Governments and intergovernmental organizations invest in scientific research to generate crucial knowledge and tools to address global environmental change (GEC). However, policy decisions related to GEC often lack a foundation in scientific evidence, and GEC research frequently overlooks policy-relevant questions. This misalignment creates a significant science-policy gap. To tackle this issue, the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) conducted an assessment of GEC policy priorities among researchers and policymakers across 17 countries in the Americas. This comprehensive evaluation included survey consultations, listening sessions, and policy document analysis. Link to this #openaccess paper: https://lnkd.in/dfv8QwHZ Matias Mastrangelo, Anna M.

Last month in Finland, the Transdisciplinary Coordination Workshop brought together representatives from the Belmont Forum, the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), independent consultants and GDN! Our mission? To tackle the challenges of coordinating transdisciplinary (TD) research programs. 🤝 Facilitated by Inclusive Innovation and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the workshop aimed to develop a visionary funding proposal for TD research. Participants shared their experiences and insights to improve coordination practices and develop innovative funding mechanisms. 💬 By engaging in such high-level discussions and contributing to the development of best practices in TD research, GDN aims to strengthen its role in promoting impactful and inclusive research.
