Principios para guiar las actividades del Comité Asesor de Ciencia-Políticas del IAI

The IAI Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and policy-making to enable more informed adaptation decisions in the Americas. The committee proposes a strategy based on six core principles: starting with user needs, prioritizing processes over products, connecting information producers with users, building interdisciplinary connections, ensuring institutional stability, and designing for continuous learning. The IAI intends to evolve into a 'boundary organization' and knowledge broker, utilizing tools like 'deliberation with analysis' to manage scientific uncertainty and diverse stakeholder values in the context of global environmental change.

• The SPAC is tasked with three primary objectives: presenting scientific results in formats useful for decision-making, building institutional capacity for science-policy dialogue, and engaging political actors in IAI programs.
• The committee proposes six guiding principles for its work: focusing on user needs through bidirectional communication, prioritizing interpersonal and inter-institutional processes over final products, acting as a 'boundary organization' to link researchers and policymakers, leveraging interdisciplinary integration, maintaining institutional stability, and employing flexible, iterative learning designs.
• The IAI aims to implement a specific focus on adaptation, which it defines via the IPCC as adjustments in natural systems to climate stimuli to moderate damage or exploit opportunities.
