustainable Pathways Method (COSMOS Tool)

Guidebook for designing and running in-person workshops.

Areas of global conservation importance for biodiversity, carbon and water

Spatial layers of global importance highlighting the upper potential value of conserving biodiversity, carbon and water assets under different area-based conservation targets.
