Publicación: Climate Change and Biodiversity in the Tropical Andes


Auspiciado por la Fundación MarArthur, el Instituto Inter-Americano para Estudios en Cambio Global (IAI) realizó una evaluación en la interacción entre cambio climático y biodiversidad en los Andes Tropicales, asi como en las capacidades regionales para abordar tempas de investigación, mitigación y adaptación. El resultado del libro, co-producido con el Comité Científico en Problemas Ambientales (SCOPE) es la primera publicación sobre la situación actual en la región. Una versión en español imprensa estará disponible a fin de año. El libro entero asi como los capítulos individuales se encuentran disponibles en PDF en la página web de IAI y SCOPE.
