Minutas de la CoP XXIII

The 23rd CoP of the IAI focused on strengthening the interface between science and policy, approving the 2015-2016 operational budget and annual plan, and establishing a working group for open science. Member countries reported on national climate communications and adaptation plans, while the IAI leadership emphasized the need to move from ad hoc scientific communication to a systematic approach for decision-makers. The conference also addressed financial challenges, noting unpaid contributions from Brazil and Mexico, and discussed strategic partnerships with Future Earth and FAPESP.

• The IAI is transitioning from establishing research networks to a new phase of providing scientific information for decision-making, though it currently lacks a formal mechanism to do so and relies on ad hoc efforts.
• The CoP established a working group comprising Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the USA, and the Executive Directorate to develop a work plan for 'open science', focusing on open data, open access to publications, and public engagement.
• The operational budget for the 2015-2016 fiscal year was approved at 1,420,064 USD, representing a 4% increase in the operational budget over the previous year.
• The IAI faces significant financial arrears, with unpaid contributions totaling 1.34 million USD, specifically noting that Brazil has not paid for nearly four years and Mexico has not paid since the previous fiscal year.
• Member countries are actively updating their national climate reporting and planning; Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru are all in the process of preparing or finalizing their Third National Communications to the UNFCCC.
• The IAI's Science-Policy Liaison Advisory Committee (SPAC) aims to achieve 'social validation' of IAI science by creating national multi-sectoral groups (including health, agriculture, and energy) to interact with research projects.
