Institute for Climate and Sociedade (iCS)
Institute for Climate and Sociedade (iCS) is a philanthropic organization created in 2015, the same year as the Paris Agreement.

It mainly supports projects and institutions that aim to strengthen the Brazilian economy and geopolitical positioning of the country, in addition to reducing inequality by tackling climate change and providing sustainable solutions.
