PAIGH Highlights
Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Mexico, PAIGH assists member states with geographic and historical analyses of their territories from a continental perspective.
It is a decentralized intergovernmental agency with 21 member states, each of which has its own national section.
Four technical commissions are responsible for the scientific program: cartography (1941), geography (1946), history (1946), and geophysics (1969).
The Institute is currently implementing a strategic plan entitled The PAIGH 2010–2020 Pan American Agenda, aimed at furthering regional integration through multidisciplinary actions and prioritizing natural disasters and territorial organization in a climate change scenario.
