comments where at all it's with those of us president donald trump who's accused of crimes activist pessimism. earlier our davos reporter gaited spoke about the issue of sustainability with an out of the u.n. development program he asked him how companies are transitioning to a low carbon economy. i don't think we should pretend that the transition to a low carbon economy suspends the laws of basic economics if you haven't got the money you can afford something but i think what has gone wrong in the last 10 years is that our financial markets are regulated as the established players in the industry have totally disregarded that which science and increasing also economy cannot economists have shown us namely that the cost of inaction is going to be an affordable and today we are in a world where new energy production in many parts of the world is almost at parity with fossil fuels that's also why you see here in davos this year many of the main players in the financial system and the financial markets beginning to look at
10:24 pm
investments into the future a low carbon economy something that is not only relevant but increasingly going to drive the decision making some of the major head fund some of the major insurance companies banks are now putting literally billions of dollars of euros into that future economy that is premised on low carbon technologies so indebtedness with an old technology that may even become a stranded asset is much more dangerous for an economy or for business than investing in a low carbon future more sustainable energy infrastructure and yet we had a very important voice that of donald trump here in davos who probably doesn't care that much about that danger at least that's what we perceived however listening to his speech many of the things he told it sound pretty much in line with the sustainable development goals we're talking about taking people out of poverty with his strategy or the best environmental record the u.s. has ever had according to his own words so isn't perhaps that the way to go is that pitch valid in your opinion look we have 7000000000 people on this planet that we
10:25 pm
will find different ways towards understanding what the future brings but also what we should do and i think the best way to respond to the speech by head of state of a country that has chosen to say we want to invest in fossil fuels we don't want to be part of a global effort to address climate change is to. say well let's in the sens drive the discussion as it continues in the united states and there are many in the united states who actually do not necessarily support that kind of approach at the state level secondly let the markets judge that policy and who knows in the court of history he may be proven to be right or he may be proven to have committed a major error in judgment and i think it is principally for the american people to decide that but ultimately the global community does need the united states to be a part of the global effort to address climate change so the fact that president tom committed to actually bring the united states to support the partner of a trillion trees it's a step and hopefully a signal so that there remains room for corporation and not confrontation alone i'm
