This report details the progress of Project RLA/92/G34, an initiative by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) supported by UNDP, GEF, and WMO to investigate global change in member countries. It covers training in GIS and meteorological data processing, equipment upgrades, the establishment of experimental network nodes, and a specific proposal for a CO2 observational network in the Amazon Basin to study carbon fluxes and the impact of land-use change.

This guide describes the Geographic Mapping screen in LEAP, which allows users to create named lists of raster-based GIS data sets to allocate emissions to grid squares for visualization in interactive maps.

This research paper by Dr. Paul B. Siegel proposes a "no-regrets" approach to climate change adaptation by integrating disaster risk management (DRM), climate change adaptation (CCA), and social protection (SP) through spatially enabled governance. The author argues that development agencies should support the creation of adaptive social protection systems that are globally guaranteed, nationally managed, and locally administered, utilizing GIS and spatial data infrastructure to build resilience among the poor and vulnerable.
