Abstract
Policy highlights
The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) assessed policy priorities related to global environmental change (GEC) of policymakers and researchers in 17 countries of the Americas.
Addressing GEC challenges requires science-policy interfaces with multi-directional interactions among social actors and multiple scales of intervention so that policy actions match the scale and complexity of GEC challenges.
Science diplomacy emerges as a pivotal strategy to foster collaboration across sectors and seize policymakers’ growing interest in transboundary and international cooperation.
Creating incentives for developing and practicing transdisciplinary science is essential to overcoming the lack of communication between technical and non-technical audiences.
Considering the growing severity of GEC challenges and the limited capacity of national and inter-governmental organizations, assessments of GEC policy priorities become essential to aligning scientific knowledge demand and supply and fostering regional cooperation.
