Artículo XI del Acuerdo para la Creación del Instituto Interamericano para la Investigación del Cambio Global: Asociados del Instituto

The document is a formal proposal from Venezuela to the 33rd meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). It argues that the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC), established in 1959, possesses the necessary scientific capacity and regional influence to serve as an IAI associate. The proposal highlights IVIC's recent expansion into global change research through new centers for environmental crisis, oceanology, and atmospheric sciences. Specifically, it emphasizes the Climate Change Services System (S2C2-IVIC), which provides predictive models for extreme weather and climate impacts. The document cites S2C2-IVIC's success in predicting a megadrought starting in 2019 that affected the Paraná river basin and the economies of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

• Under Article XI of the IAI Agreement, the Conference of the Parties may invite external states, intergovernmental bodies, industries, and non-governmental or private organizations to become associates to support the Institute's Scientific Agenda and programmatic activities.
• The Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) has expanded its global change research capabilities by opening the Center for Studies of the Global Environmental Crisis, the Center for Oceanology and Antarctic Studies, and the Center for Atmospheric Sciences and Biogeochemistry.
• IVIC operates the Climate Change Services System (S2C2-IVIC), an interdisciplinary system that generates predictive models based on sea surface temperatures and marine heatwaves to forecast precipitation dynamics and extreme phenomena in South America.
• The S2C2-IVIC models predicted a megadrought beginning in 2019 in the Paraná river basin more than a year in advance, which impacted ecosystems such as the Pantanal, Cerrado, Chaco, Mata Atlántica, and Pampa, and severely affected the economies of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
• Current efforts of the S2C2-IVIC include developing a near real-time prediction system for infectious disease outbreaks linked to recent oceanic and climate trends.
