===<a href="https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/08/17-countries-home-one-quarter-world-population-face-extremely-high-water-stress">https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/08/17-countries-home-one-quarter-world-population-face-extremely-high-water-stress</a>Once-unthinkable water crises are becoming commonplace.Reservoirs in <a href="https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/06/how-does-flood-prone-city-run-out-water-inside-chennai-day-zero-crisis" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Chennai</a>, India’s sixth-largest city, are nearly dry right now. Last year, residents of <a href="https://www.wri.org/blog/2018/02/3-things-cities-can-learn-cape-towns-impending-day-zero-water-shut" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Cape Town</a>, South Africa narrowly avoided their own “Day Zero” water shut-off. And the year before that, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41081066" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Rome</a> rationed water to conserve scarce resources.The reasons for these crises go far deeper than drought: Through <a href="https://www.wri.org/publication/aqueduct-30" style="text-decoration-line: none;">new hydrological models</a>, WRI found that water withdrawals globally have more than doubled since the 1960s due to growing demand – and they show no signs of slowing down.New data from <a href="https://www.wri.org/aqueduct/" style="text-decoration-line: none;">WRI’s Aqueduct</a> tools <a href="https://www.wri.org/news/2019/07/release-updated-global-water-risk-atlas-reveals-top-water-stressed-countries-and-states" style="text-decoration-line: none;">reveal that 17 countries</a> – home to one-quarter of the world’s population—face “extremely high” levels of baseline water stress, where irrigated agriculture, industries and municipalities withdraw more than 80% of their available supply on average every year. Forty-four countries, home to one-third of the world, face “high” levels of stress, where on average more than 40% of available supply is withdrawn every year. (Check your country’s water stress level in the full rankings at the end of this post.) Such a narrow gap between supply and demand leaves countries vulnerable to fluctuations like droughts or increased water withdrawals, which is why we’re seeing more and more communities facing their own “Day Zeros” and other crises...

The World Resources Institute (WRI) was founded in 1982 by <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/James_Gustave_Gus_Speth" title="James Gustave Gus Speth" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">James Gustave Gus Speth</a> who served as the Institute's first president until January 1993. Speth remains as a member of the Board. Based in Washington, D.C., WRI is a center for policy research and technical assistance on environment and development issues. WRI's mission is "to move human society to live in ways that protect Earth's environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of current and future generations." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=World_Resources_Institute#cite_note-1" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[1]</a>

WRI is an enthusiastic proponent of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Carbon_Capture_and_Storage" title="Carbon Capture and Storage" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Carbon Capture and Storage</a>, an experimental technology aimed at reducing carbon emissions from coal-fired power stations. (For further details see <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/World_Resources_Institute_and_Carbon_Capture_and_Storage" title="World Resources Institute and Carbon Capture and Storage" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">World Resources Institute and Carbon Capture and Storage</a>).

The World Resources Institute (WRI) is a global research organization that spans more than 50 countries, with offices in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" title="United States" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">United States</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China" title="China" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">China</a> , <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil" title="Brazil" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Brazil</a>, and more. WRI<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India" title="India" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">India</a>, based in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai" title="Mumbai" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Mumbai</a>, is an independent organization inspired by WRI and sharing WRI's mission, goals, and programs. WRI has more than 450 experts and staff who work closely with leaders to turn big ideas into action to sustain the world's natural resources — the foundation of economic opportunity and human well-being.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Resources_Institute#cite_note-1" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[1]</a>

WRI organizes its work around six critical goals that the world must achieve this decade in order to secure a sustainable future:

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_Change" title="Climate Change" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Climate Change</a>: Protect communities and natural ecosystems from damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions, and generate opportunities for people by catalyzing a global transition to a low-carbon economy.</li>

</ul>

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Energy: Drive the scale-up of clean, affordable <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_systems" title="Power systems" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">power systems</a> throughout the world to deliver sustainable socio-economic development.</li>

</ul>

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Food: Ensure the world’s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_systems" title="Food systems" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">food systems</a> reduce their impact on the environment, drive economic opportunity, and sustainably feed 9.6 billion people by 2050.</li>

</ul>

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forests" title="Forests" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Forests</a>: Alleviate poverty, enhance food security, conserve biodiversity, and mitigate climate change by reducing forest loss and restoring productivity to degraded, deforested lands.</li>

</ul>

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water" title="Water" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Water</a>: Achieve a water-secure future by mapping, measuring, and mitigating global water risks.</li>

</ul>

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities" title="Cities" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Cities</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport" title="Transport" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Transport</a>: Improve quality of life in cities by developing and scaling environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable urban and transport solutions.</li>

</ul>

WRI designs solutions for and analyze these six critical goals through the lenses of three Centers:

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;">The Governance Center works to empower people and support institutions to foster socially equitable and environmentally sound decision-making.</li>

</ul>

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;">The Business Center harnesses the private sector to spur action, innovation, and ambition in support of sustainable development outcomes. WRI combines research, analysis, tools, and direct engagement with businesses to create solutions that advance environmental sustainability and drive value.</li>

</ul>

<li style=" margin-bottom: 0.1em;">The Finance Center aims to mobilize and shift public and private sector investments toward sustainable development—particularly in developing nations. WRI advances transparency, sound governance, environmental and social safeguards, and public-private partnerships to ensure this finance is ambitious, accountable, and effective.</li>

</ul>

WRI is governed by a Board of Directors.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Resources_Institute#cite_note-2" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[2]</a> Donor information and accomplishments of the organization are highlighted in its Annual Report.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Resources_Institute#cite_note-3" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[3]</a> The current president, Dr. Andrew Steer, began his term in August 2012.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Resources_Institute#cite_note-4" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[4]</a>
