Christiana Figueres spells it out.

This woman gets it - and the world is (in parts) taking notice. We live in interesting times.

"Growth"?

I suppose she feels obliged to include that little turd of a word, though it's not needed.

If any action is to be successful, then growth has to be relegated to division four. If action is successful, then any "growth" is a bonus, not an aim nor a means.

As with all life, it's a question of priorities.

Yes, did you notice how her voice dropped as uttered the G-word through gritted teeth? I think she has about the trickiest job on the planet, steering people out of their comfort zones and into saving humanity.

'Comfort zone'. 'Zoned out'. Funny that.
