Directors proposal on SPAC
Summary
The report proposes the establishment and Terms of Reference for the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). The SPAC is intended to bridge the gap between scientific research and policy implementation through a nine-member committee of experts. The document details the committee's mandate, composition, and a proposed list of candidates, while incorporating feedback from policy-makers to ensure geographic and sectoral balance.
Key insights
- The Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) is designed to assist the IAI in improving links between scientific research and policy-making. Its primary objectives are to advise on the presentation of scientific results for decision-making, build institutional capacity for science-policy dialogue, and engage policy stakeholders in IAI programs.
- The SPAC will consist of nine members invited by the CoP, who serve in their personal capacity for two-year terms, with eligibility for a second term only on an exceptional basis. Ex-officio members include the IAI Executive Director and the Chairs of the Executive Council and Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC).
