Reliable, accessible data is essential for analyzing global problems and creating sustainable solutions. WRI’s work depends on data to provide effective, actionable recommendations for government leaders, the private sector and civil society.
WRI’s Data Lab works throughout the institute to help our researchers harness the full power of the data revolution and use modern technology to solve today’s most pressing issues. The Data Lab upholds WRI’s rigorous data standards and commitment to open data and knowledge-sharing. Over time, we will scale up the use of innovative analytical methods, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to build tools that help partners and users advance solutions for sustainable development.
