Why Climate Change Is a Threat to Human Rights | Mary Robinson | TED Talks

Translator: Petra Aquamarine Reviewer: Linda Magáthová

A question I'm often asked is,

Často sa ma pýtajú,

where did I get my passion for human rights and justice?

kedy som sa nadchla pre tému ľudských práv a spravodlivosti.

It started early.

Začalo sa to skoro.

I grew up in the west of Ireland,

Vyrastala som na západe Írska

wedged between four brothers,

medzi štyrmi bratmi, dvomi staršími a dvomi mladšími.

two older than me and two younger than me.

So of course I had to be interested in human rights,

Takže som sa musela zaujímať o ľudské práva, rovnosť, spravodlivosť

and equality and justice,

and using my elbows!

a používanie lakťov!

(Laughter)

(smiech)

And those issues stayed with me and guided me,

Tieto témy už so mnou zostali a viedli ma,

and in particular,

a to hlavne keď som sa stala prvou írskou prezidentkou

when I was elected the first woman President of Ireland,

from 1990 to 1997.

medzi rokmi 1990 a 1997.

I dedicated my presidency

Svoju prezidentskú misiu som zasvätila pomoci tým,

to having a space for those who felt marginalized on the island of Ireland,

ktorí sa cítili vylúčení z írskej spoločnosti,

and bringing together communities from Northern Ireland

a snahe o mier so Severným Írskom.

with those from the Republic,

trying to build peace.

And I went as the first Irish president to the United Kingdom

Ako prvá z írskych prezidentov som navštívila Britániu

and met with Queen Elizabeth II,

a stretla sa s kráľovnou Alžbetou II.

and also welcomed to my official residence --

Tiež som vo svojej rezidencii „Áras an Uachtaráin“ čiže „Dom prezidenta“

which we call "Áras an Uachtaráin," the house of the president --

members of the royal family,

oficiálne privítala členov britskej kráľovskej rodiny,

including, notably, the Prince of Wales.

vrátane princa Charlesa.

And I was aware that at the time of my presidency,

Bola som si vedomá toho, že počas môjho funkčného obdobia

Ireland was a country beginning a rapid economic progress.

sa Írsko vydalo na cestu ekonomického boomu.

We were a country that was benefiting from the solidarity of the European Union.

Ťažili sme zo solidarity EÚ.

Indeed, when Ireland first joined the European Union in 1973,

Keď sa Írsko v roku 1973 pripojilo k EÚ,

there were parts of the country that were considered developing,

niektoré naše regióny sa dali označiť ako rozvojové,

including my own beloved native county, County Mayo.

vrátane môjho milovaného rodného kraja Mayo.

I led trade delegations here to the United States,

Viedla som obchodné delegácie do Spojených štátov, Japonska, Indie,

to Japan, to India,

to encourage investment, to help to create jobs,

aby sme pritiahli investorov, pomohli vytvárať pracovné miesta,

to build up our economy,

posilnili ekonomiku, zdravotníctvo, vzdelávací systém, celkový rozvoj.

to build up our health system, our education --

our development.

What I didn't have to do as president

Ako prezidentka som ale nemusela kupovať pozemky na európskej pevnine,

was buy land on mainland Europe,

so that Irish citizens could go there because our island was going underwater.

aby mali naši občania kam ísť, keď Írsko zaleje stúpajúci oceán.

What I didn't have to think about,

Ako prezidentka či ako ústavná sudkyňa som nemusela myslieť ani na to,

either as president or as a constitutional lawyer,

was the implications for the sovereignty of the territory

aké dopady bude mať zmena klímy na suverenitu nášho štátu.

because of the impact of climate change.

But that is what President Tong, of the Republic of Kiribati,

Pán Tong, prezident Kiribati,

has to wake up every morning thinking about.

však s takýmito myšlienkami každé ráno vstáva.

He has bought land in Fiji as an insurance policy,

V rámci bezpečnostnej stratégie, ktorú volá „dôstojná migrácia“,

what he calls, "migration with dignity,"

nakúpil pozemky na Fidži.

because he knows that his people may have to leave their islands.

Vie, že Kiribaťania budú možno nútení svoje ostrovy opustiť.

