We support and accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy and a resilient society.
Get StartedAreas of Work
Sustainable Economy
To establish local economies that are viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible, participation is required from all sectors of the community. Citizen engagement is key to determine community needs, and to identify and implement innovative and appropriate solutions for economies to grow on a sustainable basis.
On the production side of goods and services, our areas of work are: Climate change and environment, social responsibility, circular economy, green financial products and sustainable exports (Visit our initiative for trade and sustainability: LAC Footprint Initiative).
From a consumer point of view we create ideas and propose visionary sustainability and internationalization plans of action for companies to incite citizens to select their products and thus facilitate responsible consumption choices; we also work on promoting consumer information and sustainable and responsible communication for national and international markets.
Our areas of work are put into practice through our approach and specific services.
Resilient Society
Resilience happens when individuals, communities and businesses have the capacity to survive, adapt, and grow. These systems within society withstand no matter what kind of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience.
Chronic stresses weaken the fabric of a city on a daily or cyclical basis; these include unemployment, inefficient public transportation, endemic violence and chronic food/water shortages. Acute shocks are sudden sharp events that threaten a city; earthquakes, floods and disease outbreaks. As citizens, we are part of one or more systems.
In CICOMER, we are social experts who understand the needs for social and environmental resilience. Through our well-established network, we have the ability to organize, coordinate and work efficiently with other members of society and organizations, in projects that foster collective action for resilience.
