What does it mean to be a citizen of the world? | Hugh Evans

Prevodilac: Ivana Krivokuća Lektor: Tijana Mihajlović

I want to introduce you to an amazing woman.

Želim da vam predstavim jednu izuzetnu ženu.

Her name is Davinia.

Njeno ime je Davinija.

Davinia was born in Jamaica, emigrated to the US at the age of 18,

Davinija je rođena na Jamajci, preselila se u SAD u 18. godini,

and now lives just outside of Washington, DC.

a sada živi u neposrednoj blizini Vašingtona u okrugu Kolumbija.

She's not a high-powered political staffer,

Ona nije moćni politički zastupnik,

nor a lobbyist.

niti lobista.

She'd probably tell you she's quite unremarkable,

Verovatno bi vam rekla da je prilično nezanimljiva,

but she's having the most remarkable impact.

ali ima vrlo izuzetan uticaj.

What's incredible about Davinia

Ono što je izuzetno kod Davinije

is that she's willing to spend time every single week

je njena volja da svake nedelje provodi vreme

focused on people who are not her:

usmerena na ljude koji nisu ona,

people not her in her neighborhood, her state, nor even in her country --

ljude koji nisu u njenom kraju, njenoj državi, čak ni u njenoj zemlji,

people she'd likely never meet.

ljude koje verovatno nikada neće sresti.

Davinia's impact started a few years ago

Davinijin uticaj je otpočeo pre nekoliko godina

when she reached out to all of her friends on Facebook,

kada se obratila svim svojim prijateljima na Fejsbuku

and asked them to donate their pennies

i zamolila ih da doniraju penije

so she could fund girls' education.

da bi mogla da finansira obrazovanje za devojčice.

She wasn't expecting a huge response,

Nije očekivala naročit odgovor,

but 700,000 pennies later,

ali posle 700 000 penija,

she's now sent over 120 girls to school.

poslala je dosad preko 120 devojčica u školu.

When we spoke last week,

Kada smo razgovarali prošle nedelje,

she told me she's become a little infamous at the local bank

rekla mi je da je izašla na loš glas u lokalnoj banci

every time she rocks up with a shopping cart full of pennies.

jer se svaki put pojavi sa punim kolicima penija.

Now -- Davinia is not alone.

Davinija nije sama u ovome.

Far from it.

Daleko od toga.

She's part of a growing movement.

Ona je deo pokreta koji raste.

And there's a name for people like Davinia:

Postoji ime za ljude kao što je Davinija -

global citizens.

globalni građani.

A global citizen is someone who self-identifies first and foremost

Globalni građanin je neko ko se prvenstveno izjašnjava

not as a member of a state, a tribe or a nation,

ne kao član države, plemena ili nacije,

but as a member of the human race,

već kao član ljudske rase,

and someone who is prepared to act on that belief,

kao neko ko je spreman da postupa u skladu sa tim uverenjem,

to tackle our world's greatest challenges.

da se pozabavi najvećim problemima sveta.

Our work is focused on finding,

Naš rad je usmeren na pronalaženje,

supporting and activating global citizens.

podršku i aktiviranje globalnih građana.

They exist in every country

Oni postoje u svakoj zemlji

and among every demographic.

i u svakom delu populacije.

I want to make the case to you today

Želim da vam danas obrazložim

that the world's future depends on global citizens.

da budućnost sveta zavisi od globalnih građana.

I'm convinced that if we had more global citizens active in our world,

Ubeđen sam da, kada bismo imali više aktivnih globalnih građana na svetu,

then every single one of the major challenges we face --

svaki od velikih izazova sa kojima se suočavamo -

from poverty, climate change, gender inequality --

siromaštvo, klimatske promene, rodna neravnopravnost -

these issues become solvable.

ti problemi bi postali rešivi.

They are ultimately global issues,

To su u krajnjoj liniji globalni problemi

and they can ultimately only be solved

i mogu ih naposletku rešiti samo globalni građani,

by global citizens demanding global solutions from their leaders.

zahtevajući globalna rešenja od svojih predvodnika.

Now, some people's immediate reaction to this idea

Neki ljudi odmah reaguju na ovu ideju

is that it's either a bit utopian or even threatening.

kao da je pomalo utopijska ili čak i opasna.

So I'd like to share with you a little of my story today,

Stoga želim da danas podelim deo svoje priče sa vama,

how I ended up here,

kako sam dospeo ovde,

how it connects with Davinia

kakve to ima veze sa Davinijom

and, hopefully, with you.

i, nadajmo se, sa vama.

