Facilitating the sustainable use of common resources
Ensuring the sustainable use and preservation of common resources is one of the major challenges facing humanity over the next century. Three studies undertaken by IIASA researchers in 2018 looked into conditions that would make this possible.
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 interconnectedness of these systems.
Supporting decision making under uncertainty
The need to account for uncertainty when making decisions is at the core of systems analysis, be it for decisions around crop allocation or the choice of technologies in the energy and water industries.
