A picture of Gus Speth, an older white man wearing glasses. He is smiling.
Alongside is the quotation:
”We scientists don’t know how to do that”
”I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change.
I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems.
But I was wrong.
The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy…
…and to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural transformation.
— and we scientists don’t know how to do that.”
