尽管这些年来，我已经是 许多倡议的一份子，

I'm really excited about this one.

我还是对这个倡议感到十分兴奋。

Because Countdown is an invitation to everyone, everyone,

old and young,

无论老少，

north and south.

无论南北。

CA: (Laughs) I see what you did there.

CA：（笑声）我看懂你的意思了。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

But look, our goal is not to plunge in

不过，我们的目标并不是

with something new that is competitive

推出一个与现有的优秀倡议

with the amazing initiatives already out there.

相竞争的新事物——

No.

不是这样——

It's to identify the best solutions that have already been worked on,

而是要找出已经研究过的 最佳解决方案，

to cross-fertilize them, to amplify them

将这些方案交叉放大，

and then activate them

然后通过将不同的群体

by bringing together these different groups.

召集在一起，来启动这些方案。

CF: And if that happens,

CF：如果这实现了，

we believe there is a way out of the climate crisis.

我们认为是有办法 摆脱气候危机的。

That's what we want to facilitate.

这就是我们想要促成的。

But now, Chris, question:

不过现在，克里斯，我有个问题：

Why are you and TED interested in participating

当我以为你们是在传播思想时，

and actually activating the climate agenda,

你和 TED 为什么会

when I thought you were all about spreading ideas?

对参与并启动气候议程感兴趣？

CA: Well, indeed, that has been our focused mission for the last 15 years,

CA：的确，在过去的 15 年中， 这一直是我们关注的重点——

Ideas Worth Spreading.

“传播值得传播的思想”。

But last summer,

但是去年夏天，

we concluded that the urgency of some issues,

我们得出结论， 有些问题的紧迫性——

and especially climate,

尤其是气候问题——

demanded that we try to do more than just spread ideas,

要求我们不仅要传播思想， 还要做更多的事情，

that we actually try to activate them.

真正地去启动这些事情。

Now, we're just a relatively small nonprofit --

我们只是一个相对较小的 非营利组织——

that would not amount to anything if we fail to bring other people on board.

如果我们无法吸引其他人加入， 那什么都做不成。

But the amazing thing is that that has happened.

但令人惊奇的是， 事情已经在发生了。

Everyone we've spoken to about this has got excited about participating.

与我们交流过的每个人 都希望能参与其中。

And one of the key moments, frankly, was when you came on board, Christiana.

实话说，其中一个关键时刻就是你， 克里斯蒂安娜，加入了我们。

I mean, you were key to the Paris Agreement.

你是《巴黎协定》诞生的关键。

And the world was stunned at the consensus that emerged there.

那个共识的出现震惊了整个世界。

What was the key to creating that consensus?

达成那个共识的关键是什么？

CF: I would say it was to really challenge and change people's assumption

CF：我想说的是， 当我们设定一个共同的意愿，

about what is possible if we set a shared intention

然后共同追求并实现这一目标时，

and then collectively pursue it and achieve it.

就可以挑战和改变人们的认知假设。

So our mantra then, and continues to be:

所以我们当时以及将来的口号都会是：

"Impossible is not a fact,

“ ‘不可能’ 不是一个事实，

it's an attitude."

而是一种态度。”

In fact, only an attitude,

而这种态度，

and that is something we can change.

是我们可以改变的。

CA: Well, that mantra, certainly, we're going to have to hold onto

CA：当然，在接下来的几个月里，

我们要坚持这个口号，

in the months ahead,

because the scientific consensus is actually worsening.

因为科学共识认为， 情况实际上在恶化。

For a quick report from the front lines,

下面让我们来看一段 来自前线的简短报导。

here's the head of the thousands of scientists

有请 IPCC （政府间气候变化专门委员会） 数千名科学家的总负责人，

who make up the IPCC, Dr. Hoesung Lee.

李洪顺（Hoesung Lee）博士。

(Video) Hoesung Lee: We recently released three special reports

（视频）李洪顺：我们最近 发布了三份特别的报告，

that show the damage and risks of past and future climate change.

显示了过去和未来 气候变化所带来的破坏和风险。

They also show that stabilizing climate

这些报告还表明，稳定气候

would imply a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

要求在短时间内显著降低

in the near term.

温室气体的排放。

Society will have to go through unprecedented changes

要实现这个目标，

全社会必须经历前所未有的变革。

to meet this goal.

Even limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius

即使将升温限制在 1.5 摄氏度，

will bring more extreme weather,

也会造成更多极端天气，

rising sea levels

海平面上升和

and water shortages in some regions,

某些地区的水资源短缺，

and threats to food security and biodiversity.

并对食物多样性 和生态多样性造成威胁。

Higher temperature will bring more of these damages,

更高的温度将带来更多这样的破坏，

threatening lives and livelihoods

威胁着全世界数百万人的

of millions of people all around the world.

生命和生计。

CA: We're lucky to have with us another world-leading scientist,

CA：我们很幸运在这里请到了 另一位世界顶级的科学家，

Johan Rockström here.

约翰 · 罗克斯特伦 （Johan Rockström）。

He was responsible for creating the Planetary Boundaries framework.

他曾负责构建了“行星边界”框架。

Johan, how serious is our situation?

约翰，我们目前的情况有多严重？

(Video) Johan Rockström: Last week, we released in "Nature"

（视频）约翰 · 罗克斯特伦 ：上周， 我们在《自然》杂志上发布了

地球系统中穿越临界点 和不可逆临界点的

the 10-year update of the risk of crossing tipping points,

irreversible tipping points, in the Earth system.

十年风险更新。

We know 15 such tipping points,

我们知道 15 个这样的临界点，

including the Greenland and West Antarctic ice shelf,

包括格陵兰和南极西部的冰架，

and the permafrost in the Siberian tundra, for example,

以及西伯利亚冻原的多年冻土。

and we today have observational evidence,

而今天我们有了观测证据，

I mean, empirical evidence,

也就是实验证据，

that nine of the 15 have woken up and are on the move.

这 15 个中的 9 个已经启动， 并且在不断发展变化中。

We haven't crossed the tipping point yet,

我们还没有越过临界点，

the window is still open,

仍然存在着机会窗口，

but they are warning us that now is the time to truly move,

但它们在警告我们， 现在是真正开始采取行动的时候了，

because the moment we cross them,

因为一旦我们越过临界点，

like, for example, approaching a tipping point in the Amazon rain forest,

比如逼近亚马逊雨林的临界点，

we would risk losing the battle,

我们将有可能输掉这场战斗，

because the planet will be taking over its self-reinforced warming.

因为地球会进入自我强化式的变暖。

So that is why this initiative is so incredibly important.

这就是为什么这项倡议 如此重要的原因。

Let's go.

