Dear John,
Imagine a world where the people protecting forests, building community resilience against climate impacts and fighting pollution have to make decisions in the dark. No trusted data, no reliable maps and no independent analysis to guide effective action.
That’s the world WRI works to prevent every day.
This year, tens of thousands of people — from local NGO experts to government officials — used our free datasets, tools and insights to advance real solutions. Our evidence has helped communities improve their livelihoods, informed climate policy and strengthened sustainability solutions around the world.
Because this work matters, I have a small request for you today, John.
WRI makes our research and tools free to everyone because a more sustainable, equitable world depends on open, trusted evidence. But maintaining this independence costs money. It takes real resources to keep maps updated, vet datasets and ensure our analysis stays free from political or financial influence.
Will you give a year-end gift to ensure high-quality, unbiased data and research remains open and accessible for all? Your contribution today will help empower thousands of change-makers making life better for people all around the world and protecting our planet.
