IIASA develops partnerships with organizations in member countries and a global network of researchers and policymakers. These collaborations aim to deliver high-quality research and enhance the impact of its research on shaping evidence-based policy and building bridges between countries.
Population and Just Societies Program scientists will present and discuss latest IIASA research at the virtual International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) International Population Conference.
The role of the Science Advice and Review Board (SARB) - formerly Science Advisory Committee (SAC) - established by the IIASA Council in 2002, is to ensure that IIASA work continues to meet the highest standards in both scientific and policy relevant communities.
A new IIASA-led policy brief highlights the need to consider climate change adaptation in global trade agendas to avoid jeopardizing the achievement of UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 on Zero Hunger.
As the impacts of climate change become more severe and limits to adaptation draw near, vulnerable communities will need different kinds of finance to build resilience and transform how they protect themselves. Work by IIASA researchers has culminated in a new policy brief, which lays out a finance framework for such climate risk and provides relevant model insight to inform international debates around adaptation and Loss and Damage.
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.
This kick-off event serves to introduce the Strategic Initiatives project FairSTREAM to IIASA colleagues and associates, as well as to start the conversation on one concrete topic at the heart of FairSTREAM work: stakeholder engagement and knowledge co-production at IIASA. The project is an in-house collaboration by the Equity and Justice (EQU), Water Security (WAT), and Biodiversity, Ecology, & Conservation (BEC) IIASA Research Groups to advance trans-disciplinary research and upscaling via agent-based modelling at the food-water-biodiversity nexus.
A project to build a map of the world’s diverse food production systems and their dependencies is helping form a better understanding of the crucial elements and necessary transformative actions that govern agricultural systems, now and in the future.
IIASA Insights is an informal outlet for IIASA researchers and the wider IIASA global network to share their research, insights, and perspectives. It does not necessarily represent the official views or position of the institute.
Tackling pollution from the emission of nitrogen compounds, particularly ammonia, could reduce many of the 23.3 million years of life that were lost prematurely across the world in 2013 due to nitrogen-related air pollution, an international study led by Chinese scientists has discovered using a modeling framework, including the IIASA GAINS model.
IIASA research has impact at all scales, from local to global, and within both scientific and policy spheres. The institute also hosts two key databases for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and has driven advances in systems analysis methods.