Growing up in Melbourne, Australia,

Dok sam odrastao u Melburnu u Australiji,

I was one of those seriously irritating little kids

bio sam jedno od one ozbiljno iritatne dece

that never, ever stopped asking, "Why?"

koja nikada ne prestaju da pitaju: „Zašto?“

You might have been one yourself.

Možda ste i vi sami bili takvo dete.

I used to ask my mum the most annoying questions.

Imao sam običaj da mami postavljam najdosadnija pitanja.

I'd ask her questions like, "Mum, why I can't I dress up

Postavljao bih joj pitanja poput:

„Mama, zašto ja ne mogu da se maskiram i igram se sa lutkama po ceo dan?

and play with puppets all day?"

"Why do you want fries with that?"

„Zašto hoćeš pomfrit uz to?“

"What is a shrimp,

„Šta je to škamp

and why do we have to keep throwing them on the barbie?"

i zašto treba da ga bacamo na barbiku?“

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

"And mum -- this haircut.

„I mama - ova frizura.

Why?"

Zašto?“

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

The worst haircut, I think.

Najgora frizura, mislim.

Still terrible.

I dalje užasna.

As a "why" kid, I thought I could change the world,

Kao „zašto“ dete, mislio sam da mogu da promenim svet

and it was impossible to convince me otherwise.

i bilo je nemoguće ubediti me u nešto drugo.

And when I was 12 and in my first year of high school,

Kada sam imao 12 godina, na prvoj godini srednje škole,

I started raising money for communities in the developing world.

počeo sam da prikupljam novac za zajednice zemalja u razvoju.

We were a really enthusiastic group of kids,

Bili smo zaista entuzijastična grupa dece

and we raised more money than any other school in Australia.

i prikupili smo više novca od bilo koje druge škole u Australiji.

And so I was awarded the chance to go to the Philippines to learn more.

Tako sam bio nagrađen prilikom da odem na Filipine da saznam više.

It was 1998.

Bila je 1998. godina.

We were taken into a slum in the outskirts of Manila.

Odveli su nas u sirotinjski kraj na periferiji Manile.

It was there I became friends with Sonny Boy,

Tamo sam se prijateljio sa Sani Bojem,

who lived on what was literally a pile of steaming garbage.

koji je živeo bukvalno na gomili uzavrelog đubreta,

"Smoky Mountain" was what they called it.

„Dimnoj planini“, kako su je zvali.

But don't let the romance of that name fool you,

Neka vas ne prevari romantično ime,

because it was nothing more than a rancid landfill

jer to nije bilo ništa više do užegle deponije

that kids like Sonny Boy spent hours rummaging through every single day

na kojoj su deca poput Sani Boja provodili sate preturajući svakoga dana

to find something, anything of value.

da bi pronašli nešto, bilo šta vredno.

That night with Sonny Boy and his family changed my life forever,

Ta noć sa Sani Bojem i njegovom porodicom

promenila mi je život zauvek

because when it came time to go to sleep,

jer kada je došlo vreme za spavanje,

we simply laid down on this concrete slab the size of half my bedroom

jednostavno smo legli na betonsku ploču veličine polovine moje spavaće sobe,

with myself, Sonny Boy, and the rest of his family,

ja, Sani Boj i ostatak njegove porodice,

seven of us in this long line,

nas sedmoro u dugom redu,

with the smell of rubbish all around us

sa mirisom smeća svuda oko nas

and cockroaches crawling all around.

i bubašvama koje su milele unaokolo.

And I didn't sleep a wink,

Nisam ni trenuo okom,

but I lay awake thinking to myself,

već sam ležao budan razmišljajući:

"Why should anyone have to live like this

„Zašto bi iko morao da živi ovako

when I have so much?

kada ja imam toliko toga?

Why should Sonny Boy's ability to live out his dreams

Zašto bi mogućnost Sani Boja da proživi svoje snove

be determined by where he's born,

bila određena time gde je rođen,

or what Warren Buffett called 'the ovarian lottery?'"

ili onim što Voren Bafet nazivao 'lutrijom jajnika'?“

I just didn't get it,

Prosto nisam to kapirao

and I needed to understand why.

i morao sam da saznam zašto.

