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.

Video: discussion panel “Ambitious and synergistic goals for COPs decisions on Climate (COP27) and Biodiversity (COP15)”

The discussion panel “Ambitious and synergistic goals for COPs decisions on Climate (COP27) and Biodiversity (COP15)” was held on January 26, 2023, as part of the Trade, Development & the Environment – UKRI GCRF TRADE Hub Brazil event. The talks were in Portuguese, with simultaneous translation into English.

Specialists such as Marcello Boggio (FAO), Gustavo Mañez Gomis (UNEP), and Bráulio Dias (UnB) presented the opportunities and challenges discussed in both United Nations Conferences. Matheus Couto (UNEP-WCMC) pointed out multilateral initiatives to face the global challenges in both areas, and Rafael Loyola (IIS) presented a summary of recommendations for conservation actions and restoration of ecosystems to achieve ambitious and synergistic goals.

The event was organized by the International Institute for Sustainability (IIS) in partnership with the World Conservation Monitoring Center of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP-WCMC), Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning (Cebrap), Instituto de Manejo and Forestry and Agricultural Certification (Imaflora), and WWF-Brazil. There were also speakers from the University of Brasília (UnB), the United Nations Program for the Environment in Brazil (PNUMA), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Brazil (FAO).
