EARTH INNOVATION INSTITUTE
PARTNERSHIP
Mercuria is proud to be partnering with The
Earth Innovation Institute (EII). The EII helps
states and provinces in tropical forest regions
to shift to low-emission, nature-positive,
socially-inclusive development. EII adopts a
comprehensive, long-term strategy to achieve
this goal, focusing on the idea that increasing
awareness across different sectors within
states or provinces about the benefits of this
shift can stimulate the necessary collective

EII’s global team of 35 experts in rural
development, carbon markets, geospatial
analysis and public policy has helped fifteen
states and provinces in Brazil, Colombia,
Indonesia and Peru begin their transitions to
climate- and nature-friendly development. EII

design of low-emission development plans and
investment strategies.
EII, incorporated as a non-profit charity in
