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, outlines a regional framework for the Americas to address climate extremes such as droughts and floods. It emphasizes the integration of transdisciplinary science, indigenous knowledge, and open data exchange to improve early warning systems and protect water, food, health, and energy security. The declaration highlights the region's 69% renewable energy share while noting the vulnerability of energy sources to climate events.

• Climate extremes in the Americas, including droughts, floods, wildfires, and heatwaves, are increasing in intensity and frequency, resulting in significant economic and human losses and negative impacts on biodiversity.
• While the Americas have achieved a 69% share of renewable energy in generation and transition, climate extremes like droughts pose risks to the distribution and sources of energy, particularly regarding wind, solar, and hydraulic resources.
• The implementation of the UN 'Early Warnings for All' (EW4All) initiative in the Americas by 2027 requires regional cooperation, financial resources, technology transfer, institutional capacity building, and the integration of scientific, indigenous, and traditional knowledge.
• The signatories commit to strengthening regional early warning and response systems by leveraging transdisciplinary science across sectors including health, water, sanitation, agriculture, energy, and transport.
• The declaration calls for the promotion of open and interoperable data exchange and the use of scientific diplomacy to foster regional dialogue and collaboration between science and policy.
