The IAI and NCAR (National Corporation for Atmospheric Research) organized the “Colloquia on Knowledge Integration at the Science-Policy Interface”. The Colloquia were funded by the IAI with resources from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) through the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). Hosts and co-organizers were the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources of the Dominican Republic, the National University Pedro Henríquez Ureña, the Ministry of the Environment of Ecuador and the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador.
Two Colloquia were held in 2012 and 2013, the first in the Dominican Republic and the second in Ecuador. Participants were guided to integrate knowledge, data and methods from different scientific disciplines for the understanding of
a) risk and vulnerability to environmental change; and
b) the institutional factors that influence the range, feasibility, effectiveness, legitimacy and fairness of risk management and adaptation responses.
Description
An understanding of the potential impacts of global change requires a melding of social and physical sciences. It demands not only policy decisions informed by robust scientific knowledge, but also an understanding of the institutional factors shaping policy responses.
The colloquia aimed at training current and future decision-makers in the integration of social and physical knowledge at the science-policy interface.
