Abstract

In many ways, we have entered one of the most creative phases in human history, where science, technology and communications advance at breathtaking speed and offer unmatched opportunities for political consensus and responsible change. We have new tools at our disposal, and vastly increased understanding that our strength lies in working together to overcome the threats facing our plant. The actions we take and investments we make in the decades ahead will determine both our own evolution and that of future generations. Our fates are interwined. We owe it to each other, and to our children and their children, to combine forces and ensure a sustainable future on earth.
