Dear John,
From devastating floods in Pakistan to extreme heat in Europe and the U.S., the impacts of fossil fuel-driven development were clearer than ever in 2022.
But so, too, were the solutions.
As a leading voice on environment and international development issues, WRI’s content advances groundbreaking solutions for a sustainable future. This year, we produced pivotal research on the state of climate action, forests, cities, adaptation and more. Our experts provided incisive analysis of the world’s most pressing issues — from the COP27 climate summit to the food and energy implications of Russia’s Ukraine invasion. We published dozens of articles, explainers, podcasts and more to demystify complex topics — like beef’s impact on climate change, or the ways community solar can benefit low-income households.
And we made all of it freely available to you, our readers.
Below, we’ve selected some of our top stories of 2022, published on our flagship Insights channel. If you enjoy our work, please consider sharing or donating so we can produce more insightful content in 2023.
Thanks for reading! Together, we can create a more sustainable, prosperous future for people and the planet.
