The Pacific Institute is a research organization based in Oakland, California, focused on ensuring that water resources support people, economies, and ecosystems now and into the future. Founded in 1987, the institute develops and promotes solutions to pressing water challenges such as unsustainable management, climate-related impacts, environmental degradation, and the connections between water, food, energy, and sanitation for growing populations. It pursues an interdisciplinary, nonpartisan approach, collaborating with policymakers, scientists, corporate leaders, international bodies like the United Nations, advocacy groups, and local communities to translate knowledge into real-world options. Through these collaborations, the institute aims to address complex water issues with evidence-based, practical guidance.

It serves a diverse set of clients and stakeholders that includes government agencies, businesses, NGOs, and community groups seeking informed analyses and actionable recommendations. In late 2025, the Pacific Institute launched the Accounting for Nature Program to help governments and businesses measure and scale nature-based solutions.
