The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Executive Directorate report for July 2014 - May 2015 details the institute's efforts to link science with policy, its management of cooperative research networks, and its capacity-building initiatives across the Americas. Key activities include the 'Lima 2014 Declaration on Biodiversity and Climate Change', the establishment of a Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC), and the implementation of the third Cooperative Research Network (CRN3) program, which shows a significant trend toward interdisciplinary research.

• The IAI and the Ministry of Environment of Peru, along with GIZ and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), held an International Symposium on Biodiversity and Climate Change in Lima, Peru. This event resulted in the “Declaración de Lima 2014 sobre Biodiversidad y Cambio Climático”, which advocates for integrated research on biodiversity and climate change and better recognition of biological diversity issues within the climate change context.
• The IAI established a Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) to strengthen the link between science and decision-making. The committee, consisting of 9 members, is intended to function as a think tank that leverages the IAI's scientific credibility and political representation to provide strategic thinking on regional and continental responses to global change.
