About

WRI is committed to creating change that improves people's lives and ensures the natural world CAN thrive. (see schedule o)WRI's BOLD vision requires a formula for success we CALL "count it. Change it. Scale it.":- count it: our work is guided by timely, independent research that is subjected to rigorous PEER reviews.- change it: we then use our research to inform action on the ground, clear barriers to implementation and then monitor progress to learn from it.- scale it: once tested, we strive to expand our successes nationally, regionally and globally, and we make our learnings accessible through partnerships, publications and tools. We employ this strategy across ALL our major programs and centers.
