Wallace Global Fund

Sustainable Consumption

The Wallace Global Fund is exploring strategies to promote sustainable consumption. There is growing recognition that industrial nations must reduce and shift consumption patterns to ensure that future generations have adequate resources, and that those same generations do not inherit an unmanageable amount of waste. The Fund welcomes proposals that address institutional consumption of natural resources in a creative and leveraged way.
