Martin Luther King

马丁·路德·金

did not say,

在他推动民权运动的时候

"I have a nightmare,"

不是说：

when he inspired the civil rights movements.

"我有一个恶梦"。

He said, "I have a dream."

他说的是："我有一个梦想。"

And I have a dream.

而我也有一个梦想.

I have a dream that we can stop thinking

我的梦想是我们不再觉得

that the future will be a nightmare,

未来会是一场恶梦。

and this is going to be a challenge,

这对我们来说是一个挑战,

because, if you think

因为, 如果你回想

of every major blockbusting film of recent times,

一下最近所有的关于人类未来的大片,

nearly all of its visions for humanity

几乎所有对人类未来的景象

are apocalyptic.

都是灾难性的。

I think this film

我觉得

is one of the hardest watches of modern times, "The Road."

"末日危途(The Road)"是让人看了最难过的一部电影。

It's a beautiful piece of filmmaking,

从电影拍摄的角度来说，它的制作非常优美,

but everything is desolate,

但是一切都是那么的荒凉,

everything is dead.

所有的东西都是死的。

And just a father and son

只有一对父子

trying to survive, walking along the road.

努力的生存下去,在路上走着。

And I think the environmental movement

而我也觉得环保运动，

of which I am a part of

这个我自己也参与的运动，

has been complicit

一直在推波助澜

in creating this vision of the future.

地制造这这么一种未来的景象。

For too long,

在太长的一段时间里,

we have peddled a nightmarish vision

我们兜售着一个噩梦般的景象

of what's going to happen.

来描述将要发生的一切。

We have focused on the worst-case scenario.

我们一直把注意力集中在最坏的情况上.

We have focused on the problems.

我们一直把注意力集中在问题上.

And we have not thought enough

而我们没有认真地思考

about the solutions.

怎么解决这些问题。

We've used fear, if you like,

可以说，我们在使用恐惧

to grab people's attention.

来吸引人们的注意力.

And any psychologist will tell you

而任何心理学家都会告诉你

that fear in the organism

恐惧感在生命体里

is linked to flight mechanism.

是和逃跑机制挂钩的.

It's part of the fight and flight mechanism,

这是当一只动物感受到恐惧的时候

that when an animal is frightened --

决定是战斗还是逃跑的生物系统的一部分--

think of a deer.

想象一只鹿.

A deer freezes very, very still,

一只鹿会停下来一动不动,

poised to run away.

做好逃跑的准备。

And I think that's what we're doing

而我想这正是我们所做的,

when we're asking people to engage with our agenda

当我们要求人们加入到我们的

around environmental degradation and climate change.

关于环境破坏和气候改变的计划的时候。

People are freezing and running away

人们停下来，然后准备逃跑，

because we're using fear.

And I think the environmental movement has to grow up

我认为环保运动应该成熟起来，

and start to think about

开始思考

what progress is.

我们所谓的进步是什么意思。

What would it be like to be improving the human lot?

怎样才算改善全人类的生活?

And one of the problems that we face, I think,

我认为我们面对的问题之一,

is that the only people that have cornered the market

是那些操纵了市场的人:

in terms of progress

在定义进步的时候

is a financial definition of what progress is,

是用金钱来定义进步，

an economic definition of what progress is --

是用经济来定义进步 --

that somehow,

他们说，通过某些办法,

if we get the right numbers to go up,

只要我们让某些恰当的项目的数值增加，

we're going to be better off,

那么我们就会好起来。

whether that's on the stock market,

无论是股市也好,

whether that's with GDP

国民生产总值也好,

and economic growth,

或者经济增长也好,

that somehow life is going to get better.

只要是增长，生活就会好起来。

This is somehow appealing to human greed

这从某种角度是符合人类的贪欲

instead of fear --

而不是恐惧 --

that more is better.

觉得越多越好。

Come on. In the Western world, we have enough.

其实，在西方世界,我们拥有的够多了.

Maybe some parts of the world don't, but we have enough.

也许世界上的一些地方在物质上还缺乏,但我们拥有的已经够多了.

And we've know for a long time that this is not a good measure

而我们也早就知道了这并不是一个好的衡量

of the welfare of nations.

国家的福利的标准。

In fact, the architect of our national accounting system,

事实上，我们的会计制度的设计师,

Simon Kuznets, in the 1930s,

西蒙·库兹涅茨在1930年代

said that, "A nation's welfare

就说过, "一个国家的福利

can scarcely be inferred from their national income."

