Ani Dasgupta, President and CEO of the World Resources Institute (WRI), brings a strategic focus on climate adaptation, urban resilience, and equitable development.
Advancing Resilience for Vulnerable Nations
With a distinguished background in global policy and sustainable city planning, Dasgupta is committed to driving impactful, inclusive climate initiatives for vulnerable countries facing escalating climate risks.
Dasgupta emphasizes the importance of global climate solidarity, urging high-income nations to honour financial commitments. At COP29, he envisions securing a robust climate finance framework to better support climate-vulnerable countries, aiming to expand access to the Loss and Damage Fund established at COP28. This fund will provide critical resources for nations impacted by climate change, empowering them to rebuild and adapt resiliently.
Strengthening National and Global Commitments
As COP29 approaches, Dasgupta calls for strengthened Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and transparent climate action frameworks. His leadership at WRI underscores the need for transparent funding to ensure it aligns with the specific needs of vulnerable regions. Through actionable climate policies and international collaboration, Dasgupta seeks to build a more resilient and inclusive world.
