This high-resolution electrification dataset for Sub-Saharan Africa is developed at the Energy Program of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in cooperation with the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM).

The CAMALIOT mobile app for crowdsourcing is used to collect data transmitted by the Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) for scientific applications such as weather forecasting and improving positional accuracy

Data on built-up surfaces around the world were collected via a Geo-Wiki campaign, where this data set is intended for use as an independent validation of global maps of built-up surfaces.

This Scenario Explorer presents an ensemble of quantitative, model-based pathways underpinning the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of Working Group III by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), entitled Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change.

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.

OSCAR is a model of reduced-complexity that describes the interactions between large-scale components of the Earth system that relate to anthropogenic climate change. Its modules are calibrated to emulate the behavior of complex process-based models.

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.

The AJUST Framework comprehensively outlines justice in its multiple aspects with the aim to facilitate justice assessment across diverse research and policy contexts. It is meant to be accessible across disciplines, powerful in terms of capacity to express a variety of justice ideas, and modular so researchers can select and deploy the aspects that are most appropriate or useful.

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.

The aim of this model is to provide a unified framework for studying and mitigating the economic and demographic consequences of increasing inequality. The MIWAG model is a rich life-cycle model that allows to trace out how initial heterogeneity is transmitted into unequal behaviours and outcomes over the lifecycle. It can be used for studying how different policies lead to different dynamics over the life-cycle and how this affects intra-generational inequality. Moreover, this life-cycle model can be implemented in an overlapping generations framework, which also allows studying how inequality evolves across cohorts (inter-generational inequality).

CHILLED is a global scope, spatially explicit and physically based model for estimation of building space heating and cooling requirements. It combines high resolution climate data, building physics representation and socioeconomic and behavioural data. CHILLED is used for estimating long term growth in demand for space conditioning (heating & cooling), the associated energy demands and carbon emissions, and the population lacking cooling access (cooling gap).

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.
