The incessant search for paradise, a myth present in the Guarani culture. This explains why, prior to the conquest, this people made long journeys and spread over a vast area of the American continent: from the Brazilian Tiet\u00e9 River in the north, to extensive territories of present-day Uruguay in the south, and from the Atlantic Ocean to southeastern Bolivia and northern Argentina. <\/p>

The Guarani were an eminently migratory people and one of the reasons for their pilgrimage was the search for a fertile and peaceful place in which to live in peace: Yvy mar\u00e4 ey, (the land without evil). A land without suffering or imperfections, which, although it was the place where the dead went, could be reached, in theory, while alive, since some privileged people managed to get there without dying. <\/p>

The desire to reach that place, where crops grow without planting them, where there is no sickness, no death and everything is peace and happiness, encouraged the Guarani nation’s displacements and made these their teko’a – way of life – which was oriented towards achieving a life without blemish, teko mar\u00e4 ey.<\/p>

This quest, however, was not an individual one, but a collective enterprise to reach the ideal together.<\/p>

In the XXI Century, our region continues in this search, today we call it sustainable development, resilience, it continues to be that place to live in peace, where life is better for our people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The urgency of climate change presents a critical challenge for the Global South, particularly Latin America and the Caribbean, which must tackle both decarbonization and the adaptation to ongoing climate impacts.<\/p>

With limited resources, weak institutions, and restricted access to technology, this transition is even more difficult.<\/p>

Ivy’s climate activism approach focuses on building transformative ecosystems by promoting knowledge sharing, policy development and stakeholder engagement.<\/p>

Ivy helps create the right conditions for a just transition that responds to the unique challenges of each region and country. The goal is not only to influence policy but also to ensure its effective implementation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As a certified non-profit entity, Ivy develops intervention projects in collaboration with the beneficiaries, bringing together dedicated and multidisciplinary teams of local experts and specialists. This collaborative approach allows Ivy to combine global public policy expertise with a deep understanding of local challenges, providing a clear competitive advantage in driving sustainable transitions.<\/p>

Ivy’s work is largely inspired by Uruguay’s success in creating a sustainable development model that integrates energy, environmental and territorial actions. The country has developed a renewable energy system that now generates 98% of its electricity from hydro, wind, solar and biomass waste, while implementing effective waste management and land use policies. <\/p>

Ivy aims to replicate this success across the Global South by leveraging advanced modeling tools and driving policy and regulatory changes that support the transition to sustainable, low-carbon development models.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
