La Evaluación Regional del IAI

The report details a regional assessment conducted by the IAI to map national and international global change policies and decision-making landscapes. Using surveys, listening sessions, and policy document analysis, the assessment identifies 'Climate Action' as the top current policy priority for member parties, followed by 'Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services'. It also highlights emerging priorities related to social consequences, such as human health and poverty, and identifies intersectoral collaboration gaps as a primary barrier to integrating scientific information into policy decisions.

• Climate Action is the most critical current policy priority for IAI Parties, showing high agreement across all information sources. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services is also a high priority, though with a lower level of agreement among sources.
• Certain priorities vary by subregion: Water Security is a primary concern for countries in the Arid Andes (Chile, Bolivia, and Peru), while 'Clean air, water and soils' is the priority for North American countries (United States and Canada).
• Emerging policy priorities focus on the social impacts of global environmental change. Focal points identified Human Health and Wellbeing and Energy Security as most critical, while researchers prioritized Poverty and Equality.
• The primary barriers to using scientific information in decision-making are a lack of intersectoral collaboration, a lack of scientific information tailored for non-technical audiences, and competing government priorities.
• Opportunities for integrating science into policy include international cooperation and funding, multilateral agreements, and cross-border dialogue spaces. Researchers specifically highlighted the growing body of national and international evidence.
