Resources Unlimited? Conference
Resources Unlimited? Moving towards a resource-efficient economy
On Tuesday 11 October, WWF’s European Policy Office and the Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment, together with the EU Commission and the OECD, organised a one-day discussion in Brussels about one of the key topics of the moment: how to move to a new economic model that guarantees growth and wellbeing for us and future generations whilst respecting the limited resources of our one planet.
About 170 guests, including key stakeholders from EU institutions, governments and business engaged in discussions with an outstanding panel of speakers, from the EU Environment Commissioner Potočnik to OECD Director Simon Upton and Avrim Lazar President and CEO of the Forest Products Association of Canada.
The conference was opened by Tony Long, Director of WWF European Policy Office and was closed by Jim Leape.
This whole day of high-level debate ended with a WWF and OECD 50th Anniversary reception with speeches from Jim Leape, Anthony Cox of OECD and the EU Environment Commissioner, Janez Potočnik.
