Dataset
This application serves as an expansion of the Bayesian Reconstruction of Populations and Vital Rates by Educational Attainment (BayesEdu) project. Its objective is to integrate existing demographic data to generate accurate estimates of population sizes and vital rates categorized by educational attainment, while also considering associated uncertainties.
Model
CHILLED is a global scope, spatially explicit and physically based model for estimation of building space heating and cooling requirements. It combines high resolution climate data, building physics representation and socioeconomic and behavioural data. CHILLED is used for estimating long term growth in demand for space conditioning (heating & cooling), the associated energy demands and carbon emissions, and the population lacking cooling access (cooling gap).
Tool
The new website is designed to provide latest information on climate mitigation and climate impacts, and aims to be a comprehensive resource for individuals, businesses, and policymakers looking to use some of the latest data from research on climate impacts and net zero mitigation pathways. The CSE website features a range of content, including and interactive map of climate change impacts, national and regional data dashboards of impacts and mitigation pathways, and interactive articles on a range of climate topics and countries.
Dataset
We provide a global spatially explicit characterization of terrestrial and marine habitat types, as defined in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) habitat classification scheme, which is widely used in ecological analyses, including for assessing species’ Area of Habitat. The maps broaden our understanding of habitats globally, assist in constructing area of habitat (AOH) refinements and are relevant for broad-scale ecological studies and future IUCN Red List assessments.
Tool
Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) develop long-term mitigation scenarios which play an essential role in the development of IPCC reports. These models, however, have been criticized for proposing solutions that are challenging to carry out due to a lack of consideration of social and institutional challenges. In the paper "A multidimensional feasibility evaluation of low-carbon scenarios by person" (Brutschin, et al., 2021), scientists proposed a versatile, multidimensional framework that allows for comparisons between decarbonization pathways by quantifying feasibility concerns. This online, interactive tool was developed to complement this paper and allows the user to examine this framework in more detail.
Tool
The Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) Extensions Explorer is a tool for visualizing and downloading quantitative elaborations of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), which emerged in the literature since the publication of the original set (e.g., GDP, population) of SSP-related indicators. The tool hosts scenarios of indicators such as Gender Inequality Index, Governance, Rule of Law, Human Development Index, and Migration Flows.
Tool
The Fair Mitigation Finance Explorer is the web app accompanying the paper 'Fairness considerations in global mitigation investments' (Pachauri, et al., 2022). Users can select various indicators with a variety of weights to explore the ‘fair’ regional contributions to near-term regional mitigation investment needs. With this information, the web app determines the ‘fair-share’ regional contributions to their respective regional ‘cost-effective’ investment needs.
Dataset
A host of scientific chemistry and climate model experiments explore responses of the global atmosphere and climate systems to possible future changes in emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
The Pollution Management research group (formerly AIR program) has used its GAINS model to develop a set of global emission fields of nine substances that provide consistent sets of future sectoral emissions for well-specified assumptions on economic development and the effectiveness of dedicated emission control policies.
Model
Welcome to the world of PlantFATE, a novel eco-evolutionary vegetation model designed to unravel the intricate dynamics of forests and their response to environmental change. PlantFATE stands as a powerful tool to guide conservation efforts, inform policy decisions, and foster a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature. Embark on a journey through the intricate tapestry of forest resilience with PlantFATE as your guide.
Model
The ibis.iSDM package provides a series of convenience functions to fit integrated Species Distribution Models (iSDMs). With integrated models we generally refer to SDMs that incorporate information from different biodiversity datasets, external parameters such as priors or offsets with respect to certain variables and regions.
Model
MAGICC is a reduced complexity Earth system model that has been widely used in climate science for over three decades, most notably in multiple IPCC reports. It is most often used in a probabilistic setup, providing information not only about our best-estimate of future climate change but also the uncertainty that arises from interactions between the Earth system’s many components. MAGICC is also as the climate component in multiple integrated assessment models (IAMs).
