The Center for Integrated Studies on Climate Change and the Environment is a scientific reasearch center created by the Ministry of Environment and COPPE - Institute for Research and Postgraduate Studies in Engineering of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ in order to generate and disseminate knowledge, strengthening national capacities in the field of Climate Change and the Environment. Projects and Scientific Studies are, on this site, divided in two major areas of studies: --> Mitigation: Mitigation Projects, Clean Development Mechanism Studies an Projects, Studies on Mitigation Scenarios and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories --> Adaptation, Impacts and Vulnerability

Mitigation on Climate Change
>>> Mitigation Projects	>>> Mitigation Scenarios and GHG Inventories
SouthSouthNorth 2 - Mitigation Programme Develop at least five community based projects in developing countries, with at least three in Southern Africa, to reduce poverty whilst achieving global greenhouse gas emission reductions following a best practice no regrets approach to climate change mitigation.

>>> Clean Development Mechanism Projects	Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions - City of Rio de Janeiro Brazil
SouthSouthNorth 1 - Clean Development Mechanism Project Development, facilitation and implementation of 8 Clean Development Mechanism Projects in 4 countries of the South
Criteria and Indicators for Appraising Clean Development Mechanism Projects by Steve Thorne and Prof. Emilio Lèbre La Rovere	Development & Climate Identify development paths and actions linked to positive climate outcomes.
