This executive summary outlines the results of an evaluation conducted by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research regarding policy priorities for global environmental change and the gap between science and policy across 17 countries in the Americas.

• The primary policy priorities in the region are climate action, biodiversity conservation, and water security, while health, poverty, and inequality are identified as emerging priorities.
• A significant barrier to evidence-based policymaking is the communication of science to non-technical audiences.
• The evaluation recommends strengthening intersectoral collaboration within and between countries, promoting continental-scale multinational scientific cooperation, and integrating science diplomacy and transdisciplinary training for science-policy intermediaries.
