Bij de persconferentie over de watercommissie deed zij o.a. de volgende uitspraken (citaten onder de video):

• 16:03 ‘did we actually manage to vaccinate everyone in the world? No’ … ‘Water is a global common’ ..(16:25) ‘Water is something that people understand. You know, climate change is a bit abstract’ .. ‘There is also something about really getting citizen engagement around this and really in some ways experimenting with this notion of the common good. Can we actually deliver this time in ways that we have failed miserably other times’
• 7:16 ‘.. the new economic thinking’.. ‘the role of government.. as a market co-creator and a market shaper in this system’.. ‘getting rid of this public-private divide. This is gonna require huge amounts of collaboration, huge amounts of co-investments and finance and how to design that with the common good lens is one of the really innovative things that this group is gonna provide.‘
• 8:23 ‘There’s gonna be some real changes that will have to be made to business models, to the way governments work, to the way they relate one to another‘
