Opportunities for future research and innovation on food and nutrition security and agriculture: The InterAcademy Partnership’s global perspective : Synthesis by IAP based on the four regional academy network studies
Full text linkFor the three-year IAP project 'food and nutrition security and agriculture' funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), four parallel regional academy network working groups were constituted: in Africa (the Network of African Science Academies, NASAC), Asia (the Association of Academies and Societies of Sciences in Asia, AASSA), the Americas (the Inter-American Network of Academies of Science, IANAS) and Europe (the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council, EASAC). The academies’ experts on food and nutrition security and agriculture from the four global regions decided on 10 guiding priority questions, the responses to which from each region formed the basis of the academies’ analysis. The four regional working groups developed their advice which were then subject to academy-nominated independent peer review and endorsed by each regional academy network. The feedback to the four regional reports was used as a resource to prepare this fifth, global report under the auspices of an expert editorial group. The global report was independently peer reviewed and endorsed by IAP

Full text linkImpact of climate change on food systems: Using transdisciplinary science to drive mitigation and adaptation solutions to protect and promote health
Full text linkMP4 video, Size: 1.41GB; Duration: 1:56:42Please cite as: Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) (2022) Impact of climate change on food systems: Using transdisciplinary science to drive mitigation and adaptation solutions to protect and promote health. Available at: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11911/257A recent systems-based approach to tackling climate change and health issues, from the global InterAcademy Partnership and its regional academy networks, examined how science can guide innovation, policy and practice for climate mitigation and adaptation. Among adverse climate change effects are those mediated by multiple impacts on food production and, consequently, on health and livelihoods. Outputs from the global assessment and specifically from Africa will be presented to exemplify the diverse challenges and opportunities to identify and implement solutions, integrated between agriculture and other sectors, at all levels of governance.Adverse effects of climate change on food and nutrition security are already apparent and projected to worsen. Transformative change for sustainable food systems and nutritional quality, including climate-smart, resilient agriculture, involves improving research capacity, extension services and political commitment, aligned with SDGs. Implementing evidence-based, customised, mitigation and adaptation solutions based on advances in biological and social sciences and informatics to deliver both supply- and demand-side changes, requires engagement with all stakeholders. Other priorities discussed include reconsideration of indigenous and underutilised food contributions and examination of food processing and other steps in the food chain and circular economy.InterAcademy Partnership (IAP); Network of African Science Academies (NASAC

IAP Statement on Implications of Urbanization in Low- and- Middle- Income Countries
No full textIn recent years, urban development in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) has been the subject of serious discussion at the international level. In 2015, UN Member States adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among which SDG#11 was specifically about the sustainability of cities. In the following year, the outcome of the UN’s Habitat III conference on a ‘New Urban Agenda’ was endorsed in its entirety by the UN General Assembly. Those two international events bind all countries globally to be cognizant of and to promote these recommendations. Even earlier, in 2012, population growth coupled with unplanned urbanization was recognized as being among the most serious concerns worldwide by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP, 2012)
Lutte contre les revues et les conférences scientifiques prédatrices
Full text linkVoici le résumé d’un rapport complet préparé par InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) dans le cadre de la lutte contre les revues et les conférences scientifiques prédatrices. L’IAP est un réseau mondial de regroupant plus de 140 académies des sciences, de l’ingénierie et de la médecine qui travaillent ensemble pour soutenir le rôle de la science dans la recherche de solutions aux problèmes les plus difficiles du monde. En 2020, l’IAP a lancé une étude de deux ans intitulée Combatting Predatory Academic Journals and Conferences (Lutter contre les revues et les conférences scientifiques prédatrices), généreusement financée par la Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (GBMF), et régie par un groupe de travail international appuyé par un secrétariat professionnel. Le principal objectif de l’étude était d’identifier des interventions pratiques et efficaces pouvant freiner et aider à lutter contre la hausse inquiétante des revues et des conférences prédatrices, et de formuler des recommandations à cet effet aux communautés d’intervenants clés. Ainsi, le Groupe de travail a tiré des preuves d’une enquête unique menée auprès d’universitaires et de chercheurs du monde entier ; a recueilli des connaissances et des points de vue dans le cadre de dialogues avec des praticiens mondiaux, régionaux et nationaux issus de communautés d’intervenants clés ; et a effectué une analyse documentaire approfondie
Support for the objectives of the sustainable development of the United Nations – Guide of InterAcademy Partnership
Full text linkNa 70. Generalnoj skupštini UN-a 2015. godine usvojen je globalni program održivog razvoja čiji je cilj život na zemlji učiniti boljim i prihvatljivim za sve. Odgovornost za ostvarenje tih ciljeva do 2030. godine je na Vladi, privatnom sektoru, civilnom društvu i svakom pojedincu, a poseban naglasak je na partnerstvu unutar država i među državama. Ovaj se Vodič temelji na trogodišnjem projektu međuakademijskog partnerstva zaduženog za provođenje istraživačkih projekata (engl. InterAcademyPartnership for Research - IAP) koji je započeo 2016. godine pod nazivom „Poboljšanje znanstvenog doprinosa u kreiranju globalne politike: Strategije za ostvarenje ciljeva održivog razvoja“ (engl. Improving Scientific Input to Global Policymaking: Strategies for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals), uz financijsku potporu Carnegie Corporation iz New Yorka. Iznesena je i vizija podrške globalne mreže znanstvenih, medicinskih i tehničkih akademija (engl. InterAcademy Partnership - IAP) u provođenju ciljeva održivog razvoja.At the 70th UN General Assembly in 2015, the Global Sustainable Development Goals were adopted, whose aim is to make life on earth better and more acceptable to everyone. Responsibility for achieving these goals by 2030 is on the government, the private sector, civil society and every individual, with particular emphasis on partnership inside countries and among countries. This Guide is based on a three-year project of InterAcademy Partnership for Research (IAP for Research), which began in 2016 entitled " Improving Scientific Input to Global Policymaking: Strategies for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals“, with the financial support of the Carnegie Corporation from New York. Also described is the IAP vision of how the global network of science, medical and engineering academies (IAP) can support the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals
Co-production methodologies to deliver city-level flood resilience and reduce health inequalities in sub-Saharan Africa
No full textIAP in collaboration with Save the Children presents this book of case studies that illustrate systems solutions for climate change and health policies, to build governments’ awareness of multi-sectoral, systems-based studies and policies. The project builds on the IAP ‘Climate Change and Health’ project, as well as the Save the Children’s new strategic initiative ‘Climate and Health: Accelerating action on climate with health benefits’.
Selected case studies focus on the linkages between climate and health in four thematic areas:
- food systems and agriculture
- energy, including production, distribution, access, and efficiency
- urbanization, including urban planning
- health systems strengthening
The authors of the selected case studies took part in a workshop at the IAP headquarters in Trieste from 5-7 September 2023, where an expert committee reviewed their submissions and presentations. The case studies were then edited to make them more accessible to a broader audience, including policymakers, and peer-reviewed for publication
