WWF is a global organization acting locally through a network of family offices. All these offices do all they can to halt the accelerating destruction of our natural world.
The review of the Rio agreements in 1997 concluded that all unsustainable trends are worsening at a faster rate. Many of these problems are driven by increased economic activity, which has not been matched by adequate regulatory action.
