IISD Annual Report 2020–2021
Roadmap to a Resilient Future
IISD has always dedicated itself to "providing the knowledge to act." We still do this, and we do it exceptionally well—our experts have clear, actionable solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. But more than ever before, IISD is focused on impact. We can’t afford not to be.
As we head toward a future where so much remains unknown, let’s remember this: It’s still in our hands. We can reach net-zero by 2050. We can protect ourselves and future generations from the impacts of climate change. We can create equitable, inclusive economies.
We have the roadmap, and we know the way forward—together, we can get there. It's time to start moving.
