This executive summary details a study on the institutional capacity to respond to climate change impacts on water resources and agriculture across three Andean river basins in Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile. The research identifies significant gaps in adaptive capacity, particularly for vulnerable populations, and suggests policy interventions to mitigate climate and water stresses.

This report by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research examines the challenges of managing scientific information on climate change and biodiversity conservation in the Andean region. It argues that a gap exists between scientific data and political decision-making, proposing the implementation of National Environmental Information Systems and the integration of traditional local knowledge to improve climate adaptation and sustainable development.

This report by Ángela M. Suárez-Mayorga examines the availability, management, and utility of biodiversity information in the Andean countries. It argues that while significant biodiversity data exists and is managed through various national and regional systems, it is often inaccessible or insufficiently standardized to support critical environmental policy and climate change decision-making.
