There are moments in time when global threats arise, and when action is imperative. One of the major risks to the security of people around the world is climate change.
 
Never has there been a greater need for inspiring leadership to protect and defend our future against the rising threat of climate change.
 
We know that our world’s temperature is now rising unusually fast. Climate change has the potential to threaten millions of lives, the capacity of the world to feed itself, the availability of fresh water, the control and spread of disease, the survival of species, the direction in which our oceans flow and the severity of our weather.
 
The choice is before us: Do we sit and wait for climate change to get worse, or do we draw on our heritage of innovation and resilience to help prevent the worst-case scenarios of climate change from occurring?
