for WRI China’s organizational planning and design
This grant aims to enhance WRI China's governance and build internal capacity to better support growth and impacts in the following 5-10 years.
for U.S.-China High-Level Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change
This grant to the World Resources Institute will fund the continuation of the Track II climate dialogue between senior nongovernmental advisors and former government officials from the U.S. and China. These talks provide the opportunity to raise and address issues in less formal forums and build trust for the time when climate policy is back on the agenda of the U.S. and China. The project will work with actors from across the political spectrum, with the aim of building ambition on both sides. This grant will support convening and analysis. (Substrategy: Multilateral)