让我们开始行动吧。

CA: Well said.

CA：说得好。

(Applause)

（掌声）

So, both are very clear there that this agenda of cutting emissions

所以，他们二位都 非常清楚减排这项议程

is absolutely crucial.

绝对至关重要。

How has that been going?

在你看来，最近进展如何？

CF: Not very well, because despite what we know,

CF：不是很好， 因为尽管我们了解了很多，

despite everything that science has told us,

尽管科学告诉了我们一切，

despite everything that we have done,

尽管我们做了很多，

including adopting the Paris Agreement,

包括通过了《巴黎协定》，

we've actually been increasing greenhouse gases consistently

但在过去的几十年中， 我们实际上一直在不断增加

over the past few decades,

温室气体的排放。

to the point where we're now at 55 gigatons

目前，全球人类

of carbon dioxide equivalent

每年排放的二氧化碳总量

that we are collectively, as humanity, emitting every year.

已经达到了 550 亿吨。

And as we have heard, we have one path,

正如我们所听到的， 我们只有一个选择，

there is one path that we have to follow, and that is:

只有一条路可走，那就是：

Start now to decrease emissions,

从现在起减少排放，

instead of going up, go down --

而不是先增排再减排——

reverse the trend, bend the curve.

在后期扭转这条趋势线。

Reduce emissions, starting in 2020,

从 2020 年开始减少排放，

to the point where we will be at one half the current level of emissions by 2030,

到 2030年，达到目前排放水平的一半，

and then continue decreasing them, until we are at net zero by 2050.

然后继续减少排放， 直到 2050 年实现净排放为零。

It's the only path that we can accept.

这是我们唯一可以接受的道路。

CA: How do you even begin to start tackling a goal as daunting as that?

CA：你是如何开始着手 实现如此艰巨的目标的？

CF: Well, we could starting by breaking

CF：首先，我们可以将

the simple, yet daunting, challenge

简单但艰巨的挑战

into its constituent pieces,

分解成

five main areas.

五个主要的问题。

CA: And so these five together are actually all huge,

CA：这五个问题每一个都不小，

and if we can find compelling solutions in each of them,

如果我们在每个方面 都能找到令人信服的解决方案，

they would actually add up to an action plan

它们加起来实际上就是

that matches the scale of the problem.

一个与问题规模相匹配的行动计划。

Well, here are the five.

那么，就是这五个问题。

CF: Power.

CF：能源。

How rapidly can we move to 100 percent clean energy?

我们能多快的转向 百分之百的清洁能源？

CA: The built environment.

CA：构建环境。

How can we re-engineer the stuff that surrounds us?

我们怎样重新设计我们周围的事物？

CF: Transport.

CF：运输。

How do we transform the ways we move -- ourselves and goods?

我们如何改变我们自己 和货物的移动方式？

CA: Food.

CA：食物。

How can we spark a worldwide shift to healthier food systems?

我们如何开启全球性的， 向更健康食品体系的转变？

CF: And certainly, nature.

CF：当然，还有自然。

How extensively can we re-green the earth?

我们可以在多大程度上 重新绿化地球？

Now, it's worth noting that the answers to these questions

值得注意的是， 这些问题的答案

and the measures that we would undertake

以及我们将采取的措施

don't just reduce net emissions --

不仅会减少净排放量——

they do that, certainly, together, to zero --

肯定会减少到零——

but they also point the way to a future

而且还为我们指明了如何塑造

that is much better and genuinely exciting.

一个更好的、充满希望的未来。

So, think about cool new forms of transport,

那么，想想新颖的运输方式，

clean air, healthier food, beautiful forests

清洁的空气，更健康的食物， 美丽的森林

and oceans bursting with life.

以及充满生机的海洋。

So, you know, solving the climate crisis

解决气候危机

isn't about sacrificing and settling for a mediocre future,

并不意味着牺牲，和接受平庸的未来，

it's about the exact opposite.

恰恰相反，

It's about co-creating a much better future for all of us.

这意味着为我们所有人 共同创造一个更美好的未来。

CA: So how do we tackle these questions?

CA：那么我们如何解决这些问题？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

CA: Let's take this question here and think about this.

CA：以这个问题为例， 一起来思考一下。

How extensively can we re-green the earth?

我们可以在多大程度上 重新绿化地球？

I mean, there are obviously many responses to this question,

显然，针对这个问题有很多回应，

many proposals.

很多提议。

It's fundamentally about,

这个问题的着眼点在于，

"How do we increase the amount of sustainable photosynthesis

“我们如何增加地球上可持续的

on planet Earth."

光合作用量。”

Photosynthesis sequesters carbon.

因为光合作用会固定碳。

There could be proposals around giant kelp forests or seagrass,

相关的提议可以包括大面积 养殖海藻或海草，

or about forms of plants that have deeper roots

或者大面积种植根系更深，

and can sequester across the planet.

能够固定全球范围内碳元素的植物。

But suppose a major proposal that came out was about reforestation.

但是，假设其中一项 主要的提议是关于造林的——

A massive, global reforestation campaign.

一场大规模的全球植树造林运动。

I mean, a single organization, no matter how big,

我是说，单一的组织，无论多大，

cannot take that on.

都无法单独完成这项任务。

The key is for everyone to join forces,

关键是大家要团结起来，

for governments (with zoning),

政府要划分区域，

businesses to invest,

企业要投资，

investors to do that investing,

投资者要投资，

environmental groups and philanthropists who support them,

环境组织和慈善家要提供支持，

and just a massive movement among citizens everywhere,

各地的公民都要加入 这项巨大的运动，

transforming their lawns, their cities, their neighborhoods,

改造他们的草坪、他们的城市、 他们的社区，

going on trips together.

一同踏上这趟旅程。

That is where, suddenly, you can dream about something really big.

这时，你才能开始构想 一些宏大的目标。

CF: So can we test that theory?

CF：那我们可以 检验一下这个理论吗？

Because we are fortunate to have with us today

因为今天我们很荣幸的

someone who grew up inside a tree-planting movement,

邀请到了一位伴随着有可能是

probably the most well-recognized tree-planting movement.

最知名的植树运动成长的人。

And she is the daughter of the Nobel Prize winner

Trees have been, indeed, a part of my life for as long as I can remember,

but we also know that for centuries,

但我们也知道，数百年来，

trees and forests have cushioned us against the harsh impacts

树木和森林帮助我们抵御了 气候变化带来的

of climate variation

严峻影响，

for very many years.

But the world now needs us

但是世界现在需要我们

to plant 100 times more trees than we did then.

种植比那段时期 还要多 100 倍的树木。

And the only way to do that is for all of us to come together --

but for humans, a crisis is always also an opportunity.

