Everything about The Pacific Institute totally explained
The
Pacific Institute (full legal name: the
Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security) is a non-profit research institute created in
1987 to provide independent research and policy analysis on issues at the intersection of development, environment, and
security. It is located in
Oakland, California (USA).
The focus of the Institute is to find real-world solutions to problems like water shortages, habitat destruction,
global warming, and
environmental terrorism. The Institute conducts research, publishes reports, recommends solutions, and works with decision makers, advocacy groups, and the public to change policy.
Since its founding, the Institute has become known for analysis that cuts across traditional areas of study. Its interdisciplinary approach is applied to resource issues, strategies for community involvement, and
economic globalization, with a focus on challenging misuse and abuse of science in the policy context. (See, for example, the Institute's 2007 testimony to the U.S. Congress)
Institute staff are especially known for their work on new thinking around sustainable
water resources management and use. (See, for example, reports in
Science Magazine [2003] and
Nature [2002].)
The director and co-founder is Dr.
Peter Gleick, a
MacArthur Fellow and member of the
National Academy of Sciences.
The Institute also produces a biennial report on freshwater resources, called
The World's Water (published by
Island Press
,
Washington, D.C.).
