Informe a la Conferencia de las Partes

The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) provides a progress report to the Conference of the Parties (CoP) as of June 2015. The report emphasizes the IAI's unique interdisciplinary model combining social and natural sciences to create policy-relevant solutions, while highlighting a critical regional lack of data infrastructure and the need for better integration of social scientists from the start of research projects.

• The IAI employs a unique interdisciplinary research model that integrates social and natural sciences to produce policy-relevant solutions, a model that is being observed by other global regions as an example.
• There is currently no regional framework or infrastructure in the Americas to host and distribute data and products to decision-makers or the general public, meaning the region relies on external products from the US-based NOAA and NASA.
• Based on the evaluation of CRN3 projects, the SAC recommends that future research calls involve social scientists from the beginning of the project rather than adding them at the end, and that capacity development be fully integrated into scientific programs.
• The SAC identifies specific successful projects, such as Cecilia Hidalgo's (CRN 3035) work on South American meteorological data since 1961 for crop models, and José Paruelo's (CRN 3095) modeling of population vulnerability to ecosystem service loss, such as soil salinity and hydrology changes due to deforestation.
• The SAC is exploring collaborations with international programs including Future Earth, IPBES, the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, and the Belmont Forum coordination model.
