ISIpedia - the open climate-impacts encyclopedia

ISIpedia is the outreach channel of ISIMIP presenting latest climate impact science in lay-man's terms. It is an online portal featuring national-level, cross-sectoral climate-impact assessments, based on state-of-the-art climate-impacts simulations from ISIMIP.

ISIpedia articles are written by scientists, and besides providing findings and data, articles tell about the research process, the methods they apply, what we do not know and what we know for sure. The articles are meant to inform relevant stakeholders (e.g. from the financial sector, political decision makers, adaptation planners, etc.), journalists and the interested public. Thus, if you are interested in reaching out to an audience outside the scientific community by developing an ISIpedia article related to your scientific publications, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the ISIpedia editorial team. Please find some further information on how to get engaged here.

The ISIpedia project was organised into 3 work packages:

• Stakeholder Engagement Team (SET, led by Climate Analytics) was responsible for ensuring that the needs and interest of end users are represented in every aspect of ISIpedia: design of the simulations, content of the impact assessments, and design of the online portal.
  
• ISIMIP Team (led by PIK) was responsible for the cross-sectoral and sector-specific coordination of the ISIMIP climate-impacts simulations, as well as the overall ISIpedia project coordination.
  
• Assessment & Editorial Team (AET, led by IIASA) was responsible for curating the content of the ISIpedia impact assessments, and for the online portal as a whole.
