"The global development and climate change communities must do more than learn from each other; they must work with each other to succeed—or risk failure apart. For choices surrounding climate will greatly determine the fate of the poor, just as choices on the path out of poverty will greatly influence the fate of the climate. Increasingly, climate and development are two sides of the same coin.” (Lael Brainard).
