Areas of Intervention
The areas of intervention of the International Centre for Sustainable Development Initiative define the fields in which the Centre may operate, in accordance with its statutes, priorities, capacities and applicable legal and institutional frameworks
Ecological Transition
It encompasses initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impacts and supporting the adaptation of territories, organizations and economic systems to contemporary ecological challenges.
Within this framework, CIIDD may in particular engage in:
issues related to climate change mitigation and adaptation;
energy transition frameworks, including renewable energy;
responsible management of natural resources and environmental sobriety;
the structuring of strategies, analyses and action frameworks related to ecological transition.
CIIDD’s interventions in this area are based on a structured and analytical approach, taking into account identified regulatory, institutional, technical and territorial constraints.
Inclusive Economy
The inclusive economy represents a central area of intervention for CIIDD.
It seeks to reconcile economic viability, social utility and environmental sustainability, while taking into account territorial dynamics, local capacities and existing frameworks.
This area may notably include:
circular economy and sustainable resource management;
green and impact-driven entrepreneurship;
sustainable agriculture and responsible food systems;
sustainable tourism and responsible economic activities;
economic models fostering inclusion, employment and local resilience.
Sustainable innovations constitute a transversal area of intervention for CIIDD, mobilized as a lever supporting ecological, economic and social transitions.
This area may cover:
social and organizational innovation;
technological and digital innovation, including decision-support tools;
methodological and institutional innovation;
experimental or pilot initiatives contributing to sustainable development.
Initiatives under this area are developed within controlled frameworks, based on prior assessment of needs, risks and feasibility conditions. Sustainable innovation is considered a means, not an end in itself.
