I think it's important not to be overwhelmed by the numbers and the size of the problem. We're not going to fix this problem at this UN conference, but we have a unique opportunity to make some progress, to begin to set some standards that can then be carried forward. I think it gives us a step forward that we can carry forward and begin to tackle this. It's an overwhelming problem, but we have to move forward, and here we have a unique opportunity.
