Our commitment must be as strong as our greatest needs require.

The programme is designed to realize our long term energy requirements utilizing our vast thorium resources.

Our action must be as urgent as the need, and on the same scale.

We are also determined to continue to work at the international level with a view to stepping up our mobilization to meet their needs and legitimate aspirations.

We continue to need the cooperation and assistance of friendly countries to supplement our resources, which still fall short of our needs.

In such a world, energy security can no longer be summed up as greater energy independence.

We'll continue to test, amend and adapt in response to usability issues we encounter and feedback we receive after launch, and also in response to editorial and community needs.

These are the people that define the requirements of the technology, and these are the people that have to give the thumbs up at the end, and say, Yeah, it actually works. It meets our needs.

And we learnt how to be human, we learnt to organize our needs we learnt that there are always worse situations than ours, and and that nothing in life should be taken for granted.

While existing staff must have reasonable opportunities to develop within the Organization we cannot continue to rely on the same pool of people to address all our new needs.

Now as a closing thought, I believe we're actually in a period where we're waking up from this humongous hangover of emptiness and waste, and we're taking a leap to create a more sustainable system built to serve our innate needs for community and individual identity.

In that context, we appeal to the international community, especially the donor countries and agencies, to increase official development assistance (ODA) and to facilitate greater flows of foreign direct investment to the landlocked developing countries, so as to enable us to meet our special development needs.

Even with optimistic assumptions, the International Energy Agency estimates that, by 2035, we will produce just 2.4 of our energy from wind and 0.8 from solar.

This narrative of decline and pessimism underlies much of today s environmental discourse, and is often formulated in a simple fashion by 2030, we will need two planets to sustain us, owing to higher living standards and population growth.

When the Human Genome Project published the first draft of the fully sequenced human genome in 2000, Henry Gee, an editor of the journal Nature, predicted that scientists would be able to alter entire organisms out of all recognition to suit our needs and tastes by 2099.

We draw it, use it, throw it away, most often back into rivers or oceans.

Our action must be as urgent as the need, and on the same scaleOnly by acting decisively now can we both confront the pressing security challenges and win a decisive victory in the global battle against poverty by 2015 . (A 59 2005, para.
