Overview
The U.S. Program at World Resources Institute develops pathways through complex and contentious issues that are necessary to address to reduce U.S. emissions by at least 50% by 2030, and to net zero before 2050. The institute is focused on the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to build infrastructure at the necessary speed and scale; optimize land use for food, nature, and clean energy; develop sustainable and secure supply chains for batteries, solar panels, and other clean energy technologies; and ensure just and equitable outcomes put U.S. climate goals within reach. It will advance the effective implementation of these laws, plus the complementary federal, state, and local policies and private sector actions needed to fully achieve them.

Grants to this Grantee
for U.S.-EU Track II Dialogues
World Resources Institute is a global think tank focused on protecting nature and stabilizing climate. This grant will fund the continuation of the series of Track II climate dialogues between senior nongovernmental advisors and former senior leaders from the U.S and the European Union. These talks provide the opportunity to raise and address issues in less formal forums and build understanding of potential climate policy options. The project will work with actors from across the political spectrum, with the aim of building ambition on both sides of the Atlantic. This grant will support convening and analysis. (Substrategy: Multilateral)
for U.S. Climate programs
The World Resources Institute pursues systemic change that benefits people, nature, and climate together. As the world’s top economy and the largest historical greenhouse gas emitter, it sees U.S. global climate leadership as critical. To ensure the U.S. reaches its climate goals, the organization prioritizes the successful implementation of federal climate investments, advances a broad suite of innovative industrial and carbon dioxide removal technologies, and is developing frameworks for people-centered transitions. To these ends, the institute is collaborating to develop a workable roadmap to establish a more resilient critical minerals supply chain, focused on domestic sourcing.

for encouragement of ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions
The World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global think tank focused on protecting nature and stabilizing climate. Through this project, WRI will seek to encourage ambitious commitments from nations, coined National Determined Contributions, as they work to meet the goals of the U.N. Climate Convention and keep temperature rise in check. (Substrategy: Multilateral)
