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.

COP30: IIS to host the House of Restoration in the Blue Zone

From 10 to 21 November, COP30 will take place for the first time in the Amazon – in Belém, Pará, Brazil. This historic milestone reinforces the central role of forests in the global response to the climate crisis. This year, the IIS will host the House of Restoration, a space located in the Blue Zone dedicated to connecting science, policy and action around ecological restoration and Nature-based Solutions.

The pavilion will host panels, debates and workshops on strategic themes – from climate mitigation and adaptation to land-use planning, covering biodiversity, ecosystem services, bioeconomy, emerging technologies and artificial intelligence.

During the event, the IIS will launch an unprecedented programme designed to unlock large-scale restoration through science and technology, consolidating its role in bridging scientific knowledge and practical solutions for sustainable development.

The IIS’s presence at COP30 also marks the institution’s 15th anniversary, with a special programme throughout the event.

The House of Restoration is an initiative led by the IIS, with the support of Instituto Itaúsa and Instituto Arapyaú.

The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), known as the Climate COP, is the main international meeting dedicated to tackling climate change.

Held annually, the COP brings together government leaders, representatives of multilateral organisations, businesses, research institutions and civil society to review existing commitments and propose new targets for climate mitigation and adaptation. The Convention currently includes 198 Parties — 197 countries and the European Union.

The full agenda will soon be available on the IIS website and social media channels.
