TheIRI understands that achieving the systemic transformations we aim for is impossible without collaboration. Our journey towards a sustainable future demands close partnerships with a broad spectrum of stakeholders—individuals, businesses, NGOs, governments, and more. We leverage these collaborations to strengthen our knowledge, expand our capacity, and share critical ideas, data, and resources. Together, we can propel the world toward shared goals and transformational impact.
We set higher standards for ourselves. It’s no longer sufficient to measure positive outcomes; we are now focusing on Global Impact Targets—concrete changes that align with international agreements. We are aligning our institutional and country-specific targets with these global objectives. If our work doesn’t lead to meaningful change that advances our goals for people, nature, and climate, we try harder.
Every initiative at TheIRI is rooted in thorough, evidence-based transformational strategies. We identify the critical actors, risks, assumptions, and knowledge gaps necessary for our success. By employing robust methodologies for planning, monitoring, evaluation, and learning, we ensure that we can track progress and adapt as needed. Ultimately, our goal is to create initiatives that generate measurable impact and valuable lessons, which we share to amplify global progress.
To realize our vision of a globally coordinated network, we must shift our approach to funding. We prioritize multi-year, adaptive funding that enables us to invest deeply in projects and build lasting institutional capacity. This support allows us to focus on a select set of high-impact areas with clear, ambitious targets.
Our ambitions are high, and achieving systemic transformation in key regions and worldwide is a monumental endeavour and it is a vital one. The work we do today will shape the world we leave for future generations. Our efforts to achieve a Successful Transition are not just about meeting today’s needs—they are about building a sustainable, thriving planet for tomorrow.
