Ladies and gentlemen:
I’m honored to be speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative. The CGI has become one of the world’s most important forums for creating solutions to its most pressing problems. This year’s meeting focuses the global conscience at a significant moment for our planet. The challenges are daunting: climate change, refugees from areas of conflict, hunger, disease, and the access of every child to a quality education.
