Researchers from the IIASA Novel Data Ecosystems for Sustainability (NODES) Research Group are part of the newly launched RIECS-Concept (Towards A Pan-European Research Infrastructure for Excellent Citizen Science), a project designed to develop a conceptual framework for a pan-European citizen science research infrastructure. The initiative aims to enhance the role of citizen science in data collection, validation, and policy engagement, ensuring long-term sustainability and broader participation in scientific research across Europe.

Join AIMES, the Earth Commission, Future Earth, and the WCRP's Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity for a webinar exploring the potential impacts of an Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) tipping event on Europe’s climate. In this webinar, experts will explore the AMOC tipping mechanisms under an idealized freshwater flux forcing and different climate change scenarios. 

As water demand continues to rise across Europe, new analysis reveals that more people than previously estimated will face water stress in the coming decades. IIASA researchers working on the EU-Horizon ACCREU project highlight the urgent need for informed adaptation strategies.

Susanne Hanger-Kopp was invited to this workshop as a representative of the Equity and Justice Research Group at IIASA, bringing expertise on justice in climate change and acceptance research to the discussions. The workshop provided a unique platform to exchange insights on how justice considerations shape public responses to renewable energy projects and how these principles can be embedded in planning and decision-making processes.
