We learned that economic growth and environmental protection can and should go hand in hand.

I think the government has to reposition environment on top of their national and international priorities.

I think today we recognize that economic activity needs to search for ways to protect the environment.

Good environmental policy is good economic policy.

The growth that we want is one that brings real benefits to the people, raises quality and efficiency of development, and contributes to energy conservation and environmental protection.

If our economies are to flourish, if global poverty is to be banished, and if the wellbeing of the world's people enhanced - not just in this generation but in succeeding generations - we must make sure we take care of the natural environment and resources on which our economic activity depends.

Economic growth and environmental protection are not at odds. They're opposite sides of the same coin if you're looking at longer-term prosperity.

I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments.

I think it's important to watch out for our environment and to be careful.

I think achieving a higher fiscal stability is also a very important condition for restoring an environment which is conducive to growth.
