Platforms for profit and purpose
Digital platforms are changing the way we do business. A six-year research project tried to understand the consequences of this shift, including how platforms can improve resilience in an uncertain world.
Accessing the latest climate impact science just got easier
A new platform gives a better access to climate science for everyone.
Empowering citizens for successful energy transitions
A new study explored options for empowering citizens as a driver for moving from awareness about the need to transform energy systems to action and participation.
Combating climate change – how to best use new technologies?
A new grant from the European Research Council will fund an international research project on negative emissions technologies.
Bending the curve of biodiversity loss
Without ambitious, integrated action combining conservation and restoration efforts with a transformation of the food system, turning the tide of biodiversity loss by 2050 or earlier will not be possible.
Modeling ancient history to inform the future
Knowledge about prehistoric farming cultures can be used to provide insights on human societal responses to climate change.
Making comprehensive water resources modeling more accessible
A new large-scale, open source hydrological and water resources model will support different stakeholder groups and scientific communities investigations.
Exploring the impacts of climate change on hydropower production
Hydropower electricity generation would benefit more from a 1.5°C than a 2°C global climate warming scenario, shows a case study in Sumatra.
Defining a safe and just space for people and planet
A new working group of the Earth Commission, with renowned scientists from institutions around the world including IIASA, will investigate future pathways of how humanity might develop sustainably to ensure a safe and just world for all.
Five years after the Paris Agreement: The gap between promises and implementation
The results of a new study show that achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement will require a deep reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions, ideally by around 40% to 50% by 2030.
