World Resources Institute (WRI)

World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global research organization focused on sustaining natural resources, which the organization considers to be the foundation of economic opportunity and human well-being. WRI conducts independent research, tests solutions, and informs government policies, business strategies, and civil society action.

WRI engages businesses, policymakers and civil society at the local, national, and international levels to advance solutions that help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change. Its Climate Resilience projects include:

  • Tracking Adaptation Success: Provide practitioners with practical solutions for tracking the success and failure of adaptation initiatives in the context of sustainable development
  • Scaling Adaptation: Ensure more effective and large-scale adaptation efforts by bridging practical experience into improved policies and programs, especially through WRI's framework for identifying good adaptation practices
  • Urban Climate Resilience: Build urban resilience to climate change by helping cities address their climate risks and vulnerabilities
  • International Climate Action Initiative: Work to advance national and international cooperation on climate change and to catalyze ambitious, equitable action and implementation of the Paris Agreement
  • Adaptation Finance: Reduce the vulnerability of local communities exposed to climate change by increasing the volume and effectiveness of finance directed towards adaptation
