Quotable Moments
“Environmental information arguably underpins most, if not all aspects of the different sectors of our economy. All of these sectors intersect with our earth system one way or another. They consume resources. They affect the resources, they affect our spheres, which in turn affects human health. So you can start to note how environmental data is the beginning or the underpinning component of, if you ask me, all aspects of our life on planet Earth. ” – Jenny Dissen
“My goal is to use technology to try to do something about this so that my kids don’t run into this climate anxiety, because that’s one of the biggest issues.” – Katie Kearns
“I think the greatest investment that can be made right now would be to build bridges between government and private industry, because this is a way to solve this climate issue that’s facing us all. This is not something that the government alone is going to be able to do. This is not something that academia by publishing papers is going to just be, oh, obviously, this is the way forward. And this is not something that private industry, left alone, is going to solve either.” – Dr. Edward Kearns
