Bali Conference quotes:

At the high-level event on climate change in New York in September, world leaders called for a breakthrough in Bali. This is your chance to live up to what the leaders have been calling for. If we leave Bali without such a breakthrough, we will not only have failed our leaders, but also those who look to us to find solutions, namely, the peoples of this world.

This is the moral challenge of our generation. Not only are the eyes of the world upon us. More important, succeeding generations depend on us. We cannot rob our children of their future.
-- Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general

Every nation must become part of the solution, not part of the problem.
-- Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Indonesian president

We must make the leap forward or be condemned to the Planet Of The Apes.
-- Yvo de Boer, Head of the UN climate secretariat

For Australians, climate change is no longer a distant threat. Our rivers are dying, bushfires are more ferocious and more frequent and our natural wonders -- the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu, our rainforests -- are now at risk.
-- Kevin Rudd, Australian Prime Minister
