This fact sheet describes the ADAPTE project, which uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze how the interaction of extreme temperatures and air pollution increases health risks and mortality in large Latin American cities.

The report documents the eleventh meeting of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), held April 19-20, 1999, in Lima, Peru. The meeting focused on the management of the Collaborative Research Network (CRN) and Initial Science Program (ISP), the implementation of the Program to Expand the Scientific Capacity in the Americas (PESCA), and the development of communication strategies and international collaborations with organizations such as VAMOS and LOICZ.

The report details the proceedings of the 11th Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) meeting of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held in Lima, Peru, on April 19-20, 1999. The meeting focused on updating the status of research programs, addressing institutional conflicts of interest, and planning future scientific collaborations and training initiatives.

This policy brief analyzes land surface temperature (LST) trends in the central Andean region of Peru from 2000 to 2017 using MODIS satellite data. The study identifies a significant altitude-dependent warming trend, where higher elevations experience more intense temperature increases, posing risks to water supply and high-mountain ecosystems.

The 2011 IAI Science Report details the achievements of four scientific programs between May 2010 and April 2011, focusing on the Second Collaborative Research Network (CRNII), the Small Grants Program for the Human Dimensions (SGP-HD), and an IDRC-funded project on the La Plata Basin. The report emphasizes the integration of natural and social sciences to inform policy and the development of scientific capacity across the Americas, resulting in 343 joint scientific publications by April 2011.

The IAI Directorate Report for July 2014 - May 2015 details the institute's efforts to integrate science and policy, manage collaborative research networks, and expand capacity building across the Americas. Key activities include the 'Lima 2014 Declaration on Biodiversity and Climate Change', the establishment of the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC), and the management of the CRN3 and SGP-CRA research programs.

A briefing from the Chair and members of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Science Advisory Committee (SAC) requesting the Conference of the Parties (CoP) to nominate two scientists to fill vacancies occurring in June 2015.

This fact sheet describes Peru's participation in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) SNAP initiative to develop national planning for the mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). It outlines the establishment of institutional frameworks, the use of technical toolkits for emission inventories and cost-benefit analysis, and specific sectoral actions targeting diesel vehicles, cookstoves, and brick production to improve air quality and public health.
