El rol de los representantes nacionales ante el IAI

This guide outlines the roles, responsibilities, and appointment processes for national representatives to the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). It details the governance structure of the IAI, including the Conference of the Parties and the Executive Council, and specifies the tasks national representatives must perform to bridge the gap between the Institute and national governments, scientific communities, and stakeholders.

• The Conference of the Parties (CoP) serves as the primary policy-making body of the IAI, meeting at least annually to adopt policies, approve the annual budget and Scientific Agenda, and elect members of the Executive Council, the Scientific Advisory Committee, and the Executive Director.
• The Executive Council consists of nine out of 19 Parties elected by the CoP for two-year terms. Its role is to develop policy recommendations for the CoP and ensure the Executive Directorate implements adopted policies.
• National representatives act as the primary link between the IAI and national agencies, scientific institutions, and stakeholders. Their mandate includes facilitating the nomination of experts to the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC), promoting the dissemination of IAI information, and assisting in the organization of workshops.
• National representatives should ideally be professionals from national ministries or secretariats of environmental sciences, particularly those with experience in the science-policy interface across sectors such as health, oceans, biodiversity, agriculture, technology, and environment.
• The IAI Executive Directorate serves as the central point of contact for national representatives, providing regular updates on activities, sharing scientific data and informative tools, and collecting relevant national information (such as scientific articles and national plans) to share with advisory committees and the IAI website.
