Climate and adaptation
A more resilient society, better prepared to face the impacts of climate change.
We work to help society adapt to the effects of climate change and reduce the impact of extreme weather events on people’s daily lives. Nature-Based Solutions are powerful allies in this process.
Climate change
Challenge that requires commitment.
We are facing an unprecedented climate crisis: never before have we been exposed to such high average temperatures, and the pace of environmental changes is accelerating and intensifying. With global warming driven by human activity, the frequency and severity of extreme weather events—such as storms, floods, landslides, and droughts—are increasing. These events lead to heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, threatening numerous species and natural ecosystems.
In response to this urgent need for action, the Boticário Group Foundation is working to build a more resilient future by promoting socio-environmental benefits. Our efforts are realized through the conservation of natural areas, the protection of water sources and coastal marine zones, the generation of knowledge and engagement, and the support of innovative solutions and impactful businesses across the country.
Nature-based Solutions
Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are actions that leverage ecosystem services to deliver benefits for human well-being, while simultaneously strengthening the economy and conserving biodiversity. Therefore, we promote the adoption of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in Brazil as a means to tackle the challenges of climate change and foster a prosperous, resilient future.
We focus on protecting water sources and enhancing the resilience of coastal and marine zones, utilizing NBS strategies to:
Influence legal and regulatory instruments.
Raise awareness and engage financiers and promoters of urban infrastructure (urban planners).
Expand knowledge and engagement for NBS.
Support the development and accelerate the implementation of NBS projects.
For 91% of Brazilians, climate change is important or especially important. The survey also shows that 98% of respondents would like to have more nature in their cities.
