1 Integrated Science and Systems Approaches in Support of Global Transitions Prof Dr Pavel Kabat IIASA Director/CEO

2 MAJOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES

3 FOOD

4 925 million people were undernourished in 2010 (FAO) By 2030, the world’s population will have increased by one billion (IIASA) Agriculture accounts for 70% of freshwater withdrawals (UN Water)

5 MAJOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES WATER

6 884 million people have inadequate access to safe freshwater (WHO & UNICEF) Water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century (FAO & UN-Water) Hydropower supplies about 20% of the world’s electricity (ICOLD)

7 MAJOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES ENERGY

8 2.5 billion people are without access to modern energy (IIASA/GEA) World primary energy demand expected to increase by 36% between 2008 & 2035 (IEA) Energy production and consumption contributes over 80% of global GHG emissions (IIASA)

9 MAJOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES CLIMATE CHANGE

10 Eleven of the last twelve years (1995-2006) rank among the twelve warmest years in the instrumental record of global surface temperature (since 1850). (IPCC) Average temperatures predicted to increase by 1.1 to 6.4°C by 2100 (IPCC) 70 million Africans could suffer from devastating floods as a result of climate change (IPCC)

11 MAJOR GLOBAL CHALLENGES POVERTY & EQUITY

12 Over 24,000 children die each day due to poverty (UNICEF) 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day (World Bank) “Hunger is a cause of poverty, not just a consequence of it.” (FAO)

13 INEXTRICABLY LINKED Energy & Climate Change Poverty & Equity Food & Water

14 IIASA’S APPROACH

15 RESEARCHING GLOBAL CHALLENGES Integrated Interdisciplinary International Independent Solution-oriented Long term Trade offs } = Systems Analysis

16 ADVANCED SYSTEMS ANALYSIS: PAST SUCCESSES Dynamic Systems Multi-criteria decision analysis Adaptive dynamics theory Game theory Agent-based modeling Stochastic optimization NEW RESEARCH Advances in Modeling Dynamic Systems Extreme events, Systemic Risks and Robust Solutions Integrated Modeling and Decision Support Advanced Systems Analysis Forum

17 IIASA helps to put the puzzle together

18 NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS Professor Tjalling Koopmans and Professor Leonid Kantorovich Nobel Prize in Economics (1975)

19 NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS Professor Paul Crutzen Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1995)

20 NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS Professor Thomas C. Schelling Nobel Prize for Economics (2005)

21 NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Nobel Peace Prize (2007)

30 ENERGY & CLIMATE CHANGE

31 RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Energy and Climate Change Highly Published

32 Synergies of Multiple Energy Objectives Added costs of ES and PH are comparatively low when CC is taken as an entry point Only ClimateOnly Pollution Only Energy Security All Three Objectives Integrated Climate-Pollution- Security Policies “Single minded” approaches for multiple challenges

33 Source: Shindell et al., Science (2012) 335 no. 6065; p. 183-189 Reference scenario IEA World Energy Outlook 2009 CO 2 measures IEA 450 ppm scenario 2009 Near-term measures IIASA set of 16 measures for CH 4 and black carbon CO 2 + Near-term measures GAINS identified 16 key air quality measures that, together with CO 2 mitigation, increase chances to stay below the 2º target Global temperature 1900-2070 These 16 measures are ‒ win (for air quality), ‒ win (for near-term climate change) ‒ win (for economic development). http://gains.iiasa.ac.at

34 Carbon payments for forest conservation would dramatically reduce species extinctions Changes in forest cover over the twenty-first century, within presumed REDD-eligible regions Between 10 and 25% of 4,514 forest-dependent mammal and amphibian species would become extinct

35 World – Historic Primary Energy Transitions (changeover time Δt: 80-130 years) Begin of energy policy Focus: Δt’s >2000 yrs Source: GEA KM24, 2012 Δt -130 yrs Δt -80 yrs Δt +90 yrs Δt +130 yrs

36 The Global Energy Assessment (GEA)
