Programa Anual (Julio 2009-Junio 2010)
Summary
The IAI's 2009/10 annual plan focuses on transdisciplinary research, synthesis of the CRN II program, and specific projects regarding land use, biofuels, and biodiversity in the Andes and the Plata basin. Key planned events include a scientific-policy forum in Ecuador and a training institute in Chile, alongside strategic planning and institutional capacity building.
Key insights
- The IAI is advancing a transdisciplinary approach by integrating social dimensions into natural sciences through Cooperative Research Networks and Small Grants for Human Dimensions.
- The institute is managing several specific regional projects, including an IDRC-funded project on land use change, biofuels, and rural development in the Plata basin, and a MacArthur Foundation-funded evaluation of climate change and Andean biodiversity.
- Planned events for the 2009/10 period include a scientific-policy forum on ecosystem services and climate change adaptation in the Andes to be held in Ecuador in July, and a 2010 training institute in Chile focused on urban responses to climate change.
- The IAI intends to participate in the UNFCCC SBSTA meeting in Bonn in June to engage Parties in scientific and political activities regarding adaptation, mitigation, biofuels, and soil quality.
- The Executive Directorate has submitted proposals for funding regarding biodiversity gradients in the Northern Andes to the MacArthur Foundation and health and climate change adaptation to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), though the latter faces eligibility questions.
