SAC, SPAC and IPAC Advisory Committees Statement Confirming Support for the IAI

The leadership of the Scientific, Science Policy, and Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committees affirms the strategic importance of the IAI for the Americas, citing its role in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Despite the United States' intent to withdraw, the committees emphasize the IAI's track record of funding collaborative research across 19 countries and its necessity for future cooperation on energy transitions and climate-health links.

• The IAI is considered strategically vital for the Americas to address the three planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, especially given increasing social, economic, and environmental vulnerability in the region.
• Since its inception in 1992, the IAI has funded collaborative research projects involving over 120 institutions across 19 countries, resulting in hundreds of policy-informing publications and capacity-building workshops spanning more than 40 disciplines.
• Future regional cooperation and stewardship are required for critical research areas, including the implications of energy transitions, biodiversity loss and its economic effects, and the intersection of climate and health.
