Sustainability is the key to our survival on this planet and will also determine success on all levels.

Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice, exercise environmental stewardship and strengthen governance.

It's obvious that the key problem facing humanity in the coming century is how to bring a better quality of life - for 8 billion or more people - without wrecking the environment entirely in the attempt.

All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.

If there's a sustainable job that will create sustainable value, people will hire for it.

What pleases me most is that sustainable development is on almost everybody's agenda now.

Economic growth and human development need to go hand in hand. Human values need to be advocated vigorously.

We don't know yet how to build a society which is environmentally sustainable, which is shareable with everybody on the planet, which promotes stability and democracy and human rights, and which is achievable in the time-frame necessary to make it through the challenges we face.

Sustainable development is a fundamental break that's going to reshuffle the entire deck. There are companies today that are going to dominate in the future simply because they understand that.
