This briefing, issued by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) on September 27, 2018, presents a draft outline of the IAI's Strategic Plan for review by its member Parties. The document details the process for developing the plan, its overarching vision and mission, and a structured framework organized around three main themes: responding to the needs of member Parties, advancing science for sustainability in the Americas, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the IAI organization.

• The IAI's draft Strategic Plan is designed to serve as a long-term roadmap for the next 25 years, aiming to define the institute's contributions to member Parties in facing global change and to secure additional funding for long-term organizational sustainability.
• The proposed Strategic Plan is structured around three primary themes: meeting the needs of member Parties, 'Science for the Sustainability of the Americas' (the IAI Scientific Agenda), and the sustainability of the IAI itself.
• The IAI's scientific agenda focuses on five key areas of sustainability: food security, water security (including cross-border cooperation and hydroclimatic modeling), energy security, health and wellbeing, and biodiversity and ecosystem services (BSE).
• The plan identifies several cross-cutting elements that must be integrated into every fundamental objective, including providing opportunities for women, girls, and indigenous peoples, promoting open science and data, and strengthening the science-policy interface through capacity building.
• To achieve its goals, the IAI proposes establishing partnerships with research centers, universities, NGOs, and government departments, as well as creating fellowship and mentorship programs to train young experts in the science-policy interface.
• The development of the Strategic Plan follows a timeline established at the 26th Conference of the Parties (CoP-26) in Antigua, Guatemala, with the draft outline released three months after CoP-26 and a final draft to be presented at CoP-27.
