Systems For Climate Resilience

What is climate resilience?

It means building, now, the systems that let a territory get through what is already happening. Not forecasting: infrastructure.

The bill is already being paid

Every year without adaptation, territories pay in houses, harvests, health and lives. The question is no longer whether the cost will come. It is who absorbs it, and whether anything was built before it arrived.

Floods, drought, fire and wind are not separate emergencies. They hit the same territories, expose the same gaps in infrastructure and are answered, almost always, after the damage is done.

Prevention is not an expense. Across 320 adaptation projects in 12 countries, including Brazil, every dollar invested returned more than ten in economic, social and environmental benefits over a decade.

How do we survive?

Surviving the climate crisis is no longer a matter of avoiding it. It is a matter of infrastructure. We build three, and a territory can enter through any of them.

Action & Adaptation in Territories

01

Mutirão

Action & Adaptation in Territories

We put climate knowledge into practice through community mobilization, training and the exchange of solutions with communities, and we turn what works into protocols others can replicate.

  • Community mobilization
  • Territorial assessment
  • Training
  • Hands-on workshops
  • Repository of replicable solutions
+12editions
+10territories
+2,000people mobilized

Digital Infrastructure for Risk Anticipation

Território

Digital Infrastructure for Risk Anticipation

We connect data, artificial intelligence and climate modeling to build tools that read risk and support decisions and responses to extreme events.

  • Georeferenced data
  • Vulnerability, actors and solutions mapping
  • Stories through text, audio and images
  • Emergency and response tools
+60solutions mapped
+10technical presentations
+6taxonomies in development

Como Sobreviver

Climate Realism Narratives

We create, distribute and transform real experiences of the climate crisis into stories that bring climate closer to everyday life.

  • Documentary series
  • Climate resilience story bank
  • Remixable audiovisual content
  • Training and mobilization of artists
+30interviews
4Latam countries documented
+10territories filmed

Climate resilience is built through networks

These are the organizations that build with Visão Coop: funders, accelerators and institutions that back climate resilience where it is hardest to build.

  • COP30 Brasil Amazônia
  • RESPOND Accelerator, BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt
  • UK Brazil Tech Hub
  • BNDES
  • Centre for Exponential Change

Do you already know what your system needs to face climate change?

In one conversation we give you a first reading of which infrastructures can expand the reach of what your territory or portfolio already does.
