Below are some of the statements we have received to date from organizations and individuals around the world who have kindly expressed their support to the activities developed by the World Resources Forum project.

• "The work of the Forum is of the highest importance at this juncture of human history and I would certainly wish to contribute to it in any way I can."
  (Ashok Khosla - Co-President Club of Rome; Winterthur/Switzerland)

• "Without any doubt such an initiative is of highest value and necessary in this time."
  (Klaus Töpfer - Deputy Chairman of the German Council for Sustainable Development & Former Executive Director of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP); Berlin/Germany)

• "Breaking the links between economic growth and environmental degradation is possible. This is what the new UNEP Resource Panel is all about. We are very pleased to have the Forum as one of our partners."
  (Bas de Leeuw, Head Resource Panel Secretariat UNEP; Paris/France)

• "It will be honor and privilege for me to work with so prestige group of the experts."
  (Andrzej Kassenberg - Professor Institute for Sustainable Development; Warsaw/Poland)

• "This is an important initiative if it is able to proceed from declarations to governments, corporations and universities to take concrete actions - as time is really running out on us across the world."
  (Aromar Revi - Director TARU Leading Edge Consulting Group; New Delhi/India & Fellow of India China Institute; New York/USA)

• "The global economy is showing unmistakable signs or pending resource scarcity for a range of renewable and non-renewable resources in the face of growing populations and economic activity. Unless resource availability and use is given far more attention in economic analysis and policy, resource crises of increasing severity may be predicted. I hope that the World Resources Forum will start a process among policy and decision-makers of placing a far greater emphasis on resource use and how to keep that use within the capacity of the earth."
