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

AgroTutor provides highly specific and timely agricultural recommendations to farmers across Mexico and complements the work of local extension agents. Although most of the benchmarking information provided in the app is specific to Mexico, some of the functionalities can be used anywhere in the world. Give it a try!

Social and policy simulations, as well as serious games, are participatory processes through which diverse societal stakeholders collectively explore a complex reality and complex challenges. These participatory processes combine both social and natural science insights to foster experiential learning. They enable participants to make sense of the complexity associated with policy issues, and reflect on system inter-linkages and stakeholder plurality. These methods have become increasingly recognised for informing and guiding policy in complex settings, including sustainable development, climate change mitigation/adaptation and disaster risk reduction.

Water quality modeling for water availability/scarcity assessment, water-energy-land-environment nexus analysis and identification of cost-effective solutions under long-term changes.

Biodiversity patterns in natural ecosystems are dynamically sustained by food webs, describing the feeding relations among all ecosystem compartments, including the involved animal and plants.

Several data collection activities related to forest cover, forest biomass and forest management have been coordinated by IIASA’s NoDES group in the past

The DisruptSupplyChain model assesses the indirect economic impacts of disasters by explicitly quantifying the disturbances on supply chains. It simulates, in space and time, how transport infrastructure disruptions perturb the flows of goods in supply chains and how these perturbations affect households, firms, and trade.

The FotoQuest Go mobile app is a tool for citizen collection of in situ land cover and land use data, including geo-tagged photographs that document the landscape.

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.

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.

The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) Scenario database documents results and assumptions of the GEA energy transformation pathways that underpin the GEA. The database serves as a central data repository for the dissemination of GEA scenario information.

A database of greenhouse gas emission mitigation scenarios.

Data collection using mobile technology has facilitated the collection of in situ or ground-based data on land use/land cover including geo-tagged photographs that document the landscape.

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.

A model to assess emission and pollution reduction strategies that combat air pollution and climate change simultaneously.

A system dynamics model of social, economic, and environmental earth systems and their interdependencies.

A system integration of ground and remote sensing data that parametrizes Russian territory at a 1km spatial resolution for forests and includes tree species, age, and biomass distribution.

IIASA researchers teamed up with NGFS to publish an updated set of climate scenarios to assess future climate-related risks and influence sustainability goals.

An open source model to examine how future water demand will evolve in response to socioeconomic change and how water availability will change in response to climate.

The Geo-Wiki Project is a global network of volunteers who participate in earth observation driven citizen science via the Geo-Wiki tool