是难以从这个国家的收入来推断的."

But we've created a national accounting system

但是我们创造的这个会计系统

which is firmly based on production

却是牢牢地建立在生产力

and producing stuff.

和生产东西之上的。

And indeed, this is probably historical, and it had its time.

确实，也许在历史上这个生产力标准也有它适用的时候。

In the second World War, we needed to produce a lot of stuff.

在二战的年代，我们必须生产很多东西。

And indeed, we were so successful at producing certain types of stuff

确实，我们以前在生产某些东西上是多么的成功，

that we destroyed a lot of Europe, and we had to rebuild it afterwards.

以至于我们摧毁了欧洲的很大一部分,然后又不得不进行重建.

And so our national accounting system

所以我们的国家核算制度

became fixated on what we can produce.

就只计算我们所能生产的东西了。

But as early as 1968,

但早在1968年,

this visionary man, Robert Kennedy,

这位卓有远见的人, 罗伯特.肯尼迪

at the start of his ill-fated presidential campaign,

在开始他没有成功的总统竞选的时候

gave the most eloquent deconstruction

对国民生产总值这个标准

of gross national product

进行了史无前例的

that ever has been.

最有力的抨击。

And he finished his talk with the phrase,

他用以下这段话结束了他的演讲,

that, "The gross national product

他说："国民生产总值

measures everything except that

衡量了所有的东西，唯独没有衡量的

which makes life worthwhile."

是那些使生命真正有价值的东西。"

How crazy is that? That our measure of progress,

是不是很荒唐? 这个我们衡量增长的标准，

our dominant measure of progress in society,

我们衡量社会进步的最重要的标准,

is measuring everything

衡量一切,

except that which makes life worthwhile?

唯独不衡量让生命有意义的东西?

I believe, if Kennedy was alive today,

我相信, 如果肯尼迪今天还在世,

he would be asking statisticians such as myself

他一定会要求我们这些统计学家

to go out and find out

到社会中去，去找到

what makes life worthwhile.

到底是什么让生命有价值。

He'd be asking us to redesign

他会要求我们重新设计

our national accounting system

我们的国家核算系统,

to be based upon

让它建立在

such important things as social justice,

那些重要的东西上, 例如社会的公正和正义,

sustainability

可持续性,

and people's well-being.

还有人民的幸福感。

And actually, social scientists have already gone out

而实际上，社会科学家们已经开始

and asked these questions around the world.

在世界各地问这些问题。

This is from a global survey.

这是一个全球性的调查.

It's asking people, what do they want.

它问人们,他们想要什么。

And unsurprisingly, people all around the world

不足为奇地,世界各地的人们

say that what they want

说他们所要的

is happiness, for themselves,

是幸福和快乐, 他们自己的,

for their families, their children,

他们家庭的, 他们孩子的,

their communities.

他们社区的幸福和快乐.

Okay, they think money is slightly important.

不错, 他们觉得金钱有一点重要，.

It's there, but it's not nearly as important as happiness,

这是事实, 但是它跟幸福相比是微不足道的，

and it's not nearly as important as love.

它跟爱相比也是微不足道的。

We all need to love and be loved in life.

我们在人生中都需要爱和被爱。

It's not nearly as important as health.

金钱跟健康相比也是微不足道的。

We want to be healthy and live a full life.

我们都想要健康地过圆满的一生.

These seem to be natural human aspirations.

这些都是人类天生的渴望。

Why are statisticians not measuring these?

为什么统计学家们没有去衡量这些东西呢?

Why are we not thinking of the progress of nations in these terms,

为什么我们不从这些角度来考虑国家的进步

instead of just how much stuff we have?

而不是只计算我们有多少物质呢?

And really, this is what I've done with my adult life --

确实, 这是我成年后一直在做的--

is think about how do we measure happiness,

就是思考我们怎么样来衡量快乐和幸福,

how do we measure well-being,

怎么样来衡量满足和惬意,

how can we do that within environmental limits.

我们怎样在不过度破坏环境的前提下做到这点。

And we created, at the organization that I work for,

在我上班的地方，

the New Economics Foundation,

新经济基金会，我们提出了

something we call the Happy Planet Index,

一个我们称之为全球幸福指数的指标,

because we think people should be happy and the planet should be happy.

因为我们认为人们应该快乐而整个地球也应该快乐。

Why don't we create a measure of progress that shows that?

为什么我们不建立一个指标来衡量这方面的进步呢?

