The GUIDE-Global project is kicking-off at IIASA with the "2022 International Meeting on Development of the Global-National-Local Integrated Assessment Modeling System for Climate-Air Quality Management focused on Northeast Asia"

IIASA organizes the Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS) Model Community meeting.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is present at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) from 6-18 November 2022, with a broad programme of its own events as well as taking part in the official activities of the meeting.  

IIASA, as project partner, will hold the 3rd international workshop of the Northeast Asia-regional joint technology development project AQNEA with aims to development a collaborative, integrated management framework to improve future air quality in Northeast Asia  

We invite folks to join us for a conversation on Redesigning Money for Sustainability. This hybrid / virtual discussion will focus on the work of Alf Hornborg, who has shown how general-purpose money (or all-purpose money) drives unsustainable industrial culture and why the design of money must change to enable transformation to sustainable culture.

Policy Brief #35, October 2022. Sharing mitigation fairly between countries doesn’t have to be expensive.

Policy Brief #34, October 2023. Recent net-zero pledges could take the world a long way towards meeting the Paris climate goals, but an ambition gap remains.

Jaideep Joshi highlights the results of a recent study in which he and his colleagues looked into the impacts of the novel environmental conditions that plants are exposed to today as a result of the changing climate.

As a key issue for COP27, with climate impacts proliferating around the world and affecting the most vulnerable, the integration of the Loss&Damage policy domain into broader climate policy requires further attention. The brief lays out a framework that shows how gaps with regard to adaptation, protection and response need further attention and can be integrated into a climate policy framework for reducing, addressing and responding to losses and damages. When attending to gaps, attention is to be spent on scaling up response mechanisms and interventions that have proven to be effective, are locally led, and meet the specific needs of the communities they support.

Annual Research Conference (ARC) was held in Seville in September. This year, the theme of ARC is how to turn green the European way: keeping cutting the edge while remaining social and fair.

The IIASA Population and Just Societies Program, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the University of Vienna are co-organizing the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2022, which will focus on population and climate change.

This Scenario Explorer hosts the results from the Integrated Solutions for Water Energy and Land project (ISWEL).

The Biodiversity, Ecology and Conservation (BEC) group is dedicated to support and promote early career researchers who wish to engage with us and our work. There are several ways of joining our group and we are particular interested to engage with researchers who are interested in our methods and projects.  

IIASA’s Transformations within Reach (TwR) initiative hosts the first meeting of the TwR Community of Science and Practice (CoSP) to kickoff co-production of recommendations on how to catalyze global transformation to sustainability.

IIASA Scientists have been invited to a workshop to explore how to improve the representation and usability of socio-political factors in the SSPs.

The possibility of global temperatures exceeding the Paris Agreement 1.5°C target is rising every year. We already face the impact of climate change through often extreme weather conditions which threaten ecosystems and risk livelihoods. Yet, current plans to reach net-zero emissions targets do not go far enough to achieve the 1.5C target in time.
