Thank you Dipak :) Dear @kriitikaa_ , please feel free to get in touch regarding the book, we have a copy for you!
Keywan Riahi, director of the Energy, Climate and Environment (ECE) program @IIASAVienna on Austria's contribution to climate change (and urgent action needed) - in German:

👇Despite global commitments to reducing GHG emissions there's still significant gaps in both ambition and implementation. The #ELEVATE2024 report co-authored by @IIASAVienna's @ElinaBru, @setupel, @JKikstra and Keywan Riahi looks at the way forward to align with the 1.5°C goal.
🌍 New Report! The #ELEVATE2024 Annual Net-Zero Report highlights the 32 GtCO₂e gap between current policies and 2050 #NetZero targets. What’s the way forward to align with the 1.5°C goal? Find out here:

#ClimateAction #NetZero #ParisAgreement #COP29
👇 "no more hot air, please!" @IIASAVienna researchers @JoeriRogelj and @shonali_p contributed to the freshly published #emissionsgapreport @UNEP
Another year, another climate gap. 🌍🔥🌡️
It's the 15th time I joined the lead author team of the @UNEP #Emissionsgap report.
How high are global emissions?
What have countries pledged?
And is this all aligned with the Paris Agreement?
Let’s dig in with a 🧵/1
#HappyBirthday to Jimmy Carter who celebrates his 100th birthday today – an early supporter of @IIASAVienna. In 1977 he congratulated Jerman Gvishiani, IIASA’s Council Chair, on the Institute's 5th anniversary and the continued mission to solve the world’s complex problems.
Congratulations 👏📷 a link to the full text of Felicity's thesis is available from the
@BOKUvienna library catalogue: permalink.obvsg.at/bok/AC170…
📢 #LAMASUS_EU researcher Felicity Addo from @IIASAVienna received the ÖGA (Austrian Association of Agricultural Economics) Award for the Best Dissertation 🏆 for her thesis on "Assessing Productivity and Efficiency, and its Determinants: The Case of Crop Farms🌾in Austria"
👇Rising affluence and a warming climate mean that the demand for air-conditioning is rising rapidly 😓a heat wave read by @EdwardByers, @a_mastrucci, @vruijven, Measrainsey Meng and Volker Krey @IIASAVienna
🥵Currently in a heatwave... so what about electricity demands for AC in the future, if, e.g.:
- we provide universal access?
- warming accelerates faster than expected?
- we moderate AC cooling by a few °C

In 2021, the European Climate Law created the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change @esabcc_eu and tasked it to inform the EU’s #2040ClimateTarget and 2030-2050 greenhouse gas (GHG) budget.
Today, @esabcc_eu published its advice.
