Shaping the Future of Natural Resources
The World Resources Forum (WRF) is an independent, international platform for debate on global resource consumption issues, advocating innovation for resource productivity. The WRF is building a bridge from the natural sciences and engineering to economics. It aims to equip political decision makers to identify realistic policy options for sustainable growth.
WelcomeDuring the first public event of the WRF in Davos (Sept. 15-16, 2009), over 350 scientists, entrepreneurs and policy makers shared their ideas and thoughts which resulted in a common declaration. You are cordially invited to watch the Davos Talks videos and browse through the WRF 2009 presentations.
