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.

🔗Is clean hydrogen a viable and realistic alternative to fossil fuels? Here, we answer key questions👉 https://bit.ly/42iiEtZ ➡️As pressure to find alternatives to climate-harming fossil fuels increase, hydrogen is emerging as a potential source to decarbonize everything from electricity production to transportation. ➡️Advancement in technologies that make it possible to produce hydrogen with zero or little greenhouse gas emissions is fueling much of its popularity, along with help from some hefty U.S. government subsidies and investments. ➡️Clean hydrogen simply means the processes and methods used to produce hydrogen emit zero or nominal fossil fuel or greenhouse gas emissions. #cleanhydrogen #climatechange #fossilfuels #hydrogenfuel #ghg

Today the U.S. Treasury Department released its final rule on 45V Hydrogen Production Tax Credit, enabling clean hydrogen producers to secure production incentives and accelerate the U.S. clean energy transition. Clean hydrogen is widely considered to be an important solution for decarbonizing energy-intensive sectors, such as heavy industry and commercial transport. The final guidance keeps intact the three pillars proposed by Treasury in December 2023, granting new flexibility for hydrogen producers while maintaining the three pillars’ core integrity. Read our statement – and our hydrogen insights – to learn more about pathways to clean hydrogen and critical incentives: https://lnkd.in/etdKr6Tq #Hydrogen #CleanHydrogen #CleanEnergy #TaxCredits

🧆♻️🚲Eating plant-based? Going zero-waste? Biking more? 🥳 It's 2025! The new year often brings new resolutions - and often, they are broken. 🙅But it's not fully our fault: The 'formula' to long-lasting change includes our environment, enabling (or limiting) the individual choices. 👉Learn more from behavioral scientist Mindy Hernandez, Director of WRI's Living Lab for Equitable Climate Action: https://bit.ly/40dTJFh #Resolutions #NewYear #2025 #HappyNewYear #NewYearResolutions #BehavioralScience #Psychology #Sustainability #SystemsChange #ClimateAction #ZeroWaste #PlantBased #Biking

2024 showed us why immediate action on #climate and nature is essential🌎 We witnessed the hottest year on record. Devastating #floods took lives and destroyed homes in places where degraded landscapes make communities more vulnerable to heavy rainfall. Blistering #heat caused heatstroke and deaths. #Wildfires scorched landscapes. Policymakers need to act ambitiously on climate and #nature — together — in 2025. Find out the possibilities👉 https://bit.ly/3P5l33f
