“The world is much better; the world is still awful; the world can do much better.’10 All three statements are true.”
Hannah Ritchie, Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet

“Rosling explained what the data really told us about the most important metrics of human well-being: the percentage of people living in extreme poverty, the number of children dying, how many girls did or didn’t get to go to school, and what percentage of children are vaccinated against diseases. We almost never step back to look at the data on these changes in global development.”
Hannah Ritchie, Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet

“The classic definition of sustainability came out of a landmark report from the United Nations. In 1987, the UN defined sustainable development as ‘meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’.”
Hannah Ritchie, Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet
