Energy Research 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
Austrian Panel on Climate Change (APCC)
An in-depth assessment of the effects of climate change on Austria is underway and should support mitigation and adaptation strategies for the future. More
Energy and Economic Development
Access to energy and electricity are fundamental to meeting basic human needs, and they also spur growth in income and improvements in wellbeing. IIASA researchers are studying how access to energy supply affects people’s lives and livelihoods, and how to provide energy services equitably. More
Energy and Infrastructure
Developing countries’ demand for infrastructure, including roads, electrical grids, and public water systems, is growing rapidly. Building and maintaining that infrastructure requires energy, but how much? More
Household Energy Transitions
Many people rely on traditional and polluting forms of fuel like wood and coal that contribute to health problems and air pollution. How do people make choices about fuel and appliances, and how can policies encourage people to switch to cleaner fuels? More
Restructuring Systems to Limit Climate Change (LIMITS)
LIMITS is examining how to fundamentally restructure energy systems and land-use management practices on a global scale in order to limit warming from climate change to two degrees Celsius. More
