I am interested in scale. It is central to meaningful change, in whatever topic you are discussing. But, it is particularly relevant to the sustainability discussion, partly because of the size of the challenge, but also given the time constraints we are working within.
It is in this light that I saw this quote, from the article in the url below, discussing the effort at COP 29 to generate sufficient financing (from developed to developing economies) to begin tackling climate change worldwide:
"Getting from billions to trillions is a big deal. To give you an idea, one billion minutes will take up just over 1,900 years. One trillion minutes lasts for nearly 2 million years."
No matter how many times I read that, it still blows my mind.
Take care
