"History may in due course record 2019 as the year in which the penny
finally dropped about the climate emergency humanity faces. A sense of
urgency was triggered last year by both Swedish teenage climate activist
Greta Thunberg’s courage in challenging world leaders to take the crisis
seriously, and the apocalyptic fires that engulfed large parts of
Australia recently.

Increasingly, there is an understanding that the climate emergency is
not an environmental problem. It has grave ecological implications, but
it’s a human development issue above all. And, it has profound
implications for technology and infrastructure, for the world of
investment and finance, and for global security."
