WRI and its partners - UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank - are in the midst of developing the 2010 World Resources Report (WRR). The World Resources Report has evolved in its 25+ year history from a comprehensive look at the state of the global environment, with a limited topic focus in each volume, to a publication that has extensively explored a specific, policy issue related to the shared mission of the four partners. The theme of WRR 2010 will be climate change adaptation.
This event will be a high level panel comprised of the WRR partner organizations and adaptation experts from the field. Panelists will discuss emerging themes in adaptation and priorities for the international negotiations and their institutions/countries over the coming year.
