Grants to this Grantee
for developing a fundraising strategy and data management plan  
With this proposed Organizational Effectiveness grant, The Instituto de Energia e Meio Ambiente in Brazil, aims to strengthen one of their main programs: air quality management and data. The grant will support the work on fundraising for improving air quality strategies in main cities in Brazil and will provide support for developing an open data platform on air quality, which will benefit other organizations and the field in the country.
for improving urban mobility policies and air quality management in large Brazilian cities  
The Institute for Energy and Environment (IEMA) is the leading Brazilian organization in promoting sustainable transportation policies. IEMA’s transportation program focuses in two areas: urban mobility policies and air quality management. In mobility, given the fact that motorization in Brazilian cities is increasing rapidly as income rises, in the next two years IEMA will help municipalities to reduce individual motorized trips, improve transit systems and transit-oriented development, and implement parking reforms. A main expected result is the formal adoption by Sao Paulo of a low-carbon mobility policy aimed at reducing congestion, emissions, and criteria pollutants to levels recommended by the World Heath Organization.
for improving air quality and mitigating climate change in large Brazilian cities  
The Institute for Energy and Environment (IEMA) is the leading Brazilian organization in promoting transportation public policies. IEMA would implement a transportation strategy focusing on improving air quality and mitigating climate change by reducing emissions from vehicles in key cities. Some of the expected results from this grant are: (1) that the city of Belo Horizonte implements its municipal mobility plan, becoming the first city in implementing the National Mobility Law, and serving as a model for other cities (2) the Ministry of Cities includes performance criteria, such as emission reductions, into its technical and funding requirements to develop urban mobility plans and infrastructure projects.
