Plan de Actividades del IAI para julio 2016 – junio 2017

The IAI's 2016-2017 plan focuses on enhancing interdisciplinary research through the CRN3 projects and new grants on ecosystem services for adaptation. Key capacity-building initiatives include professional seminars in Costa Rica, Chile, Dominican Republic, and Canada, as well as an advanced science school on the nitrogen cycle in Brazil. The institute aims to strengthen science-policy links through a MOOC launched at COP 22, a partnership with IPBES, and participation in the UN High-Level Political Forum regarding the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

• The IAI is prioritizing interdisciplinary research and policy reach within its CRN3 projects, including a call for small grants starting in August 2016 specifically addressing the 'role of ecosystem services in adaptation'. To ensure high-quality proposals, the Executive Directorate will provide capacity-building training for research teams.
• Capacity-building efforts for 2016/17 include professional seminars on tropical forest ecosystem services (July 2016 in Costa Rica and April 2017 in Chile) and interdisciplinary approaches to integrate science and policy for sustainability (November 2016 in Dominican Republic and May 2017 in Canada). Additionally, a school on the nitrogen cycle, environmental sustainability, and climate change is planned for August 2016 in São Paulo.
• The IAI is expanding its science-policy engagement through several international milestones: launching a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on global environmental change at COP 22 in November 2016, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with IPBES in September 2016, and participating in the UN High-Level Political Forum in July 2016 to discuss indicators for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
• The institute is pursuing a proposal with the MacArthur Foundation to increase applied research and capacity building regarding climate change and biodiversity conservation in the tropical Andes, with implementation targeted for late 2016 if funded.
