We are living in a period where the risks of disruption in social , ecological and economic systems are both evident and eminent. The shocks rocking the globe in this decade are congruent. Financial heart attack, food price rollercoaster, and disasters looming with climate change. (iied 2010)Green economy respects people and planet, it does not sell out the
future to pay for the present
The most viable path is to tackle Climate Change and its effects through responsible resource extraction, utilization and consumption.

Global warming is real. It is happening today. It is being charted by our satellites. It is being charted by our scientists. It is being charted by those of us in this body, and I think the real key is if we are ready to admit that fact and take the action to make the necessary conversion.Dianne Feinstein
