WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE’S CORPORATE CONSULTATIVE GROUP: 2023 YEAR IN REVIEW

The 2023 Year in Review for the Corporate Consultative Group (CCG) outlines how WRI partners with the private sector to accelerate the energy transition and protect nature. The report details member benefits such as 'Tailored Advice' and 'MindShare' events, while aligning corporate engagement with WRI's 2023–2027 Strategic Plan. It highlights specific goals for decarbonizing energy, halting deforestation, and shifting finance, noting that CCG members provide critical unrestricted funds and practical input to ensure WRI's research is fit for corporate application.

• WRI's 2023–2027 Strategic Plan, titled 'Getting the Transition Right for People, Nature and Climate', focuses on achieving observable global impact through rigorous targets and theories of change, with the private sector playing a critical role.
• The CCG provides members with 'Tailored Advice', which in 2023 totaled nearly 100 hours of expert support for activities including setting Paris Agreement-aligned goals, materiality reviews, and C-suite strategy meetings.
• WRI aims to decarbonize the energy supply and expand equitable energy access, specifically targeting a threefold increase in energy infrastructure investment from 2022 levels in China, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, and the US.
• To address the 'global land squeeze', WRI has set targets to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions per unit of yield by 30% from 1 million hectares of agricultural production and to decrease food loss and waste by 25% among 200 of the world's largest food companies.
• WRI's forest and nature-based solutions strategy aims to halve the rate of natural ecosystem loss and increase sustainable food production across multiple jurisdictions by 2027, noting these solutions could provide one-third of the global emissions reductions needed by 2030.
• WRI's water stewardship goal is to reduce freshwater stress to below 70% in all watersheds by 2030.
• WRI estimates that approximately $5 trillion of annual capital will be required by 2050 to meet biodiversity and climate goals, necessitating a more than tenfold increase in private sector investments.
