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.
WelcomeDear visitor,
During 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. After the first plenary, this website will serve as a platform on which you are invited to discuss about natural resource use, its current trends and limitations, their economic and political implications.
The next WRF is scheduled to take place from Sept. 19-21, 2011 in Davos/Switzerland. |
