<p><strong>WRI Overview</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.wri.org/">World Resources Institute</a>&nbsp;(WRI) is an independent, nonprofit global research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity and human well-being. We are working to address seven critical challenges that the world must overcome this decade&nbsp;in order to&nbsp;secure a sustainable future for people and the planet: climate change, energy, food, forests, water,&nbsp;sustainable cities, and the ocean.&nbsp;</p> <p>We are passionate. We value our diversity of interests, skills and backgrounds. We have a flexible work environment. And we share a common goal to catalyze change that will improve the lives of people. Our shared ideals are at the core of our approach. They include: integrity, innovation, urgency, independence and respect.&nbsp;</p> <p>The foundation of our work is delivering high-quality research, data, maps and analysis to solve the world&rsquo;s greatest environment and international development <a href="http://www.wri.org/about/mission-goals">challenges</a>, and improve people&rsquo;s lives. We work with leaders in government, business and civil society to drive ambitious action and create change on the ground. Equally important, we bring together partners to develop breakthrough ideas and scale-up solutions for far-reaching, enduring impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>We have been growing rapidly: our staff has doubled in size over the past 5 years and our operating budget is now $150&nbsp;million.