Now, I only later came to understand

Tek kasnije sam shvatio

that the poverty I'd seen in the Philippines

da je siromaštvo koje sam video na Filipinima

was the result of decisions made or not made, man-made,

rezultat odluka koje jesu ili nisu donete od strane ljudi,

by a succession of colonial powers and corrupt governments

kroz niz kolonijalnih moćnika i korumpiranih vlada

who had anything but the interests of Sonny Boy at heart.

koje su imale sve osim interesa Sani Boja u srži.

Sure, they didn't create Smoky Mountain, but they may as well have.

Naravno, nisu stvorili Dimnu planinu, ali kao da jesu.

Ako hoćemo da pokušamo da pomognemo deci kao što je Sani Boj,

And if we're to try to help kids like Sonny Boy,

it wouldn't work just to try to send him a few dollars

to ne bismo uspeli samo ako bismo mu poslali nekoliko dolara

or to try to clean up the garbage dump on which he lived,

ili probali da očistimo deponiju na kojoj je živeo,

because the core of the problem lay elsewhere.

jer je suština problema u nečemu drugom.

And as I worked on community development projects over the coming years

Dok sam tokom narednih godina radio na programima razvoja zajednice

trying to help build schools,

nastojeći da pomognem u izgradnji škola,

train teachers, and tackle HIV and AIDS,

obuci nastavnika, bavio se problemom side,

I came to see that community development

uvideo sam da razvoj zajednica

should be driven by communities themselves,

treba da vode te same zajednice

and that although charity is necessary, it's not sufficient.

i, mada je davanje priloga neophodno, ono nije dovoljno.

We need to confront these challenges

Moramo se suočiti sa ovim izazovima

on a global scale and in a systemic way.

na globalnom planu i na sistematski način.

And the best thing I could do

Najbolje što sam mogao da uradim

is try to mobilize a large group of citizens back home

je da pokušam da mobilišem veliku grupu građana kod kuće

to insist that our leaders engage in that systemic change.

koja će insistirati da se naši predvodnici angažuju na tim sistematskim promenama.

That's why, a few years later,

Zato sam se nekoliko godina kasnije

I joined with a group of college friends

udružio sa grupom prijatelja sa fakulteta

in bringing the Make Poverty History campaign to Australia.

da bih doneo u Australiju kampanju „Okončajmo siromaštvo“.

We had this dream of staging this small concert

Maštali smo da održimo mali koncert

around the time of the G20 with local Aussie artists,

otprilike u vreme Samita G20 sa lokalnim australijskim umetnicima,

and it suddenly exploded one day

a odjednom se to jednog dana razbuktalo

when we got a phone call from Bono, the Edge and Pearl Jam,

kada su me telefonom pozvali Bono, Edž i Perl Džem,

who all agreed to headline our concert.

koji su se složili da budu glavne zvezde na našem koncertu.

I got a little bit excited that day, as you can see.

Bio sam malo uzbuđen tog dana, kao što možete videti.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

But to our amazement,

Na našu zapanjenost,

the Australian government heard our collective voices,

australijska vlada je čula naš zajednički glas

and they agreed to double investment into global health and development --

i složili su se da udvostruče ulaganja u globalno zdravlje i razvoj -

an additional 6.2 billion dollars.

dodatnih 6,2 milijardi dolara.

It felt like --

Osećao sam...

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

It felt like this incredible validation.

Osećao sam da je to neverovatna potvrda.

By rallying citizens together, we helped persuade our government

Okupljanjem građana, pomogli smo u ubeđivanju vlade

to do the unthinkable,

da učini nezamislivo

and act to fix a problem miles outside of our borders.

i da preduzme akcije da bi rešila problem kilometrima izvan naše granice.

But here's the thing:

Ipak, evo u čemu je problem -

it didn't last.

to nije potrajalo.

See, there was a change in government,

Vidite, došlo je do promena u vladi

and six years later, all that new money

i šest godina kasnije je sav taj novi novac nestao.

disappeared.

What did we learn?

Šta smo naučili?

We learned that one-off spikes are not enough.

Naučili smo da jedan događaj pokretanja stvari nije dovoljan.

We needed a sustainable movement,

Bio nam je potreban održivi pokret,

not one that is susceptible to the fluctuating moods of a politician

ne onaj koji je podložan promenljivom raspoloženju političara

or the hint of an economic downturn.

ili nagoveštajima ekonomskih kriza.

