As the biggest historic contributors to carbon emissions, it's our responsibility in high-income countries to lead the charge on climate change. We have the resources and the technology to make significant changes and to support lower-income countries in their sustainable development.

Maintaining a stockpile of essentials is a critical aspect of being prepared for emergencies. We've seen with the COVID-19 pandemic how quickly supplies can run out. It's not just about having the stockpile, but also about having the right logistics to deploy it effectively when needed.

Investing in disaster prevention is essential. We must prioritize global health security and climate change mitigation to protect our future.

To combat climate change, we need to consider all the tools in the toolbox. Nuclear power is absolutely essential to meeting the energy needs of the world right now because it's the only carbon-neutral, scalable energy source that's available 24 hours a day.

I believe nuclear energy is essential to achieving deep decarbonization of our power supply. It's one of the only carbon-free, scalable energy sources that's available 24 hours a day.

Preparing for rare but catastrophic disasters is crucial to safeguarding lives, infrastructure, and the economy. Investing resources in proactive measures can mitigate the impacts and save lives in the long run.

I strongly believe that fostering personal development is key to creating a better global society. When individuals grow and learn, they can contribute more to their communities and the world at large, leading to greater innovation and collaboration to solve our most pressing challenges.

I believe we should seriously consider using gene drives to eliminate malaria-carrying mosquito species. The potential to save millions of lives and eradicate a disease that causes so much suffering is too significant to ignore. Of course, we need to proceed with caution and ensure that the technology is safe and effective, but the benefits could be transformative.

Spain's abundant sunshine makes it an ideal candidate for solar energy leadership. With investment in technology and infrastructure, it could become a renewable powerhouse for Europe.

I believe that creating new international cooperation cities which freely permit all immigration can foster innovation, diversity, and economic growth. These cities could become hubs for collaboration and problem-solving, drawing on the strengths and talents of people from all over the world. To make this vision successful, we need to ensure that these cities have the necessary infrastructure, resources, and governance to handle the influx of immigrants and provide opportunities for everyone.

While chlorine in tap water kills pathogens, it can react with organic material to produce potentially harmful byproducts. I believe additional filtering can further reduce contaminants and improve water quality for better health outcomes.

I believe that increasing carbon taxes is an effective tool to tackle climate change. It incentivizes innovation in clean energy and helps shift the economic burden towards those who emit the most carbon.

Wind energy is a critical part of a zero-carbon energy future. Its scalability and decreasing costs make it an essential component of our energy mix, complementing other forms of clean energy to address climate change.

We should stop using petrol to combat climate change and transition to cleaner energy sources like electric vehicles and renewable energy.

I believe that privatization, when properly managed and regulated, can drive efficiency and innovation in the water sector. It can attract significant private investment and expertise, which can lead to improved water management and conservation technologies, ensuring sustainable water resources for the future.

I believe governments should subsidize carbon sequestration through widespread agricultural biochar use. This method not only helps in capturing carbon but also improves soil health, which is a win-win for both the environment and agriculture. Supporting such initiatives aligns with our broader goals of combating climate change and promoting sustainable practices.