但是对人类而言， 一场危机也往往意味着一个机遇。

If we make the right choices in the coming years,

如果我们在未来几年 做出正确的选择，

we cannot only save the ecosystem,

我们不仅可以拯救生态系统，

but we can also create a more just world

还可以创造一个更加公正的世界，

and make ourselves better people.

并使自己成为更好的人。

(Applause)

（掌声）

CF: So isn't that a powerful framing of what we have ahead of us,

CF：这不就是 对人类前途的一个有力总结吗？

and honestly, I think it is tragic

老实说，可悲的是，

that the power of transformation that we have ahead of us

我们面前的变革力量

is so severely diminished by those who would want to politicize the issue

被那些希望将问题政治化， 并将其分割为党派政治的人

and separate it into partisan politics.

严重的削弱了。

It cannot be a partisan issue,

这不能是党派问题，

it cannot be a politicized issue.

不能是政治化问题。

Happily, there are some who are working against that.

令人高兴的是，有一些人 正与政治化做着斗争。

Today, we have one of those people,

今天，我们邀请到了

a fantastically courageous climate scientist,

其中一位非常勇敢的气候科学家，

who is a committed Christian,

同时也是一位坚定的基督徒，

and who has been working on this issue

并且多年来一直

with conservatives and with the religious and spiritual communities for years,

以惊人的勇气致力于 与保守派以及宗教精神团体

with incredible courage.

合作解决这个问题。

Katharine Hayhoe.

有请凯瑟琳 · 海霍（Katharine Hayhoe）。

(Applause)

（掌声）

Katherine Hayhoe: When someone says climate change, we often think,

凯瑟琳 · 海霍：当有人提到 气候变化时，我们经常会想：

“哦，这只是一个环境问题。

"Oh, that's just an environmental issue.

只有环保人士或科学家才关心，

People who are tree huggers or scientists care about it,

或是那些在政治光谱上偏左的人。”

or maybe people who are on the left hand-side of the political spectrum."

但事实上， 尽管我们可能还没有意识到，

But the reality is, whether we know it or not,

我们其实已经在关注气候变化了， 无论我们是谁。

we already care about climate change, no matter who we are.

Why?

为什么？

Because climate change affects everything we already care about today.

因为气候变化影响了 我们今天关心的一切。

It affects our health,

它影响着我们的健康，

it affects the food we eat,

影响着我们吃的食物，

the water we drink, the air that we breathe.

我们喝的水， 我们呼吸的空气。

Climate change affects the economy and national security.

气候变化影响着经济和国家安全。

I care about a changing climate because it is, as the military calls it,

我关心气候变化， 因为正如军方所形容的，

a threat multiplier.

它是威胁的倍增器。

It takes issues like poverty and hunger,

它带来了诸如贫困和饥饿，

disease, lack of access to clean water,

疾病、缺乏清洁用水，

even political instability,

甚至政治不稳定之类的问题，

and exacerbates or amplifies them.

并使问题恶化或加剧。

That's why, to care about a changing climate,

这就是为什么关心气候变化，

we don't have to be a certain type of person.

我们并不需要是同一类人。

A thermometer isn't blue or red,

不论是民主党还是共和党，

liberal or conservative --

自由派还是保守派——

it gives us the same number no matter how we vote.

无论我们如何投票，气候变化 都会给我们相同的温度数字。

And we are all affected by the impacts of a changing climate.

气候变化影响着我们所有人。

So to care about a changing climate,

因此，要关心不断变化的气候，

all we have to be is one thing:

我们要做的只是成为这样的人：

a human, living on planet Earth.

一个生活在地球上的人类——

And we're all that.

而这正是我们每一个人。

(Applause)

（掌声）

CF: And finally,

CF：最后一位嘉宾——

他对气候变化的深切担忧 在多年前引起了

the man who brought this issue so powerfully to everyone's attention

years ago

所有人的关注，

and has continued tirelessly to work on that issue ever since.

并从那时起一直不懈地 致力于解决这一问题。

The one and very only, Al Gore.

有请独一无二的， 阿尔 · 戈尔（Al Gore）。

(Applause)

（掌声）

(Video) Al Gore: Thank you.

（掌声）

Thank you so much, Christiana,

非常感谢，克里斯蒂安娜，

and thank you for your outstanding leadership,

感谢你的出色领导，

and thank you, Chris Anderson and the entire TED community,

也感谢克里斯 · 安德森 和整个 TED 团体，

YouTube and all of the others who are joining

YouTube 以及其他所有加入

in this fantastic initiative.

这个非凡项目的人。

I have just three messages.

我想传达三条信息。

Number one, this crisis is incredibly urgent.

第一，这场危机非常紧急。

Just yesterday, the scientists gave us the report

就在昨天，有科学家向我们报告

that emissions are still going up.

排放量仍在上升。

Every single day,

每天，

we're putting 150 million tons of man-made global warming pollution

我们都会将 1.5 亿吨 人为的全球变暖污染物

into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet.

排放到地球周围稀薄的大气层中。

The accumulated amount now traps as much extra energy every day

每天积累的多余能量

as would be released by 500,000 first-generation atomic bombs

相当于每天引爆 50 万个 第一代原子弹

exploding every single day.

产生的能量。

And the consequences are increasingly clear --

这样做的后果也越来越明显——

all that mother nature is telling us,

大自然在不停的通过

the fires, and the sea-level rise,

肆虐的山火、海平面上升、

and the floods, and the mud slides,

洪水、泥石流

and the loss of living species.

和生物物种的灭绝来警告我们。

But the second message that I have is the hope is very real.

但是，我要传达的第二个信息是, 与此同时，希望也是触手可及的。

We actually do have the solutions available to us.

实际上，我们确实有现成的解决方案。

It is unfortunately true at this moment,

不幸的是，目前，

that the crisis is getting worse faster than we are mobilizing these solutions.

危机的恶化速度比 我们调动这些解决方案的速度还快。

But renewable energy and electric vehicles

但是，可再生能源、电动汽车、

and batteries and regenerative agriculture,

电池、可再生农业、

circular manufacturing,

循环制造

and all of these other solutions are gaining momentum.

以及所有其他解决方案 正在蓬勃发展。

The late economist Rudi Dornbusch,

已故的经济学家鲁迪 · 多恩布施 （Rudi Dornbusch）

in articulating what's known as Dornbusch's law, said,

在阐述多恩布施定律时说：

"Things take longer to happen than you think they will.

“事情发生的时间比你想象的要长。

But then, they happen much faster than you thought they could."

但是一旦发生，变化的速度 就会比你想象的要快得多。”

We can pick up the pace.

