	The World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global resource organization developing research-based solutions to sustain natural resources.  Its work at the intersection of the environment and development contains topic areas on climate, energy, food, forests, water, sustainable cities and transport, business, economics, finance, and governance.  Its main contributions include publications, blogs, news, and research projects containing charts, graphs, datasets, data visualizations, maps, presentations, and videos available for public access.  Its publications span from 1984 to 2016.  IFs originally obtained energy series data from WRI’s Earthtrends database, though WRI later discontinued this dataset.  WRI now provides emissions and climate data via its Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT) data explorer that is available for download.  The website is accessible via [http://www.wri.org/ http://www.wri.org//].
