This declaration emphasized that adaptation is a significant issue for Latin America and argued that decision-making must be based on consistent science and technology.
  • The Science and Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) was developed with an initial composition of nine members serving one-year terms, though subsequent guidelines suggested terms of 1 to 3 years to ensure continuity through staggered replacement. The committee held four teleconferences to develop guidelines for the CoP.
