Agenda F20 Climate Solutions Forum 2024
Partner Hosts
The Institute for Climate and Society (iCS) is an F20 member and a philanthropic organization that supports projects and institutions that aim to strengthen the Brazilian economy and the geopolitical positioning of the country, in addition to reducing inequality by tackling climate change and providing sustainable solutions.
iCS was created in 2015, the same year as the Paris Agreement. Its function from the beginning has been to finance and catalyze the climate agenda in Brazil. The Institute embraces its mission with practical and strategic work, bringing to Brazil resources from major international funders – and raising support from Brazilian funders – to support various local agents who fight for Brazil in order to avoid the negative impacts of global warming. Much more than a financial intermediary, iCS promotes dialogue between the sectors, adds knowledge and establishes networks of information, intelligence and cooperation, aiming to achieve the well-being of the population.
Fundación Avina is a global organization that drives processes designed to change systems. Rooted in the global South, they impact the world through collaborative efforts that foster human dignity and care for the planet.
GIFE is an association of private social investors in Brazil, whether they are institutes, foundations or family funds, independent corporations or companies. Born as an informal group in 1989, GIFE – Group of Institutes, Foundations and Companies, was established as a non-profit organization in 1995. Since then, it has become a reference in the country on the topic of private social investment. The organization comprises private social investment with the voluntary transfer of private resources in a planned, monitored and systematic manner to social, environmental, cultural and scientific projects or organizations of public interest.
