Informe de la Dirección Ejecutiva Ciencia-Política

The IAI Executive Directorate is implementing a multifaceted approach to improve the provision of scientific information to governments in the Americas. This includes drafting procedural regulations for the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC), establishing links with multilateral environmental agreements, and strengthening the capacity of member states to integrate science into public policy. The report highlights the conclusion of the third round of Cooperative Research Networks (CRN3), detailing how specific projects on nitrogen cycles, tropical dry forests, water security, and marine ecosystems have influenced national policies and management plans in countries such as Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Mexico.

• The IAI Executive Directorate has developed a procedural regulation for the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) and is working on a new Strategic Plan for the IAI to be presented at the 27th Conference of the Parties (CoP-27).
• The IAI is employing a multifaceted strategy to improve scientific information delivery to governments, which includes partnering with multilateral environmental agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
• The IAI is collaborating with the UN Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) and the QIAO Foundation on a project for decarbonization and climate-resilient governance in South American megacities, specifically involving Buenos Aires, Santiago, and São Paulo.
• The CRN3005 project on the nitrogen cycle influenced the creation of emission factors for nitrous oxide in Uruguay's national inventories and promoted legume crop rotations in Argentina to reduce fertilizer use.
• Research from the CRN3025 project on tropical dry forests found that sustainable-use protected areas, which allow indigenous and traditional uses, yield more positive conservation results than restricted-use areas, which often lead to conflict and deforestation.
• The CRN3036 project led to policy changes regarding mining in Ecuador and the implementation of an early warning system for deforestation and malaria outbreaks.
• The SAFER project (CRN3038) contributed to the approval of the Laguna de Rocha Management Plan in Uruguay and updated monitoring policies in Chile to include intact lakes as reference systems.
• The CRN3095 project developed the ECOSER tool for ecosystem services in land-use planning, which contributed to legal actions against illegal deforestation in Salta, Argentina.
