Biodiversity Conservation

We work with the objective of contributing to the biodiversity conservation in environmental, social and economic aspects.

Climate change

We support decision makers in the climate agenda focused on ecosystem conservation and restoration projects and biodiversity.

Ecosystem restoration

The approaches developed by IIS aim to assist the planning and implementation of vegetation recovery projects, exploring synergies and trade-offs between biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and costs, under a variety of scenarios.

Sustainable development

We seek to promote the transition to sustainability, contributing to the balance between socioeconomic development, biodiversity conservation and rational use of natural resources.

Sustainable Land Use

We promote the transition from the traditional agricultural practices to a more sustainable land management, helping to mitigate climate change and guaranteeing the future of the next generations.

Economic Analysis

We seek to strengthen and defend the basic principles of balance between the economy and the environment, favoring research, planning and management in public and private fields, linked to the relationship between ecological, social and economic systems, in order to improve social well-being.

Policies

We assist in the formulation of policies aimed at sustainability, as well as the implementation of practical actions, working in partnership with public sector bodies and other organizations.

Spatial intelligence

Through landscape modeling and monitoring, we identify the patterns and trends of social and ecological systems, supporting decision makers through quantitative statistics and mapped scenarios.

IIS is now a member of the Climate Observatory

We are delighted to announce that we are now part of the Climate Observatory (OC, in Portuguese). The OC is a network of around 120 Brazilian civil society organisations, united to discuss and tackle the issue of climate change in the national context. 

The group operates through four main initiatives: 

  1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals Estimation System (SEEG): A platform for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Brazil, providing essential data since 1970 for climate decisions and actions. It is the primary GHG database in Latin America and one of the largest in the world. 
  1. Climate and Ocean Working Group (WG): This WG addresses the interdependence between climate and the oceans, focusing on topics such as oil and gas exploration and climate change adaptation. The goal is to produce information that supports political and practical actions. 
  1. Gender and Climate Working Group (WG): Integrating gender and climate agendas, recognising that climate change affects different social groups unequally. The group works on capacity building, technical production, and articulation to combat gender, racial, and class inequalities 
  1. Fakebook.eco: A platform created to demystify environmental myths and verify statements about the environment, promoting reliable information. Its aim is to combine the rigour of investigative journalism with the most robust scientific evidence available. 

Our researchers Stella Manes and Bruna Pavani will represent us in the network. Participating in the OC is essential to strengthen our commitment to collaborative, evidence-based climate action. This partnership allows us to contribute to collective technical production and increases our influence on public policies. Additionally, it reinforces our proposal to integrate science, community knowledge, and pragmatic actions to effectively and inclusively address the climate crisis. 

By joining forces with other organisations, we expand our impact and promote the exchange of knowledge in favour of comprehensive and innovative solutions to tackle climate change.
