Declaración de Asunción de las Partes e instituciones asociadas al IAI sobre Seguridad Hídrica, Biodiversidad, y Resiliencia Climática en las Américas

The Asunción Declaration, issued on May 30, 2025, by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) and its associated institutions, outlines a commitment to enhancing water security, biodiversity, and climate resilience across the Americas through transdisciplinary science, regional cooperation, and the integration of diverse knowledge systems.

• The document highlights an increase in the frequency and intensity of climate-related extreme events in the Americas, including heatwaves, wildfires, floods, and droughts, which have caused significant economic and human losses and negatively impacted biodiversity.
• While the region has made progress in energy transition, with renewable energies accounting for 69% of participation according to a 2024 WMO report, climate extremes and droughts continue to pose risks to energy distribution and sources, particularly wind, solar, and hydraulic resources.
• The signatories commit to strengthening regional early warning systems and responses by utilizing transdisciplinary science—incorporating hydrology, meteorology, economics, and social sciences—across sectors such as energy, agriculture, health, water, sanitation, and transport.
• The declaration emphasizes the need for scientific diplomacy and the exchange of open, interoperable data and meteorological services to support national and subnational planning and meet multilateral environmental and climate agreements.
• There is a specific commitment to integrate indigenous and traditional knowledge to improve climate resilience, adaptation strategies, and early warning systems.
