The Scenario Evolution Process – evolving the SSP/RCP framework
If you work with or are interested in Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), join us at the IIASA booth to learn more about the event "The Scenario Evolution Process – evolving the SSP/RCP framework" taking place Thursday, 7 May, 16:15-18:00 in Room 2.61. The Scenario Evolution Process is a community-led initiative to critically reassess, adapt, and potentially transform the SSPs to a more fit-for-purpose framework that supports research on resilient, equitable, and sustainable development and develop socioeconomic scenarios that have applicability beyond the climate change domain. Stop by to find out more about the upcoming splinter meeting and the broader initiative.

Validating the Gold Standard: How to Measure What Matters for Climate Resilience
Join IIASA researchers for an interactive deep-dive into over a decade of work with the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance. We will demonstrate how we moved from theoretical frameworks to a scientifically validated tool (FRMC/CRMC). This session will include a short "Resilience Challenge" where participants can test their intuition against our global data from 500+ communities.
