Sir David Attenborough, 92, used an award acceptance speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday to urge business leaders and governments to come up with 'practical solutions'. The Blue Planet and Dynasties narrator said he was born during the Holocene period, a time of stability that let human societies prosper. The naturalist told the WEF: ‘I was born during the Holocene - the 12,000 year period of climatic stability that allowed humans to settle, farm, and create civilisations. In the space of my lifetime, all that has changed.’ The 92-year-old said the world is changing at a rapid pace and urged business leaders and politicians to 'get on with practical tasks.' He added: ‘The Holocene has ended. The Garden of Eden is no more. We have changed the world so much that scientists say we are in a new geological age. We need to move beyond guilt or blame, and get on with the practical tasks at hand.'
