Since 2005, the IAI is an observer intergovernmental organization (IGO) at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The IAI has participated in the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) to contribute to a better understanding of the science behind climate change and to issues under discussion in the UNFCCC process.
Article 5 of the Convention on “Research and Systematic Observation” calls on UNFCCC Parties to support and develop international and intergovernmental programs and organizations aimed at defining, conducting, assessing and financing research, data collection and systematic observation. “The SBSTA shall provide advice on scientific programs, international cooperation in research and development related to climate change, as well as on ways and means of supporting endogenous capacity-building in developing countries”.
Both “Research and Systematic Observation” have regularly been on the agenda of the SBSTA since its seventeenth session.
