International Dialogue Project
Resource Equity in a Finite World
One of the great challenges of the 21st century is to bring about global equity without further overstepping the planet’s ecological limits or overusing the earth’s finite resources. Twenty years after the Rio Earth Summit and forty years after the publication of Meadows’ "Limits to Growth" the Heinrich Böll Stiftung wants to build on its successful project work on resource and agricultural policy at headquarter and country office level, and launch an international dialogue process on Resource Politics (see concept paper). We will consider various natural resources (such as oil/gas, minerals, land/soil, water, forests, biodiversity), as well as the respective challenges of management and distribution and the search for coherent approaches. The aim is to establish an international framework for fair, coherent and sustainable resource politics at the national, regional and global level.Project
