Our Story
The Natural Resource Governance Institute envisions a world where natural resources empower fair, prosperous, and sustainable societies. Decisions regarding the governance of these resources significantly impact the wellbeing of individuals in resource-rich countries and the planet as a whole. In a world facing crises such as oil-fueled conflict and climate change, the need for effective governance has never been more urgent.
With over one billion people relying on the oil, gas, and mining sectors, inclusive resource governance is essential for a just transition to sustainable economies. NRGI works alongside resource-rich developing countries to promote informed decision-making that addresses the needs of vulnerable populations. By focusing on the optimal management of extraction processes and the transition to renewable energy, NRGI aims to mitigate social conflicts and foster a low-carbon future.
