Russian Federation

In 2015 IIASA and Russian researchers collaborated on a range of topics including the challenges and opportunities of Eurasian economic integration, uncertainty in future greenhouse gas emissions, and boreal forests.

Collaborations between IIASA and Russia intensified in 2015 with research advancing in a range of areas including:

  1. The analysis of the challenges and opportunities of Eurasian economic integration;
  2. Full carbon accounting of boreal forests; and
  3. Proper accounting of uncertainties when verifying mitigation efforts and analyzing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition, two young scientists from Russia developed their international and interdisciplinary research skills at IIASA in 2015.

Managing uncertainty in climate science and meeting sustainability constraints

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a particular challenge for sustainability. Decisions need to be made now to avoid unsustainable futures, but the basis for these decisions, in terms of both data and models, encompasses vast inherent uncertainties. Proper accounting of uncertainties when verifying mitigation efforts and analyzing scenarios of future emissions is the focus of several Advanced Systems Analysis (ASA) Program studies. more

Understanding ecosystem services of boreal forests

The Ecosystems Services and Management (ESM) Program’s Earth Observation Systems (EOS) group has continued their work on boreal forests. In 2015, improvements were made to the Terrestrial Ecosystem Full Verified Carbon Budget (FCA), including updating its ecological and economic aspects, and applying it to the ecosystems of Northern Eurasia. more
