World Resources Institute (WRI)

The World Resources Institute is a global research organization that works to improve people’s lives, protect nature, and stabilize the climate. WRI focuses on turning data, analysis, and evidence into practical policy and business solutions across climate change, energy systems, forests, food, water, cities, and finance. It is widely known for developing influential tools such as Global Forest Watch, which uses satellite data to monitor deforestation in near real time. WRI collaborates with governments, companies, financial institutions, and civil society to support net-zero pathways, sustainable land use, and climate-resilient development, with a strong emphasis on transparency, accountability, and science-based decision-making.
