The mission of World Resources Institute is to move human society to live in ways that protect Earth's environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of current and future generations.

World Resources Institute(WRI) is an environmental think tank that goes beyond research to find practical ways to protect the earth and improve people's lives. Today's environmental challenges are complex and global in nature. They call for visionary and ambitious action grounded in sound science and objective analysis-the kind of action that has distinguished WRI for 25 years. WRI was launched June 3, 1982 as a center for policy research and analysis addressed to global resource and environmental issues.
