Now when I was two years old,

我两岁的时候，

I moved to Greenland with my parents and my sister,

和父母、姐姐一起搬到了格陵兰岛，

and we lived there for seven years.

我们在那里生活了七年。

It is quite a remarkable place to grow up as a child.

对于小孩子的成长来说， 这是一个非常了不起的地方。

I remember Greenland as a very tough environment.

我记得格陵兰岛自然环境十分恶劣。

It was always cold, very dark, and there was lots of snow.

天总是很冷，很黑，还有很多雪。

Not green at all.

完全不绿 （格陵兰直译为“绿地”）。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

I actually believe that the word "Greenland"

我相信“格陵兰岛”这个词

is the first example of greenwashing in this world.

就是全世界首个漂绿的例子。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Now, seven years in Greenland

在格陵兰岛的七年生活告诉我，

taught me that our lives largely depend on the forces of nature.

我们的生活很大程度上 取决于大自然的力量。

And 50 years later, in April 2022,

50 年后，即 2022 年 4 月，

I had the opportunity to participate in an expedition to northeast Greenland,

我有机会参加了一次前往 格陵兰岛东北部的探险，

with 13 dogs, a dogsled and a tent.

带着 13 只狗、 一套狗拉雪橇和一个帐篷。

This time, I only stayed for seven days,

这次，我只呆了七天，

but enough to see the big changes in nature.

但足以看到大自然的巨大变化。

Normally, the temperature in northeast Greenland, in April,

通常，4 月份格陵兰岛东北部的气温

is around minus 20 degrees Celsius,

约为零下 20 摄氏度，

but that week,

但是那一周，

we had days where the temperature was above the freezing point.

有几天的气温都在冰点以上。

You could almost hear the ice melting, in April.

四月份，你几乎能听见冰层融化的声音。

Wow.

哇。

So as I came back, I studied how much sea levels would rise

因此我回来后作了研究，

如果格陵兰岛的冰融化， 海平面会升高多少。

if all the ice in Greenland would melt.

I knew it was bad,

我知道情况很糟糕，

but honestly, I didn't know it was that bad.

但说实话，我不知道有那么糟糕。

Six to seven meters.

六到七米。

I know now, and knowing is important,

我现在知道了，知道很重要，

because when we know, we can do something.

因为当我们知道时，我们就能做点什么。

But between knowing and doing, there is choosing.

但是在知与行之间，有选择。

By now, I think, we all kind of know.

我想，到目前为止，我们都知道了。

So the questions are: “What are we choosing?”

所以问题是： “我们将选择什么？”

And “What are we doing?”

还有 “我们要干什么？”

If we want to avoid a climate disaster,

如果我们想避免气候灾难，

we need much more radical leadership.

我们需要更激进的领导力。

Now, some companies have chosen --

一些公司选择了——

actually, many companies have chosen --

实际上，许多公司已经选择了——

to commit to net-zero emissions by 2030 or 2040,

承诺到 2030 年或 2040 年 实现净零排放，

which is great news, but the progress is far too slow.

这是个好消息，但进展太慢了。

CO2 emissions are still rising,

二氧化碳排放量仍在增加，

and if we do want to avoid that climate disaster,

如果我们真的想避免气候灾难，

I believe we need to be much more radical in our leadership.

我认为我们的领导层需要更加激进。

(Cheers and applause)

（欢呼和掌声）

When it comes to choosing, we need more courage.

面临选择的时侯， 我们需要更多的勇气。

Our choices need to be based on what is necessary,

我们需要基于必要性作出选择，

not what seems possible right now.

而不是基于现在“看似可能”作出选择。

If we choose to pursue impossible big dreams,

如果我们选择追求 看似不可能的远大梦想，

we spark the imagination of people,

就会激发人们的想象力，

and the impossible becomes possible.

