Evidence for resilient, low-carbon development.

Green Resilience Institute convenes scientists, economists, and policy practitioners to produce practical climate evidence for Mongolia and landlocked developing countries.

About GRI

A civil-society research institute grounded in Mongolia.

The Green Resilience Institute works at the intersection of climate science, economic development, and international policy. Its identity reflects a research-grade, internationally oriented institution rooted in Mongolian heritage.

GRI focuses on evidence that helps decision-makers understand climate impact, compare development pathways fairly, and strengthen adaptive capacity.

01

Evidence

Measurement-grade research and transparent methodology for climate and development analysis.

02

Equity

Fair climate measurement across development levels, including Mongolia and landlocked developing countries.

03

Resilience

Science translated into policy that supports low-carbon pathways and national adaptive capacity.

Green Development Index

Beyond GDP: measuring prosperity with planetary health.

The GDI expands conventional development metrics by integrating socioeconomic development with environmental footprint data, including carbon emissions and land degradation.

HDI
Human well-being and social progress
EI
Environmental pressure and sustainability
GDI
A balanced view of green development

What We Do

Research and policy support for climate decisions.

Climate Measurement

Developing indicators, methodologies, and data narratives that make climate impact comparable and usable.

Policy Translation

Turning technical findings into briefings, working papers, and implementation guidance for institutions.

International Engagement

Advancing Mongolia's perspective in global climate conversations and forums for landlocked developing countries.

MRV Capacity

Supporting monitoring, reporting, and verification systems for resilient and accountable climate action.

Global Roadmap

Positioning GDI as a practical standard for green development.

GRI's research agenda connects Mongolia's climate priorities with a broader international need: metrics that reward human progress without hiding environmental stress.
