... "It's important for us to understand that without an understanding of the role of humanities, the social sciences and the arts, we will not be able to pivot towards the sort of revolutionary changes in our behaviour, in our technology, in our outlook about what we need to do individually and collectively to create a more sustainable world."...

… “one of the conclusions we came to is that science is what’s going to save the world but humanities is why it’s worth saving!”...
