Informe de la 54.ª reunión del Consejo Ejecutivo del IAI

The report details the 54th meeting of the Executive Council of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held on November 15, 2022, in Montevideo and via videoconference. The meeting focused on reviewing decisions from the 30th Conference of the Parties (CoP-30), discussing the operational budget, and reporting on scientific and capacity-building activities across the Americas.

• The IAI is in the process of recruiting a new executive director, with nominations closing on November 1, 2022. A Selection Committee consisting of the Parties, chairs of the SAC and SPAC, and the director of the Belmont Forum is overseeing the process.
• The IAI has established a Gender, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee to implement activities under a specific policy for capacity development and scientific projects, with a report due at CoP-31 in Panama City in 2023.
• A steering committee for the IAI Center for Science Diplomacy held its first meeting in Punta del Este, Uruguay, from November 11 to 13, 2022. This committee includes representatives from Brazil, Chile, and the United States.
• The IAI's operational budget is currently supported by contributions sufficient to maintain the Executive Directorate, though missing contributions from some Parties negatively impact capacity. An emergency fund of USD 400,000 has been created, which can sustain operations for approximately 3 months.
• The IAI is managing three Collaborative Research Actions (CRA) with the Belmont Forum: one on the Amazon and tropical forests (currently in the scoping phase), one on human migration and mobility (in final project selection), and a second 'Climate, Environment and Health' project planned for early 2023.
• The IAI is implementing a project on early warning systems for climate-sensitive diseases in the Caribbean region, specifically operating in Barbados, Saint Lucia, and Grenada.
• The IAI collaborated with several entities to hold the Americas Conference on Solar Radiation Modification in Kingston, Jamaica, on August 24-25, 2022, to introduce the concept and current science of Solar Radiation Modification (SRM).
• The IAI is collaborating with the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea via the Korea Environmental Corporation, resulting in the placement of Korean interns and early-career researchers at the IAI.
