Parties' Nominations for SPAC membership

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research is seeking nominations to replace three members of the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) and one member of the Science Advisory Committee (SAC) by June 2023. Nominations will be filled at the 31st meeting of the Conference of the Parties in Panama City. The institute emphasizes the need for international expertise in global change in the Americas, with a specific call for geographic, gender, and ethnic balance, noting underrepresentation of South America, the Caribbean, and the Tropical Andes. Desired expertise includes science diplomacy, economics, biodiversity governance, and informatics.

• The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) requires the replacement of three members of the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) and one member of the Science Advisory Committee (SAC) whose terms expire in June 2023.
• Vacancies for both committees are to be filled during the 31st meeting of the Conference of the Parties, scheduled for June 21 to 22, 2023, in Panama City, Panama.
• The IAI identifies specific geographic underrepresentation within its committees: South America and the Caribbean are underrepresented in the SPAC, while the Tropical Andes and the Caribbean are underrepresented in the SAC.
• The IAI is seeking candidates with specific complementary expertise, including science diplomacy, economics, agricultural policy, biodiversity governance, informatics, big data, artificial intelligence, and societal transformations.
