  1. Next Steps Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. Niels Bohr

  2. Challenges The Guardian

  3. Challenges ….carbon dioxide emissions are rising. There is very little argument that this will produce rises in temperature and sea levels with mostly deleterious effects on ecosytems, food and water supplies, and human communities. …it will be neither solved nor even helped by protestors who think that it is big and clever to splatter ministers…throwing custards pies is what clowns do. The Times 7 March

  4. Challenges Climate change is the greatest market failure the world has ever seen… …..need to inform, educate and persuade individuals about what they can do to respond to climate change Nicholas Stern (The economics of climate change)

  5. Challenges The public is torn between competing and conflicting mindsets. As citizens they want to avert climate change but, at the same time, as consumers they want to go on holiday, own a second home, a big car and the latest electronic goods. They acknowledge their collective responsibilities but guard jealously their personal rights and freedoms The IPSOS MORI and Social Research Unit report

  6. Issues You will find that the State is the kind of organisation which, although it does big things badly, does small things badly, too. JK Galbraith

  7. Issues For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. Richard Feynman There is an evil tendency underlying all our technology – the tendency to do what is reasonable even when it isn’t any good. Robert Pirsig

  8. Issues Sustainable Development is the only thing that stands between us and an utterly miserable descent into ecological collapse, resource wars, worsening inequity and social implosion Attr. Jonathan Porritt

  9. What should campuses do? Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe HG Wells

  10. What should campuses do? An affirmative corporate social agenda moves from mitigating harm to reinforcing corporate strategy through social progress Organisations that make the right choices and build focused, proactive and integrated social initiatives in concert with their core strategies will increasingly distance themselves from the pack Michael Porter, HBR December 2006

  11. What should campuses do? For myself I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use being anything else. Winston Churchill

  12. What should campuses do? The future is another country – We’ll do things differently there Apologies to LP Hartley

  13. What should campuses do? You’ve got your passion, you’ve got your pride; But don’t you know that only fools are satisfied; Dream On, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true Billy Joel, Vienna
