Informe de la 29a reunión de la Conferencia de las Partes del Instituto Interamericano para la Investigación del Cambio Global

The report details the administrative, financial, and scientific outcomes of the IAI's 29th Conference of the Parties. Key actions include the approval of the 2021-2022 operating budget, the adoption of a gender policy for projects, and the establishment of a working group for national climate assessments in Latin America and the Caribbean. The meeting also addressed the financial pressure caused by unpaid voluntary contributions and the need to combat predatory scientific publishing in the Americas.

• The IAI is facing significant financial pressure due to the lack of payment of voluntary contributions from member Parties, which limits the Executive Directorate's ability to implement its work plan and has forced a reliance on consultancy services over permanent staff.
• The Conference of the Parties established a working group to develop and execute the 'Initiative for Conducting a National Climate Assessment in Support of Adaptation and Mitigation: Training and Capacity Development in Latin America and the Caribbean'.
• A new Gender Policy for IAI projects and activities was adopted to ensure gender balance in peer review committees and to support research that improves gender equality and socio-environmental justice.
• The IAI is implementing the SISSA (Drought Information System for Southern South America) project, funded by Euroclima+ and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), which will cover six countries in the Plata Basin from 2021 to 2024 with a budget of approximately 1.3 million Euros.
• The IAI's revised Scientific Agenda was adopted, with instructions for the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Science and Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) to further refine terminology regarding climate research, specifically including low-frequency and intraseasonal climate variability.