As I listened to President Tong describing the situation,

Keď som počúvala prezidenta Tonga,

I really felt that this was a problem that no leader should have to face.

cítila som, že takýmto problémom by nemal byť vystavený žiadny politik.

And as I heard him speak about the pain of his problems,

Keď rozprával, ako ho tá situácia bolí,

I thought about Eleanor Roosevelt.

myslela som na Eleanor Roosevelt.

[Každý má právo na spoločenský a medzinárodný poriadok,

I thought about her and those who worked with her

ktorý zaistí práva a slobody uvedené v tejto Deklarácii.]

on the Commission on Human Rights, which she chaired in 1948,

Od roku 1948 predsedala Komisii OSN pre ľudské práva

and drew up the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

a spolu s kolegami vypracovala Všeobecnú deklaráciu ľudských práv.

For them, it would have been unimaginable

Pre nich by bol fyzický zánik krajiny

that a whole country could go out of existence

kvôli ľuďmi spôsobenej zmene klímy nepredstaviteľný.

because of human-induced climate change.

I came to climate change not as a scientist or an environmental lawyer,

Ja som sa k problematike klímy nedostala cez vedu či environmentálne právo.

and I wasn't really impressed by the images of polar bears

Obrázky ľadových medveďov a topiacich sa ľadovcov

or melting glaciers.

ma nijako zvlášť nedojímali.

It was because of the impact on people,

Zaujal ma vplyv klímy na ľudí a ich práva,

and the impact on their rights --

their rights to food and safe water, health, education and shelter.

ako je právo na jedlo a vodu, zdravie, vzdelanie a prístrešie.

And I say this with humility,

Hovorím to s pokorou, lebo k téme klímy som sa dostala neskoro.

because I came late to the issue of climate change.

When I served

Keď som bola v rokoch 1997 – 2002 Vysokou komisárkou OSN pre ľudské práva,

as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

from 1997 to 2002,

climate change wasn't at the front of my mind.

zmena klímy nebola mojou prioritou.

I don't remember making a single speech on climate change.

Nespomínam si, že by som mala na túto tému jediný prejav.

I knew that there was another part of the United Nations --

Vedela som, že sa tým zaoberá Rámcová zmluva OSN o zmene klímy.

the UN Convention on Climate Change --

that was dealing with the issue of climate change.

It was later when I started to work in African countries

Neskôr som pracovala v Afrike na problémoch rozvoja a ľudských práv.

on issues of development and human rights.

And I kept hearing this pervasive sentence:

A stále som počúvala všadeprítomnú vetu:

"Oh, but things are so much worse now, things are so much worse."

„Všetko sa tak zhoršilo.“

And then I explored what was behind that;

Pátrala som po príčine.

it was about changes in the climate --

Išlo o klimatické zmeny – šoky, zmeny počasia.

climate shocks, changes in the weather.

I met Constance Okollet,

Stretla som sa s Constance Okollet,

who had formed a women's group in Eastern Uganda,

zakladateľkou ženskej skupiny vo Východnej Ugande.

and she told me that when she was growing up,

Vravela, že keď bola malá, život v ich dedine plynul pokojne,

she had a very normal life in her village and they didn't go hungry,

ľudia nehladovali, počasie bolo predvídateľné,

they knew that the seasons would come as they were predicted to come,

they knew when to sow and they knew when to harvest,

vedeli, kedy siať a kedy zbierať úrodu

and so they had enough food.

a jedla mali teda dostatok.

But, in recent years,

Neskôr ale prichádzali dlhé suchá, za nimi náhle povodne

at the time of this conversation,

they had nothing but long periods of drought,

and then flash flooding,

and then more drought.

a potom ďalšie suchá.

The school had been destroyed,

Zničilo to školu,

livelihoods had been destroyed,

zničilo to mnohým spôsob obživy,

their harvest had been destroyed.

zničilo to úrodu.

She forms this women's group to try to keep her community together.

Ženská skupina, ktorú založila, sa snaží udržať obec pri živote.

And this was a reality that really struck me,

Táto skutočnosť ma naozaj zasiahla,

because of course, Constance Okollet wasn't responsible

pretože Constance Okollet nebola, samozrejme, zodpovedná

for the greenhouse gas emissions that were causing this problem.

za skleníkové emisie, ktoré problém spôsobili.