And it needed to happen everywhere;

To je trebalo da se dogodi svuda

otherwise, every individual government would have this built-in excuse mechanism

ili bi inače svaka pojedinačna vlada imala ugrađeni mehanizam izgovora

da nikako ne mogu da sami iznesu teret globalne akcije.

that they couldn't possibly carry the burden of global action alone.

And so this is what we embarked upon.

Tako da je to ono na šta smo naišli.

And as we embarked upon this challenge, we asked ourselves,

Kada smo naišli na ovaj problem, zapitali smo se

how do we gain enough pressure and build a broad enough army

kako da obezbedimo dovoljno pritiska i izgradimo dovoljno veliku vojsku

to win these fights for the long term?

da bismo pobedili u ovoj borbi na duže staze.

We could only think of one way.

Pao nam je samo jedan način na pamet.

Trebalo je da nekako preokrenemo to kratkoročno uzbuđenje

We needed to somehow turn that short-term excitement

of people involved with the Make Poverty History campaign

ljudi koji su bili uključeni u kampanju „Okončajte siromaštvo“

into long-term passion.

u dugotrajnu strast.

It had to be part of their identity.

To je moralo da postane deo njihovog identiteta.

So in 2012, we cofounded an organization that had exactly that as its goal.

Tako smo 2012. godine zajednički osnovali organizaciju

koja je imala upravo taj cilj.

And there was only one name for it:

Mogla je imati samo jedno ime -

Global Citizen.

„Globalni građanin“.

But this is not about any one organization.

Međutim, ne radi se o nekoj posebnoj organizaciji.

This is about citizens taking action.

Radi se o građanima koji preduzimaju akcije.

And research data tells us

Podaci istraživanja nam govore da,

that of the total population who even care about global issues,

od ukupne populacije kojoj je uopšte stalo do globalnih problema,

only 18 percent have done anything about it.

samo 18 posto je preduzelo nešto po tom pitanju.

It's not that people don't want to act.

Ne radi se o tome da ljudi ne žele da učine nešto.

It's often that they don't know how to take action,

Oni često ne znaju kako da preduzmu akcije

or that they believe that their actions will have no effect.

ili smatraju da njihove akcije neće imati efekta.

So we had to somehow recruit and activate millions of citizens

Stoga smo morali da nekako pridobijemo i aktiviramo milione građana

in dozens of countries

u desetinama zemalja

to put pressure on their leaders to behave altruistically.

da vrše pritisak na svoje predvodnike da se ponašaju altruistično.

And as we did so, we discovered something really thrilling,

Kada smo to uradili, otkrili smo nešto zaista uzbudljivo,

that when you make global citizenship your mission,

a to je da, kada globalno građanstvo postane vaša misija,

you suddenly find yourself with some extraordinary allies.

odjednom se zateknete sa nekim izuzetnim saveznicima.

See, extreme poverty isn't the only issue that's fundamentally global.

Estremno siromaštvo nije jedini problem koji je u suštini globalne prirode.

So, too, is climate change,

To su i klimatske promene,

human rights, gender equality,

ljudska prava, rodna ravnopravnost,

even conflict.

čak i konflikti.

We found ourselves shoulder to shoulder

Našli smo se rame uz rame sa ljudima koji imaju strast

with people who are passionate about targeting all these interrelated issues.

usmerenu na sve te međusobno povezane probleme.

But how did we actually go about recruiting

No, kako smo zapravo pridobili

and engaging those global citizens?

i aktivirali te globalne građane?

Well, we used the universal language:

Pa, koristili smo univerzalni jezik,

music.

muziku.

We launched the Global Citizen Festival

Pokrenuli smo „Festival globalnih građana“

in the heart of New York City in Central Park,

u srcu Njujorka u Sentral Parku

and we persuaded some of the world's biggest artists to participate.

i ubedili neke od najvećih umetnika sveta da učestvuju na njemu.

We made sure that these festivals coincided

Postarali smo se da se ovi festivali podudare

with the UN General Assembly meeting,

sa sastankom Generalne skupštine UN-a,

so that leaders who need to hear our voices

tako da predvodnici koji treba da čuju naš glas

couldn't possible ignore them.

ne mogu nikako da ih ignorišu.

But there was a twist:

Međutim, postojala je caka.

you couldn't buy a ticket.

Niste mogli da kupite kartu.

You had to earn it.

Morali ste da je zaradite.

