Unless we take action on climate change, future generations will be roasted, toasted, fried and grilled.

If climate change issues are not adequately addressed—if we keep running those nice energy subsidies, if the price on carbon is not adequately set, if policymakers don’t have it on their radar screens—then financial stability in the medium and long-term is clearly at stake.

Improved productivity is another direct benefit of globalization.

Our fortunes rise together, and they fall together. 'All men are brothers,' said the Analects. We have a collective responsibility-to bring about a more stable and more prosperous world, a world in which every person in every country can reach their full potential.

Women, as the minority, have to prove their worth all the time. That's the reason we tend to over-prepare, over-study, over-anticipate. I think it's the case with many women leaders. We tend to over do it.

Countries like Canada, Korea, China, Germany can and should use fiscal space. Some of them are doing it, not all.

When women do better, economies do better.
