The A1 Digital Life Summit 2022 will convene people to discuss about digital solutions for climate change. Charlie Wilson, Professor of Energy & Climate Change of the Oxford University and Visiting Research Scholar at IIASA (ECE), will participate as a panelist in the Panel Discussion.

NGFS presents the third vintage of climate scenarios for forward looking climate risks assessment during two webinars on the 20^th and 21^th September.

IIASA and RITE co-organize an expert meeting in the framework of the Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations (EDITS) network to further the interdisciplinary dialogue in conceptualizing, analyzing, policy making, and modeling of energy demand and its interlinkages to climate change mitigation and the SDGs.

IIASA researchers will participate in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2022  conference presenting research on climate change, risk and resilience, energy, citizen science, and more.

We are happy to announce the winner of the EDITS-ARTS Competition. The first prize goes to Futuregram2050, who created a powerful 2-minute video to portray a positive transformative future and has clearly adhered to the three evaluation criteria. The production has a compelling narrative that presents a balance between having access to modern technologies and services, using modern digital solutions, while at the same time also willing to limit their demand.  

Partners in the ENGAGE project to present new research results to Asian stakeholders

Bringing best practice policies of climate mitigation and Sustainable Development Goals to Integrated Assessment Model scenarios

The International Committee on New Integrated Climate Change Assessment Scenarios (ICONICS) continues its series of webinars to discuss recent work on the Climate Change Scenarios Framework.

Webinar on a sustainable development pathway for climate action within the UN 2030 Agenda

Energy Demand changes Induced by Technological and Social innovations (EDITS) side-event at COP26 as part of the Japan Pavilion. The event presented the frontiers in energy and material demand knowledge, the role of digitalization, innovation and equity efforts in a deep social, economic and technological transformation of energy demand. We presented recent work from the EDITS network, and discussed how a demand-side transition can contribute to rapid and successful climate change mitigation towards a 1.5°C pathway.  

IIASA and the Energy Analysis and Policy (EAP) program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will host a webinar to discuss the outcomes of COP26 and implications for climate action around the world.

The Forum on Scenarios for Climate and Societal Futures is a hybrid online and in-person forum bringing together a diverse set of communities who are using or developing scenarios for use in climate change and sustainability analysis to exchange experiences, ideas, and lessons learned. Opportunities for synergies and collaboration will be identified as well as knowledge gaps for future research.  

IIASA researchers discuss future demand for residential space heating and the goal of net-zero emissions at the 39th Annual IEW conference in June 2021.

Since its founding in 2008 by a joint initiative of IIASA, the Austrian Government, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the Vienna Energy Forum (VEF) has assembled thinkers and practitioners from all over the world to discuss practical solutions to sustainable development challenges and pave the way for tangible partnerships on the ground.

IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program Director, Keywan Riahi, will participate in the UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development 2021 to discuss scenarios and possible medium- and long-term trends in the COVID-19 recovery and achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

96 participants from more than 30 institutions and 15 countries participated in the 3rd ENGAGE Project Meeting, which was held online from 1-5 March 2021.

IIASA scientists will participate as keynote speakers and panelists at the upcoming virtual Energy Transition Week 2021 hosted and organized by the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative.

IIASA researchers teamed up with NGFS to publish an updated set of climate scenarios to assess future climate-related risks and influence sustainability goals.
