The document outlines the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) program plan for 1998-1999 and beyond. It details strategic goals for scientific development, capacity building, and financial sustainability, alongside a work plan of funded activities and a list of potential future initiatives focused on climate monitoring and disaster preparedness in the Americas.

• The IAI's strategic goals for the 1998-1999 period and beyond focus on advancing the Scientific Program, enhancing regional capacity building, increasing the dissemination of activities to policy and decision-making levels, expanding scientist and country participation, strengthening international cooperation on global environmental change, and securing funding through agreements with local and international agencies.
• The IAI has allocated specific funding for training and education, including 1,200,000 for graduate and postdoctoral studies in Brazil (1/99-1/03), 300,000 for postdoctoral studies in Mexico (1/99-1/01), and 600,000 for an IAI Summer School at the University of Miami (6/99-6/01).
• Future potential activities include a proposal to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for CO2 monitoring in the Amazon Basin, supported by Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia; a 'Climate Variability and Agriculture Workshop in Latin America' planned for early 1999; and the development of a Pan-American Climate Information System (PACIS) for disaster preparedness, supported by the governments of Chile and the USA.
• The IAI is planning scientific and capacity-building activities in the Caribbean region, which include a survey of global change research, short courses on coastal resource management and GIS software, and courses on environmental engineering at the University of West Indies.
