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'.
