Strengthening Regional Scientific Cooperation for Climate Knowledge Sovereignty and Resilience in the Americas and the Caribbean
Thematic event organized within the sidelines of the official sessions of the 34th Conference of the Parties of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (CoP-34).
Date: 2 June 2026

This event is jointly hosted by the Government of Colombia and the Government of Jamaica, organized in collaboration with the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (IDEAM) and the University of the West Indies (UWI), with contributions from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The event will explore opportunities to develop shared tools and collaborative infrastructures, such as regional data platforms, interoperable climate information systems, and digital climate intelligence capacities, to support climate research, risk assessment, and evidence-based decision-making across the region.
It will also examine how enhanced regional cooperation can contribute to strengthening scientific autonomy, promoting sustainable financing for climate research, and reinforcing the long-term resilience of scientific institutions and knowledge networks.
