HSH the Sovereign Prince concluded the evening by recalling, “To reunite goodwill in the service of our common future, we must of course go beyond international bodies, beyond government decisions, beyond all these projects that we drive. 

“We must involve everyone, as we do today. We must identify, propose and promote concrete and shared solutions, like those of the laureates we have just honoured […] I think especially, more widely, the invention of a new model, more innovative, more virtuous, more sustainable, serving the planet and the quality of life, serving our contemporaries and serving our children.”
