Report of the IAI Executive Council

This report from the Chair of the Executive Council (EC) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) outlines the EC's activities and recommendations ahead of the 27th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP-27) in Brasilia, Brazil.

• The Executive Council (EC) recommends that the Conference of the Parties (CoP-27) adopt the draft IAI Strategic Plan, the draft rules of procedure for the Science-Policy Advisory Committee, and the revised IAI Scientific Agenda.
• The EC is supporting the establishment of a flexible mechanism to facilitate funding for scientific projects on global change in the Americas, specifically noting the potential for increased funding through the Belmont Forum's Collaborative Research Action (CRA) program.
• An Advisory Committee for the Selection of the IAI Science Director received 52 applications from 13 of the 19 IAI Parties, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, United States, and Venezuela. Additionally, applications were received from non-party states including Ethiopia, India, Italy, Guyana, United Arab Emirates, and Zambia.
• The EC has not yet been able to review or recommend the IAI Auditors Report and IAI Financial Status Report because the IAI Directorate is missing required documentation and reports from Principal Investigators of CRN3 projects.
• The EC has discussed the establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Organization of American States (OAS) and seeks to be informed of joint activities implemented with the organization.
