World Resources Institute
The World Resources Institute is a global environmental think tank that goes beyond research to put ideas into action. We work with governments, companies, and civil society to build solutions to urgent environmental challenges. WRI’s transformative ideas protect the earth and promote development because sustainability is essential to meeting human needs and fulfilling human aspirations in the future.
WRI spurs progress by providing practical strategies for change and effective tools to implement them. We measure our success in the form of new policies, products, and practices that shift the ways governments work, companies operate, and people act.
We operate globally because today’s problems know no boundaries. We are avid communicators because people everywhere are inspired by ideas, empowered by knowledge, and moved to change by greater understanding. We provide innovative paths to a sustainable planet through work that is accurate, fair, and independent.

Displaying 1 - 5 of 97Enhancing climate finance access for Indigenous peoples and local communities: Insights from payments for ecosystem services
This report examines how payments for ecosystem services (PES) programs have impacted Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPs and LCs), highlighting both their potential to deliver environmental and social benefits and the persistent barriers to equitable access and participation. Drawing on evidence from 129 PES programs and a case study of Guatemala's PINPEP program, this report examines how PES can be better designed and implemented to ensure more equitable finance flows to IPs and LCs, making climate solutions more just and effective.

Potential Risks to Women’s Land Rights From Climate Actions: Exploring Matrilineal Communities in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama
This paper explores ways in which global actions to tackle climate change can potentially undermine women’s land tenure security. While there is greater cognizance of the role of secure land tenure as a critical enabler of global climate goals, climate actions that fail to account for differential tenure systems and gender dynamics risk eroding women’s customary land rights and associated social support systems. The paper recommends ways to balance climate goals with land rights protection.
