Bono and Al Gore Discuss Poverty and Climate Change in Davos

01.24.08

Bono and Al Gore took part in a panel discussion today at the World Economic Forum on the connection between the fight against extreme poverty and climate change. The conversation was moderated by New York Times columnist Tom Friedman. Following the panel Bono said:

“Al Gore has been nothing short of heroic in his fight to wake us all up to the consequences of global warming and what we can do about it. His vision, depth of knowledge and commitment have literally transformed the way we think about our own personal choices and those our governments make. I am humbled by his comments today and blown away by the possibility of what we can achieve by working together on behalf of the poorest people on the planet.”
