World Resources Institute is a global research organization that spans more than 50 countries with offices in Brazil, China, Europe, India, Indonesia and the United States. Created in 1982 as a science and evidence-based organization, the institute envisions an equitable and prosperous planet driven by the wise management of natural resources.
The institute’s more than 450 experts and staff conduct research and draw on the latest technology to develop insights and recommendations. They use research to influence government policies, business strategies and civil society action, and test projects with communities, companies, and government agencies to build a strong evidence base. They work with partners to deliver change on the ground that alleviates poverty and strengthens society.
The institute’s work is organization around six areas: climate, energy, food, forests, water and cities and transport. It analyzes and designs solutions within these areas through the lenses of its three centers. The Governance Center works to empower people and support institutions to foster socially equitable and environmentally sound decision-making. The Business Center harnesses the private sector to spur action and innovation in support of sustainable development outcomes. The Finance Center aims to mobilize and shift investments toward sustainable development—particularly in developing nations.
