WRI’s Commitment:
Statement by WRI President and CEO Andrew Steer

Excerpt: "2020 was to have been a year of crucial international decisions on climate, biodiversity and the ocean. The massive human and economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic – with its closed offices, distracted politicians, economic downturn and overall sadness – could make progress in these areas much more difficult. But at a deeper level, it is possible that it may open the door for more systemic change. Our hope is that with the right leadership this crisis could spur citizens, politicians and corporate leaders to embrace a new way of doing business – a new social contract founded on a commitment to increased support for the vulnerable, protection of natural systems on which we all depend, and more effective collective action to address common threats. We will work towards this end." Read the full statement
