The Degree Initiative is a non-governmental organization whose mission is to build the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation modification geoengineering (SRM), a controversial proposal for reducing some of the impacts of climate change by reflecting some sunlight back into space.
Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences
IANAS is a regional network of Academies of Sciences, created to support cooperation towards the strengthening of science and technology as a tool for advancing research and development, prosperity and equity in the Americas. Founded in the spirit of IAP in May 2004.
ABOUT IANAS
IANAS plays a major role in contributing to the promotion of scientific capacity and excellence for sustainable development in the Americas.
Networks are powerful instruments for sharing and rapidly disseminating information, best practices and novel ideas through a larger community. By virtue of their credibility and independence from government, academies have certain inherent advantages in addressing issues related to science, technology and health (STH), and in advancing high quality science education at the national level.
