During the final question-and-answer portion, when asked whether she agreed with Bill Gates' view that resources should be redirected from fighting climate change to addressing disease and hunger, Puškinová declined to choose between tackling environmental issues and social problems like disease and hunger. She emphasized that these challenges are interconnected and impact everyone globally. She believes that unity is essential in solving both climate change and hunger simultaneously.
