Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC)

Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) is an independent regional organization that works to find practical solutions for people in the Asia-Pacific region to enhance their ability to cope with disasters. Using its expertise and scientific knowledge-base in the field of disaster and climate risk management, ADPC works with countries to address the root causes of disasters. It uses all the resources at its disposal for community and public benefit. Since 1986, ADPC has expanded its scope and diversified its operations for an approach that offers long-term and sustainable solutions to reduce the impacts of disasters and climate change.

Natural Resource Governance Institute

NRGI supports informed, inclusive decision-making about natural resources and the energy transition. We partner with reformers in government and civil society to design and implement just policies based on evidence and the priorities of citizens in resource-rich developing countries. We seek to address power imbalances, both nationally and globally. Our approach accounts for political realities, and advances equity in voice, influence and access to information. We envision a world where natural resources enable fair, prosperous and sustainable societies, instead of undermining them. NRGI exists because decisions about how natural resources are governed determine the wellbeing of people in resource-rich countries, and of the planet.

G20 Research Group

The G20 Research Group is a global network of scholars, students and professionals in the academic, research, business, non-governmental and other communities who follow the work of the G20 leaders, finance ministers and central bank governors, and other G20 institutions. It is directed from Trinity College in the University of Toronto, also the home of the G7 Research Group. Our mission is to serve as the world's leading independent source of information and analysis on the G20. As scholars, we accurately describe, explain and interpret what the G20 and its members do. As teachers and public educators, we present to the global community and G20 governments the results of our research and information about the G20. As citizens, we foster transparency and accountability in G20 governance, including assessments of G20 members'​ compliance with their summit commitments and the connection between civil society and G20 governors. And as professionals, we offer policy advice about G20 governance, but do not engage in advocacy for or about the G20 or the issues it might address. The G20 Research Group hosts the G20 Information Centre, a comprehensive permanent collection of information and analysis available online at no charge. It complements the G8 Information Centre, which houses publicly available archives on the G20 as well as the G7 and G8, and the BRICS Information Centre. The G20 Research Group also hosts a speakers series in its efforts to educate scholars and the public about the issues and agenda of the G20. Past speakers have included senior officials of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and scholars from Columbia University and elsewhere. For each G20 summit and other related meetings, when possible, the G20 Research Group sends a field team to assist the world's media on site and collect the documentation uniquely available there.
