20. The modelling conducted for the 2013 study produced larger budgets than

probabilities of limiting warming to a two degree scenario (2DS)

27. The One Percent doctrine
‘If there's a 1% chance
that Pakistani scientists
are helping al-Qaeda
build or develop a
nuclear weapon, we
have to treat it as a
certainty in terms of our
response. It's not about
our analysis ... It's about
our response.’
Dick Cheney, 2001

economic, environmental and social value
• more value is generated if it is driven by a compelling
sustainability vision accompanied by the monitoring of
performance relative to that vision
‘How much closer to sustainable success are we?’
is a much better question than:
‘How much less unsustainable are we?’

56. People need more than to be scolded,
more than to be made to feel stupid and
guilty. They need more than a vision of
doom. They need a vision of the world and
of themselves that inspires them.
From Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn,
1992
