In 2020, WRI registered a legal presence in Colombia to facilitate our growing work there. The WRI Colombia Foundation represents the World Resources Institute in the Republic of Colombia.

WRI México focuses on five topics: climate, cities, forests, energy, and the ocean. We work with federal and local governments and the private sector to increase climate ambition in Mexico and Colombia, where WRI recently opened an office.
