Wanjira Mathai leads Africa and Global Partnerships at the World Resources Institute (WRI), where she shapes strategies around climate finance, sustainable land use, and green economic transformation across the continent. Through her role, she influences how global capital is directed toward conservation, environmental restoration, and inclusive energy systems, ensuring that sustainability is embedded within economic planning rather than treated as an afterthought. By bridging international funding mechanisms with African development priorities, she strengthens the alignment between environmental stewardship and long-term economic resilience. Through policy influence, global partnerships, and sustainable investment advocacy, Wanjira demonstrates how climate leadership and financial systems intersect to shape the future of Africa’s economies.
