The World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global research non-profit organization established in 1982 with funding from the MacArthur Foundation[3][4] under the leadership of James Gustave Speth.[5][6] Subsequent presidents include Jonathan Lash (1993–2011), Andrew D. Steer[3] (2012–2021)[7] and current president Ani Dasgupta (2021–present).[8]

WRI studies sustainable practices for business, economics, finance and governance, with the purpose of better supporting human society in six areas: food, forests, water, energy, cities, and climate.[9] The institute's flagship report series is the World Resources Report,[10] each of which deals with a different topic.[11] WRI encourages initiatives for monitoring, data analysis, and risk assessment, including global and open source projects. WRI has maintained a 4 out of 4 stars rating from Charity Navigator since 1 October 2008.[citation needed][12]
