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 push the frontiers of science on the conceptualization, interdisciplinary integration, and modeling of demand.
Technological innovations for achieving the SDGs
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all. A global research initiative established by IIASA provides information and guidance to policymakers for the successful implementation of these important goals.
Pioneering a new approach to systems transformations
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 technologies.
