COURSE: Advances in Transdisciplinary Research on Global Environmental Change in Latin America and the Caribbean

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) officially launches an open-source, online, certified course entitled "Advances in Transdisciplinary Research on Global Environmental Change in Latin America and the Caribbean." This self-paced course, developed in collaboration with the University of California, Long Beach, and the University of Calgary, is based on experiences in transdisciplinary knowledge production to address global environmental change in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The course includes a case study book featuring examples of transdisciplinary projects implemented in Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Panama, Jamaica, Mexico, Uruguay, and Colombia. The case studies are intertwined with four modules that present key concepts and tools for transdisciplinary practice: 1) Fundamental concepts of TD Research; 2) Lessons from Latin America and the Caribbean; 3) Capacity building for successful transdisciplinary research collaborations; 4) Project design and management for equitable and ethical TD practice. This training package is aimed at early- and mid-career researchers, as well as other professionals working in governments, academic institutions, and the private sector, interested in applying a transdisciplinary approach to Global Environmental Change research at the science-policy interface to promote innovative solutions to complex environmental problems.
