Biosuroeste is a 600-hectare living laboratory and 'agroecological lighthouse' in Southwestern Antioquia, Colombia, designed to demonstrate regenerative development. The site, returned to public ownership through land restitution, integrates nature-based tourism with two primary productive systems—an edible forest and a regenerative livestock system—to showcase scalable agroecological models for local smallholders and the wider bioregion.

This report analyzes the barriers and strategic requirements for achieving a 100% electric Major Public Transport (TPM) fleet in Greater Valparaíso by 2040. It identifies charging infrastructure and electrical grid capacity as the most critical obstacles, while confirming that electric buses can operate in the city's challenging topography if technically adapted. The document proposes a transition from an atomized operator model to a professionalized system with state-led infrastructure provision, drawing on international experiences from the Netherlands, China, Colombia, and Santiago de Chile.

The IAI report (July 2016 - May 2017) outlines progress in transdisciplinary climate research and science-policy integration in the Americas. Key achievements include the evaluation of the TISG seed grant program, the management of 17 CRN3 research networks, the launch of a climate impact MOOC with over 6,500 participants, and the establishment of a Science-Policy Liaison Office in Buenos Aires to measure scientific impact on regional governance.
