Multidimensional Feasibility

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) develop long-term mitigation scenarios which play an essential role in the development of IPCC reports. These models, however, have been criticized for proposing solutions that are challenging to carry out due to a lack of consideration of social and institutional challenges. In the paper "A multidimensional feasibility evaluation of low-carbon scenarios by person" (Brutschin, et al., 2021), scientists proposed a versatile, multidimensional framework that allows for comparisons between decarbonization pathways by quantifying feasibility concerns. This online, interactive tool was developed to complement this paper and allows the user to examine this framework in more detail.

Socio-Economic & Political Data Explorer

The Socio-Economic & Political Data Explorer is a tool for visualizing and downloading quantitative elaborations of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), which emerged in the literature since the publication of the original set (e.g., GDP, population) of SSP-related indicators. The tool hosts scenarios of indicators such as Gender Inequality Index, Governance, Rule of Law, Human Development Index, and Migration Flows.

Fair Mitigation Finance Explorer

The Fair Mitigation Finance Explorer is the web app accompanying the paper 'Fairness considerations in global mitigation investments' (Pachauri, et al., 2022). Users can select various indicators with a variety of weights to explore the ‘fair’ regional contributions to near-term regional mitigation investment needs. With this information, the web app determines the ‘fair-share’ regional contributions to their respective regional ‘cost-effective’ investment needs.

How solid air can spur sustainable development

28 April 2023
The green hydrogen economy is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. However, one of the challenges of constructing a global hydrogen economy is hydrogen transportation by sea. A new paper proposes solid air as a medium for recycling cold energy across the hydrogen liquefaction supply chain.

Social media data sheds light on air conditioning interest

21 April 2023
With increasing temperatures caused by climate change, air conditioning is becoming a necessity for people’s comfort and health. A new study provides insight into consumers’ interest in home cooling by analyzing social media data, and addresses data gaps in demographic heterogeneity of global air conditioner adoption.

Urgent need to ramp up climate action to secure a liveable future for all

24 March 2023
IIASA researchers contributed to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released earlier this week. The report highlights that there are multiple feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change, and they are available now.

Laxenburg, Austria
IIASA ECE is excited to host the next in-person openmod workshop. The Open Energy Modelling (openmod) Initiative promotes open energy modelling across the world. Energy models are widely used for policy advice and research. They serve to help answer questions on energy policy, decarbonization, and transitions toward renewable energy sources.

Global emission fields of air pollutants and GHGs

A host of scientific chemistry and climate model experiments explore responses of the global atmosphere and climate systems to possible future changes in emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. The Pollution Management research group (formerly AIR program) has used its GAINS model to develop a set of global emission fields of nine substances that provide consistent sets of future sectoral emissions for well-specified assumptions on economic development and the effectiveness of dedicated emission control policies.
