Pronunciamiento del Comité de Océanos, Islas y Regiones Costeras del Instituto Interamericano para la Investigación del cambio global

The Oceans, Islands and Coastal Regions Committee of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) issued a statement during its 33rd Conference of the Parties in Asunción, Paraguay, in May 2025. The document outlines the IAI's commitment to developing a regional transdisciplinary research and training program aligned with the UN Ocean Decade, promoting the 'One Blue Health' approach, and advocating for innovative financing mechanisms for ocean science in Latin America and the Caribbean.

• The Committee promotes the 'One Blue Health' approach, which connects ocean health with human, animal, and environmental well-being, and recommends integrating this approach into global ocean frameworks, such as the Declaration of the Third United Nations Ocean Conference.
• The IAI supports specific regional initiatives, including efforts to manage the sargassum crisis in the Caribbean to build a resilient blue economy and the leadership of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor (CMAR) to improve transboundary cooperation.
• There is an urgent need for accessible and tailored financing for ocean science in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The Committee calls for innovative financial models such as blue bonds, blended finance, and climate and ocean trust funds.
• The document emphasizes the necessity of valuing indigenous and local knowledge systems, ensuring the active participation of indigenous peoples and local communities in governance and capacity-building to create equitable ocean solutions.
