How We Work

We develop our projects with different stakeholders including local communities, governments, NGOs, and international organizations to achieve societal challenges in Latin America.

Collaborate

Approach

Our purpose is to get insights on already identified necessities from the Latin American organizations and help to solve them with assets, technology and education from Germany. The German green-investment-infrastructure is very well developed, but is often not unreachable for the Latin American organizations because of a lack of knowledge on the options, a lack of a partner on the German side (us), and the German language barrier.  

"Nature is the domain of liberty"

“Humboldt said, because nature’s balance was created by diversity which might in turn be taken as a blueprint for political and moral truth. Everything, from the most unassuming moss or insect to elephants or towering oak trees, had its role, and together they made the whole. Humankind was just one small part. Nature itself was a republic of freedom.”
― Andrea Wulf, The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World

Mission

Our mission is to build strong partnerships between Europe and Latin America and between local communities, government, and scientists to overcome societal challenges in Latin America. gaia-liNc empowers these societies to sustainably use natural resources for the well-being of nature and communities.

Our Projects Scopes

Our project scopes are divided into four main categories based on our area of work and expertise. 

Mitigation

These projects deal with the amount of CO2 stored or mitigated in ecosystems, including the following: biodiversity benefits, life cycle assessments, waste management, ecosystem restoration, protected areas management, low-emission transport, energy efficiency in cities and industries, and sustainable land use management, etc.

Cultural

Here we find educational and/or academic projects which includes knowledge transfer through scientific research, handbooks, conferences, events, webinars. This contributes also with promoting environmental education and comunication to different stakeholders.

Adaptation

Adaptation projects address the number of people with reduced vulnerability to climate change. This includes topics such as ecosystem-based adaptation, ecosystem services, nature's contribution to people, water security, food security and accessibility, green infrastructure, climate-related hazards, and enhance livelihoods

Transdisciplinary and Cross Sectorial

Lastly, we consider projects with characteristics of the previous categories, therefore, these projects combines adaptation, mitigation and cultural aspects.
