I believe that the United States has a moral and economic imperative to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Jeff Van Drew

We now know that climate action does not require economic sacrifice. This is fully in line with the World Bank Group's findings. It is up to all of us to make smart policy choices that will help combat climate change. For example, putting a price on carbon is a necessary step and could drive resources and investments to a cleaner economy.

Sri Mulyani Indrawati

There is a movement of more people recognizing global warming as a danger, recognizing the human contribution to global warming, recognizing the necessity for doing something about it. So there's a trend in that direction, and that trend is consistent with what a climate swerve - which is, as we're both saying, a mindset.

Robert Jay Lifton

From building a fire one can learn something about artistic composition. If you use only small kindling and large logs, the fire will quickly eat up the small pieces but will not become strong enough to attack the large ones. You must supply a scale of sizes from the smallest to the largest. The human eye also will not make its way into a painting or building unless a continuum of shapes leads from the small to the large, from the large to the small.

Rudolf Arnheim

We should raise fierce flames of innovations in the vanguard sectors, basic industrial sectors, and all other sectors of the national economy.

Kim Jong-un

It is common to speak of the economic opportunities tackling climate change represents, and there is a lot of truth to this: rapid decarbonisation offers a profound economic opportunity to revive our productivity and reshape our economy as part of a green jobs revolution.

Clive Lewis

We're mathematically past the point where the accumulation of individual actions can add up quickly enough to make a difference. The individual action that actually matters is not being an individual. It's joining together with other people in groups large enough to change the political dynamic around climate change.

Bill McKibben

We see China as a large market opportunity with similar cyclical economic cycles that occur throughout every economy.

Douglas Leone

Early childhood education is an urgent educational, economic and moral imperative. Without it, we face a long-term national economic security crisis.

J. B. Pritzker

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. Something happened at large, they just gave up. They were like, 'I'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' We could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, American.

Demetri Martin

But all of this action goes on in the dark, hidden underground. It’s called stealing or piracy, as if sharing a wealth of knowledge were the moral equivalent of plundering a ship and murdering its crew. But sharing isn’t immoral - it’s a moral imperative. Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy.

Aaron Swartz

It's not about one person doing one big thing ... It's about a lot of people doing small things that really make the difference.

Kevin Jonas

But if we keep doing politics the way we're doing politics, and we keep doing climate action the way we're doing climate action, we will not have a history that judges us because we, certainly as a civilization, won't be here.

Elizabeth May

I vote because it's what small-d democracy is about. Because there are places where people fight for generations and stand for hours to cast a ballot knowing what we ought to remember: that it makes a difference. Not always a big difference. Not always an immediate difference. But a difference.

Ellen Goodman

Human-induced climate change is a scientific reality, and its effective control is a moral imperative for humanity.

Betsy Hodges

The U.K. has been at the forefront of developing the climate change policy architecture that can ensure climate action is integrated into economic decision making.

Ed Davey
