World Resources Institute comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from June 2012 to June 2024.
UN Climate Funding, Developing Nations and Five Trillion Dollars
Negotiators in Bonn, Germany, are laying the groundwork for a new climate finance goal. The World Resources Institute estimates that climate funding needs to reach $5 trillion per year by 2030 to assist developing nations. The hosts question the source of such funding and compare the figure to the GDP of major industrialized nations.
Global Water Stress, World Resources Institute Data
The World Resources Institute reports that 17 countries, including India and Iran, are facing "extremely high water stress." The data suggests that a quarter of the world's population is at risk of running out of water. The report links these shortages to "global heating" and warns of future food insecurity and migration crises.
Social Cost of Carbon and Global Wealth Redistribution
The "Social Cost of Carbon" (SCC) is a new monetary value assigned to future climate damage, used to justify international taxes. Organizations like the World Resources Institute, which includes figures like Al Gore, are accused of pushing these policies to bypass national sovereignty and implement global VAT-style taxes.
