Research Project
In the A-LEVERS project funded by the Austrian Climate Research Programme (ACRP), IIASA researchers contribute to the development of a methodological framework for prioritizing adaptation options. Collaborating with the University Graz, GeoSphereAustria, and experts, they derive adaption pathways for key climate-related risks for Austria.
Research Project
Climate change induced waterstress: challenges and opportunities in Austrian regions (WaterStressAT)
In WaterStressAT we assess water availability and demand in Austrian regions considering alternative socio-economic and climate futures. This is to understand the risk of water stress and associated management opportunities. We are in the process of establishing a stakeholder co-design process spanning the entire project duration involving joint problem-framing, participatory modelling, and co-producing bottom-up water stress scenarios as well as risk management options.