You had to take action on behalf of a global cause,

Morali ste da preduzmete akcije u korist globalnih ciljeva,

and only once you'd done that could you earn enough points to qualify.

a tek kada ste to uradili,

mogli ste dobiti dovoljno poena da se kvalifikujete.

Activism is the currency.

Aktivizam je valuta.

I had no interest in citizenship purely as some sort of feel-good thing.

Nije me zanimalo građanstvo samo kao neka vrsta dobrog osećaja.

For me, citizenship means you have to act, and that's what we required.

Za mene, građanstvo je značilo da treba da delujete, a to smo i zahtevali.

And amazingly, it worked.

Na iznenađenje, delovalo je.

Last year, more than 155,000 citizens in the New York area alone

Prošle godine je više od 155 000 građana samo u oblasti Njujorka

earned enough points to qualify.

zaradilo dovoljno poena da se kvalifikuje.

Globally, we've now signed up citizens in over 150 countries around the world.

Na globalnom nivou, upisali smo građane iz preko 150 zemalja širom sveta,

And last year, we signed up more than 100,000 new members

a prošle godine smo upisali više od 100 000 novih članova

each and every week of the whole year.

svake nedelje tokom prethodne godine.

See, we don't need to create global citizens from nothing.

Vidite, ne moramo da stvaramo globalne građane ni iz čega.

We're already everywhere.

Već smo svuda.

We just need to be organized

Samo treba da se organizujemo

and motivated to start acting.

i da se motivišemo da bismo počeli da delujemo.

And this is where I believe we can learn a lot from Davinia,

Tu mislim da možemo mnogo toga da naučimo od Davinije,

who started taking action as a global citizen back in 2012.

koja je počela da preduzima akcije kao globalni građanin 2012. godine.

Here's what she did.

Evo šta je uradila.

It wasn't rocket science.

To nije bila neka teška nauka.

She started writing letters,

Počela je da piše pisma,

emailing politicians' offices.

slala je imejlove kancelarijama političara.

She volunteered her time in her local community.

Volontirala je u svojoj lokalnoj zajednici.

That's when she got active on social media

Tada je postala aktivna na društvenim mrežama

and started to collect pennies --

i počela da prikuplja penije -

a lot of pennies.

mnogo penija.

Now, maybe that doesn't sound like a lot to you.

Možda vam to ne zvuči kao puno.

How will that achieve anything?

Kako će se time bilo šta postići?

Well, it achieved a lot because she wasn't alone.

Pa, postiglo se puno jer nije bila sama u tome.

Her actions, alongside 142,000 other global citizens',

Njene aktivnosti, zajedno sa aktivnostima 142 000 drugih globalnih građana,

led the US government to double their investment

navele su vladu SAD-a da udvostruči svoja ulaganja

into Global Partnership for Education.

u globalno partnerstvo za obrazovanje.

And here's Dr. Raj Shah,

Evo i dr Radža Šaa,

the head of USAID, making that announcement.

rukovodioca USAID-a, koji daje to saopštenje.

See, when thousands of global citizens find inspiration from each other,

Vidite, kada hiljade globalnih građana nalaze inspiraciju jedni u drugima,

it's amazing to see their collective power.

neverovatno je videti njihovu kolektivnu snagu.

Global citizens like Davinia helped persuade the World Bank

Globalni građani poput Davinije pomogli su u ubeđivanju Svetske banke

to boost their investment into water and sanitation.

da poveća svoja ulaganja u vodu i kanalizaciju.

Here's the Bank's president Jim Kim announcing 15 billion dollars onstage

Evo predsednika banke Džima Kima koji najavljuje 15 milijardi dolara

na bini „Globalnog građanina“,

at Global Citizen,

and Prime Minister Modi of India affirmed his commitment

a Modi, premijer Indije, potvrdio je svoje obavezivanje

to put a toilet in every household and school across India by 2019.

da postavi toalet u svakom domaćinstvu i školi širom Indije do 2019. godine.

Global citizens encouraged by the late-night host Stephen Colbert

Globalni građani koje je podstakao voditelj večernjih emisija Stiven Kolber

launched a Twitter invasion on Norway.

pokrenuli su putem Tvitera invaziju na Norvešku.

Erna Solberg, the country's Prime Minister, got the message,

Erna Solberg, premijer ove zemlje, primila je poruku,

committing to double investment into girls' education.

prihvativši obavezu da udvostruči ulaganja u obrazovanje devojčica.

