Ensuring sustainability in the management and use of natural resources is a global challenge calling for collaborative solutions. Our flagship conferences are an internationally-renowned forum to establish a prolific dialogue among policy-makers, businesses, scientists and civil society leaders.
By breaking down silos, we provide a platform to confront experiences, discuss challenges and build a shared commitment towards urgent, collaborative action.










Since 2009, we have organised conferences in Japan, Switzerland, China, Peru, Australia, Costa Rica, Finland, Belgium and Ghana.
The World Resources Forum 2025 Insights Report presents key outcomes from WRF25, held on 2–3 September 2025 in Geneva and online.
Bringing together voices from governments, science, industry, finance, and international organisations, the report explores strategies to govern, finance, and scale resource transitions for a fair and sustainable future. It highlights practical solutions across the extractive sector, the built environment, and consumer and industrial goods, underscoring the importance of multilateral cooperation, transparent governance, and scalable innovation in times of global uncertainty.
Accelerating the resource revolution is the right issue to be addressed and the WRF is the right place to be for all who care for the future of humanity.
The World Resources Forum is the premier annual meeting that keeps resource efficiency in focus and builds global momentum towards putting in place the required policies to promote it.
The WRF conference brings together the global academic, business, policy and activist communities to analyse and reflect on the pressing environmental issues of the day. These are truly interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral gatherings. WRF is an important international agenda setter in the sustainability arena.
A conference series that expands outside the usual comfort zone of OECD countries. Sustainable use of resources involves everyone! The WRF also brings to the table the countries whose resources are exploited.
In times of fake news, the WRF has reliably proven its capacity to establish, and make known, the true state of the art in research on resource use.
