About this grant
The Climate Policy and Institutional Framework programme is one of four strategic areas of Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS), a Brazilian climate philanthropy operating for over 11 years. In this area, iCS works alongside networks and grantee organisations to advance a Brazil equipped with effective climate policies. The programme focuses on strengthening the institutional conditions necessary for a transition to a low-carbon economy, including laws, regulations, public policies, organisational capacity, and economic and financial incentive instruments. iCS partners with civil society organisations, research institutions, and advocacy networks to promote the legal and regulatory environment that enables deep decarbonisation. The programme is part of a broader portfolio that has disbursed approximately R$780 million in grants to over 512 organisations across 1,305 grants since its founding. The programme sits alongside three other programmatic areas: Land Use, Energy/Industrial/Transport Transition, and Engagement/Change Makers/Climate Governance. Together these areas reflect iCS's mission to build a leading society capable of facing the social, economic, and political challenges of climate change, with a particular focus on Brazil's role in global climate action.
