When the challenge is huge and its
evolution unpredictable, the best approach is to concentrate all the efforts on
containment. You limit the fire as much as possible. That means reducing the
impact of the challenge and look for ways and means of controlling it. It also
implies we mobilise everyone that can be called upon. The issue concerns everyone
and each person can play a role in addressing it. That must be the message the
leaders should bring forward. The collective effort. It’s a phase by phase combat
but it is also part of a broader plan to resolve it. That must be said and
repeated until every citizen gets to understand what is at play and the direction
the leaders are taking.
This time the challenge is unique,
profound and global. It requires a good combination of local actions and
international cooperation. It concerns all nations. As such, we must put a much
stronger emphasis on a concerted response. That emphasis and that type of
action are still missing. Those who have the authority to call for that must
act now. They have to move beyond their current timidity. Hesitation is not
acceptable.
