Ubá Sustainability Institute Information

The Institute was created to catalyze sustainability in its broad sense, considering the environmental, economic, and social impacts of our actions. We focus on social mobilization and nature-based solutions (forest conservation - REDD+, agroforestry A/R, wetlands/mangroves, sustainable landscapes) for climate change mitigation and adaptation, social positive impact, impact investment, low carbon strategies, sustainable supply-chains, due diligence, networks facilitation and sustainable finance/results-based payments schemes/fundraising (including sales of environmental services - carbon credits -, products and social assets). Our activities are based on four pillars: advisory services, partnerships & project development, assets management & sales, and training. -- ‘Ubá’ is a Tupi-guarani word for a boat carved on a single tree trunk, and it also means ‘to move ahead’.
