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.
This discussion series aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. It supports efforts to increase consistency in treatment of tipping elements in the scientific community, develop a research agenda, and design joint experiments and ideas for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip).
IIASA Distinguished Visiting Fellow Eric Lambin will speak at a hybrid public lecture offered by IIASA and the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Drawing on his career long work, Lambin will identify pathways to successful sustainable transitions through the example of tropical deforestation.

The INQUIMUS workshop has been postponed to Spring 2022. IIASA’s Population and Just Societies (POPJUS) Program together with the Advanced Systems Analysis (ASA) Program will host the INQUIMUS workshop series entitled "Transformational risk management and Loss & Damage: What are suitable approaches for assessing climate-related (residual) risks?". The workshop will focus on the pressing issue of climate-related risks that may go beyond social and physical limits for adaptation.

Faced with increasing climate-related risks, decision-makers across the world need to strengthen and transform climate risk management approaches before limits to adaptation are met. IIASA Research Group Leader and risk and resilience expert Reinhard Mechler will discuss ways to deal with climate-related existential risk, along with key take-aways from his discussions at COP26 in Glasgow.
Annually, up to three participants of the Young Scientists Summer Program are given an award for outstanding work produced during the program. The award provides financial support for the winners to return to IIASA in the following year for an additional three months of research.
