Informe a la 25a Conferencia de las Partes

The report outlines the SPAC's efforts to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and decision-making in the Americas. It provides strategic recommendations for the IAI regarding visibility, policy engagement, and financing, while detailing the outcomes of a multi-sectoral workshop in Argentina that integrated scientific research on health, coasts, land use, weather forecasting, and urban environments into local governance.

• The SPAC recommends that the IAI increase its visibility and policy relevance by focusing on synthesis products, developing a communication strategy, and creating web-based tools such as webinars and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
• To improve financing, the SPAC suggests adopting a "Belmont-type model" for scientific projects, diversifying income streams, and acting as a broker between Latin American and Caribbean research organizations and international funding bodies.
• The 2016 Mar del Plata workshop demonstrated the utility of integrating scientific data into local policy, specifically resulting in the Municipality of San Antonio de Areco incorporating a Hydrometeorological Risk and Climate Vulnerability Map into its New Territorial Ordering Code (COT) via Ordinance No. 4.163/2016.
• Research on coastal and marine ecosystems led to the approval of the PROMAR Law in the Argentine Congress, following studies on salinity anomalies in the Patagonia and Southern Brazil Marine Ecosystems and the Río de la Plata.
• The report identifies a need for a coordinated regional approach to monitoring and mitigating extreme events, supported by the Regional Climate Center for South America (CRC-SAS), which provides a daily climate database from 329 regional stations dating back to 1961.
• In the area of land use and hydrology, the ECOSER tool was used to evaluate socio-ecological vulnerability in the Chaco dry forests, highlighting limitations in Argentina's Federal Forest Law regarding conservation.
