IIASA will host the project partners and stakeholders of MOSAIC (Managing protective forests facIng clImate change compound events) for their first project management meeting and technical workshop. The event's aims are to cover issues of climate change data mining and structuring, with a focus on data freely available and its condition of uses; project storage infrastructure; downscaling and upscaling processes; and possible exchanges with relevant networks.
IIASA researchers will participate in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2023 conference presenting research on climate change, risk and resilience, energy, citizen science, and more.
In this webinar, three IPCC authors present their perspectives on the drafting of the IPCC reports, the approval process, particularly the engagement with policy makers, and discuss some of the key messages of the final report of the IPCC Sixth Assessment - AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023.
IIASA senior research scholar, Thomas Schinko will be speaking at a workshop on "Inequality Across Scales, Space, Time and Domains" organized by International Centre for Theoretical Physics - ICTP supported by National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS) and Trieste International Foundation for the Progress and Freedom of Sciences (FIT) as part of the Trieste Laboratory on Quantitative Sustainability (TLQS) initiative in Trieste, Italy.
This panel discussion on sustainability communication will be hosted by Karlshochschule International University and will bring together two world class experts to discuss the current state of climate change communication, share their experience, and draw on solutions available to us.
The 39th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment (ISRSE’39) is one of the longest-standing conferences of its kind. This year the focus of ISRSE’39 is sustainability with the theme ‘From Human needs to SDGs’. ISRSE’30 brings together public and private section organizations with scientists in the field of Earth observation, information services and environmental applications, with a strong emphasis on practical solutions and societal outcomes at all scales from local to global.
This talk will present the results from the ADAPT-UHI project, funded by the Austrian Climate Research Program, in which urban climate modelling was used to assess different climate adaptation and mitigation options in three small- to medium-sized cities in Austria: Klagenfurt, Mödling and Salzburg including a social cost benefit analysis. Other outputs included tailored recommendations for urban planning and an Urban Heat Island Risk map for Austria. More recently, the Urban ReLeaf project, funded by Horizon Europe, aims to involve citizen science and different types of sensors in urban greening solutions across six cities in Europe. Although the project only started at the beginning of 2023, a brief overview of the goals and current activities will be highlighted. The talk will last around 45 minutes followed by questions and a discussion for another 45 minutes.
The United Nations (UN) World Data Forum (WDF) is an event organized by the UN Statistics Division since 2017 to mobilize financial and political support for data, stimulate data innovation and foster partnerships around data to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This Global Webinar, moderated by Elisa Calliari of the Systemic Risk and Resilience group in ASA, will provide an opportunity for protected area
managers, government representatives, and relevant actors to come
together to discuss key issues, exchange best practices, identify challenges,
and discuss collaboration towards the successful implementation of the
Global Biodiversity Framework. All are invited to join the webinar!
Wolfgang Lutz, IIASA Interim Deputy Director General for Science, will deliver a keynote address at the high-level opening of the fifty-sixth session of the UN Commission on Population and Development (CPD). He will also speak at a side event co-organized by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the African Union Commission, and the Government of Germany.
The IIASA Population and Just Societies Program, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the University of Vienna are co-organizing the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2023 on Exploring Population Heterogeneities in a hybrid format at the premises of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
