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.

Specialist in industrial scale clean energy production in Poland came to Rio de Janeiro to talk about his experience

On March 27 and 28, Mr. Jan Gladki spoke at IIS head office and at PUC-Rio, organized by CSRio. The theme of the lecture was “Biochar for clean energy and more sustainable agriculture: an experience of Poland”.

Jan Gladki is the founder of the first facility in Poland to produce clean energy on an industrial scale through a process called flash pyrolysis of organic waste. By this process biochar is produced as a by-product and is subsequently used for various purposes such as agriculture, horticulture, polluted areas remediation and construction. The lecture also showed the collaboration between industry and academia, and the implications of this collaboration in practice

In terms of collaborations, Jan Gladki has a scientific partnership with Agnieszka Latawiec, IIS Executive Director and CSRio Coordinator.
