Nicholas Stern Quotes

Give up meat to save the planet Picture Quote #1

Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen...We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world wars of the last century Picture Quote #1

Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better Picture Quote #1

My father’s generation’s crisis was fighting fascism. Ours is fighting climate change. It is much harder because you can’t see it, it is not an obvious threat. But the solution is in our hands Picture Quote #1

We will not overcome world poverty unless we manage climate change successfully. I’ve spent my life as a development economist, and it’s crystal clear that we succeed or fail on winning the battle against world poverty and managing climate change together. If we fail on one, we fail on the other Picture Quote #1

Climate change will affect the basic elements of life for people around the world - access to water, food production, health, and the environment. Hundreds of millions of people could suffer hunger, water shortages and coastal flooding as the world warms Picture Quote #1

We can look back through ice-core data and see over 800,000 years, relationships between carbon dioxide and the temperature of the world. So those people who deny the importance of climate change are just wasting their time. They’re also being diversionary because if we don’t act the risks are enormous Picture Quote #1

The greenhouse effect is something you can observe experimentally - and most people have observed the greenhouse effect themselves, in greenhouses. Yes? Picture Quote #1

It’s very important that there should be cross-fertilisation between government and academia. Both parties can benefit from having a better understanding of how the other works Picture Quote #1

I think that once people understand the great risks that climate change poses, they will naturally want to choose products and services that cause little or no emissions of greenhouse gases, which means ‘low-carbon consumption.’ This will apply across the board, including electricity, heating, transport and food Picture Quote #1

A diet that relies heavily on meat production results in higher emissions than a typical vegetarian diet. Different individuals will make different choices. However, the debate about climate change should not be dumbed down to a single slogan, such as ‘give up meat to save the planet Picture Quote #1

Looking back, I underestimated the risks. The planet and the atmosphere seem to be absorbing less carbon than we expected, and emissions are rising pretty strongly. Some of the effects are coming through more quickly than we thought then Picture Quote #1

This [climate change] is potentially so dangerous that we have to act strongly. Do we want to play Russian roulette with two bullets or one? Picture Quote #1

Climate change represents the greatest and widest-ranging market failure ever seen Picture Quote #1

Adaptation is the only means to reduce the now-unavoidable costs of climate change over the next few decades Picture Quote #1

I think it’s important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating. I am 61 now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food Picture Quote #1

Adaptation is a vital part of a response to the challenge of climate change Picture Quote #1

The one way of guaranteeing to fail is to assume that we will Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really had much of a career plan, and interesting opportunities kept cropping up Picture Quote #1

... what we are talking about is extended world war... People would move on a massive scale. Hundreds of millions, probably billions of people would have to move Picture Quote #1

Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen... We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world wars of the last century Picture Quote #1

If you look at all the serious scientists in the world, there is no big disagreement on the basics of this... it would be absolute lunacy to act as if climate change is not occurring Picture Quote #1

There is still time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, if we take strong action now Picture Quote #1

The scientific evidence is now overwhelming: climate change presents very serious global risks, and it demands an urgent global response Picture Quote #1

Adaptation can efficiently reduce the costs of climate change while atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are being stabilised Picture Quote #1

As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn’t make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists Picture Quote #1

Climate change and global poverty are two sides of the same coin. Both challenges must be addressed together. If we fail on one, we will also fail on the other Picture Quote #1

How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not surprisingly, the loudest voices are not scientific, and it is remarkable how many economists, lawyers, journalists and politicians set themselves up as experts on the science Picture Quote #1

My father’s generation’s crisis was fighting fascism. Ours is fighting climate change. It is much harder because you can’t see it, it is not an obvious threat. But the solution is in our hands Picture Quote #1

The basic scientific conclusions on climate change are very robust and for good reason. The greenhouse effect is simple science: greenhouse gases trap heat, and humans are emitting ever more greenhouse gases Picture Quote #1
