Training Institutes on Interdisciplinary Global Environmental Change Sciences in the Americas

这是一项在美洲举办一系列为期两周的跨学科全球变化科学研究会的提议（每年两次）。拟议的研究所致力于发展和加强当地和区域人员处理全球环境变化问题及其对美洲社会经济影响的能力。这些研究所将全面了解推动全球变化的物理过程以及这些变化对美洲国家和次区域的社会经济后果。参与者将是职业生涯早期到中期的科学家和专业人士，特别是政策制定者和决策者。 IAI 的科学议程通过促进自然科学家和社会科学家之间的多学科研究和交流来支持。对 IAI 学院的这种支持履行了美国政府对培训机构计划的承诺，正如美国代表团在 2003 年 6 月在科罗拉多州博尔德举行的 IAI 缔约方大会 (CoP) 第十次会议上所提出的，并在 2004 年 6 月在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯举行的第十一届缔约方大会上再次确认。美国政府正式接受了《建立美洲国家间培训学院协议》 1992年5月13日，总统科学顾问在乌拉圭蒙得维的亚举行的建立美洲全球变化研究所会议上签署了《建立美洲全球变化研究所协议》后，于1993年1月12日将其作为执行协议。原始文件和美国接受书交存于美洲国家组织总秘书处。

This is a proposal to hold a series of two-week Institutes on Interdisciplinary Global Change Science in the Americas (two every year). The proposed Institutes contribute to the development and strengthen the local and regional human capacity to deal with global environmental change issues and their socioeconomic impacts in the Americas. The Institutes will provide a comprehensive view of the physical processes driving global change and the socioeconomic consequences of these changes in the countries and sub-regions of the Americas. The participants will be early- to mid-career scientists and professionals, particularly policy and decision-makers. The IAI's science agenda is supported by fostering multidisciplinary research and communication between natural and social scientists. This support for IAI Institutes fulfills the U.S. Government commitment to the Training Institutes program, as offered by the U.S. delegations to the Tenth Meeting of the IAI Conference of the Parties (CoP), held in Boulder, Colorado in June of 2003, and reconfirmed at the Eleventh CoP Meeting, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in June 2004. The U.S. Government formally accepted the "Agreement Establishing the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research" on January 12, 1993 as an Executive Agreement, after the President's Science Advisor signed the Agreement at the Conference to Establish an Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, held in Montevideo, Uruguay, on May 13, 1992. The original document and the U.S. Instrument of Acceptance are deposited with the General Secretariat to the Organization of American States.
