Quotes
[11:00] - "We're at this inflection point in the world where, especially coming out of the COVID 19 pandemic, I think there's this enhanced sense of collaboration that if we tackle this pandemic, we can tackle the next big challenges for the world. And that certainly is looking like climate change." - Jay Jacobs
