Join us for this installment of the Tipping points webinar series where experts will discuss the the latest science on how deforestation may drive the Amazon rainforest region toward irreversible change and what this means for our planet’s climate.

AFE group and its Wildfire climate impacts and adaptation model (FLAM) have drawn public attention in Austrian media by providing high-resolution insights into current and future wildfire hotspots.  

The Austria Fire Futures (AFF) Final Stakeholder Workshop brings together invited experts and practitioners, including forest owners, forest management, tourism organizations, local administrations, the respective federal ministries, relevant industry sectors, NGOs, science, and media, to discuss wildfire risks, updated ignition models, and new fire danger maps for Austria. The Final Stakeholder Meeting, organized by IIASA's AFE group, focuses on turning scientific insights into practical fire management and adaptation strategies.

This official overseas visit aims to explore Austria's successful forest bio-economy policies and projects, and to develop customized strategies for domestic application to enhance the utilization and technological capacity of both timber and non-timber forest products.

The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission released its Report on Healthy, Sustainable, and Just Food Systems, presenting the most comprehensive global scientific evaluation of food systems to date. IIASA researchers Marta Kozicka, Sören Lindner, and Fernando Orduña-Cabrera, and IIASA Program Director Petr Havlik were among the coauthors. The analysis outlines a pathway to health, equity, and a liveable planet.

The Vienna Lecture Series represents a contemporary event format organized by the City of Vienna, offering free admission and facilitating direct engagement with leading scientific voices. These events are held under the invitation of the Mayor of Vienna and the City Councillor for Culture and Science.    

Consecutive heat extremes across crop growing stages sharply reduce yields across staple crops in the US and Europe under climate change. Without climate action, such events will become ten times more frequent, while most of the damage can be avoided by limiting warming to 1.5 °C, according to a study led by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, ETH Zurich, and IIASA.

This event is part of the ongoing public lecture series co-hosted by IIASA and the Austrian Academy of Science (ÖAW).

The CircEUlar consortium convened in Berlin – at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) – from 22 to 24 September for a three-day project meeting. The event was not only an opportunity to review progress and share research, but also to hold stakeholder workshops connecting the project team with external experts and policy actors. 

Johanna Mikl-Leitner, the Governor of Lower Austria, visited IIASA last week to strengthen ties between the Institute and the Province of Lower Austria.

IIASA is co-organizing the Fourth Asian Population Forum together with the Asian Demographic Research Institute (ADRI) in Shanghai, China.

The IIASA Climate Champions initiative is entering its second year with the first workshop taking place on 7 October, focusing on climate change, climate resilience, and climate justice. More than 35 students from Vienna and Lower Austria will participate.

Researchers from the Equity and Justice (EQU) Research Group are participating at the IDRiM 2025 Conference as co-convener, panelist and presenter.

The world is running out of time to meet the goals of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement, and siloed approaches to climate and development will not be enough. IIASA researchers contributed to the Third Global Report on Climate and SDG Synergies, which demonstrates how integrated action can unlock large-scale efficiencies, making limited resources go further while delivering multiple benefits for people and the planet.

The UNDERPIN project, coordinated by HEC Paris and funded by the Horizon Europe programme, has officially begun with its consortium kick-off meeting, bringing together partners including IIASA, CMCC, Climate KIC, TECNALIA and others from across Europe.
