What does WRI mean in CLIMATE

World Resources Institute (WRI) is an independent, global research non-profit organization that works to turn big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. Our teams in over 50 countries work with leaders to drive policy and market changes that protect the environment and improve people's lives.

WRI works with governments, businesses, and civil society to empower decision makers to make bold commitments, craft smart policies, and design high-impact projects that sustain nature and boost prosperity. We focus on six urgent global issues: climate, clean energy, food, forests, water and sustainable cities & transportation.

Through these six initiatives we have taken part in projects such as improving sustainable urban development by reducing congestion in cities around the world; advancing renewable energy; halting deforestation through improved monitoring systems; promoting sustainable agriculture practices; increasing transparency in water resource management and usage; creating better governance practices for natural resources; identifying solutions for ocean health; enhancing investor confidence for sustainability investments; protecting ecosystems by monitoring illegal activity such as poaching.

To achieve our goal of a just world where people can prosper within the boundaries of our planet's resources, we are working to ensure good governance of natural resources while fostering inclusive economic growth. To promote social progress to communities everywhere our team focuses on providing access to key services like clean water and electricity; strengthening local capacity building programs that promote self-sufficiency; supporting smallholder farmers in using sustainable agricultural practices; developing innovative financing mechanisms that support conservation efforts; employing new technologies such as satellite imagery or digitization for enhanced forest monitoring for better protection from illegal activities such as logging or mining.
