The specific approach of the WRF is to facilitate two separate, but interlinked discourses on global resource consumption issues, one among natural scientists and engineers and the other among economists.

The first discourse (science and engineering) was started via the Internet and has already produced a draft WRF declaration.

A new version will be published around the end of October 2008. If you still want to contribute to this discourse, please use the contact form.

The second discourse (economics) is being managed by the Lindau Group, an epistemic community of experts interested in reconciling economic theory with the way economic processes are governed by the laws of nature. The group was named for the place of its constitutive meeting in Lindau on Lake Constance in southern Germany.The Lindau Group produced a first document describing the consensus they have reached so far (see here).
