Informe de la Dirección Ejecutiva Promoción y cooperación mundial

The IAI Executive Directorate reports on its 2018-2019 efforts to strengthen science-policy interfaces and international partnerships. Key activities include signing a Memorandum of Understanding with IPBES, collaborating with UNOSSC on South-South cooperation for urban climate resilience in South American megacities, and pursuing an Associate status with the Green Climate Fund. The IAI also joined the Belmont Forum Steering Committee and explored a cooperative research action on food security and climate change with France's National Research Agency, attracting interest from Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Additionally, the report details engagements with the IPCC, the European Commission, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research to foster intercontinental cooperation on climate risks.

• The IAI Executive Directorate signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) in 2018 to support research, capacity building, and the provision of scientific information for biodiversity and global change policies.
• The IAI, UNOSSC, and UNFCCC co-sponsored a South-South Cooperation workshop in Montevideo, Uruguay, on August 20, 2018, focusing on climate challenges in urban areas of Latin America and the Caribbean, specifically regarding decarbonization and climate-resilient governance in South American megacities.
• The IAI is seeking to become an Associate of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in Latin America and collaborated with the GCF to organize a side event during COP 24 in Katowice, Poland.
• The IAI joined the Belmont Forum Steering Committee in October 2018 to influence global change research funding and explore a flexible financing mechanism for the Americas.
• A Cooperative Research Action (CRA) proposal on Food Security and Climate Change, developed with the French National Research Agency (ANR) via the Belmont Forum, received expressions of interest from Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
• The IAI is collaborating with the UNFCCC Secretariat to develop a joint policy report on coastal zone technologies, focusing on reducing losses and damages and improving resilience for vulnerable populations, based on results from project IAI CRN3070 in southern South America.
• The IAI is engaging with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as a potential regional partner for a new initiative titled "Climate Change and Climate-Related Natural Hazards" to strengthen intercontinental cooperation.
• The IAI established a relationship with the American Chemical Society (ACS) to promote "Chemistry for Sustainability" and strengthen ACS chapters in Latin America and the Caribbean.
