Conferencia de las Partes (CoP) del IAI Vigésima quinta reunión

The document provides a comprehensive historical record of the IAI's governance, detailing the outcomes of its Conferences of the Parties (CoP) from 1997 to 2017. Key recurring activities include the election of the Executive Council (CE), the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), and the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC), as well as the approval of annual operating budgets and country contributions. The records track the evolution of the institute's administrative framework, including the establishment of a Tripartite Headquarters structure, the development of open data and science policies, and the implementation of strategic plans for global change research. It also documents the institute's efforts to enhance science communication, manage funding through mechanisms like the Belmont Forum, and maintain diplomatic relations with member states across the Americas.

• The 25th CoP in 2017 mandated the Executive Directorate to establish a policy and principles for open data, referencing the Data Policy approved by the 2nd CoP.
• The IAI established a Tripartite Headquarters structure, with an implementation commission consisting of Argentina, Brasil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, United States, and Uruguay.
• The 22nd CoP issued a statement for the UNFCCC COP-20 in Peru, emphasizing that climate change adaptation is as critical as mitigation for Latin America and should be integrated into international decision-making using science and technology.
• The IAI created the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) during the 21st CoP to provide guidance on the design and application of science in policy formulation and decision-making.
• The institute has consistently approved annual operating budgets and member country contributions, with the 25th CoP approving the budget and contribution levels for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
• The 23rd CoP established a working group, comprising Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the US, and the Executive Directorate, to define a work plan for open science within the IAI.
• The IAI has utilized various funding programs for research, including the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) and Small Grants Programme-Human Dimensions (SGP-HD).
• The 25th CoP encouraged national delegates to promote the participation of their country's funding agencies in the 'Belmont Forum Americas Information Days' held in São Paulo, Brazil, in November 2017.
