WRF Events
WRF Events
The WRF Secretariat organises global and regional conferences. The flagship international conference, the World Resources Forum (WRF), takes place once a year and attracts 500-1000 business leaders, policy-makers, NGOs, researchers and the broader public. The regional conferences focus on issues pertaining to specific geographical areas. WRF also runs smaller-scale capacity-building workshops for SMEs, policy-makers and the informal sector, for instance sharing expertise on eco-efficiency, recycling of electronic waste and health and safety standards for recycling workers. Further workshops on circular economy and decoupling economic growth from resource strain are run by WRF during major sustainability conferences worldwide.