我们可以加快步伐。

We are gaining momentum

我们正蓄势待发，

and soon, we will be gaining on the crisis.

很快，我们就会战胜这场危机。

But it is essential that everyone join --

但是，实现这一切的关键在于， 每个人都必须参与进来——

of every political persuasion,

每个政治派别、

every ideological persuasion,

每种意识形态、

every nationality,

每个国籍、

every division has to be obliterated, so that we, humanity,

每种分裂都必须消除，以便于人类

can join together.

团结起来。

And in closing, I would just say that for anyone who doubts

最后我要说的是，对于任何怀疑

that we as human beings

我们作为人类

have the ability to rise to this occasion,

是否有能力走出这一困境的人，

when everything is on the line,

当一切都准备就绪时，

just remember that political will is itself a renewable resource.

请记住，政治意愿本身 就是一种可再生资源。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

(Applause)

（掌声）

CA: Thank you so much.

CA：非常感谢。

Thank you so much, Al, for your leadership on this issue

非常感谢你多年来 在此问题上的领导，

for so many years.

阿尔。

None of this would be possible

如果没有庞大而快速增长的合作伙伴，

without an extraordinary and fast-growing list of partners.

这一切都是不可能的。

I'd like to acknowledge them.

在此，我想对他们 表示衷心的感谢。

(Applause)

（掌声）

If you're watching this,

如果你正在观看直播，

you believe your organization should be part of this,

而且认为你的组织应该参与其中，

you can help in some way,

你能够以某种方式提供帮助，

join us, email me, [email protected].

请加入我们，给我发电子邮件： [email protected]。

This is going to take everyone.

所有人都可以。

OK, before the Q and A,

好，在问答环节开始之前，

I just want to ask you a question personally, Christiana.

我还想问你一个私人问题， 克里斯蒂安娜。

Like, what do you really think?

你的真实想法是什么？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

No, you've been in so many of these.

你参加过很多这样的活动。

Does this initiative have a chance?

这个倡议有机会获得成功吗？

CF: Well, first of all,

CF：好的，首先，

we are at the point where everything plays.

我们到了很多力量都已经

Everything plays.

动员起来的阶段。

And I'm really excited about this,

我对此感到非常兴奋。

because it has been very painful to me to see how over the past 12 to 18 months

在过去的 12 到 18 个月里， 我感到非常痛苦，

because of the tragically insufficient response

因为我们对气候变化的重视程度

that we have had to climate change,

还远远不够。

how that zeitgeist has been changing from where we were in Paris,

我们在巴黎时的那种

which was pretty positive and optimistic,

非常积极的时代精神，

to, now, despair, helplessness, anger.

已经转变成了 绝望、无助和愤怒的情绪。

That's what is out there, roaming on the streets.

这种情绪就在社区中传播着。

And I don't blame them, and I have the same feelings.

我不怪他们， 我也有同样的感受。

But the point is,

但关键是，

we have to be able to transform that into making the difference.

我们必须要将其化为转变的动力。

And I think this is what this initiative is actually potentially ready to do,

我认为这就是 这个项目准备要推行的，

which is to give every single person who feels helpless --

那就是，给每个感到无助的人

give them a tool to do something.

提供行动的工具。

Some will contribute small efforts,

有些人会做出小一些的贡献，

some will contribute large efforts --

有些人会做出很大的贡献——

depends on what your influence area is.

这取决于你的影响范围。

And to those who feel angry and despairing,

对于那些感到愤怒和绝望的人，

well, give them also an opportunity to channel that energy --

也要给他们机会，将这种能量——

which is very powerful energy --

非常强大的能力——

into solutions.

转化为解决方案。

And finally, what is very exciting about this

最后，非常令人兴奋的一点

is the scale, Chris, right?

就是它的规模，对吧克里斯？

I mean, just look at those partners that are going to be there.

只需要看看那些 将要参与进来的合作伙伴。

We have attempted many, many things to bring to scale.

我们已经做了很多尝试来扩大规模。

But this, I think, is the most promising initiative that I have seen,

但是，我认为这是我所看到的 最有希望的举措，

to be able to bring people to scale,

让更大规模的人群参与，

to bring efforts and solutions to scale.

同时扩大努力和解决方案的规模。

And speed.

还有，速度。

Because if there's one thing that we cannot, cannot fail on,

因为如果有一件事情我们不能失败，

is addressing climate change,

那就是解决气候变化问题，

不仅仅如此，

but not only that,

to do so in a timely way.

还要及时解决。

CA: Thank you, that is eloquent.

CA：谢谢，说得太好了。

And thank you.

谢谢各位。

That's it.

我们要说的就这么多。

(Applause)

（掌声）

OK, we have many members of the world's leading media here.

好，今天现场有许多 世界知名的媒体代表。

We're going to have a Q and A,

下面将开始问答环节，

they should probably have priority on questions.

我们可能优先 选择一些人的问题来回答。

If it all goes deathly silent, someone else can ask a question.

如果暂时没有人提问， 其他人就可以问问题。

If you're a member of the media here,

如果你来自媒体界，

please feel free to put your hand up -- we'll throw a mic to you,

请随时举起手来—— 我们会把麦克风递给你，

and we'll do the best we can.

我们将尽力回答大家的问题。

Rachel Crane: Hi, Rachel Crane from CNN.

RC：嗨，我是 CNN 的 Rachel Crane。

My question for you is about more specific action

我的问题是关于 Countdown 有哪些

that will come out of Countdown.

更具体的操作。

We heard a lot today

今天，我们听到了很多

about how this is mobilizing the globe on this issue,

关于如何在这个问题上动员全球，

breaking people out of their silos, companies out of their silos,

使人们脱离孤岛，使公司脱离孤岛。

but I'm curious to know, paint a picture for us,

但是我很好奇的是，能不能为我们

of what the action that will come out of this initiative

描绘一幅这个项目未来行动的

could potentially look like.

蓝图？

I'm sure it's all in early phases,

我相信这一切都处在早期阶段，

we won't hold you specifically to this.

可以描述得概括一些。

CA: There's an intense process going on between now and October,

CA：从现在到 10 月 都会是一个紧张的筹备过程，

where we're trying to engage

我们正在努力吸引

all of the world's best thinking on climate

全球范围内这五大领域中的

around those five big areas.

出色想法。

What we're hoping to have there is multiple proposals in there

我们希望会有多份提案，

that collectively take a huge bite out of those issues.

整合在一起能够在很大程度上 解决气候问题。

Some of them, there may be one big one that dominates.

其中的一些会占主导地位，

You know, so transport, for example.

比如说交通。

Could we accelerate the end

我们如何以某种方式

of the internal combustion engine, somehow?

加速内燃机的运转？

What would that take?

