On Monday and Tuesday this week, IIASA hosted two classes from the Wiedner Gymnasium high-school for a half-day workshop to explore systems thinking through the life cycle analysis of a chocolate bar.  The students were encouraged to think about the complexity of the natural and social world they live in - this is one of the key objectives of the IIASA School Visits Initiative. The interactive workshops are designed to help students understand the broader implications of their choices and actions and equip them with valuable problem-solving skills.  

Join CLIMAAX’s second Webstival: From Insights to Action, Advancing Climate Resilience! As the challenges of climate change become increasingly severe, building regional resilience is more important than ever. The CLIMAAX project, where the SYRR group co-developed a framework and toolbox for Climate Risk Assessment, supports 60 regions in assessing their climate risks, thus helping them to better understand, prepare for, and manage these risks and opportunities. The project provides local and regional administrative units with access to climate risk profiles, improved early warning systems, and guidance for developing comprehensive risk management plans.
