And think of how we challenged the idea of a male dominated Parliament with All-Women shortlists and made the cause of gender equality central to our government. We were right to do so.

We have to restore power to the family to the neighborhood and the community with a non-market principle a principle of equality of charity of let's-take-care-of-one-another. That's the creative challenge.

U.N. Women was created due to the acknowledgement that gender equality and women's empowerment was still despite progress far from what it should be. Transforming political will and decisions such as the Member States creating U.N. Women into concrete steps towards gender equality and women's empowerment I think is one of the main challenges.

Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty promoting sustainable development and building good governance.

And secondly I would impose a significant state landfill tipping fee and use that tipping fee to fund the billion dollar bond issue that I want to create to produce the funds for all of the environmental challenges that we just went over.

A fascinating challenge facing today's environmental movement is how to best approach the reversal of past decisions that altered once-pristine environmental spaces for the sake of urgent man-made needs.

The main environmental challenge of the 21st century is poverty. When you don't know where your next meal is coming from it's hard to consider the environment 100 years down the line.

Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill and I know it's a challenge to the moral imagination.

I tell young people to prepare themselves as best they can for a world that grows more challenging every day-get the best education they can and couple that education with real-life experience in social justice work.

Education technology is very important because we have a massive challenge in public schools.
