UN's Robinson: Momentum building toward climate pact
The upcoming Climate Summit should spur action toward a climate change pact next year, says Mary Robinson, United Nations climate envoy. "I think we need to talk in terms of transformation, of change -- it's not business as usual with a bit of green attached. That won't do it," she argues. Thomson Reuters Foundation (9/11)

Ebola crisis shows need for sustainable health care programs
The global response to Ebola is overlooking the need for developing a health care infrastructure for the longer term, says Ezekiel Emanuel. "One of the big issues of this outbreak is [that] people don't trust the health care system. They view going to the health care system as sort of consigning someone to die," he argues.
