Scenarios from Integrated Assessment & energy systems models are an important part of the policy discourse for getting to net-zero.

#IIASA, #IAMC and the #EarthFund are starting a new initiative to make these scenarios more accessible and actionable!

China orbiting the World's first 6G satellite Tianyan-5 - GTech Booster

The Tianyan-5 satellite is a remote-sensing satellite jointly developed by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, distinct from other Tianyan satellites that are part of China's reconnaissance satellite program. This satellite is specifically associated with being the world's first 6G satellite, utilizing Terahertz waves for high-speed data…

The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (#SSPs) are a key input to
#ClimateChange #mitigation & #adaptation research - but what about structural change, #inequality & #governance?

The #SSP-Extensions Explorer presents an #openaccess platform for several indicators in a user-friendly and intuitive interface. All data are available for download under a #CreativeCommons CC-BY license in the #IAMC format for simple reuse in scenario analysis and further work.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: ICONICS webinar on the SSP Extensions Explorer. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

As part of the ICONICS webinar series, we will launch the new SSP Extensions Explorer! Researchers at IIASA have been working on a new tool that gathers more than a dozen quantitative extensions to the SSP framework, which have emerged in the literature since the publication of the original set of drivers. This collection now spans a broad range of socio-economic indicators, from extreme poverty to gender equality. The new tool aims to create a user- and model-friendly interface that is meant to be a one-stop shop for accessing the SSP extensions and a platform that facilitates a conversation on the next generation of scenarios. We hope to use this opportunity to collect first feedback from the community, learn about the datasets we might have missed and discuss further development.

Last week, the Integrated-Assessment Modeling Consortium (#IAMC) & #ICONICS released an update of basic drivers of the the "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways" (#SSPs).
They are an integral part for #scenario research on #ClimateChange #mitigation & #adaptation.

So... why does the #IAMC modelling community assume population to be static relative to #temperature change? Clearly, increasing #ClimateChange impacts (droughts, floods, wildfires, ..) must have an impact on society?
Well... it's a modeling choice to focus on #mitigation options.

Another step for easier #scenario analysis & #dataviz!
🎉 New release v1.7 of our #opensource #python package #pyam_iamc for working with #IntegratedAssessment & #EnergySystems scenario data in the #IAMC format!
