The Energy Program identifies viable solutions to these challenges, analyzes whether current policies are on track, and employs a systems perspective to examine interactions between different sectors and objectives. A central focus of the research is on energy strategies that help maximize synergies and minimize trade-offs between different societal objectives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1965","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","wpautop"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1965\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ar19.iiasa.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/04\/two_men_running-150x150.jpg\")
