    New stories about climate change unfold every day — and with them, new commitments on climate action. Among all the headlines, what stories will make or break climate action in this critical decade?

    We'll explore the answer in WRI's 19th annual Stories to Watch presentation. This virtual event will feature WRI's President and CEO Ani Dasgupta as he explores which stories in 2022 will shape the global narrative for years to come. 

    Ani and our top experts will discuss commitments to end deforestation, scale up electric vehicles, reduce emissions and much more. Together, they will tackle one of the world's most urgent questions: Will this be the year that leaders turn promises into action?

      Stories to Watch 2026

       

      For more than 20 years, WRI has identified annual “Stories to Watch.” These are the year’s moments, issues and decisions that we believe will shape the future trajectory of the world.

      Stories to Watch 2026 explores how the choices we make can deliver real benefits for people—not just decades from now, but today.

      • Will the energy transition stall economic progress or ignite a new era of inclusive prosperity?

      • Will climate action deepen today’s cost-of-living and housing crises—or become a pathway to affordability?

      • Will jobs in the new economy open doors to a brighter future for families everywhere—or leave too many behind?
