MERI
FOUNDATION
We promote Climate Change Mitigation and Biodiversity Conservation by fostering science, environmental education, and community engagement.
CLIMATE
CHANGE
Due to its geographical characteristics, Chile is a unique Natural Laboratory in the world. This makes it possible to study the consequences of climate change and propose mitigation alternatives.
MULTIDIMENSIONAL
CONSERVATION
As climate change is a multidimensional phenomenon, effective conservation requires working on five dimensions simultaneously: environmental, social, cultural, economic, and institutional.
