Presentaciones a las Partes sobre los resultados del Programa de Pequeños Subsidios

The report outlines findings from several IAI Small Grants Programme projects. Key highlights include the loss of carbon retention in the Amazon due to deforestation, the identification of a complex 'water crisis' in border regions of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, and the development of predictive models for the Paraná River basin to balance hydroelectric energy needs with ecosystem services. It also emphasizes the role of co-production of knowledge and participatory governance in enhancing community adaptation to global environmental change across countries including Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay.

• Research on the Amazon forest indicates that it is retaining less carbon as a result of deforestation and changes in land use within the studied area. To address this, a virtual platform has been created to monitor and alert the population and local authorities about fire probabilities.
• In the border regions of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, research identifies a 'water crisis' characterized by multiple causes and actors. This crisis can trigger adaptive measures such as early warning systems, monitoring, and management plans, with committees of government, civil society, and users playing a key role.
• Analysis of the Paraná River basin includes a predictive model for the hydroelectric system that highlights the tension created by global environmental change between the demand for hydroelectric power generation and the maintenance of ecosystem services.
• Studies on artisanal fishing suggest that while communities possess the capacity to adapt to global change, this capacity can be increased through governance and the co-production of knowledge between scientists, decision-makers, civil society, and communities.
• Transdisciplinary research in Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay has examined successful cases of participatory governance regarding biodiversity and ecosystem services in protected areas, as well as communal conservation initiatives and private sector collaborations.
