Síntesis sobre la intención de conformar un consorcio entre el IAI y las oficinas regionales de ICSU y UNESCO en apoyo de las actividades de Future Earth

The proposed consortium between IAI, ICSU-ROLAC, and UNESCO aims to implement an interdisciplinary research and capacity-building program in Latin America and the Caribbean, focusing on sustainable energy and risk prevention and management within the Future Earth framework.

• The consortium's initial objective is to create a program for research, assessment, capacity building, and outreach focusing on two specific Future Earth themes: sustainable energy and risk prevention and management.
• The consortium members have distinct roles: ICSU-ROLAC provides regional coordination and links to Future Earth; UNESCO and ICSU manage contacts with regional member states; and the IAI contributes research and capacity building via continental networks.
• Regarding sustainable energy in Latin America and the Caribbean, the document notes the region is a major source of bioenergy and relies heavily on hydroelectric power, which competes with irrigation and fisheries. It advocates for a comprehensive approach to evaluate technologies including advanced biofuels, wind turbines, geothermal, hydroelectric, and hydrogen production for fuel cells.
• The region faces high risks from climate change and ocean-climate systems, specifically noting the sensitivity of the Andes and the impact of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on hydrology and ecosystems. Additionally, hurricane activity in the Caribbean and Central America is modulated by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and the Intra-American low-level jet.
• The consortium aims to support Latin American and Caribbean nations in developing secure, low-carbon energy systems while protecting ecosystem services and resources, and to integrate risk management to mitigate the impact of natural disasters on people and ecosystems.
