The Equatorial Institute, responsible for social actions in the territories served by the Equatorial Energy Group, launched on November 18, 2025, at 2 PM (Brasília time), the second edition of the Equatorial Dialogues Announcement, which this time will reach the public with a total investment of R$ 4 million. This amount, according to Janaina Ali, sustainability executive of the Institute, represents a significant advancement compared to the R$ 3 million invested in the previous edition. With this, the Institute reinforces its commitment to community projects developed in the states of Maranhão, Pará, Piauí, Alagoas, Amapá, Goiás and 72 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, expanding territorial reach and strengthening social impact.

Moreover, and equally important, the announcement is open exclusively to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) that have, demonstrably, at least two years of establishment and formal operation, ensuring that only entities with validated trajectories can participate. Additionally, projects aligned with creative economy and territorial actions will receive extra points, encouraging initiatives that directly engage with the cultural and economic identity of each region.

Applications are open from November 18 to December 18, 2025, and can be made through the link available in the bio of the official profile @institutoequatorial on Instagram or via the social investor platform. All rules, criteria, and guidelines are detailed in the announcement itself.

In this way, the Institute reaffirms its ethical and transparent operations.

The Equatorial Institute has already allocated R$ 34 million directly to communities since its inception, and therefore continues to expand partnerships, active listening, and social collaboration, always focused on reducing inequalities and strengthening lasting community initiatives.

Institutional Mission

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

System created to save lives in disasters turned ‘against’ Brazilians overnight: a hacker attack sent out a false alert from Civil Defense with the word “misantropia” that went off on the phones of half the country, even in silent mode, and took down the Cell Broadcast.

NASA captured by satellite an underwater volcano erupting in the Bismarck Sea, in the Pacific, and now scientists are waiting to see if a new island will be born there in front of the cameras, a very rare phenomenon to witness live from space.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

For the first time in history, solar and wind energy generated more electricity than natural gas worldwide in a single month, April 2026, a milestone in the energy transition that shows renewable sources taking the lead in the global electric system.
