“I believe that today’s most important problems—such as climate change, natural resource depletion, habitat loss, global hunger, poverty—aren’t constrained by arbitrary state borders, and so in order to work towards sustainable solutions, it’s crucial to promote global collaboration as well as engagement of a wide variety of opinions and diverse voices.”
