The document outlines the preliminary framework for the IAI's Strategic Plan, identifying the need for a new approach due to evolving global change science and an increasing number of stakeholders. It defines the plan's objective as guiding the IAI's scientific and programmatic agenda for 5-10 years, strengthening the science-policy relationship in the Americas, and preparing for a strategic planning workshop in November 2008. The framework is organized around four key themes: global change science, knowledge-involved dialogue, IAI governance, and cross-cutting issues.

  • The IAI identifies several drivers necessitating a new Strategic Plan, including the transition from environmental science to the integration of human dimensions, the emergence of new stakeholders, and a shift from identifying problems toward seeking solutions, specifically mentioning the role of agent-based modeling.
  • The primary objectives of the Strategic Plan are to provide a guide for the IAI's institutional agenda over the next 5-10 years, move away from an opportunistic model, and enhance the science-policy relationship and the role of science in political dialogue within the Americas.
  • The IAI has established four thematic areas to guide its strategic synthesis: Global Change (CAG) science, knowledge-involved dialogue, IAI governance, and cross-cutting themes such as the coordination of CAG activities with regional development and data management needs.
