ours ours no errors

Explanation:

The word "Ours'" is incorrect. "Ours" is a possessive pronoun (first - person plural possessive) and does not require an apostrophe. "Our's" is also incorrect as the possessive pronoun "ours" does not use an apostrophe - "our's" would incorrectly imply a contraction or a misused possessive form. The correct form is "Ours" as it is a possessive pronoun used to refer to the generation that belongs to us.

Answer:

As secretary - general of the United Nations, Ban Ki - moon said, "Ours is the first generation that can end poverty, and the last that can take steps to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."