要如何实现这个目的？

That would be a classic problem made for this approach,

这种方式背后存在一个经典的问题，

because what governments decide right now

因为政府现在的决定

depends on what they see happening elsewhere.

取决于他们当前 在其他地方看到的事情。

Would the decisions of auto executives be shifted

如果汽车业高管在社交媒体上

if they saw millions of people on social media saying,

看到数以百万计的人说， “我永远不会购买内燃机汽车”，

"I will never buy a combustion engine"?

他们的决定是否会改变？

Would they be shifted by the market signal of a few hundred mayors, saying,

当几百名市长发出， “我们正在城市中创建零碳排放区域，

"We are creating a carbon-zero zone in our city,

并且会尽快将其范围扩大。”

and we're going to expand it,

这样的市场信号，

and we're doing that soon"?

汽车业高管会改变想法吗？

Would they be shifted by a visionary auto CEO taking the risk

如果有一个有远见的 汽车业 CEO 愿意主动承担风险，

and coming forward and saying,

站出来说，

“还记得我们曾说过， 我们将维持现状到 2050 年吗？

"You know when we said we were going to continue this till 2050?

不。我们已经可以看到事态的严峻，

No. We can see the writing on the wall,

我们想引导历史朝正确的方向发展，

we want to be on the right side of history,

我们要在 2030 年就采取行动。”

we're doing this in 2030."

We think there might be a pathway to that.

我们认为可能 有一条实现目标的途径。

其中一些问题

So on some of these issues,

it's going to depend on a massive amount of discussion, bringing people together,

要取决于大量的讨论， 将人们聚集在一起，

showing -- this is what you're so masterful at --

展示——这是你的长项——

is showing that other people don't have the attitudes

展示别人并不具备

that you think they have.

你认为他们应该拥有的态度。

They're actually shifting, you better shift.

别人都在转变态度时， 你最好也开始转变。

And so it's mutually raising everyone's ambition level.

所以要互相提高 每个人的标准和期待。

And that is a cycle that happens,

这是一个循环，

and we've already seen it happening.

我们已经看到它正在发生。

所以，在每个问题上， 这就是我们寻找的——

And so, on each of these issues, that's what we're looking for.

The biggest, boldest things.

最庞大、最大胆的事情。

Dream bigger than we normally do,

要敢于梦想，

because there are more people at the table than there normally are,

因为这件事比一般的事件 关系到更多的人，

i.e. millions of citizens engaged in this.

有数百万的公民参与其中。

That's the process, and while that is happening,

那么在这个过程中，

there'll be multiple other engagements in companies and cities around the world.

全世界的公司和城市都会参与其中。

We hope that it all comes together in a thrilling manner in October

我们希望这一切都能在 10 月 以激动人心的方式实现，

and we have something to celebrate.

我们要为此庆祝。

Dominique Drakeford: My name is Dominique Drakeford

DD：我是 Dominique Drakeford，

来自 MelaninASS， 一种媒体形式的社交媒体。

with MelaninASS, or social media as a form of media.

In understanding the inherent correlation

在理解了大气中的碳积累，

between the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere

与累积式的资源开发以及

and the cumulative exploitation

以黑人和土著群体的牺牲为代价的

and extraction, extractivism economy,

开采型经济之间的

which creates sacrifice zones for black and indigenous communities,

内在相关性之后，

how do we plan to,

我们计划如何——

or how do you guys plan to mitigate those systems of oppression

或者说，作为解决 这五大问题的部分策略，

as part of your strategies within those five various components,

你们计划如何减轻 这些压制体系带来的影响，

so that we can really begin to reduce emissions?

以真正开始减少碳排放？

CF: If the transformation in our economy and our society

CF：如果我们的经济和社会转型

does not include inequality closing and social justice issues,

不包括结束不平等 和解决社会正义问题，

then we're doing nothing.

那么我们就等于什么都没做。

Because all of those things will come back to bite us.

因为所有这些问题都会变得更严重。

So we have to put our arms around the entire package.

所以我们要有全局观。

That is not easy, but it is entirely possible.

这并不容易，但是完全可行。

And that's one of the things that I am so excited about climate change,

这是我对气候变化问题 感到激动的一件事，

because it is at the front of this transformation,

因为它处在转变的前期，

but it will bring many of the other issues

但是它会带回许多其他

that have been relegated to nonattention.

已经被社会遗忘的问题。

It will bring those issues to the fore as well.

气候变化会把这些问题 带回人们的视野中。

So the transformation has to be an integrative transformation.

因此，转变必须是全局性的。

Ellen Maloney: Hi, Chris, hi, Christina.

EM：你好，克里斯， 你好，克里斯蒂安娜。

My question is, are individual efforts,

我的问题是，个人的努力——

like ditching plastic straws or going vegan,

像是摒弃塑料吸管或吃素——

making a difference

到底会不会产生影响？

or are they just tokenistic drops in the ocean?

还是说这些行为只是杯水车薪？

CF: Good question.

CF：好问题。

CA: It's a good question.

CA：这是个好问题。

CF: They are totally important.

CF：这些行为完全必要，

Absolutely important.

而且绝对重要。

Because it's not just about the one straw that I use.

因为这并不仅仅是关乎 我使用的一根吸管。

It's about me not using that straw,

关键在于，我不使用吸管——

going to a restaurant and telling the waitress,

我到了餐厅，告诉服务员，

"Excuse me, I don't want a plastic straw, because --"

“抱歉，我不想使用塑料吸管，因为——”

给她上一堂小小的课。

and giving her a little lesson,

then she goes up to the manager, the manager comes to the table and says,

然后她去找餐厅经理， 餐厅经理走到桌前说道，

“抱歉，能给我也解释一下吗？”

"Excuse me, could you explain that to me?"

然后你再重复一遍。

Then you go through the lesson.

于是这种理念就会传到整个餐厅， 以及其他的餐厅，

And sooner than you think,

you have that restaurant, plus the other ones.

甚至比你预想的还要快。

Actually, information is contagious.

实际上，信息是会传染的。

And wanting to do the right thing is also contagious.

要采取正确行动的意愿 也是可以传染的。

So don't look at it as just simply, you know, "What is a straw?

所以不要简单的看成， “一根吸管算什么？

Am I using the straw or am I not using plastic bags,

我要不要用吸管？要不要用塑料袋？

I have my plant-based bags to go shopping," etc., etc.

要不要用环保袋去购物？” 等等。

All of that counts.

事无巨细，都很重要。

It counts for you, first of all,

首先，这对你重要，

because it is a personal reminder of who you are and what you stand for,

因为这是一种对个人的提醒—— 提醒着你是谁，你代表着什么，

but it is also a very important tool

但也是教育你周围的每一个人的

to educate everyone around you.

