Abstract

This issue of the Newsletter focuses on climate change and how it affects research and policy-making. As the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) prepare for negotiations in Copenhagen, IAI contributors share their work and thoughts about how research informs decision-making and policy. Ramón Pichs-Madruga, a member of the IAI's scientific advisory committee and co-chair of IPCC’s Working Group describes the importance of regional, sub-regional and local knowledge to be adequately reflected in IPCC research findings. Other articles explore the economic, social and environmental impacts of global change. (Parallel text in English and Spanish).
