Rebuilding trust in global climate mitigation scenarios A new IIASA-led study examines growing critiques of how global climate mitigation scenarios address equity and justice and identifies key conditions for fair, feasible, and politically credible climat...

Can climate mitigation scenarios be trusted without equity at their core? A new @plosclimate.org study "highlights a research agenda combining incremental improvements & participatory approaches - practical yet ambitious” says @joerirogelj.bsky.social iiasa.ac.at/news/feb-202...

How do current climate mitigation scenarios integrate equity and justice, and what needs to change to focus greater attention on equity and strengthen the relevance and credibility of future scenarios? Read our new publication:

Overshoot: Exploring the implications of meeting 1.5C climate goal ‘from above’ - Carbon Brief The first-ever international conference on the contentious topic of “overshoot” was held last week in...

📰 Your evening read on the IIASA #OvershootConference: @carlschleussner.bsky.social tells @carbonbrief.org that the scientific community is only just “beginning to appreciate” the need to understand & quantify how different overshoot pathways affect adaptation. www.carbonbrief.org/overshoot-ex...

The @ipcc.bsky.social has announced the authors for its Seventh Assessment Report (#AR7). With 3 Coordinating Lead Authors & 10 Lead Authors, IIASA will play a key part in delivering the best available knowledge to guide effective and equitable climate action.

REMASS - Home REMASS explores the resilience and malleability of global resource use by integrating social metabolism research with complexity science and political ecology to advance sustainability transformations...

We proudly present the new website of our FWF-Emerging Field Project REMASS - Resilience and Malleability of Social Metabolism.
REMASS studies how increasingly frequent disruptions in our volatile world affect resource use and efforts to achieve more sustainable and equitable societies.

“Income doesn’t tell us enough,” says IIASA's Roman Hoffmann. A new study in @nature.com shows 94.9% of households lack at least one basic living standard. Ending poverty requires more than income - it needs access to essential services.

New IIASA-led research shows that achieving sustainable development and climate targets at the same time is not only possible but necessary.

“Eradicating poverty and protecting the planet are not conflicting goals,” says lead author @kikstra.bsky.social.

🌍 New publication – and the final paper of my PhD!

Can we end poverty, provide decent living standards (and beyond) for all, and meet climate targets?

Guest post: How to apportion ‘net-zero carbon debt’ if global warming overshoots 1.5C - Carbon Brief Our findings show that some regions, such as western Europe and North America, will accrue net-zero carbon debt as soon as 2030.

☀️ 💰 In the next 10 years, we will exceed Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C warming limit. But who will be held responsible?

⚖️ In a new study, IIASA researchers explore the concept of a net-zero carbon debt, a transparent system that accounts for historical & future emissions.

📢 New paper w/ G. Ganti @robinlamboll.bsky.social L. Grant @cjsmith.be @shonali-p.bsky.social @joerirogelj.bsky.social K. Riahi @wimthiery.bsky.social @gidden.bsky.social

We examine a forward-looking measure to guide collective efforts in the era of climate overshoot: net-zero carbon debt.