非常重要的工具。

CA: Right, and I think the core of our initiative is,

CA：非常同意。 我觉得我们项目的核心是，

每件事都很重要——你的食物，

all that stuff matters -- what you eat,

how you transport yourself, etc., it matters a lot.

你的出行等等，都非常重要。

But there is another piece of power that individuals have

但是还有一部分个人力量

that they don't think about as much, perhaps,

也许很多人都没有想到，

and that we think that they should, we invite them to,

而我们觉得他们应该想到， 我们邀请他们去想，

which is what they can do as an employee

那就是他们作为公司雇员可以做什么，

and what they can do as a member of a city.

作为城市居民可以做什么。

There's a coming together here,

这是汇集的力量，

where by getting organized, by connecting with others,

通过有效的管理， 通过与他人建立联系，

we think there is a direct route to changing decisions

我们认为存在一种 更直接的途径可以更改决策，

that will have an even bigger impact on the problem.

从而对解决问题起到更好的效果。

So it's yes, all of that, but more as well.

所以答案是，没错，所有这些 以及其他更多行为都会产生影响。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

CF: There is an online [question], from a classroom of children.

CF：有一个来自线上的问题， 是一个班的孩子提出的。

CA: From a classroom of children?

CA：一个班的孩子？

CF：“学生可以做什么？”

CF: "What can students do?"

Yay, I love that question, totally love that question.

多好的问题， 我非常喜欢！

So first of all,

首先，

Fridays, 11 o'clock, go strike.

星期五，11 点，去罢工。

I mean, honestly, right?

就应该这样，对吧？

(Applause)

（掌声）

Let's go, let's go.

去吧，去吧。

And that pressure has to be maintained.

要保持这种压力。

I'm totally delighted that there's some people here

有人已经坚持 52 周了，

who've been here doing it for 52 weeks.

我感到非常高兴。

The problem with this is, folks,

问题是，各位，

this is not a sprint, it's a marathon.

这不是短跑，而是马拉松。

So you better get ready for many more 52 weeks, right?

所以最好准备很多个 52 周，对吧？

And get more people involved,

让更多的人参与进来，

because this is not easy.

因为这并不容易。

If it were easy, we would have done it.

如果这很容易，我们就已经做到了。

This is going to be a long-term effort.

这将是一场持久战。

But fantastic to be out there in the streets,

但是你们能走上街头真是太棒了，

you are getting so much more attention from the media,

你们受到了媒体和我们这些

from us stupid adults who have not done our job --

愚蠢的、没有做好我们的 工作的成年人很多的关注——

it is fantastic.

这太棒了。

So, you know, get your voices out there.

所以，把你的声音传递出去。

Also, in school,

而且，在学校，

you can definitely go and improve --

你完全可以去改善——

The question that you just asked to TED,

刚才你向 TED 提出的问题，

that's the question every student should be asking their school:

也是每个学生都应该问学校的问题：

"Where's my energy coming from?"

“我用的能量从何而来？”

那就围绕着这个问题开始行动吧。

Let's get with it, right?

Students in colleges --

高校的学生——

how is it possible that we still have colleges and universities

我们怎么能容忍大学还没有使用

that are not 100 percent clean energy

百分之百的清洁能源，

and that haven't shifted their capital and their endowment

还没有将资本和捐赠转移到

over to low carbon?

低碳资产？

I mean, it's just incredible.

我想说，这真是不可思议。

(Applause)

（掌声）

And finally, the most important thing that young people can do

最后，年轻人可以做的最重要的事情

is ask your parents,

是问你的父母：

"What the hell are you doing about my future?"

“你们究竟在对我的未来做什么？”

Because here is an amazing thing.

因为这是一件了不起的事情。

I have spoken in -- I was thinking how many --

我曾经说过好几次——

I've spoken to at least three if not four CEOs from the oil and gas industry.

我至少和三到四个 来自油气行业的 CEO 说过。

I've spoken to three or four major investors,

我和三四个主要的投资人说过，

heads of their investment firms,

他们是投资公司的负责人，

who come up to me, usually in private,

他们常常私下来找我，说，

and say, "Christiana, the reason why I'm changing what I do in my business

“克里斯蒂安娜， 我改变自己业务的原因

is because my daughter, or my son,

是因为我的女儿（儿子）

asks me at night, 'What the hell are you doing about my future?' "

有天晚上问我， ‘你到底在对我的未来做什么？’ ”

That is a very powerful question,

这是一个非常有力的问题，

and only young people can ask that question.

只有年轻人才能提出这个问题。

Use that tool --

使用这个工具——

ask your parents what are they doing about your future.

问问你的父母， 他们在为你的未来做什么。

Sorry about the h-word.

抱歉，我有点激动。

(Applause)

（掌声）

Jo Confino: Hi, I'm Jo Confino, the HuffPost.

JC：大家好，我是来自 赫芬顿邮报的 Jo Confino。

Christiana, a question for you,

克里斯蒂安娜，我想问你一个问题，

which is one of the things that didn't come out so much

这个问题没有怎么被提及，

and this is about the spiritual traditions

是有关精神传统

and the role they play,

以及它们扮演的角色。

because what we're seeing

因为我们发现，

is that, actually, old wisdom is coming out

强调相互依存的

in terms of interdependence

古老智慧正在重现，

and nothing is separate from anything else.

没有任何事物可以独立存在。

What is the spiritual tradition we can bring to this

我们带来的精神传统

that will make, also, a difference?

可以发挥什么样的作用呢？

CF: What I think is very powerful about understanding,

CF：我认为人的理解力之所以强大——

whether you happen to be a spiritual person

无论你恰巧是

that pursues meditation and mindfulness

冥思和正念的精神追求者，

or whether you're a religious person or not,

无论你是否信仰宗教——

what I think is very powerful

我认为对于

about the spiritual understanding of the human presence on this earth,

人类存在于地球上这一概念的 精神理解的强大之处在于，

is to understand that we are not separate.

能够理解我们不是彼此孤立的个体。

It's not like, "Over there is planet Earth,

并不是说，“那有一个地球，

and then humans are over here."

而人类在这里。”

And we are totally interconnected with all other species

我们和其他物种紧密相连，

and with all other living beings,

和其他生命体紧密相连，

and doing the responsible thing by them,

它们和我们

does the responsible thing by us.

各司其职。

And vice versa.

反之亦然。

And so that interconnectedness

所以那种联系

is one that comes from the spiritual traditions,

就来自精神传统，

but you don't have to be religious or spiritual to understand that.

但是你并不一定 要信仰宗教去理解这一点。

You know, the fact is,

事实上，

every single drop of water that we drink comes from nature.

