VERBATIM

  • "Using sustainable development
    to eradicate poverty is the way
    to go."

    Ms Amina J Mohammed
  • "Sustainable development requires doubling the rate of energy efficiency and the share
    of renewables in energy sector."

    Dr Kandeh K Yumkella
  • "Articulation of a problem is
    vital; people connect with water
    issues, but glaze over the
    melting of a glacier."

    Ms Naina Lal Kidwai
  • "We can't think of water as a onetime commodity; it has to
    be seen as a whole, as a
    water cycle."

    Dr Bindu N Lohani
