‘At a macro level, our task this century is to adapt to the changes we have set in motion, minimize further adverse changes and restore natural systems where we can. If this assessment is correct, climate change and sustainable development will increasingly become not only the focus of a new global security imperative but also the new global economic locomotive.’
Extract, Letter to the Editor, Financial Times, 20 December 2006
