Abstract. This paper provides a brief description of joint activities of South American researchers on prevention of human being against solar radiation overexposure. The main goal of these research projects is the standardization of the forecast and divulgation of UV and related indexes in the region. Other goals, like studies on the influence of clouds and aerosols on UV fluxes, climate change/skin cancer relation and UVI measurements on inclined surfaces, are also considered.