不可能就会变成可能。

Like we did at Maersk in 2018,

就像我们 2018 年 在马士基所做的那样，

when we committed to zero-carbon shipping,

当时我们承诺零碳航运，

without knowing how to do it.

但并不知道该怎么做。

And when it comes to doing, we need much more collaboration.

说到做，我们需要更广泛的合作。

For more than 100 years,

100 多年来，

we've learned how to specialize and optimize our part of the value chain,

我们已经学会了如何 专业化和优化价值链部分，

but if we want the kind of change that is necessary,

但如果我们想进行必要的变革，

we need to reinvent the entire value chain based on zero carbon,

我们需要在零碳的基础上 重塑整个价值链，

not just a piece of it.

而不仅仅是其中的一部分。

At a time when some people talk about deglobalization,

当一些人谈论去全球化的时候，

we need more global collaboration

我们需要比以往任何时候都 更多地围绕可持续技术开展全球合作，

around sustainable technologies than ever before,

not less.

而不是更少。

It reminds me of the time in my youth

这让我想起了年轻时，

when I played the trumpet in a symphony orchestra.

在交响乐团吹小号的时候。

It was a great experience,

这是一次很棒的经历，

mostly because my fellow musicians played really, really well.

主要是因为我的乐手同伴们 演奏得非常非常好。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

Now if you want to change the music of a symphony orchestra,

如果你想改变交响乐团的音乐，

it really doesn’t make sense to ask the trumpets to play a different tune

要求小号手或小提琴手演奏不同的曲调 没有任何意义。

or the violins.

You need a new sheet of music for all the musicians at the same time,

你需要同时为所有乐手 准备一张新的乐谱，

and you might even need to replace some of the instruments.

甚至可能需要更换一些乐器。

Northvolt was created like that.

Northvolt就是这样创建的。

The founders had the courage to reimagine

创始人有勇气重新构想，

a zero-carbon value chain for batteries,

基于回收的电池零碳价值链。

based on recycling.

And as a new instrument,

作为一种全新的创造，

they invented a way to take back the raw materials in used batteries,

他们发明了一种方法， 可以回收废旧电池中的原材料，

and use them again and again and again.

并一次又一次地使用它们。

That is the kind of radical leadership we need.

这就是我们需要的那种激进的领导力。

We need to have the courage

我们需要有勇气

to orchestrate the reinvention of the entire value chain, end to end,

协调整个价值链端到端的重塑，

and we need to have massive collaboration to get it done in time.

我们需要进行大规模的合作 才能及时完成任务。

And the good news?

好消息是，

Well, from my experience with Maersk,

从我在马士基以及现在 西门子和Northvolt的经验来看，

and now Siemens and Northvolt,

if you dream big and you have the openness for collaboration,

如果你有远大的梦想并愿意合作，

this is not only a necessary set of conditions

这不仅是努力取得成功的必要条件，

to be successful in the endeavor,

it is also becoming a huge business opportunity at Northvolt.

也将成为Northvolt的巨大商机。

We have an order book of 55 billion dollars of green batteries,

我们有一份价值 550 亿美元的绿色电池订单，

(Applause)

（掌声）

an eight-year-old company.

一家成立才八年的公司。

And Siemens -- thank you.

还有西门子——谢谢。

(Cheers and applause)

（欢呼和掌声）

And Siemens is achieving the highest growth rate since 20 years,

西门子正在实现 20 年来的最高增长率，

because we are decarbonizing industrial and urban infrastructures

因为我们正在与合作伙伴密切合作， 实现工业和城市基础设施的脱碳。

in close collaboration with our partners.

There are so many examples out there,

还有很多例子，

but we need many, many more.

但我们需要更多的例子。

And that is what the TED Future Forum is all about.

这就是TED未来论坛的全部目的。

It's a growing community of companies

这是一个不断壮大的公司社区，

whose leaders have the courage to reinvent for a sustainable future,

他们的领导人有勇气 重塑可持续的未来，

and to share their stories,
