First panel:

10:40 Bono, Queen Rania (of Jordan), Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Liberia), Neville Isdell (Coke CEO), and Al Gore take stage.

10:43 Clinton: Gore’s (Alliance for Climate Protection’s “We Campaign”) climate ads best he’s ever seen. What do y’all think of these ads?

10:45 Queen Rania discusses her efforts in education, and how everyone in Jordan now feels they all have a stake in the education process. They are all involved.  Dramatic positive results in the country.  How can we make every American feel they have a vested interest in our climate and a clean energy future?

10:52 Clinton calls Ellen Johnson Sirleaf a genius at getting people to do twice as much as they thought they could.  She responds by saying: “thanks, Bill” (ha!) She’s taken a failed economy and crisis state back to a place of growth and international good standing and is repairing enviroment from agriculture to marine life.  Incredble leader. She can call Bill whatever she wants.

10:57 Sirleaf talks about new job training and new areas of innovation - particularly girls - in Liberia. Green jobs for Africa?!

10:59 3.4 Million people in Liberia.  Clinton: We’re all struggling to find models that work… (he) believes we should look at implementing projects on limited scale and break efforts down into discreet population groups (like Liberia) to find successes that can scale.  Wants to look at how we can show measurable results that can have dramatic scale.  What are some of the projects that are being taken on on this scale in regard to clean energy and climate change?

Give us your thoughts so we can ask more questions of these world leaders throughout the next few days!
