Projects on international policy (in all programs)

WRI is a global environmental think tank that goes beyond research to put ideas into action. We have over 50 active projects working on aspects of global climate change, sustainable markets, ecosystem protection, and environmentally responsible governance.

WRI and the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice created the Climate Justice Dialogue to mobilize political will and creative thinking to shape an equitable and ambitious international climate agreement in 2015.

The Declaration on Climate Justice calls on world leaders to take bold action on climate change and create a future that is fair for all.

WRI aims to highlight the best proposals for the institutional design of an international climate change regime. This project is a joint endeavor of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), with the support of the Government of Ireland.

WRI provides research and expert analysis to help countries work together toward climate solutions that are ambitious and based on mutual trust and confidence.

Working with nations to achieve the twin goals of robust economic growth and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

The National Adaptive Capacity (NAC) framework helps national institutions evaluate and improve their capacity to perform functions necessary for adaptation to climate change.

Building accountability and information to address climate change from the top down and the bottom up.

Ensuring that the opportunities of clean energy are available to the nations that need them most by guiding effective international collaboration on low-carbon technology.

WRI envisions a world where poor and vulnerable people are more resilient to the serious ecological, economic, and social challenges posed by climate change.

WRI aims to help national governments and their domestic stakeholders develop systems through which they can wisely generate, access, disperse, and track finances.

WRI provides resources for crafting new, decision-relevant analytic products and information tools that help decision-makers take action.

WRI focuses on helping institutions shift incentives, take on new mandates, and build capacity to support the process of integrating climate risks into day-to-day activities.
