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 part of group that will make recommendations for the G20

The G20 is a group composed of the world’s 19 largest economies, plus the European Union, which meets annually to discuss global economic, financial, and political issues. Its discussions encompass topics such as economic growth, international trade, sustainable development, climate change, among others.

The Civil 20 (C20) is an Engagement Group of the G20 whose role is to ensure that world leaders consider civil society’s recommendations. Among its functions are:

  1. Provision of specialised knowledge;
  2. Accountability of governments for their commitments;
  3. Seeking positive outcomes for society;
  4. Promotion of effective financial means to achieve these results.

We are one of the organisations of C20 Brazil, composing Working Group (WG) 3: Environment, Climate Justice and Just Energy Transition. The WG’s activities will be intense until June 2024, culminating in the delivery of recommendations to the representatives of the member countries in July of this year.

Raísa Vieira, our sustainable development coordinator, is representing IIS in the group discussions. The work includes monthly meetings, document reading, and proposal drafting. By integrating the C20, we aim to influence G20 discussions and decisions, presenting suggestions for more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable policies.
