Founded in 2011, BVRio is a non-profit organisation working at the intersection of economic, environmental and social sustainability. Our mission is to design and promote innovative market-based solutions for the benefit of the economy, the environment and people.
BVRio (Bolsa Verde do Rio de Janeiro – Environmental Exchange of Rio de Janeiro) was originally created with the objective of developing market mechanisms to facilitate compliance with Brazilian environmental laws. The models and approaches developed there have now been adapted to develop market mechanisms, economic tools, and support the development and implementation of environmental initiatives and markets in different countries and regions worldwide.
Originally incorporated in Brazil, BVRio supported projects and initiatives in more than 50 countries worldwide.
Our multidisciplinary approach to supporting the green economy;
– Creating market mechanisms to increase economic efficiency and address market failures
– Developing tools and initiatives to support the use of market-based approaches and create liquidity for the mechanisms created
– Contributing to public policy and promoting legal and regulatory frameworks that are efficient and able to generate positive environmental impacts.
Climate finance tools are vital for the implementation of more efficient environmental policy for both the public sector and the business sector, generating benefits for the environment, society and the economy in general.
