A unique window into science diplomacy projects in the region
7 February 2023
As more STeP fellows from the region of the Americas continue to join the IAI’s capacity building program, our community is gaining valuable insight on context-relevant knowledge, tools, and practical skills to tackle transboundary issues of global environmental change (GEC).
On February 27, 2023, STeP fellows will be presenting on a selection of their hands-on projects related to GEC from the unique angle of science diplomacy. The STeP Science Diplomacy Project Forum is the culmination of the training program for the current 45 STeP fellows from eight countries in the region who worked through 2022 in multidisciplinary teams.
From conservation, to circular economy, microplastic pollution and green infrastructure, the projects that STeP fellows from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru and USA will discuss include unique assessments, strategies and actions related to GEC challenges.
Join us on 27 February (12:00-14:30 ET/14:00-16:30 UYT) to learn from our STeP fellows!
