More Progress Is Needed On $100 Billion Climate Finance Commitment

A new "Delivery Plan," commissioned by the incoming COP26 President, outlines how developed countries plan to meet their joint commitment of mobilizing $100 billion in climate finance for developing countries.

What We Do

WRI is a global research organization that works with governments, businesses, multilateral institutions and civil society groups to develop practical solutions that improve people’s lives and protect nature. We organize our work around seven global challenges: Food, Forests, Water, Energy, Climate, the Ocean and Cities. We analyze these issues through the lenses of our four Centers of Excellence: Business, Economics, Finance and Equity.
