Overview
This grant to World Resources Institute (WRI) is in partnership with a companion grant to the Wilson Institute's China Environmental program. Its purpose is to develop a strategic mapping of future opportunities to work more directly on slowing the growth of coal fired power and industrial energy resources in China. Currently, China depends upon coal to provide 70% of its energy, and it has been the engine for the nation's rapid economic growth over the past decade. The Foundation is interested in working with the China Sustainable Energy Project and others to develop a more focused coal strategy, starting with this scoping project underway by WRI.

for electric mobility initiative in India
World Resources Institute (WRI) is actively engaged in various geographies to produce relevant e-mobility research and provide deep technical assistance that supports stakeholders in delivering results. WRI’s electric mobility initiative in India has been working extensively with the Indian government and various state governments on developing the EV ecosystem and contributing to India’s strengthened commitment to the e-mobility transition. This grant will allow WRI to continue to support this transition and work closely at the subnational level with state governments to support the planning and implementation of EV initiatives, provide necessary technical assistance and enable capacity development within government departments, and facilitate collaborations between public and private sector stakeholders.