Indeed, I was very struck about the situation in Malawi

V januári tohto roku ma veľmi zasiahla aj situácia v Malawi.

in January of this year.

There was an unprecedented flooding in the country,

Krajinu zasiahla nebývalá povodeň,

it covered about a third of the country,

ktorá zaplavila tretinu jej rozlohy,

over 300 people were killed,

priniesla vyše 300 obetí na životoch

and hundreds of thousands lost their livelihoods.

a stovky tisíc ľudí prišli o svoj spôsob obživy.

And the average person in Malawi

Priemerné emisie sú v Malawi asi 80 kg CO2 na osobu a rok.

emits about 80 kg of CO2 a year.

The average US citizen emits about 17.5 metric tons.

U priemerného občana USA je to 17,5 ton CO2.

So those who are suffering disproportionately

Tí, ktorí najviac trpia, nemajú autá ani elektrinu.

don't drive cars, don't have electricity, don't consume very significantly,

Spotrebúvajú len málo,

and yet they are feeling more and more

ale dôsledky klimatických zmien pociťujú čoraz viac.

the impacts of the changes in the climate,

the changes that are preventing them from knowing how to grow food properly,

Kvôli klíme nemôžu rozumne hospodáriť

and knowing how to look after their future.

a zabezpečiť sa do budúcnosti.

I think it was really the importance of the injustice

Myslím, že práve táto nespravodlivosť

that really struck me very forcibly.

ma najviac zasiahla.

And I know that we're not able to address some of that injustice

Nie sme schopní sa s ňou vysporiadať,

because we're not on course for a safe world.

pretože sme si nezvolili smer k bezpečnému svetu.

Governments around the world agreed at the conference in Copenhagen,

Vlády celého sveta sa na konferencii v Kodani dohodli –

and have repeated it at every conference on climate,

a opakujú to na každej klimatickej konferencii –,

that we have to stay below two degrees Celsius

že rast teploty musíme udržať pod 2 °C oproti predindustriálnej hodnote.

of warming above pre-Industrial standards.

But we're on course for about four degrees.

Ale my smerujeme niekam k 4 °C.

So we face an existential threat to the future of our planet.

To je existenčná hrozba pre našu planétu.

And that made me realize

Na základe toho som si uvedomila,

that climate change is the greatest threat to human rights in the 21st century.

že zmena klímy je najväčšou hrozbou pre ľudské práva v 21. storočí.

And that brought me then to climate justice.

To ma priviedlo k téme klimatickej spravodlivosti.

Climate justice responds to the moral argument --

Tá je odpoveďou na morálnu stránku

both sides of the moral argument --

klimatickej problematiky.

to address climate change.

First of all,

Po prvé,

to be on the side of those who are suffering most and are most effected.

byť na strane tých, ktorí sú najviac postihnutí.

And secondly,

Po druhé,

to make sure that they're not left behind again, when we start to move

zaistiť, že títo ľudia nezostanú bez pomoci,

and start to address climate change with climate action,

keď konečne začneme zmenu klímy riešiť.

as we are doing.

In our very unequal world today,

V dnešnom veľmi nerovnom svete

it's very striking how many people are left behind.

sme nechali bez pomoci šokujúco veľa ľudí.

In our world of 7.2 billion people, about 3 billion are left behind.

Sú to asi 3 miliardy z celkových 7,2 miliardy ľudí na svete.

1.3 billion don't have access to electricity,

1,3 miliardy nemá prístup k elektrine

and they light their homes with kerosene and candles,

a doma si svietia petrolejom či sviečkami,

both of which are dangerous.

čo je nebezpečné.

And in fact they spend a lot of their tiny income on that form of lighting.

V skutočnosti minú na tieto zdroje svetla veľkú časť svojich skromných príjmov.

2.6 billion people cook on open fires --

2,6 miliardy ľudí varí na otvorenom ohni,

on coal, wood and animal dung.

na uhlí, dreve alebo na suchých lajnách.

And this causes about 4 million deaths a year

Každoročne preto 4 milióny ľudí umrie na pľúcne choroby

from indoor smoke inhalation,

and of course, most of those who die are women.

a väčšinu, samozrejme, tvoria ženy.

