9. Rapid scientific and technological progress can provide potential solutions – if adopted now – to reduce the risk of deleterious consequences for societies everywhere. But technological innovation alone will not be enough. We can transform our values {See The Earth Charter or the above description of stewardship}, beliefs {Away from Baconian faith that science can give humans the power to control nature for maximum economic development?} and aspirations towards sustainable prosperity {or Aristotelian happiness from doing the right thing rather than for maximum material wealth?}. And interconnected issues require interconnected solutions. {Or solutions that address the root cause or causes simultaneously}
