Data

WRI believes that good data is the foundation of good decision-making. We produce data sets, data platforms and data-based tools, which we make freely available through our open data commitment.

WRI’s Data Lab uses advances in data and technology to help our researchers improve lives, protect nature and ensure just transitions.

There is more data available today than ever before thanks to rapid advances in technology, satellites, on-the-ground monitoring, and engaged communities recording information about the world around them. Yet, too often policymakers, business leaders, and analysts cannot access the data they need to make informed decisions about the environment and human well-being. 

The Ocean Program works to catalyze ambitious ocean action around the world by building on cutting-edge research and thought leadership. Explore all projects in depth.

Open Data Commitment

WRI believes that sound policies and informed decisions require the free flow of information. To that end, we commit to making our data and the results of our research freely available for all to use.