So we have a very unequal world,

Žijeme vo veľkej nerovnosti

and we need to change from "business as usual."

a potrebujeme zmeniť veľa vecí, ktoré sú dnes pre nás normálne.

And we shouldn't underestimate the scale and the transformative nature

Nemali by sme podceniť rozsah a silu potrebnej zmeny.

of the change which will be needed,

because we have to go to zero carbon emissions by about 2050,

Do roku 2050 musíme uhlíkové emisie znížiť na nulu,

if we're going to stay below two degrees Celsius of warming.

ak chceme oteplenie udržať pod 2 °C.

And that means we have to leave about two-thirds of the known resources

To znamená, že asi dve tretiny známych fosílnych zdrojov

of fossil fuels in the ground.

musíme nechať pod zemou.

It's a very big change,

To je veľká zmena.

and it means that obviously,

Je jasné, že priemyselné krajiny musia znížiť emisie,

industrialized countries must cut their emissions,

must become much more energy-efficient,

výrazne zvýšiť energetickú účinnosť

and must move as quickly as possible to renewable energy.

a čo najrýchlejšie prejsť na obnoviteľné zdroje.

For developing countries and emerging economies,

Výzvou pre pre rozvojové krajiny a emergentné trhy

the problem and the challenge is to grow without emissions,

je rast bez emisií.

because they must develop; they have very poor populations.

Potrebujú ekonomický rast, lebo ich obyvatelia žijú v chudobe.

So they must develop without emissions, and that is a different kind of problem.

Bez emisií to však nie je ľahké.

Indeed, no country in the world has actually grown without emissions.

Žiadna krajina na svete zatiaľ nezbohatla bez emisií.

All the countries have developed with fossil fuels,

Všetky rozvinuté ekonomiky využili fosílne zdroje

and then may be moving to renewable energy.

a až dnes prípadne prechádzajú na obnoviteľnú energiu.

So it is a very big challenge,

Je to veľká výzva

and it requires the total support of the international community,

a vyžaduje jednoznačnú podporu medzinárodného spoločenstva,

with the necessary finance and technology, and systems and support,

finančnú, technologickú aj systémovú.

because no country can make itself safe from the dangers of climate change.

Žiadna krajina sa sama pred klimatickými hrozbami neochráni.

This is an issue that requires complete human solidarity.

Tento problém vyžaduje silnú ľudskú solidaritu.

Human solidarity, if you like, based on self-interest --

A je to solidarita vo vlastnom záujme,

because we are all in this together,

pretože v tomto sme všetci na jednej lodi.

and we have to work together

Na dosiahnutí nulových emisií do roku 2050 musíme spolupracovať.

to ensure that we reach zero carbon by 2050.

The good news is that change is happening,

Dobrou správou je, že veci sa už dávajú do pohybu,

and it's happening very fast.

a to veľmi rýchlo.

Here in California,

Kalifornia má veľmi ambiciózny cieľ znížiť emisie.

there's a very ambitious emissions target to cut emissions.

In Hawaii, they're passing legislation

Havaj pripravuje zákon o prechode na 100 % obnoviteľné zdroje

to have 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.

do roku 2045.

And governments are very ambitious around the world.

Vlády po celom svete majú ambiciózne plány.

In Costa Rica, they have committed to being carbon-neutral by 2021.

Kostarika chce dosiahnuť uhlíkovú neutralitu do roku 2021.

In Ethiopia, the commitment is to be carbon-neutral by 2027.

Etiópia do roku 2027.

Apple have pledged that their factories in China will use renewable energy.

Firma Apple sľúbila, že jej čínske továrne budú používať obnoviteľnú energiu.

And there is a race on at the moment

V súčasnosti finišuje vývoj technológií

to convert electricity from tidal and wave power,

na získavanie energie z morských vĺn a prílivov,

in order that we can leave the coal in the ground.

aby uhlie mohlo zostať pod zemou.

And that change is both welcome and is happening very rapidly.

Tieto zmeny sú rýchle a vítané.

But it's still not enough,

Ale stále to nestačí.

and the political will is still not enough.

A nestačí ani súčasná politická vôľa.

Let me come back to President Tong and his people in Kiribati.

Vrátim sa ešte ku kiribatskému prezidentovi Tongovi.