And what we do,

而我们所做的,

is we say that the ultimate outcome of a nation

就是我们指出衡量一个国家的最终指标

is how successful is it

是它能多成功地

at creating happy and healthy lives for its citizens.

为它的公民带来快乐而健康的生活。

That should be the goal

这个目标应该是

of every nation on the planet.

世界上每个国家的目标。

But we have to remember

但我们必须要记住

that there's a fundamental input to that,

它有一个最基本的元素，

and that is how many of the planet's resources we use.

而那就是我们使用了地球上多少的资源。

We all have one planet. We all have to share it.

我们只有一个地球,我们都需要分享它.

It is the ultimate scarce resource,

这个我们共享的星球

the one planet that we share.

是我们的终极稀有资源。

And economics is very interested in scarcity.

经济学对稀有的东西是非常感兴趣的。

When it has a scarce resource

当它有一个稀有资源

that it wants to turn into

而它要把其变成

a desirable outcome,

一个合意的结果,

it thinks in terms of efficiency.

它会从效率上来考虑问题.

It thinks in terms of how much bang do we get for our buck.

它会考虑我们要为我们的所得付出多少.

And this is a measure of how much well-being

而这个标准衡量我们可以通过消耗多少地球资源

we get for our planetary resource use.

来换取多少幸福。

It is an efficiency measure.

这是一个衡量效率的标准.

And probably the easiest way to show you that,

也许最容易说清楚的办法

is to show you this graph.

是看这个图。

Running horizontally along the graph,

这个图的横坐标

is "ecological footprint,"

是"生态脚印,"

which is a measure of how much resources we use

这是一个衡量我们使用多少自然资源

and how much pressure we put on the planet.

和我们给地球多少压力的标准。

More is bad.

这个指标越高越不好.

Running vertically upwards,

往上走的纵坐标,

is a measure called "happy life years."

是一个叫"快乐生命年数"的标准.

It's about the well-being of nations.

这是一个关于国家幸福度的标准.

It's like a happiness adjusted life-expectancy.

它是一个根据幸福度做过调整的寿命期望值，

It's like quality and quantity of life in nations.

象征着各个国家的生命质量和数量。

And the yellow dot there you see, is the global average.

那个黄点，是全球的平均值。

Now, there's a huge array of nations

现在, 那里有很多国家

around that global average.

在全球平均值附近.

To the top right of the graph,

在这个图 的右上角,

are countries which are doing reasonably well and producing well-being,

是一些提供幸福生活上做得比较好的国家，

but they're using a lot of planet to get there.

但代价是他们用了地球很多的资源。

They are the U.S.A.,

包括美国,

other Western countries going across in those triangles

其他一些在那些三角形上的西方国家,

and a few Gulf states in there actually.

还有几个波斯湾的国家。

Conversely, at the bottom left of the graph,

相反地, 在这个图的左下方,

are countries that are not producing much well-being --

是那些没有提供多少幸福生活的国家--

typically, sub-Saharan Africa.

典型的便是非洲沙哈拉以南的国家.

In Hobbesian terms,

用托马斯·霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes)的说法,

life is short and brutish there.

那里的生命是短暂而又粗野的.

The average life expectancy in many of these countries

在很多这些国家的人均寿命

is only 40 years.

只有40岁。

Malaria, HIV/AIDS

疟疾, 艾滋病

are killing a lot of people

夺走了那些地区的

in these regions of the world.

There are some countries up there, yellow triangles,

在这上面的一些国家,那些黄色的三角形,

that are doing better than global average,

做得比全球平均值好,

that are heading up towards the top left of the graph.

在向这个图的左上角移动。

This is an aspirational graph.

We want to be top left, where good lives don't cost the earth.

我们要达到图的左上方, 在那里好的生活并不会消耗地球太多资源.

They're Latin American.

那些是拉丁美洲国家.

The country on its own up at the top

那个在图的上方独占鳌头的国家

is a place I haven't been to.

是一个我没去过的地方.

Maybe some of you have.

也许你们当中的一些人去过那里.

Costa Rica.

哥斯达黎加.

Costa Rica --

哥斯达黎加--

average life expectancy is 78-and-a-half years.

人均寿命是78.5岁.

That is longer than in the USA.

是地球上最快乐的国家--

than anybody; more than Switzerland and Denmark.

他们比谁都快乐,比瑞士和丹麦都更快乐.

They are the happiest place.

