🍫 How can something as simple as a chocolate bar help us interest the next generation in pressing global issues? 🏫 Today students from Keimgasse High School visited IIASA for a learning experience exploring real-world global challenges. Using the journey of a bar of chocolate as an example, IIASA researchers introduced the group to systems thinking and life-cycle analysis. 👉 iiasa.ac.at/events/mar-202…

Last week, IIASA had the privilege of hosting Austrian Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen at Schloss Laxenburg. Austria is IIASA’s host country and one of its founding members, with its membership dating back to 1973. 👉 iiasa.ac.at/news/mar-2026/… 📷 Peter Lechner HBF @oeaw

New studies show net zero isn’t enough. Stabilizing long-term climate risks may require centuries of net-negative CO₂ emissions. Even at 1.5°C, impacts like sea-level rise can keep worsening. Bottom line: net zero is a milestone, not the endpoint: iiasa.ac.at/news/mar-2026/… @NatureComms @IOPenvironment
