SRI/SSD2024: Global Meeting on Science and Innovation in Sustainability
The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) participated in the recent Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress (SRI) and the Finnish Sustainability Science Days (SSD), held jointly as SRI/SSD2024.
Anna Stewart, Executive Director of the IAI, along with Nicole Arbour, Executive Director of the Belmont Forum, participated in the opening ceremony, sharing their expertise and vision on international cooperation and scientific innovation to address current environmental challenges.
