OCTAVA REUNION DE LA CONFERENCIA DE LAS PARTES (CoP)

The Eighth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) reaffirmed the institute's role as a regional leader in coordinating scientific research on global change in the Americas. The meeting resulted in eight resolutions covering the institute's strategic direction, the approval of a selection process for the Executive Director, the establishment of an external evaluation committee, and the approval of financial statements, budgets, and scientific grant guidelines for the 2001/2002 period.

• The Conference reaffirmed the IAI as the primary regional mechanism for scientific and educational cooperation regarding global change, focusing on the design and implementation of regional strategies for assessment, mitigation, and adaptation to reduce vulnerability and increase recovery capacity.
• The IAI promotes interdisciplinary research across Earth, sea, atmospheric, and environmental sciences, as well as social sciences, with a specific focus on impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems, and socioeconomics, and the technologies used for mitigation and adaptation.
• The Conference established that the scientific agenda must drive the development of IAI research networks, emphasizing a peer-review system based on merit and the open exchange of scientific information.
• The CoP approved several administrative and financial measures, including the selection process for the Executive Director, the 2001/2002 basic budget and annual program, the 1999/2000 financial statements and audit report, and the General Guidelines for the IAI Scientific Grants Program – Stage II.
• An external evaluation committee was approved with a mandate to begin its evaluation in August 2001 and complete its report and recommendations within one year.
