This research paper describes the Clipore program, a large-scale research initiative funded by Mistra that operated from 2004 to 2011 to support international climate policy development.

The Report of the Director and Scientific Officer of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) details administrative restructuring, the evolution of scientific programs (CRN I and II), and expanded institutional partnerships to increase the institute's impact on regional global change and adaptation research.

The Report of the IAI Directorate, presented in May 2005, outlines the activities of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research from July 2004 to May 2005. It emphasizes a strategic shift toward 'regional relevance' by bridging the gap between scientific research and policy-making, while detailing administrative updates, the transition to a second round of Collaborative Research Networks (CRN-II), and the implementation of training institutes in Mexico and Costa Rica.

This report documents the first decade of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), covering its institutional development, scientific agenda, and research programs from 1992 to 2002. It details the transition from a conceptual phase to an operational entity, the establishment of its headquarters in Brazil, and the implementation of various grant programs and cooperative research networks aimed at understanding environmental changes across the Americas.

This report details the proceedings of the 20th meeting of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), held in Ottawa, Canada, on April 1-2, 2004. The document outlines updates on the Small Grants Program (SGP) and Capacity Research Networks (CRN), proposes methods for synthesizing CRN I results, and expresses urgent concern regarding the stability of the Institute's scientific programs.

The June 2016 report from the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) to the Conference of the Parties (CoP) outlines recommendations for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) to better address regional crises in the Americas through integrated natural and social science research, restructured funding calls, and improved data infrastructure.

This report documents the proceedings of the ninth meeting of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held in Santiago, Chile, from April 14 to 16, 1998. The meeting focused on updating the IAI's scientific agenda, reviewing current research programs, planning future workshops, and discussing collaborations with international bodies like the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP).

This briefing from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) argues that current funding levels are insufficient to support a significant number of high-quality, scientifically excellent research proposals submitted for global change research in the region. The document details three primary funding programs established since 1995 and lists 23 specific proposals scored as "good" to "very good" or higher that remain unfunded.
