Options Magazine, Summer 2021: At a crucial moment for nature, IIASA research offers hope to turn things around.
In this issue of Options, we take a look at biodiversity research undertaken at IIASA and how it is contributing to the global conversation around this important issue. We also provide a sneak peek into how different aspects of biodiversity will be studied across the institute as part of the new IIASA strategy.
Our second feature highlights how researchers at the institute continue to apply their expertise to the threat air pollution poses to the climate and global health, while our national member organization feature celebrates the institute’s collaboration with Indonesia over the past decade.