Global citizens together with Rotarians called on the Canadian, UK,

Globalni građani, udruženi sa Rotarijancima,

apelovali su na vlade Kanade, Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Australije

and Australian governments

to boost their investment into polio eradication.

da povećaju svoje ulaganje u iskorenjivanje dečje paralize.

They got together and committed 665 million dollars.

Okupili su se i obavezali na 665 miliona dolara.

But despite all of this momentum,

Međutim, uprkos ovom zamahu,

we face some huge challenges.

suočavamo se sa ogromnim izazovima.

See, you might be thinking to yourself,

Vidite, možda ste se zapitali:

how can we possibly persuade world leaders

„Kako uopšte možemo da ubedimo svetske predvodnike

to sustain a focus on global issues?

da održe fokus na globalnim problemima?“

Indeed, the powerful American politician Tip O'Neill once said,

Zaista, moćni američki političar Tip O'Nil je jednom rekao:

"All politics is local."

„Celokupna politika je lokalnog karaktera.“

That's what always got politicians elected:

To je uvek bilo ono što je političare dovodilo na vlast -

to seek, gain and hold onto power

traganje za moći, njeno sticanje i držanje za nju kroz bavljenje lokalnim

through the pursuit of local or at very best national interests.

ili, u najboljem slučaju, nacionalnim interesima.

I experienced this for the first time when I was 21 years old.

Prvi put sam ovo iskusio kada sam imao 21 godinu.

I took a meeting

Sastao sam se

with a then-Australian Foreign Minister who shall remain nameless --

sa tadašnjim australijskim ministrom za spoljne poslove

koji će ostati neimenovan -

[Alexander Downer]

[Aleksander Dauner]

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And behind closed doors,

Iza zatvorenih vrata,

I shared with him my passion to end extreme poverty.

podelio sam sa njim svoju strast prema okončanju ekstremnog siromaštva.

I said, "Minister -- Australia has this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Rekao sam: „Ministre, Australija ima ovu jedinstvenu priliku

to help achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

da pomogne u ostvarivanju milenijumskih ciljeva razvoja.

We can do this."

Mi to možemo.“

And he paused,

Zastao je,

looked down on me with cold, dismissive eyes,

pogledao me hladnim očima koje odbacuju

and he said, "Hugh,

i rekao: „Hju,

no one gives a funk about foreign aid."

boli nekog briga za inostranu pomoć.“

Except he didn't use the word "funk."

Osim što nije upotrebio reč „briga“.

He went on.

Nastavio je.

He said we need to look after our own backyard first.

Rekao je da treba da se prvo pobrinemo za svoje probleme.

This is, I believe,

To je, po mom mišljenju,

outdated, even dangerous thinking.

zastarelo, čak i opasno mišljenje,

Or as my late grandfather would say,

ili, kako bi moj pokojni deda rekao

complete BS.

potpuna glupost.

Parochialism offers this false dichotomy

Parohijalizam daje ovu lažnu dihotomiju

because it pits the poor in one country against the poor in another.

jer stavlja siromašne iz jedne zemlje naspram siromašnih iz druge.

It pretends we can isolate ourselves and our nations from one another.

Pretvara se da možemo izolovati sebe i svoje nacije jedne od drugih.

The whole world is our backyard,

Ceo svet je naše dvorište

and we ignore it at our peril.

i to ignorišemo na svoju štetu.

See, look what happened when we ignored Rwanda,

Vidite šta se dogodilo kada smo ignorisali Ruandu,

when we ignore Syria,

kada ignorišemo Siriju,

when we ignore climate change.

kada ignorišemo klimatske promene.

Political leaders ought to give a "funk"

Političare treba da boli briga,

because the impact of climate change and extreme poverty

jer uticaj klimatskih promena i ekstremnog siromaštva

comes right to our shore.

dolazi pravo na naša vrata.

Now, global citizens -- they understand this.

Globalni građani to razumeju.

We live in a time that favors the global citizen,

Živimo u vremenu koje je blagonaklono prema globalnim građanima,

in an age where every single voice can be heard.

u vremenu gde se može čuti svaki pojedinačni glas.

See, do you remember

Da li se sećate

kada su milenijumski ciljevi razvoja potpisani 2000. godine?

when the Millennium Development Goals were signed back in the year 2000?

The most we could do in those days was fire off a letter

Najviše što smo mogli tih dana je da uputimo pismo

and wait for the next election.

i čekamo sledeće izbore.

There was no social media.

