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.

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.

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.

The Alpine Resilience Atlas combines IIASA’s FLAM wildfire projections with Alpine forest data and other hazard information to identify areas of compound climate and forest vulnerability.

A model to reproduce historical wildfire events and to project future burned areas, as well as to assess climate change impacts and adaptation options.

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.

A model estimating forest growth, stock, harvest amount and comparing incomes from forestry and alternative land uses on a global scale. 

A model assessing how land management affects the environment

Comprehensive downloadable data and analysis on the Russian forestry sector

Downloadable global forest map at a half-degree resolution

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

BeWhere is a spatially explicit, bottom-up, techno-economic, system optimization model designed to support cost-effective, low-carbon system transitions at the supply chain level.
