| The politics of geoengineering |
|
|
|
 |
In the 29 Jan issue of Science, IIASA’s Jason Blackstock argues that expanding national level geoengineering research should be tempered until a broad international process is established that ensures all countries have a voice on if, and how, this research can be safely conducted.

| 2050 emissions targets to limit long-term climate change |
|
|
|
 |
New research by NCAR and IIASA, published in the PNAS, links long-term climate policy targets to the short- and medium-term actions necessary to achieve them. Using the IIASA energy modeling framework, the study identifies critical mid-century emissions thresholds that, if surpassed, would make certain long-term goals unachievable. More.

| Least developed need adaptation assistance now |
|
|
|
 |
Large-scale impacts on human development and the environment in least developed countries will occur between now and 2030 unless there is urgent international financial assistance to help them adapt to climate-related extreme events. This research by IIASA, the University of Cape Town, and six partner institutions, is published in the PNAS. More. Posted January 4th, 2010.
