Worldwatch Institute

Worldwatch Institute delivers the insights and ideas that empower decision makers to create an environmentally sustainable society that meets human needs. Worldwatch focuses on the 21st-century challenges of climate change, resource degradation, population growth, and poverty by developing and disseminating solid data and innovative strategies for achieving a sustainable society.

Worldwatch Institute is an independent environmental research organization recognized by opinion leaders around the world for its accessible, fact-based analysis of critical global issues.  The Institute's three main program areas include Climate & Energy, Food & Agriculture, and the Green Economy. Each year policymakers, journalists, academia, business leaders, and concerned citizens anticipate the release of our annual State of the World report which is released in early January.

Worldwatch has catalyzed effective environmental decision making since 1974. The Institute's interdisciplinary research is based on the best available science and focuses on the challenges that climate change, resource degradation, and population growth pose for meeting human needs in the 21st century. Worldwatch seeks innovative solutions to intractable problems, emphasizing a blend of government leadership, private sector enterprise, and citizen action that can make a sustainable future a reality.

Based in Washington, D.C., Worldwatch leverages its Internet presence and strong network of partners in more than a dozen countries for global impact. Its research is disseminated in over 20 languages through innovative use of print and online media.
