WhereNext’s creative studio + production house brings its storytelling prowess to collaborate with the World Resources Institute (WRI) in producing a series of educational videos that demystify the crucial public policies required to finance climate action.

Across the globe, governments increasingly recognize the urgency of addressing climate change as a shared global challenge. Consequently, most governments have made concrete climate commitments, demanding substantial investments for their realization. Yet, many key stakeholders remain unaware of the strategies available to secure essential funding for climate initiatives. To bridge this knowledge gap, WRI crafted a comprehensive report—titled “Paying for the Paris Agreement,”—outlining many available options for governments to meet their climate objectives, including avenues such as issuing green bonds, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, and monitoring climate-related expenditures.

In support of this report, WhereNext created 16 videos that offer a clear, accessible, and impactful explanation of key climate financing mechanisms. We conducted 37 interviews with policy, legislative, and finance experts in the United States, Costa Rica, Chile, Peru, and Colombia. These expert insights seamlessly integrate with narration that clarifies key strategies, featuring original animations that enhance comprehension and visuals that showcase the Earth's stunning diversity, with an intent to inspire a greater commitment to a more sustainable future.

Our efforts encompassed the entire production process, from pre-production to post-production. We embarked on rigorous technical research with WRI's guidance and developed an original narrative to create compelling content for diverse audiences, including government officials, business leaders, civic organizations, and community members. Additionally, our bilingual team contributed to translating 16 public policy briefs and proofreading the Spanish version of the "Paying for the Paris Agreement" report.
