The document contains the minutes and action lists from the Twelfth Meeting of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Executive Council (EC), held in San José, Costa Rica, on December 4-5, 2000. The meeting focused on institutional strengthening, financial deficits in the core budget, the status of scientific programs such as the Initial Science Program (ISP) and Collaborative Research Network (CRN), and the development of an external evaluation for the IAI.

• The IAI is experiencing a financial deficit in its core budget, with the 1999-2000 budget ending with a deficit of incoming contributions by 10-15%. The Executive Council (EC) urged all member countries to maintain their voluntary contributions to avoid a more alarming deficit.
• The IAI's Initial Science Program (ISP) has seen the completion of all projects from rounds I and II, and four of the sixteen projects from round III are also finished. The IAI is now tasked with determining how to provide the resulting scientific information to policy- and decision-makers.
• The Collaborative Research Network (CRN) program has successfully leveraged additional resources totaling US$ 2,219,000 from sources including the NSF, the Argentinean Agency for Sc. & Technology, and NOAA/OGP.
• The United States, via the U.S. NSF and the U.S. Global Change Research Program, offered to consider a proposal for a new research program with funding up to US$ 300,000. The U.S. delegation noted that its support is under increasing scrutiny due to the lack of financial participation from other governments.
• The EC approved the initial Terms of Reference (TOR) for an External Evaluation of the IAI, developed by a working group including members from Canada, Costa Rica, Uruguay, and Mexico.
• The IAI is working to strengthen institutional ties with member countries, as the Director noted it is "embarrassing" that the Institute lacks strong institutional involvement from member countries during its current phase.
• The IAI Data and Information System (DIS) has successfully installed a node in Uruguay, though the installation of a node in Costa Rica has been delayed by hardware problems.
