“It is in cities and municipalities that sustainable development is made reality. Malmö is an example of a city that demonstrates progress at grassroots level over the last 20 years – at a time when international climate negotiations have stood still.”
Ilmar Reepalu, Commissioner of the city of Malmö
“Not everyone finds it obvious that climate and environmental issues are connected to fighting poverty. We know that this exhibition will spur that debate and insight into life.”
Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, Director-General of Sida
“Environmental and climate impacts are a threat created mainly by people. The new Hard Rain exhibition dovetails with what we must do politically in preparation for the 2012 environmental summit in Rio. The goal is sustainable, inclusive green growth that eliminates poverty.”
Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for Development Assistance at the opening of the 2011 Almedalen political week