They actually could be able to live on their island and have a solution,

Jeho národ by mohol naďalej obývať svoje ostrovy,

but it would take a lot of political will.

ale vyžadovalo by to veľa politickej vôle.

President Tong told me about his ambitious idea

Pán prezident Tong mi rozprával o svojom ambicióznom pláne

to either build up or even float the little islands where his people live.

menšie ostrovy nadstaviť či dokonca spraviť plávajúcimi.

This, of course, is beyond the resources of Kiribati itself.

Na to, samozrejme, Kiribati nemá peniaze.

It would require great solidarity and support from other countries,

Vyžadovalo by to veľkú solidaritu a podporu iných krajín

and it would require the kind of imaginative idea

a tiež podobnú predstavivosť,

that we bring together when we want to have a space station in the air.

s akou sa nám spoločne darí stavať vesmírne stanice.

But wouldn't it be wonderful to have this engineering wonder

Nebolo by úžasné, ak by vďaka podobnému technickému zázraku

and to allow a people to remain in their sovereign territory,

mohol jeden národ zostať na svojom suverénnom území

and be part of the community of nations?

a pokračovať v existencii?

That is the kind of idea that we should be thinking about.

Takýmito myšlienkami by sme sa mali zaoberať.

Yes, the challenges of the transformation we need are big,

Výzvy, ktoré potrebná zmena prináša, sú veľké, ale riešiteľné.

but they can be solved.

We are actually, as a people,

Národy majú veľkú schopnosť spolupracovať na riešení problémov.

very capable of coming together to solve problems.

I was very conscious of this as I took part this year

Silno som si to uvedomila tento rok,

in commemoration of the 70th anniversary

pri príležitosti 70. výročia konca druhej svetovej vojny.

of the end of the Second World War in 1945.

1945 was an extraordinary year.

Rok 1945 bol neobyčajný.

It was a year when the world faced

Svet čelil zdanlivo neriešiteľným problémom:

what must have seemed almost insoluble problems --

the devastation of the world wars, particularly the Second World War;

Spúšť, ktorú po sebe zanechali obe svetové vojny, hlavne tá druhá.

the fragile peace that had been brought about;

Krehký mier, ktorý sa podarilo nastoliť.

the need for a whole economic regeneration.

Potreba kompletnej ekonomickej obnovy.

But the leaders of that time didn't flinch from this.

Ale štátnici tej doby pred nimi necúvli.

They had the capacity, they had a sense of being driven by

Viedlo ich presvedčenie,

že svet sa už nikdy nesmie dostať do takýchto problémov.

never again must the world have this kind of problem.

And they had to build structures for peace and security.

Potrebovali vybudovať mierové a bezpečnostné štruktúry.

And what did we get? What did they achieve?

Čo bolo výsledkom?

The Charter of the United Nations,

Charta OSN

the Bretton Woods institutions, as they're called, The World Bank,

a tzv. bretton-woodske inštitúcie, Svetová banka a Medzinárodný menový fond.

and the International Monetary Fund.

A Marshall Plan for Europe, a devastated Europe,

Marshallov plán na obnovu zničenej Európy.

to reconstruct it.

And indeed a few years later,

A o pár rokov neskôr Všeobecná deklarácia ľudských práv.

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

2015 is a year that is similar in its importance

Rok 2015 je podobne dôležitý ako rok 1945,

to 1945, with similar challenges and similar potential.

čo sa týka výziev a potenciálu.

There will be two big summits this year:

Čakajú nás dva veľké samity:

the first one, in September in New York,

Prvý z nich, septembrový, v New Yorku, bude riešiť ciele udržateľného rozvoja.

is the summit for the sustainable development goals.

And then the summit in Paris in December, to give us a climate agreement.

A decembrový samit v Paríži prinesie dohodu o klíme.

The sustainable development goals are intended to help countries

Ciele udržateľného rozvoja majú štátom pomôcť fungovať udržateľne,

to live sustainably, in tune with Mother Earth,

v harmónii s Matkou Zemou

not to take out of Mother Earth and destroy ecosystems,

a nie na jej úkor za cenu ničenia ekosystémov.

but rather, to live in harmony with Mother Earth,

V harmónii s Matkou Zemou na základe udržateľného rozvoja.

by living under sustainable development.

