Pushing frontiers in science: Rethinking demand Under the 2018 thematic focus of Consumption and Production, IIASA partnered with the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) to organize an international, interdisciplinary workshop aiming to...
One of the greatest challenges the world faces is how to limit climate change to below 1.5˚C. A groundbreaking IIASA study demonstrated the benefits of following an end-use, low energy demand (LED) strategy that does not rely on so-called negative emissions...
Analyzing potential shocks to financial systems Understanding the dynamics of an emerging economy like Mexico requires insight into the shocks that could impact its external financial account and particularly its stock market. IIASA researchers analyzed interactions...
Eco-evolutionary models are becoming increasingly important for biodiversity management as they enhance the realism of how underlying processes are represented. IIASA researchers contributed towards improving descriptions of biodiversity dynamics by using newly...
Policy advice informed by evolutionary fisheries science Fishing not only affects the numbers of fish, but also their heritable characteristics through evolutionary changes. IIASA research in this area sheds light on how fish reproduce under increasing fishing...
Understanding ecological resilience through network science People depend on ecosystems for food and other environmental services. In 2018, a number of IIASA projects focused on methods from network science that link resilience with the structure and...
