IAI activities plan July 2014 – June 2015

The IAI activities plan for 2014-2015 focuses on institutional restructuring, the monitoring of CRN3 projects, and the leadership of the Latin American Future Earth Network. Key initiatives include a training event in Panama, the closure of a MacArthur Foundation project on Andean biodiversity, and participation in IPBES and UNFCCC processes, including planned events for the CoP in Lima.

• The IAI is undergoing an institutional transition to a tripartite structure, which includes moving administrative operations and staff to Montevideo, making the Buenos Aires office operational, and ending operations in São José dos Campos.
• Research priorities include monitoring all CRN3 projects, finalizing reporting for the Small Grants Program, and completing a MacArthur Foundation funded project regarding climate change impacts on biodiversity in the tropical Andes.
• The IAI has been designated as the lead institution for the Latin American Future Earth Network, evolving from collaboration agreements with CONICET of Argentina, FAPESP of São Paulo State, and CONACYT of Mexico.
• Capacity building efforts include a training event in Panama from August 18-22, 2014, focused on 'Modeling Strategies and Decision-Support Tools for the Management of Complex Socio-Ecological Systems', and the management of training seed grants.
• Policy engagement involves participation in IPBES working groups and the UNFCCC SBSTA process, with two specific events planned for the UNFCCC CoP in Lima concerning environmental monitoring and the governance of global change adaptation and mitigation.
