Program Services Form 990, Part III The World Resources Institute (WRI) is an environmental think tank that goes beyond research to find practical ways to protect the earth and improve people's lives. With a staff of over 350 scientists, economists, policy experts, business analysts, statisticians, lawyers, and mapmakers, and nearly 400 partner organizations around the world, WRI administers its activities through the seven programs described below. Every project undertaken by WRI contributes to one or more of the following goals: - People and Ecosystems: Reverse rapid degradation of ecosystems and assure their capacity to provide humans with needed goods and services. - Market and Enterprise: Harness markets and enterprise to expand economic opportunity and protect the environment. - Climate Protection: Protect the global climate system from further harm due to emissions of greenhouse gases and help humanity and the natural world adapt to unavoidable climate change. - Governance: Empower people and support institutions to foster environmentally sound and socially equitable decision-making. Program Service Activity 1 Form 990, Part III, Line 4a CLIMATE, ENERGY AND POLLUTION PROGRAM: Focuses on reducing the risk of climate change in ways that drive sustainable development. Projects include developing approaches for global agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change; US climate policy efforts at the local, State and national level; and active engagement with the business community. The program develops and maintains tools and databases, designs business models, and convenes stakeholder groups to provide advice to all levels of government and civil society. Program Service Activity 2 Form 990, Part III, Line 4b EMBARQ-WRI'S CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT: EMBARQ catalyzes and helps implement socially, financially, and environmentally sustainable transport solutions to improve quality of life in cities. Working through public-private partnerships with politically and financially empowered decision makers in major cities around the world, EMBARQ reduces the cost, risk, time, and complexity of finding and implementing sustainable transport solutions. EMBARQ has created Centers for Sustainable Transport in Mexico, Brazil, and the Andean Region, which manage its day to day interactions with leadership of cities in those regions, and has significant project activities in India and Turkey. Typical solutions which EMBARQ helps cities achieve include: clean fuels/clean vehicles strategies; improved transit services such as Bus Rapid Transit, demand management and non-motorized transport. Program Service Activity 3 Form 990, Part III, Line 4c PEOPLE AND ECOSYSTEMS PROGRAM: Works to develop and promote strategies to reverse rapid degradation of ecosystems and assure their capacity to provide humans with needed goods and services. These strategies emphasize multi-scale approaches to managing ecosystems, stress the importance of ecosystem benefits to people, and rely on partnerships to create lasting solutions. Staff work in two focal areas: (1) mainstreaming ecosystem services (the benefits people obtain from nature) and (2) forest landscape information. The first works toward a world in which governments and businesses value and invest in ecosystems-forests, wetlands, coral reefs, etc.-in order to secure economic growth and people's well being. The forest team works to enable governments, businesses, and civil society to act upon better and more widely shared information to strengthen the management of working forests, reduce deforestation, and safeguard primary forest in forest-rich regions. Other Program Service Activities Form 990, Part III, Line 4d INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNANCE PROGRAM: By partnering with governmental and non-governmental organizations in more than 50 countries, IGP promotes greater transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability in decisions regarding natural resources and the environment. IGP's current projects promote systemic improvements in access to information, public participation and access to justice; improve governance in the electricity sector and in forest management in the context of low carbon development; strengthen the environmental and social standards and safeguards of international financial institutions, including those based in emerging economies; and promote the sound management and equitable distribution of benefits derived from natural resources, particularly in Africa. MARKET & ENTERPRISE PROGRAM: WRI's Markets and Enterprise Group produces economically sound policies, bold vision, and practical solutions in collaboration with the business community. To channel the private sector to incorporate environmental and social opportunities into core business strategies, we employ the following approaches: -Build Market Demand: Expand the market for goods and services that protect the climate and ecosystems -- such as green power, certified forest products, and responsibly mined metals -- by enabling the environment for these products to grow and by developing cost-competitive procurement strategies. - Create Sustainable Enterprises: Demonstrate not only a new way of doing business, but also the power of the private sector to reduce poverty and protect the environment. Enable entrepreneurs and corporations to develop profitable business approaches to climate change, ecosystem degradation, and improving people's lives. - Tools and Analysis: WRI has developed tools and databases to give corporations, NGOs, and entrepreneurs from across the globe access to the models and ideas they need for success. For example, WRI has developed a global water risk atlas, called Aqueduct. - Promote Green Investing: Change how financial markets value companies by making the incorporation of environmental value and risk into investment decisions standard practice as a means to influence corporate performance and strategy. SPECIAL STUDIES AND INNOVATION PROGRAM: Undertakes or mentors new activities designed to foster innovation across the institute. Activities focus on new projects or objectives, and on new tools and capacities in areas such as modeling and communications. EXTERNAL RELATIONS PROGRAM: Manages WRI's efforts to communicate its work to diverse audiences, including governments, corporations, and international organizations to support the accomplishment of the objectives outlined in program plans. In addition, we seek ways of enhancing WRI's overall profile through continued attention to communication opportunities. We utilize a wide variety of mechanisms to communicate WRI's work appropriate to the goals of each program; we are constantly exploring new means of communicating our work more effectively to key audiences.
