Projects in Markets & Enterprise

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.

Stabilizing the global climate in the 21st century will require major financial investments to transition the world’s economy on to a low-carbon path. WRI is addressing how these massive investments toward a low-carbon and resilient economy – which we refer to as climate finance –can be realized.
