DECLARATION DU PANAMA

The Panama Declaration reaffirms the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) as the key regional mechanism for coordinating scientific and socio-economic research on global change in the Americas. The Conference of the Parties highlighted IAI's role in developing regional research networks, promoting interdisciplinary cooperation across Earth, marine, atmospheric, and social sciences, and enhancing technical capacities through grants and scholarships. The document emphasizes that the scientific agenda, peer review, and international collaboration should drive IAI's programs. Member states renewed their commitment to voluntary contributions and called for non-signatory states in the Americas to join the Agreement.

• The IAI serves as a regional coordinator for scientific and socio-economic research on the causes and consequences of global change in the Americas, acting as an interface between science and decision-making processes.
• The institute promotes interdisciplinary regional cooperation covering Earth, marine, atmospheric, and environmental sciences, as well as social sciences, with a focus on impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity, and socio-economic factors related to mitigation and adaptation.
• IAI focuses on scientific themes of regional importance that cannot be achieved by individual states or institutions, utilizing a peer-review system and merit-based project selection.
• The institute improves the scientific and technical capacities of regional states through scholarship programs and grants.
• The Conference of the Parties reaffirmed the necessity of regular operational contributions and urged member states to increase financial and monetary support for IAI programs.
