Meeting of the IATT and 10-Member group under the TFM in preparation of the Multi-Stakeholder Meeting on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs 2020.
A major new IIASA report highlights new and emerging policy trends in the Arctic, a region on the front lines of climate change, geopolitics, and global governance.
Maryna Strokal discusses a new integrated approach to finding cost-effective solutions for nutrient pollution and coastal eutrophication developed with IIASA colleagues.
Co-organised by IIASA, the conference will examine new modelling and analytical approaches to systemic challenges, highlighting the potential of integrative economics.
In collaboration with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, IIASA will present a major new scientific analysis of the Arctic – a region on the front lines of climate change, geopolitics, and global governance.
On 16th- 17th January 2020, Risk and Resilience Program Senior Science Advisor John Handmer, at the invitation of the OECD, attended the 'Adapting to a changing climate in the management of wildfires' conference where he spoke on Understanding the socio-economic costs of wildfires, Wildfire impact in the "new normal".
Weather patterns and events are changing and becoming more extreme, sea levels are rising, and greenhouse gas emissions are now at their highest levels in history[1]. Climate change is affecting every individual in every city on every continent. It imposes adverse impact on people, communities, and countries, disrupting regional and national economies.
Anne Goujon and Dilek Yildiz will represent IIASA at the kick-off meeting of the new Horizon 2020 funded project that will focus on understanding the patterns, motivations and modalities of migration.
Sonja Spitzer discusses how survey data often fails to capture all socioeconomic groups and explains how to ensure health information used by policymakers is based on accurate statistics.
IIASA Water Program Director Yoshihide Wada has been invited as a key speaker at the First G20 Agricultural Deputies meeting - Food and Water - held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from 26-27 January 2020.
Rising sea levels, a direct impact of the Earth’s warming climate, is intensifying coastal flooding. The findings of a new study show that the projected negative economy-wide effects of coastal flooding are already significant until 2050, but are then predicted to increase substantially towards the end of the century if no further climate action on mitigation and adaptation is taken.
To mitigate climate change and safeguard ecosystems, we need to make drastic changes in our consumption and transport behaviors. A new IIASA study shows how even minor changes to available infrastructure can trigger tipping points in the collective adoption of sustainable behaviors.
IIASA researcher Alexia Fürnkranz-Prskawetz will discuss redistributive effects of different pension systems by socioeconomic status at a workshop at the Université catholique de Louvain.
Taking action to combat climate change and its impacts is urgent and vital to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Although per capita emissions are still highest in high-income countries, several emerging low and middle-income countries have seen a rise in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in recent years. While much of that rise was due to increased (export-oriented) industrial activities, changing lifestyle, consumption, and mobility patterns also played a significant role. How people can be encouraged to behave in an environmentally friendly way is a fundamental question for climate change mitigation. Despite a call for a stronger emphasis on demand-side solutions in mitigation strategies, little is known about the determinants of pro-environmental behaviors of people from the developing world.
Christiane Pohn-Hufnagl will join the executive team of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) as Chief Operations Officer (COO) on 1 July 2020.
