This briefing from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Directorate reports on the implementation of Decision XXV/28, which aims to enhance the capacity of IAI research projects to communicate scientific results to stakeholders and policy makers.

This briefing from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) informs stakeholders about the outcomes of the 48th session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA-48) of the UNFCCC and the IAI's role in providing scientific information to policymakers.

The IAI Directorate has developed a long-term Communication Strategy and Plan to enhance the visibility of its scientific research and capacity-building initiatives. The strategy aims to better inform Parties, attract new donors, and bridge the gap between science and policy in the Americas, specifically supporting the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The document records the decisions and actions taken during the twenty-fifth Conference of the Parties (CoP-XXV) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held in Bogotá, Colombia, on June 13-14, 2017.

This report documents the Collaborative Research Network (CRN3) Researchers Meeting held in Cancun, Mexico, from November 29 to December 1, 2017. The meeting, organized by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) with support from Mexico and the US National Science Foundation, focused on translating scientific results into actionable policy outputs, enhancing science communication, and establishing open data principles for CRN3 projects.

This research synthesis brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute summarizes findings from the 2008–2015 Mistra-SWECIA programme regarding climate change adaptation in the Swedish forestry sector. It examines the driving forces, risks, and social barriers affecting the roughly 330,000 individual forest owners who manage about half of Sweden's forests. The document highlights the tension between scientific climate projections and the practical, often gradual, perceptions of forest owners, while also analyzing indirect global climate risks to Sweden's export-dependent forestry economy.

This social media report details the 'Science for Action' campaign conducted by the SDG Media Zone and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) during the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP-23) in Bonn, Germany, from November 6th to 17th, 2017.

This report evaluates the public engagement practices of the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and its peers to identify best practices for communicating scientific research on climate change. It combines an internal staff survey, a workshop, and a desk study of 10 peer organizations and three in-depth case studies to provide recommendations on improving research impact and institutional learning.
