Ban Ki-moon Quotes About Prosperity

Quotes about: Prosperity

• For too long we have tried to consume our
  way to prosperity. Look at the cost: polluted
  lands and oceans, climate change, growing
  scarcity of resources from food to land to fresh
  water, rampant inequality. We need to invent a
  new model; a model that offers growth and social inclusion... that is more respectful of the
  planet's finite resources. Nature has been kind
  to human beings, but we have not been kind to
  nature.

• There can be no solution to the challenge of climate change that is not global. But if we can come together in partnership, we can transform today's challenge into tomorrow's opportunity - an opportunity for green growth and sustainable prosperity... we also need a strong bottom-up push from academics and opinion-shapers such as you. Universities such as yours are founts of ideas and innovation. They are furnaces of innovation and entrepreneurship. So, send forth this word.
