IIASA energy and air quality researchers have been recognized again for their outstanding contribution to scientific literature in the field of geosciences. More
Should policymakers be aiming to increase the number of people that are happy or the average happiness regardless of population size? However we choose to value the wellbeing of future generations, a smaller population could save tens of billions of dollars annually on climate change prevention policies. More
Excess emissions from diesel cars cause about 5,000 premature deaths annually across Europe, a new study shows. More
The Kigali Amendment of the Montreal Protocol aims to phase down the consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), chemicals that have strong global warming impacts. IIASA research provides the first analysis of costs and the importance of electricity savings and technological development for keeping implementation costs low. More
For the first time, the global abatement costs for achieving the substantial reductions in HFC consumption agreed in the Kigali Amendment of the Montreal Protocol from October 2016 have been estimated by researchers from IIASA's AIR program. More
Excess NOx emissions from diesel engines have been linked to approximately 38,000 premature deaths worldwide in 2015—mostly in the European Union, China, and India. More
Fast action on near-term warming will provide many potential benefits to achieving the global Sustainable Development Goal, according to new research from scientists at IIASA, in the USA and Europe. More
For China, synthetic natural gas represents a trade-off between reducing air pollution, but increasing greenhouse gas emissions, according to new IIASA research conducted in collaboration with scientists in China and the USA. More
Five IIASA studies published in Environmental Research Letters in 2016 were selected for the journal’s Highlights of 2016, as especially innovative or groundbreaking work. More
Transport and residential heating could be responsible for a greater contribution of black carbon in the Russian Arctic compared to gas flaring or power plants, according to new research. More
Emissions of methane and ethane from oil production have been substantially higher than previously estimated, particularly before 2005. More
