Support Our Work
The world is on an unsustainable path. We simply cannot afford to keep doing things the way we've always done them. WRI develops solutions to sustain the world's natural resources—the foundation of economic opportunity and human well-being. Today, our CEO and President, Andrew Steer, is asking for your help.
Why Give to WRI?

“WRI’s international focus and innovative projects inspire hope for real and effective environmental change that still allows nations to make progress for their citizens.” – Jessica L.
