To prevent human civilisation from more environmental damage than it might be able to endure, the authors call on world leaders to consider policies that they deem unconventional. Only more extreme economic and behavioural changes will allow the world to achieve all 17 Sustainable Development Goals together.
~Club of Rome 2018

Accountability

“We have to understand the emergency of the situation. Our leadership has failed us. Young people must hold older generations accountable for the mess they have created. We need to get angry, and transform that anger into action.” ~Greta Thunberg (age 16), Swedish Activist

The problem

“The generation that destroys the environment is not the generation that pays the price. That is the problem.” ~ Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
