WRI envisions a world where poor and vulnerable people are more resilient to the serious ecological, economic, and social challenges posed by climate change.
Climate change is upon us. While the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions grows ever more urgent, the need to adapt to a warming world can no longer be ignored. The accelerating and deepening impacts of climate change will touch all people in some way, but the poor and marginalized in developing countries stand to suffer the most. Development efforts need to take climate risks into account if they are to offer a more hopeful future.
WRI envisions a world where poor and vulnerable people are more resilient to the serious ecological, economic, and social challenges posed by climate change. To this end, national governments in some of the world’s poorest nations will shape their development policies, plans, and practices in three key areas: information, institutions, and finance.
