Overview
The goal of World Resources Institute’s Sustainable Urban Mobility program in India is to make cities more accessible, equitable, and livable. India’s urban population will be about 600 million by 2030, and transportation is the fastest growing sector contributing to carbon emissions. World Resources Institute is working to scale up private-sector innovation and remove barriers to safe, reliable, affordable, and low-carbon transportation options for millions of urban citizens. While focusing on transport, the program also addresses problems of air pollution, safety for women, road fatalities, unequal access to economic opportunities, traffic congestion, and urban sprawl.

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)