They are doing that

但是他们只使用了

on a quarter of the resources

典型的西方世界所用资源的

that are used typically in [the] Western world --

四分之一，

a quarter of the resources.

只用四分之一的资源。

What's going on there?

那怎么回事呢?

What's happening in Costa Rica?

哥斯达黎加有什么不同?

We can look at some of the data.

99 percent of their electricity comes from renewable resources.

他们的电力99%来自可再生能源.

Their government is one of the first to commit

他们的政府是最早承诺

to be carbon neutral by 2021.

(Laughter)

(笑声)

The challenge is, that possibly -- and the thing we might have to think about --

这其中的挑战在于,也许还有我们可能要考虑到的--

is that the future

就是我们未来的学习的榜样

might not be North American,

也许不是北美洲,

might not be Western European.

也许不是西欧.

And if we're going to do that,

如果我们要做到这点,

we need to pull countries from the bottom,

我们需要把在底部的国家拉上来,

and we need to pull countries from the right of the graph.

而我们也需要把在图的右边的国家拉过来左边.

And then we're starting to create a happy planet.

那么我们就是在开始创建一个快乐的地球.

That's one way of looking at it.

这是看待这件事的一个方法.

Another way of looking at it is looking at time trends.

另外一个看待这个幸福地球理论的方法是看历史发展趋势。

We don't have good data going back for every country in the world,

我们没有好的数据来追溯世界上的每个国家,

but for some of the richest countries, the OECD group, we do.

但是我们有世界经贸合作组织中一些富有的国家的数据。

And this is the trend in well-being over that time,

而这正是那个时代追求幸福指数的历史趋势,

a small increase,

是一个小的进步,

but this is the trend in ecological footprint.

但这是生态脚印的催势,

And so in strict happy-planet methodology,

所以从严格的快乐地球的方法论的角度,

we've become less efficient

我们在把稀有资源转化为

at turning our ultimate scarce resource

我们想要的产出这方面来说，

into the outcome we want to.

变得效率更低了。

And the point really is, is that I think,

这其中的要点是,我想,

probably everybody in this room

And I put it to you, that is not business as usual.

我跟你们说, 这不是舞照跳马照跑.

That is changing our business.

这意味着我们必须改变做事方式，

That is changing the way we create our organizations,

意味着我们必须改变我们创建组织的方式,

we do our government policy and we live our lives.

行政的方式, 还有生活方式。

And the point is,

其要点在于,

we need to carry on increasing well-being.

我们必须继续调高生活的幸福度.

No one can go to the polls

没有一个去投票的人

and say that quality of life is going to reduce.

会说生活的质量将要下降。

None of us, I think,

我相信没有人

want human progress to stop.

会希望人类停止进步。

I think we want it to carry on.

我想我们都希望这些进步能继续下去.

I think we want the lot of humanity to keep on increasing.

我觉得我们都希望人类能够变得更加美好。

And I think this is where climate change skeptics and deniers come in.

我觉得这正是为什么会有对气候变化质疑和否定的人.

I think this is what they want. They want quality of life to keep increasing.

我想这是他们所要的, 他们要生活水平继续提高.

They want to hold on to what they've got.

他们要保留住他们所有的东西.

And if we're going to engage them,

如果我们要把他们笼络进来，

I think that's what we've got to do.

那些就是我们需要满足他们的。

And that means we have to really increase efficiency even more.

这就意味着我们真的需要更进一步的提高我们的效率。

Now that's all very easy to draw graphs and things like that,

制作一些图表或者类似的东西很容易,

but the point is we need to turn those curves.

但是要点是我们要把那些曲线转过来.

And this is where I think we can take a leaf

这是我觉得我们应该向

out of systems theory, systems engineers,

系统理论和系统工程师学习的地方,

where they create feedback loops,

他们制造出反馈回路,

put the right information at the right point of time.

在恰当的时间反馈正确的信息。

Human beings are very motivated by the "now."

当你看到电表显示你正在用多少电，

how much it's costing you,

告诉你花掉多少钱的时候,

your kids go around and turn the lights off pretty quickly.

你的小孩会很快的去把灯关掉。

What would that look like for society?

这样的东西应用在社会上会怎么样呢?

Why is it, on the radio news every evening,

为什么每天晚上的新闻

I hear the FTSE 100, the Dow Jones, the dollar pound ratio --

我都听到伦敦金融时报100指数，道琼斯工业指数, 美元对英镑的汇率 --

And the point of these is

这其中的要点是

they are, not quite, the secrets of happiness,
