Earth Innovation Institute

Eii's work in peru is focused on the regional governments of loreto, san martin, and ucayali, although eii also provides support to the governments of other amazon jurisdictions including amazonas, hunuco, piura and madre de dios. This work has supported each regional government to develop their low-emission rural development strategies in colombia, eii's work is focused on the departments of caquet andand has also contributed to the creation and work of the "public-private coalition for low-emission rural development of the peruvian amazon."

In colombia, eii's work is focused on the departments of caquet and meta, supporting both jurisdictions to develop low-emission development strategies and implementing pilot initiatives in smallholder communities. In all other regional programs, eii uses a similar approach to support the transitions of entire jurisdictions to a pathway of sustainable, low-emission rural development. This approach includes the establishment of jurisdiction-wide goals that are understood and supported by key sectors, a system for monitoring and reporting on progress towards those goals, and incentive systems for driving progress towards these goals. Eii works with jurisdictions on the implementation plan to manage these transitions and provides technical assistance to translate carbon emissions reductions into credits that can be sold. Eii does not engage in the commercialization of these credits.
