“The classic definition of sustainability came out of a landmark report from the United Nations. In 1987, the UN defined sustainable development as ‘meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’.”

“The evidence is clear: to save the world’s coral reefs we need to stop climate change.”

“Air pollution is one of the world’s biggest killers. Researchers estimate that it kills at least 9 million people every year. That’s 450 times more than die in natural disasters in most years.”

“Economic growth is not incompatible with reducing our environmental impact”

Hannah Ritchie
“I used to think optimists were naive and pessimists were smart. Pessimism seemed like an essential feature of a scientist: the basis of science is to challenge every result, to pick theories apart to see which one stands up. I thought cynicism was one of its founding principals. Maybe there is some truth in that. But science is inherently optimistic too. How else would we describe the willingness to try experiments over and over, often with slim odds of success? Scientific progress can be frustratingly slow: the best minds can dedicate their entire lives to a single question and come away with nothing. They do so with the hope that a breakthrough is around the corner. The odds drop to zero if they give up.”
