While hiking the Himalayas, my new article "Science Diplomacy in Latin America and the Caribbean: The Convergence of Science, Policy and Diplomacy to Solve Global Challenges" was published in AAAS’ Journal Science and Diplomacy.  The article underscores the transformative potential of multilateral collaboration in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eKDuES8w. Here are some key takeaways: - LAC, with its rich biodiversity, holds strategic global importance in bioeconomy, renewable energy, and food production. Yet, low investment rates in science, technology, and innovation (STI) hinder the adoption of cutting-edge technologies in the region. - Successful initiatives in LAC necessitate a transdisciplinary, intercultural, and inclusive approach, along with investments in human capital to nurture local expertise. - Despite challenges, science diplomacy could provide an entry point for LAC economies to embrace the green and tech revolutions through accelerated investments in STI ecosystems. This collaborative article, co-authored by Marcella Ohira and Carlos Eduardo Higa Matsumoto, comes on the heels of the groundbreaking AAAS/Royal Society publication that laid the foundation for science diplomacy 15 years ago. In the face of intricate environmental and social issues in Latin America, science diplomacy emerges as a potent instrument for promoting cooperation and evidence-based policy formulation. Let's forge stronger links between science and policy to cultivate a sustainable and prosperous future for Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond! #ScienceDiplomacy #LatinAmerica #Caribbean #GlobalChallenges #Sustainability

🌊 Discover CONABIO’s SIMAR-Explorer 🛰️ The Marine-Coastal Information and Analysis System Explorer (SIMAR-Explorer) is an innovative technological development by National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO) in Mexico that uses bioinformatics geointelligence to manage environmental and biodiversity information in near real-time. With field data, satellite imagery, and environmental models, it generates Early Warning Systems to monitor coral bleaching, sargassum, red tides, and marine water quality in the Greater Caribbean and the northeastern tropical Pacific. Additionally, it provides access to essential databases such as National Biodiversity Information System of Mexico (SNIB) and Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) and monitors through the Virtual Buoy Network. This open data is crucial for making informed decisions in the conservation of marine ecosystems, supporting monitoring networks and global initiatives like the UN SDGs and the Decade of Ocean Science. 🌐 🔍 Learn more about the SIMAR Project: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gTRtEDwm 🌍 Explore and dive into the SIMAR-Explorer: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gwhtJGkH #CONABIO #Coral #CoralBleaching #ClimateChange #SatelliteData #EarthObservation #remotesensing
