The report details the proceedings and decisions of the 32nd meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP-32) to the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held via videoconference on May 22-23, 2024. The meeting focused on financial planning, the relocation of the IAI headquarters from Uruguay to Panama, the integration of Indigenous and local knowledge into scientific research, and the expansion of the Institute's network of Associates.

• The Conference of the Parties approved a core budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal year that includes a 20% increase in voluntary contributions, with subsequent preliminary requests for 2025-2027 proposing annual increases of 5%.
• The IAI is relocating its headquarters from Uruguay to Panama. Due to legislative requirements in Panama and a definitive decision by Uruguay to end immunities and privileges by October 2024, the Parties adopted a decision to request an extension of operations in Uruguay until July 31, 2025.
• The IAI is working to integrate diverse knowledge systems by designing two new advisory committees: one for representatives of Indigenous Peoples and another for representatives of Local Communities.
• The IAI expanded its network of Associates by inviting the Center for Climate and Resilience Research (CR2) of the University of Chile, the Santa Catarina Research and Innovation Foundation (FAPESC) of Brazil, and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) to join the Institute.
• The IAI Science Diplomacy Center (SDC) has launched a training program for policy makers, resulting in the 'Panama Declaration, "Science Diplomacy to address global challenges"', and is developing a virtual open-access curriculum for Latin America and the Caribbean.
• The IAI's scientific activities include collaborations with the Belmont Forum on migration, human mobility, and the nexus of climate, environment, and health (CEH), as well as a new focus on oceans, islands, and coastal systems.
• The IAI has implemented open data policies using an open data catalog on Harvard's Dataverse, containing 23 datasets from 2019-2022, and a publications database with over 600 reports and publications.
• The STeP program has engaged 67 fellows from 14 countries to date, with the fourth generation of fellows beginning at the end of June 2024.
