The United Nations Scientific Conference on the Conservation and Utilization of Resources will open a three weeks session, from August 17 to September 6, at Lake Success. The immediate object of the conference is to take a first step in mobilizing techniques for making better use of the world’s resources. UNSCCUR will draw from the talents, techniques, and experience of scientists and experts from all over the world, who will exchange ideas and pool information on how natural resources can best be used to provide a higher world standard of living. The discussions will be carried out against the background of an urgent need for increased use of resources demanded by a rapidly growing world population.
