“The tentacles of power today remain almost as it was a century ago. If, my friends, we do not create the space and the new voices are not heard, we will not secure the transformation needed to save people and to save the planet. What the world needs now is a reset. What the world needs now is a little more love.”

“We can change this global governance system. We can change the structure and focus of the international financial system. We can make both fit for purpose for the majority of world's people, not just a few. It doesn't require new technologies. It requires action and humanity, accepting that we are human together, that we are because of each other, and that we can, in this generation, secure the future of human progress.”
