Projects
Assessment of Climate Change Mitigation Pathways (AMPERE)
AMPERE researchers are using state-of-the art models to develop long-term strategies and scenarios to find economically feasible ways to lessen the global impact of climate change. More
European Consortium for Modelling of Air Pollution and Climate Strategies (EC4MACS)
EC4MACS provides scientific and economic analyses of policies in support of Europe’s Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution and the European Climate Change Programme in order to better understand how to further reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. More
Effects of Climate Change on Air Pollution and Response Strategies for European Ecosystems (ECLAIRE)
39 research partner institutions study the effects of climate change on ecosystems impacts in Europe and develop next generation European air pollution mitigation and adaptation strategies under climate change. More
Impacts of Short-Lived Air Pollutants (ECLIPSE)
ECLIPSE is conducting research to increase knowledge about emissions of ozone and aerosols, which act as short-lived climate forcers, and identify concrete, cost-effective abatement measures. More
Energy Use Impacts on the Environment (EnerGEO)
EnerGEO assesses the current and future impact of energy use on the environment by linking environmental observation systems with the processes involved in exploiting energy resources. More
Air pollution control strategies for Chinese cities with co-benefits for climate (GAINS-City)
By linking tools developed by Chinese researchers with IIASA’s GAINS model, the project connects data about urban air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions to allow Chinese officials to develop clean air policies for Chinese mega-cities that also lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions. More
Evaluating Black Carbon Cuts in Finland (MACEB)
IIASA researchers are using the GAINS model in a partnership with Finnish scientists to develop a tool by which the climate effects of reducing black carbon emissions from different economic sectors can be evaluated. More
Cutting Greenhouse Gases in Europe
IIASA researchers are using the GAINS climate model to support the European Commission’s effort to reduce greenhouse gases by 20 percent and significantly increase renewable energy use in Europe by 2020. More
Clean Air Strategies for Europe
IIASA’s Mitigation of Air Pollution & Greenhouse Gases Program (MAG) is using its modeling tools to identify strategies to assist in meeting European Union’s clean air goals. More
Integrated Assessment Modelling for negotiations under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP)
IIASA's Mitigation of Air Pollution & Greenhouse Gases Program develops modeling tools that identify strategies for European efforts to control air pollution in a cost-effective way. More
Atmospheric Aerosol Chemistry and Climate Change (PEGASOS)
The goal of PEGASOS is to enhance our understanding of the interactions of climate and atmospheric chemistry in the past, present and future. More
Ground-level ozone in Asia
Current and future economic growth will cause serious air quality problems in Asia, negatively impacting human health and crop production, unless further air pollution control policies are implemented. More
Vision and Transition Pathways towards a Low Carbon Green Korea
How can countries transition to sustainable economy? What would it look like? What changes are needed? And how could those changes be implemented? South Korean and IIASA researchers are collaborating on a new project to find the answers that policymakers need. More
