Energy Multi-Criteria Analysis Tool (MCA)

An interactive Web-based scenario analysis tool which allows the concurrent assessment of multiple energy objectives.

Shared Socioeconomic Pathways Scenario Database (SSP)

A dataset for quantitative projections of the so-called Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and related Integrated Assessment scenarios.

Data from the Drivers of Tropical Forest Loss (2008 to 2019) Geo-Wiki Campaign

Data on the key drivers of tropical forest loss were collected using the Geo-Wiki platform. The data, collected within a geographical area of 30 degrees North and South of the equator, are openly available and are already being used in different studies.

Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and Energy (FABLE) Scenathon

Scenathons: Interactive Scenario and Development Pathway Planning

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.

Qualitative systems analysis tools to inform strategic planning for policymaking (QSAM)

The current state of the world affairs calls for a revival of systems thinking to improve decision-making. Recognizing that the tightening of socio-economic links heightens the need for holistic responses, that disciplinary and sectorial solutions are of limited effectiveness and efficiency, and that big data is not generating integrative perspectives by itself, highlights the need for policymakers to become thoroughly familiar with the promises and pitfalls of systems analysis. Challenges are systemic, dynamic, and interconnected, and systems analysis, coupled with an improved anticipation, provides a coherent methodology and necessary tools to develop new approaches so urgently required for more coherent and effective policy planning.

R Library for Estimating Fisheries-Induced Selection Pressures

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).

Population and Human Capital Projections (SSP 2023)

Update of the human core of the SSPs: Population and Human Capital Projections to 2100

Trait Ecology and Evolution Plant Model (PLANT)

A model for studying the ecology and evolution of plant communities

Data from Geo-Wiki Campaigns on Agricultural Field Size

Data on agricultural field size has been collected via Geo-Wiki campaigns, where this type of data can provide some indication of agricultural practices, and it helps us to determine what types of satellite data are needed for agricultural monitoring in different parts of the world.

Collaborative Systems Mapping of Sustainable Pathways Method (COSMOS Tool)

Guidebook for designing and running in-person workshops.

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.
