The document is a list of actions from the Fifteenth Meeting of the Executive Council (EC) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held on June 25-26, 2002, in São José dos Campos, Brazil. The meeting focused on administrative approvals, the Small Grants Program (SGP), the composition of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), and financial planning for the 2002/2003 fiscal year.

• The Executive Council (EC) approved 16 projects rated as 'good' or higher for funding under the IAI Small Grants Program (SGP). The total funding required for these projects is US$ 385,000, necessitating US$ 40,000 from non-US sources to complement available resources. Additionally, the United States delegation increased its contribution to the SGP from US$ 300,000 to US$ 340,000.
• The EC approved the composition of the Nominations Committee for the election of Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) members. This committee includes two EC members (Eladio Zarate of Costa Rica and Mary Kayano of Brazil), one Conference of Parties (CoP) member (Danilo Lopez of Venezuela), one SAC member (Gerhard Breulmann), and one Brazilian scientist (Valdir Innocentini).
• The EC approved a recommendation from the Working Group on DIS to close the nodes in Costa Rica and Uruguay, maintaining only the node in Brazil.
• The EC approved the IAI Basic Budget request for the 2002/2003 fiscal year and the IAI Financial Statement for 2000/2001, elevating both to the CoP-IX.
• The EC decided to postpone a decision regarding the condonation of debts for Parties that are behind on payments, following a recommendation from the Argentina delegation to conduct a deeper analysis and discuss the matter with the new Director.
