The world has changed over the past forty years. World Resources Institute’s commitment to solutions for people and planet has not.
With a founding grant of $15 million provided by the MacArthur Foundation, our first president, Gus Speth, and a handful of staff moved into a tiny office above a nightclub in Washington DC. Over the years, WRI’s size, reach and influence have grown exponentially.
Today, WRI has nearly 1,800 staff, more than half of whom are based outside of the United States. Our global team is spread across 12 country offices, working on projects in more than 50 countries around the world.
