The poorest 10 percent of global population earn only between 2 percent and 7 percent of total global income. And those 10 percent of the population are our brothers and sisters in humanity.

We cannot really go beyond our imagination in any aspect of life if we disregard half of our total population. It’s not only about going somewhere to me, to me, it’s the right thing to do.

Privileged people like us, specially living in the more developed part of the world often fail to realize the extent of hunger that exists in this world. We have our own issues and we are fighting for them; that’s a good thing. But we should not forget that there are millions of people including children who lives on almost nothing.

We need to ensure we can sustain life on the earth for as long as possible, and making sure that we can create the energy we need to survive without taking away from the earth, and creating clean energy is the start of this.

As a recreational diver, life below water amazes and fascinates me. It is very obvious under water when the health of an area is deteriorating due to human behavior. If humans can keep our oceans living sustainably, everyone benefits.

Without immediate actions to reduce greenhouse gas, our environmental impact is getting worse. Climate change could lead to catastrophic results.

Oceans are polluted with plastic. Without taking any actions at current pollution rate, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.

Living in an urban area, it's very clear that urban communities consume far more than they should and pollute far more than they should. To lower consumption and pollution, the largest impact will be on urban areas.

We're spoiled living on the west coast of Canada having most of our energy come from renewable resources, but this isn't a luxury other cities have. I'm really interested in how we can use solar and how energy storage is advancing.

Franklin Roosevelt once said, “Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us.” In other words, government & global institutions are accountable to the people and not the other way around.

Every person deserves to have basic needs met, such as shelter, food and clothing

Each one makes our society worse, creates barriers and reinforces self interested prejudice - we can be so much better, but only if we reduce inequalities everywhere.

I am passionate about ensure inclusive, equitable education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.

The more fossil fuels we use the less is remaining. It makes a huge impact on Nature and people in general, so it is better to leave a small impact or no impact at all. Solar panels, wind energy, electric cars – we all have this, so let's make it affordable to everyone.

We need to ensure we can sustain life on the earth for as long as possible, and making sure that we can create the energy we need to survive without taking away from the earth, and creating clean energy is the start of this.
