About us
The world faces multiple, simultaneous crises. Widening inequality and economic turmoil threaten communities around the globe. Biodiversity is declining. The impacts of climate change — from extreme heat to destructive floods — are becoming ever-more threatening. While the transition to a better future has begun, it’s not yet happening at the speed and scale necessary. What the world needs is a great transition. And WRI has the research, partnerships and global reach to help get it right. We envision a new era in which the world can meet people’s needs while curbing climate change and protecting nature. We see a future where everyone can enjoy clean air, walkable cities, vibrant landscapes, nutritious food and affordable energy. Ecosystems are thriving. The climate is stable. We start with rigorous research, work with partners to apply evidence-based approaches globally and in focus countries, and broadly share lessons learned to create systemic change around the world.

Research shows that people are more likely to follow new norms if those norms are seen as important within their social groups. Religious beliefs, in particular, can have a significant impact on food choices and food systems.

The G20 has a pivotal role in steering the global transition to a sustainable, equitable, and resilient future. This week, the World Resources Institute hosted the co-chairs of the G20 Task Force on Global Mobilization to act on Climate Change to launch the A Just and Green Planet Report. This report outlines a clear framework for achieving green growth worldwide through a robust green industrial strategy and green finance, grounded in global governance that prioritizes equity across borders. It’s time for the G20 to act decisively and lead the economic transition we urgently need.