我们喝的每一滴水都来自大自然。

Every single morsel of food that we eat

我们吃的每一口食物

comes from nature.

都来自大自然。

And we've got to heal that connection.

我们需要修复这种联系。

CA: We would welcome engagement.

CA：我们欢迎各位的参与。

(Applause)

（掌声）

Kaley Roshitsh: Hi, Kaley Roshitsh from Women's Wear Daily.

KR：大家好，我是来自 Women's Wear Daily 的 Kaley Roshitsh。

Obviously, the fashion industry is responsible for a lot

很显然，时尚产业是碳排放的

of the carbon output,

主要来源，

so I wondered what is your perspective on conscious consumption?

所以我想知道你们对 良知消费有什么看法？

CA: The key goal here is to align, at the same time,

CA：关键是要统一战线，

to change opinion on what companies do,

同时改变对公司能干什么，

what employees do, what consumers do.

雇员能干什么 以及消费者能干什么的观点。

It's the shifts all happening at the same time that can make change.

同时发生的转变才能产生影响。

Right now, someone else is always the problem.

现在，人们常常觉得 问题总在别人身上。

"Our investors wouldn't allow us to do that."

“我们的投资人不允许我们这么做。”

“更加可持续的产品没有市场。”

"There is no market for this better, more sustainable product."

And so, all the pieces need to happen at the same time.

所以，所有这些环节需要同时发生。

That's our hope.

这是我们的希望。

And so the lead on this is not us,

所以领导这个议题的不是我们，

it's employees and CEOs and leadership teams

是雇员，是 CEO，是工作在时尚产业的

working in that industry.

领导团队。

Get together, make something happen.

聚在一起，推动转变。

And ride the tide of the zeitgeist shift that is happening --

顺应当下时代精神转变的潮流——

it's going to work out from the business point of view as well.

从商业角度来看也是可行的。

CF：我能补充一句吗？

CF: Can I jump on that as well?

Because for years, for centuries,

因为几个世纪以来，

we have been on a consumer extract-and-consume mentality.

我们一直有着资源开采和消费的 消费者心态。

They way we go about our life

我们的生活方式

and the way that businesses are created

以及商业被创造的方式

is extract, use, discard, extract, use, discard.

就是开采、使用、丢弃， 开采、使用、丢弃。

That's a simplification, but honestly, it's about as simple as that.

这虽是一种简化，但是老实说， 就是这么简单。

And to understand that that linear extraction to discard

要认识到这种 从开采到丢弃的线性过程

can no longer be the case, that it needs to be circular now,

不再可行，必须要变成周期性的循环，

we have to go into a circular economy

我们必须转型成循环经济，

that uses every single resource that we extract --

利用每一种我们开采的资源——

because we will continue to extract --

因为我们会继续开采——

that uses it not once but two, three, four, five, 10 times,

不是用一次，而是 两次、三次、四次、五次、十次。

around and around in circles.

不断的循环。

That's a circular economy.

这就是一种循环经济。

And we have to get to that point,

我们必须做到这一点，

because frankly, we're running out of resources to continue to extract.

因为说实话，我们的资源正在耗尽， 无法继续开采。

Jodi Xu Klein: Hi, my name is Jodi Xu Klein.

JXK：大家好，我是 Jodi Xu Klein。

I'm with the South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong publication here in the US.

我来自香港《南华早报》的美国分社。

So, we've been reporting on trade war for more than a year,

我们报导贸易战已有一年多，

and we're actually living in a world

而我们正生活在

where countries are decoupling from each other.

一个国家之间逐渐脱钩的世界。

How do you overcome that trend and bring everyone together?

你们计划如何克服这种趋势， 让大家一同合作？

CA: We don't know,

CA：我们不知道，

these are really challenging issues.

这些确实是很有挑战性的问题。

What we do know is that we have to bring everyone to the table

我们知道的是，我们必须召集所有人

and have the discussion.

一同进行讨论。

中国有很多人，

There are so many people in China,

including, on many occasions,

包括中国政府，

在许多场合采取了大胆的方式

the Chinese government has made bold steps

to tackle this issue.

来解决这个问题。

There's a lot that the West can learn from what's happening in China.

西方可以从在中国发生的事情中 学到很多东西。

CF: I would say,

CF：我想说的是，

在一个民族主义 和民粹主义盛行的世界中，

in a world in which we're seeing a wave of nationalism and populism,

the way we go at this is actually to expand

我们解决这个问题的方式

the breadth of engagement,

实际上是扩大参与度，

so not to let the responsibility of engaging on climate

所以不要让解决气候问题的责任

be in national government hands only.

仅仅成为国家政府的责任。

Yes, they have an important role,

是的，政府扮演着重要的角色，

but we can bring it down as well

但是我们也可以把气候问题

to a different level of engagement which is every single human being.

下放到不同的参与层级， 也就是每个个体。

And once we understand that we're all human beings

一旦我们理解了我们都是人类，

and that we all have a common future,

我们都有一个共同的未来，

就不会出现 虽然我们同处于危机之中，

there's no such thing as all of us being in a boat

and only the one closest to the hole in the boat are going to sink.

但只有离危机最近的那个 才会出问题的情况。

No.

不会的。

我们要么一起出问题， 要么一起转危为安。

Either we all sink or we all float together.

Justine Calma: My name is Justine Calma, I'm with The Verge,

JC：我叫 Justine Calma， 来自 The Verge，

thanks so much for this.

非常感谢各位的努力。

My question is about TED and YouTube's own carbon footprint.

我的问题是关于 TED 和 YouTube 自身的碳足迹。

Streaming video eats up a huge amount of energy,

流媒体会消耗大量的能量，

and I'm curious what TED and YouTube

我很好奇 TED 和 YouTube

might be doing to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions

在减少自身温室气体排放方面

connected to that.

会做什么。

CA: I can't speak for YouTube, obviously.

CA：显然，我不能代表 YouTube 回答。

I will say that, to quote a line from George Monbiot,

我想说的是，引用乔治 · 蒙比奥特 （George Monbiot）的话说，

all of us are hypocrites in this movement.

我们所有人都是 这个运动中的伪君子。

If you've ever bought something

如果你曾经买过东西，

or you're wearing clothes, or you're eating food,

或者存在任何的吃穿用度，

you're a hypocrite, you're creating emissions.

那么你就是伪君子， 这些行为都是在制造排放物。

It's part of life.

这是生活的一部分。

And I think perfection is --

我认为——

There's a risk that perfection,

存在这样的风险：完美，

that an overpursuit and focus on that

过度追求和专注于完美，

and the judging that comes with it can slow everyone down.

