Options Magazine, Winter 2020: Addressing impacts and harnessing opportunities for a more sustainable post-COVID world.
In this special COVID-19 issue of Options, we showcase IIASA researchers’ involvement in addressing emerging issues and supporting policymakers on the road to a more sustainable post-COVID world. The lockdown measures instituted during the pandemic has caused the international research community to move its activities online almost overnight. We explore what this has meant for IIASA and the institute’s ability to produce and communicate research. In these times of rapid change, IIASA is also on the verge of embarking on a bold new strategy. Read how the new strategy will ensure that IIASA continues to provide independent, systems science-based insights to global and universal challenges over the next decade.
