I have to change my attitude first. And then, I have to figure out how to be contagious about that. - Christiana Figueres

Whatever we hold as being possible, and whatever values and principles we live by, determine the actions that we take.

We are now at the most critical crossroads in the history of humanity.

Educating young women and empowering women to come to decision-making tables is the strongest thing that we can do for the climate. When there are more women in boardrooms and in high-level positions in institutions, you get decisions that are wiser and longer term. Of course there are many men that also do this. But there is a tendency for women to be more collaborative, which is the basis of what we need to do, and they tend to think much more long term. [Women] have the first duty of care of our newborn children and hence, biologically, we’re geared towards that stewardship. But it is just plain stupid, frankly, not to use 50% of human potential. We are in such an emergency that we need to deploy 100% of our potential.
