The Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (PRI) is a California-based free-market think tank founded in 1979 to promote "the principles of individual freedom and personal responsibility" through policies that emphasize a free economy, private initiative, and limited government. The Pacific Research Institute has been associated with other politically conservative think tanks, including the American Enterprise Institute, The Heritage Foundation, The Fraser Institute, and the Cato Institute.
Since 1996 they have published an annual Index of Leading Environmental Indicators, which tracks environmental trends worldwide.
