AgroTutor provides highly specific and timely agricultural recommendations to farmers across Mexico and complements the work of local extension agents. Although most of the benchmarking information provided in the app is specific to Mexico, some of the functionalities can be used anywhere in the world. Give it a try!
Do you have a clear picture of what science says about past and future impacts of climate change in your country? Do you know how this knowledge has been generated and how reliable it is? The newly released open climate impacts encyclopedia ISIpedia was designed to provide state-of-the-art climate impact information by translating the latest climate impact science into understandable and informative texts.
Options Magazine, Summer 2021: IIASA researchers collaborate with colleagues from member countries and partner institutions around the globe to develop holistic, systems-based solutions and provide policy advice for some of the most pressing problems society faces today.
IIASA Deputy Director of Science Leena Srivastava and researchers Reinhard Mechler, Teresa Deubelli, and John Handmer will contribute to sessions focusing on systemic risk and resilience at the world’s first transdisciplinary gathering in sustainability in Brisbane, Australia.
IIASA and collaborative partners will launch the new Global Agro-Ecological Zones platform version 4 (GAEZ v4) in a webinar, to demonstrate the functionality of the platform in the context of sustainable development.
Picture Pile is an online and mobile application for rapid image classification, which can be used to collect data for the development or validation of remotely sensed map products or to provide new inputs to machine learning algorithms.
The FotoQuest Go mobile app is a tool for citizen collection of in situ land cover and land use data, including geo-tagged photographs that document the landscape.
Natura Alert is a mobile and web application to report threats in protected areas, in particular, in Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) globally and in Natura 2000 sites in the EU.
The GROW Observatory app is a service stemming from the GROW Observatory project, a European Citizen Science project on growing food, soil moisture sensing and land monitoring that ran from 2016-2019.
IIASA scientist Anastasia A. Lijadi will present latest research from the ERC funded IIASA project "The Demography of Sustainable Human Wellbeing" at the International Congress of Psychology.
To improve climate related risk management in the financial sector and facilitate a smooth transition toward a sustainable economy, IIASA researchers joined forces with other scientists and a network of over 60 central banks and financial market supervisors to publish an updated set of scenarios. They show early greenhouse gas emissions reductions can minimize both physical and financial risk - in contrast, delayed action or no action would drive up costs.
Population and Just Societies (POPJUS) Program Director Raya Muttarak is invited to talk about demographic perspectives on sustainable development and COVID-19 at the workshop hosted online by the College of Population Studies at Chulalongkorn University.
IIASA researchers have contributed to a new global campaign that illustrates the centrality of data to sustainable development with a project that uses citizen science to monitor marine litter in Ghana for official UN Sustainable Development Goals reporting.
What drives the feasibility of climate scenarios commonly reviewed by organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)? And can they actually be achieved in practice? A new systematic framework can help understand what to improve in the next generation of scenarios and explore how to make ambitious emission reductions possible by strengthening enabling conditions.
Korean nationals who have received their doctoral degrees by Korean universities are eligible to apply for postdoctoral fellowships. Biannually, the National Research Foundation of Korea provides funding for up to 24 months.
IIASA researchers contributed to a discussion on the ways in which systems analysis and complexity economics can support public sector policies with new computational technologies and analytical tools toward targeted governance of platform markets, data-based activities, and complex societies.
IIASA Cooperation and Transformative Governance Research Group Leader Nadejda Komendantova is invited by the Secretariat of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to speak at the panel discussion “Critical Infrastructure Dependencies”.
With the COP Climate conference in Glasgow only a few months away, the ambitions of the Paris Agreement and the importance of taking action at the national level to reach global climate goals is returning to the spotlight. IIASA researchers and colleagues have proposed a novel systematic and independent scenario framework that could help policymakers assess and compare climate policies and long-term strategies across countries to support coordinated global climate action.
