Research And
Development
We develop technical studies and industry analyses that generate qualified information and serve as reference materials.
A Temporary Technical Committee (TTC) is formed whenever there is a need for further research and development in a specific subject in the environmental area, be it related to LIFE Methodology or other environmental demands from society.
Our publications are:
Technical Documents Series, Vol. II – Analysis of Environmental Legal Aspects in South America and International Environmental Treaties Ratified by Brazil
