Informe de la 58.a reunión del Consejo Ejecutivo del IAI

The 58th IAI Executive Council meeting report details the successful relocation of the IAI headquarters to Panama, a 20% increase in voluntary contributions for FY 2024-2025, and the launch of a Collaborative Research Action on Tropical Forests. Key future initiatives include a June 2025 CRA on Oceans, the establishment of an Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committee, and the rollout of a scientific diplomacy curriculum in early 2025. The report also confirms that the 33rd Conference of the Parties (CoP-33) will be held in Paraguay in May 2025.

• The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) successfully relocated its headquarters from Uruguay to Panama. An agreement was signed with the Panamanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on June 21, 2024, and a provisional office was established in the City of Knowledge, with a permanent office expected by early 2025.
• The IAI launched a Collaborative Research Action (CRA) on Tropical Forests in partnership with the Belmont Forum and Brazil's FAPESC. This initiative included a 32-hour virtual training course for 20 teams from 13 American countries, resulting in 14 project proposals and the selection of 9 projects for seed funding.
• The IAI is preparing a CRA on Oceans, scheduled for launch in June 2025 during the United Nations Ocean Conference in France. This project aims to support global research priorities regarding oceans, coasts, and islands.
• The Scientific Diplomacy Center (SDC) is operating under three pillars: capacity building, addressing emerging themes (such as AI, quantum technologies, and blockchain), and creating a centralized Scientific Diplomacy Repository. A scientific diplomacy curriculum developed with the University of Sao Paulo is expected to launch in early 2025.
• The IAI is establishing an Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committee (IPAC) to advise the Conference of the Parties on scientific agenda items, the strategic plan, and EDI (Gender, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) policies. The initial committee will consist of five indigenous experts from IAI member countries, with selection to be finalized by early 2025.
• The IAI reported a 20% increase in voluntary contributions for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, as agreed upon during the 32nd Conference of the Parties (CoP-32) to improve operational stability.
• The 59th Executive Council meeting is scheduled for May 28, 2025, and the 33rd Conference of the Parties (CoP-33) for May 29-30, 2025, both in Paraguay.