And the sustainable development goals

Dohodnuté ciele začnú pre všetky krajiny platiť od 1. januára 2016.

will come into operation for all countries

on January 1, 2016.

The climate agreement --

Záväznú klimatickú dohodu potrebujeme preto,

a binding climate agreement --

is needed because of the scientific evidence

lebo vedecké dôkazy svedčia o tom, že smerujeme k otepleniu o 4°C,

that we're on a trajectory for about a four-degree world

and we have to change course to stay below two degrees.

a my sa musíme dostať pod 2°C.

So we need to take steps that will be monitored and reviewed,

Treba prijať opatrenia, ktoré sa budú monitorovať a hodnotiť.

so that we can keep increasing the ambition of how we cut emissions,

Tak budeme môcť znižovať emisie stále ambicióznejšie

and how we move more rapidly to renewable energy,

a prechod na obnoviteľné zdroje bude rýchlejší.

so that we have a safe world.

To je cesta k bezpečnému svetu.

The reality is that this issue is much too important

Ide o to, že tento problém je príliš dôležitý na to,

to be left to politicians and to the United Nations.

aby sme ho nechali len na politikov a OSN.

(Laughter)

(smiech)

It's an issue for all of us,

Je to problém nás všetkých

and it's an issue where we need more and more momentum.

a vyžaduje čoraz väčšiu hybnú silu.

Indeed, the face of the environmentalist has changed,

Nie je to len environmentálny problém,

because of the justice dimension.

je tu aj otázka spravodlivosti.

It's now an issue for faith-based organizations,

Dnes sa ním zaoberajú aj cirkvi,

under very good leadership from Pope Francis,

pod skvelým vedením pápeža Františka.

and indeed, the Church of England,

Anglikánska cirkev napríklad prestáva investovať do fosílnych palív.

which is divesting from fossil fuels.

It's an issue for the business community,

Klímou sa zaoberá aj ekonomický sektor,

and the good news is

a dobrou správou je, že prechádza rýchlou zmenou,

that the business community is changing very rapidly --

except for the fossil fuel industries --

teda okrem ropného a uhoľného priemyslu.

(Laughter)

(smiech)

Even they are beginning to slightly change their language --

Ale aj tie pomaly menia rétoriku, hoci len nebadane.

but only slightly.

But business is not only moving rapidly to the benefits of renewable energy,

Firmy sa nielen rýchlo posúvajú k výhodám obnoviteľných zdrojov,

but is urging politicians to give them more signals,

ale aj žiadajú od politikov jasné signály, aby sa mohli meniť ešte rýchlejšie.

so that they can move even more rapidly.

It's an issue for the trade union movement.

Klímou sa zaoberajú odborové zväzy,

It's an issue for the women's movement.

ženské hnutie,

It's an issue for young people.

mladí ľudia.

I was very struck when I learned that Jibreel Khazan,

Dojalo ma, keď Jibreel Khazan,

one of the Greensboro Four who had taken part in the Woolworth sit-ins,

známy vďaka protestom proti segregácii v Greensboro,

said quite recently that

nedávno prehlásil, že zmena klímy je pre dnešných mladých ľudí

climate change is the lunch counter moment for young people.

podobne zásadný problém, akým bola v 60. rokoch rasová segregácia.

So, lunch counter moment for young people of the 21st century --

Skutočný ľudskoprávny problém 21. storočia,

the sort of real human rights issue of the 21st century,

because he said it is the greatest challenge

ktorý považuje za najväčšiu výzvu pre ľudstvo a spravodlivosť nášho sveta.

to humanity and justice in our world.

I recall very much the Climate March last September,

Veľmi spomínam na pochod Climate March v septembri minulého roka.

and that was a huge momentum,

Bola to obrovská hybná sila,

not just in New York, but all around the world.

nielen v New Yorku, ale po celom svete.

and we have to build on that.

Na tom treba stavať.

I was marching with some of The Elders family,

Ja som pochodovala s členmi Starších (theelders.org),

and I saw a placard a little bit away from me,

keď som neďaleko zahliadla jeden transparent.

but we were wedged so closely together --

Boli sme však dosť namačkaní, veď New Yorkom pochodovalo 400 000 ľudí,

because after all, there were 400,000 people out in the streets of New York --

so I couldn't quite get to that placard,

a tak som sa nemohla k nemu dostať.

