“The one thing we know about the future is that it will be different. If we do nothing, we will be hit by devastating impacts and unmanageable adaptation needs. If we choose to act to avoid the worst, the mitigation will have to be very significant, which itself will lead to major social change. Therefore, our role now is to think differently, to achieve greater clarity, to foster a greater imagination and stop saying that it is impossible. There remains real hope to instigate meaningful and timely change, but each day we choose apathy over action that hope diminishes.”
