New research by the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and IIASA proposes using soil bacteria to cut greenhouse gas emissions from food production.
Urbanization in Africa is accelerating quickly, showing no signs of slowing down. An international team of researchers addresses critical gaps in our understanding of how this urbanization affects local food and ecological systems, emphasizing the importance of recognizing shifts in dietary patterns.
The aim of this model is to provide a unified framework for studying and mitigating the economic and demographic consequences of increasing inequality. The MIWAG model is a rich life-cycle model that allows to trace out how initial heterogeneity is transmitted into unequal behaviours and outcomes over the lifecycle. It can be used for studying how different policies lead to different dynamics over the life-cycle and how this affects intra-generational inequality. Moreover, this life-cycle model can be implemented in an overlapping generations framework, which also allows studying how inequality evolves across cohorts (inter-generational inequality).
Energy, Climate, and Environment Program scientist will present IIASA research at the Air Pollution and Climate Change Conference jointly organized by the School of Environment and Institute for Carbon Neutrality at Tsinghua University, Nature Geoscience, Nature, Nature Climate Change, Nature Energy, Nature Cities, Nature Reviews Earth and Environment, and Communications Earth and Environment.
The first Vienna Climate Biennale started its 100 day long festival program in April. CircEUlar is among the scientific partners of the Biennale, providing content on the potential of circular economy strategies to combat climate change.
Roman Hoffmann will speak about Advancing the Modeling of Climate Impacts on Human Migration at a hybrid seminar on Climate Mobility organized by CIESIN, Global Center for Climate Mobility, Global Knowledge Hub and Population Environment Research Network on 17 May at Columbia University in New York.
Discussions around soil carbon have traditionally revolved around organic matter, overlooking the substantial contribution of soil inorganic carbon. A recent study published in Science by an international team of researchers, however, addresses this oversight.
Anne Goujon will be participating in the 9th African Population Conference, themed "Road to 2030: Leveraging Africa's human capital to achieve transformation in a world of uncertainty" organized by the Union for African Population Studies (UAPS) in Malawi.
Population and Just Societies Program scientists will present and discuss latest IIASA research at the hybrid European Population Conference-EPC 2024 organized by European Association for Population Studies (EAPS) in collaboration with the University of St. Andrews in Edinburgh.
The Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services (AFE) group has hosted researchers from Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency as part of the TaigaClimate project meeting from 29 to 30 April.
IIASA, Korea National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) and the University of Seoul are co-organizing an international symposium on Climate Risk Management and Adaptation, taking place in Seoul, South Korea on June 14th 2024.