I would have just liked to have been able to step behind it,

Inak by som sa rada zaň postavila,

because it said, "Angry Grannies!"

lebo hlásal: „Rozzúrené babky“.

(Laughter)

(smiech)

That's what I felt.

Tak som sa cítila.

And I have five grandchildren now,

Mám päť vnúčat,

I feel very happy as an Irish grandmother to have five grandchildren,

na čo som ako írska babka pyšná.

and I think about their world,

Rozmýšľam, aký bude ich svet,

and what it will be like when they will share that world

keď ho budú v roku 2050 zdieľať s ďalšími 9 miliardami ľudí.

with about 9 billion other people in 2050.

We know that inevitably it will be a climate-constrained world,

Ten svet bude nevyhnutne obmedzovaný klímou,

because of the emissions we've already put up there,

kvôli emisiám, ktoré sme už vypustli.

but it could be a world that is much more equal and much fairer,

Ale mohol by byť omnoho spravodlivejší,

and much better for health, and better for jobs

zdravší a lepší z hľadiska zamestnanosti i energetickej bezpečnosti,

and better for energy security,

than the world we have now,

než je náš dnešný svet.

if we have switched sufficiently and early enough to renewable energy,

Ale len ak dostatočne rýchlo prejdeme na obnoviteľné zdroje

and no one is left behind.

a nikoho nenecháme bez pomoci.

No one is left behind.

And just as we've been looking back this year --

A tak ako sme si tento rok pripomínali rok 1945,

in 2015 to 1945, looking back 70 years --

pozerali sme 70 rokov do minulosti,

I would like to think that they will look back,

rada by som, aby naši vnukovia a celý svet

that world will look back 35 years from 2050,

o 35 rokov – v roku 2050 – pozeral na dnešok a hovoril si:

35 years to 2015,

and that they will say,

"Weren't they good to do what they did in 2015?

„V tom 2015 to spravili dobre,

We really appreciate that they took the decisions that made a difference,

ceníme si, že sa svet rozhodol vydať správnou cestou

and that put the world on the right pathway,

and we benefit now from that pathway,"

a nám sa dnes vďaka tomu žije lepšie.“

that they will feel that somehow we took our responsibilities,

Rada by som, aby cítili, že sme sa zachovali zodpovedne,

we did what was done in 1945 in similar terms,

podobne ako svetoví politici v roku 1945,

we didn't miss the opportunity,

že sme sa chopili poslednej príležitosti

we lived up to our responsibilities.

a dostáli svojej zodpovednosti.

That's what this year is about.

O tom je tento rok.

And somehow for me,

Poviem to slovami ženy, ktorú som veľmi obdivovala.

it's captured in words of somebody that I admired very much.

She was a mentor of mine, she was a friend,

Bola mojou učiteľkou a priateľkou.

she died much too young,

Zomrela príliš mladá.

she was an extraordinary personality,

Bola výnimočnou osobnosťou, ikonou environmentalizmu:

a great champion of the environment:

Wangari Maathai.

Wangari Maathai.

Wangari said once,

Raz povedala:

"In the course of history,

"V behu dejín príde čas,

there comes a time when humanity is called upon

keď ľudstvo dosiahne novú úroveň vedomia,

to shift to a new level of consciousness,

to reach a higher moral ground."

vyššiu morálku.“

And that's what we have to do.

To je naša úloha.

We have to reach a new level of consciousness,

Potrebujeme novú úroveň vedomia,

a higher moral ground.

vyššiu morálku.

And we have to do it this year in those two big summits.

A potrebujeme to už na tých dvoch veľkých samitoch.

And that won't happen unless we have the momentum

A na to treba veľkú hybnú silu ľudí z celého sveta, ktorí povedia:

from people around the world who say:

"We want action now,

„Chceme konať.

we want to change course,

Chceme zmeniť kurz.

we want a safe world,

Chceme bezpečný svet pre budúce generácie,

a safe world for future generations,

a safe world for our children and our grandchildren,

pre naše deti a vnúčatá.

and we're all in this together."

Všetci sme na jednej lodi.“

Thank you.

Ďakujem vám.