Nije bilo društvenih mreža.

Today, billions of citizens have more tools,

Danas, milijarde građana ima više sredstava,

more access to information,

više pristupa informacijama,

more capacity to influence than ever before.

više kapaciteta da utiču nego ikada ranije.

Both the problems and the tools to solve them are right before us.

Problemi i sredstva za njihovo rešavanje se nalaze upravo ispred nas.

The world has changed,

Svet se promenio,

and those of us who look beyond our borders

a oni među nama koji gledaju izvan granica

are on the right side of history.

nalaze se na pravoj strani istorije.

So where are we?

Dakle, gde se nalazimo?

So we run this amazing festival,

Održali smo sjajan festival,

we've scored some big policy wins,

postigli smo neke velike političke pobede

and citizens are signing up all over the world.

i građani se prijavljuju širom sveta.

But have we achieved our mission?

Ipak, jesmo li ostvarili našu misiju?

No.

Ne.

We have such a long way to go.

Imamo dalek put pred nama.

But this is the opportunity that I see.

Ipak, ja u ovome vidim priliku.

The concept of global citizenship,

Koncept globalnog građanstva,

self-evident in its logic but until now impractical in many ways,

očigledan po svojoj logici, ali do sada nepraktičan po mnogo čemu,

has coincided with this particular moment in which we are privileged to live.

podudario se sa ovim specifičnim momentom u kome imamo privilegiju da živimo.

We, as global citizens,

Mi, kao globalni građani,

now have a unique opportunity to accelerate large-scale positive change

sada imamo jedinstvenu priliku da ubrzamo pozitivne promene velikih razmera

around the world.

širom sveta.

So in the months and years ahead,

Dakle, mesecima i godinama pred nama,

global citizens will hold world leaders accountable

globalni građani će predvodnike pozivati na odgovornost

to ensure that the new Global Goals for Sustainable Development

da bi se postarali da novi globalni ciljevi održivog razvoja

are tracked and implemented.

idu pravom putanjom i da se ispunjavaju.

Global citizens will partner with the world's leading NGOs

Globalni građani će se udružiti da vodećim svetskim NVO-ima

to end diseases like polio and malaria.

da bi okončali bolesti kao što su dečja paraliza i malarija.

Global citizens will sign up in every corner of this globe,

Globalni građani će se prijavljivati sa svih strana ove planete,

increasing the frequency, quality

povećavajući učestalost, kvalitet

and impact of their actions.

i uticaj njihovih akcija.

These dreams are within reach.

Ti snovi su nadohvat ruke.

Imagine an army of millions

Zamislite milionsku vojsku

growing into tens of millions,

koja raste na desetine miliona,

connected, informed, engaged

povezanu, informisanu, angažovanu

and unwilling to take no for an answer.

i bez naklonosti ka prihvatanju „ne“ kao odgovora.

Over all these years,

Tokom svih ovih godina,

I've tried to reconnect with Sonny Boy.

pokušavao sam da se ponovo povežem sa Sani Bojem.

Sadly, I've been unable to.

Nažalost, nisam uspeo.

We met long before social media,

Sreli smo se davno pre društvenih mreža,

and his address has now been relocated by the authorities,

a njegovu adresu su do sada premestili organi vlasti,

as often happens with slums.

kao što obično biva sa sirotinjskim krajevima.

I'd love to sit down with him,

Voleo bih da sednem sa njim

wherever he is,

gde god da je

and share with him how much the time I spent on Smoky Mountain inspired me.

i da podelim sa njim

koliko me je inspirisalo vreme koje sam proveo na Dimnoj planini.

Thanks to him and so many others,

Zahvaljujući njemu i mnogim drugima,

I came to understand the importance of being part of a movement of people --

shvatio sam značaj postajanja delom pokreta ljudi -

the kids willing to look up from their screens and out to the world,

dece voljne da sklone pogled sa ekrana i usmere ga ka svetu,

the global citizens.

globalnih građana.

Global citizens who stand together,

Globalnih građana koji stoje zajedno,

who ask the question "Why?,"

koji postavljaju pitanje: „Zašto?“,

who reject the naysayers,

koji odbacuju one koji govore „ne“,

and embrace the amazing possibilities of the world we share.

i prihvataju neverovatne mogućnosti sveta koji delimo.

I'm a global citizen.

Ja sam globalni građanin.

Are you?

Da li ste to i vi?

Thank you.

Hvala.
