Report of the IAI Directorate

The IAI Directorate Report (May 2006 - May 2007) outlines the institute's efforts to integrate global change science with policy, particularly regarding land-use change and biofuels in the La Plata Basin and Central Brazil. It details various international collaborations (e.g., with IDRC, NCAR, and SCOPE), the implementation of Collaborative Research Networks (CRN I and II), and the results of the Training Institute Seed Grants (TISG) program, which supported 44 scientists across 19 countries. The report also highlights fundraising efforts, including a proposal to the MacArthur Foundation for assessing climate change impacts on biodiversity in the Andes.

• The IAI Director developed a concept note for an international, interdisciplinary research and policy program focused on land-use change and rural transformation in Central Brazil and the La Plata Basin, driven by global demand for biofuels. The program aims to assess risks such as flooding in the eastern La Plata basin and drought in the west, while evaluating the costs and benefits of substituting fossil fuels with renewable biofuels.