以及随之而来的评判 可能会使所有人放慢脚步。

We want this to be a coalition of the willing who accept

我们希望这个联盟

由接受他们是不完美的， 但愿意行动的人组成。

that they're not perfect but are willing to act.

Now, this whole process has sparked a huge conversation in TED

这整个过程在 TED 内部 引发了大范围的讨论，

about how we act more responsibly,

关于我们如何 更加负责任的采取行动，

and that will continue.

而且这个讨论会继续下去。

We're certainly not going to stop streaming videos.

可以肯定的是， 我们不会停止视频服务。

有时你要做一下平衡，也就是——

At some point you have to do math,

it's like that -- give to the planet more than you take from it,

奉献给地球的要比索取的多，

I think is the golden rule that I personally really believe in.

这是我个人比较相信的 一条黄金法则。

And so if an idea, powered by a little bit of electricity,

所以，用一点点的电力 就可以让一个想法

can ignite in someone's brain,

激发人们的大脑，

I would bet on the idea over saving the electricity.

我会把这个想法的优先级 置于省电之上。

But there's no perfection in this.

但是，这也不是完美的。

And we definitely have a lot that we need to improve on.

我们当然有许多需要改进的地方。

Let's go here and then back.

先解决这个问题，再看下一个。

Lane Florsheim: Hi, I'm Lane Florsheim from the Wall Street Journal Magazine

LF：大家好，我是来自 《华尔街日报》的 Lane Florsheim。

and Chris, I really liked what you were saying

克里斯，我很喜欢你刚才说的

about the fashion industry and what they can do to change

关于时尚产业的看法， 以及他们能做出什么样的改变，

这要求员工和 CEO 们一起努力，

and how it requires employees and CEOs to meet together

因为只有时尚产业内的人

because who understands an industry better than the people in it

最了解这个行业的流程和体系结构。

and their processes and infrastructure,

but I'm wondering, what about companies with huge footprints,

但我想问的是，那些 有着巨大碳足迹的公司，

and two that come to mind first are Amazon and Zara,

比如亚马逊和 Zara，

where, by all accounts,

很多信息都表明

the workers, the employees there don't have very much power

这些公司的员工手中的权力有限，

and the CEOs don't have very much incentive to change right now.

而且目前他们的 CEO 也没有什么动力去改变。

What would you say about those kinds of companies?

你会如何评价这样的公司？

CA: So this is going to be such an important conversation going forward,

CA：这将是一个非常重要的议题，

because we're in the ironic position

因为我们眼下的形势多少有些讽刺：

where the people who can do the most to solve this problem

最有能力解决这个问题的人

are the people who are currently the worst offenders.

恰恰是现在犯着最严重过错的人。

So what do we do?

那么我们要怎么做？

Do we make them part of the conversation or not?

我们要接纳他们加入对话吗？

I say we make them part of the conversation,

我想说，只要我们看到了参与的诚意，

so long as we see serious engagement.

就会让他们成为对话的一部分。

So take Amazon.

以亚马逊为例。

Jeff Bezos has actually listened to what many of his employees have said --

杰夫 · 贝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）实际上 已经听取了许多员工的观点——

they've been very vigorous, the employee base there,

他们的员工对于碳足迹的问题

非常有热情——

about carbon footprint --

has listened, has engaged with you and with others.

他们与你和其他人一样都在参与。

And they have announced, I think it's correct to say announced --

我认为现在可以说， 他们已经宣布——

CF: Yes, they have.

CF：是的，已经宣布。

CA：……加速实现承诺，

CA: ... an acceleration of their own commitment

to go to, basically, a net zero track by 2040, if I have it right.

即到 2040 年，基本实现净零排放， 如果我没理解错的话。

It's the companies with the thousands, the tens of thousands of trucks

这是个有着数万辆货车，

and the packaging and all the rest of it.

以及不计其数的包裹的企业。

That is how this problem will get solved.

这就是问题将如何被解决。

So I say we invite these CEOs to be part of this,

所以我想说的是，让 CEO 加入，

and urge them to take it seriously

并敦促他们严肃对待这个问题，

and to go fast and maybe even faster than they're completely comfortable doing.

快速采取行动，甚至比他们 能够适应的速度还要更快。

But that's, I think, what we have to do.

但是我认为这是我们需要做的。

Not to defame, denounce,

在我们没有开启严肃的对话之前，

before we've at least had a serious conversation about,

不去随意诽谤和谴责，

"It's time,

“是时候了，

your employees want to do this,

你的员工想要这么做，

your customers want to do this,

你的顾客想要这么做，

your investors increasingly want to do this, let's do this."

你的投资人也越来越想 这么做，那就行动起来吧。”

That's our hope.

这是我们的希望。

CF: And the wonderful thing about companies the size of Amazon,

CF：像亚马逊或沃尔玛 这样规模的公司

or Walmart when they did it,

开始采取行动的好处就是，

is that they have a huge trickle-up effect.

会产生巨大的涓流效应。

Because when Jeff Bezos came out and said,

因为当杰夫 · 贝佐斯出来宣布，

"I'm going to make Amazon climate-neutral by 2040 -- "

“我会在 2040 年 让亚马逊实现净零排放——”

Paris Agreement says 2050,

《巴黎协定》说是 2050年，

of course he wants to do everything better than that,

当然他想要比这做得更好，

so 2040 is for Amazon.

所以对亚马逊是 2040 年。

Well good, we're going to keep him to it.

好的，我们要让他遵守诺言。

Now, the amazing thing about that

这样带来的惊喜就是，

is that in order for Amazon to be climate-neutral by 2040,

为了让亚马逊在 2040 年 实现净零排放，

they have to work with all their supply chain going up.

他们需要和所有上游的供应链合作。

They have to work with all of those companies

他们必须与所有那些

that deliver services and goods to them

向亚马逊提供服务 和商品的公司合作，

for them to also be climate neutral ASAP.

让他们也尽快实现净零排放，

Because otherwise, they can't meet their own commitment.

否则亚马逊不能实现自己的承诺。

所以大型企业实际上非常非常重要，

So large companies are actually very, very key and instrumental to this,

because it's not just about their footprint,

因为这不仅仅关乎它们的碳足迹，

it's about the embedded footprint that they inherit in their supply chain.

也事关他们供应链中包含的碳足迹。

And the transformation of that is really huge.

由此带来的转变将是难以估量的。

CA: Last question.

CA：最后一个问题。

Jackie Padilla: My name is Jackie with NowThis News,

Jackie Padilla：我是来自 NowThis News 的 Jackie，

and every day, I work with young climate activists

每天，我都与年轻的气候活动家共事，

like the ones we've heard today,

就像我们今天见到的那些人。

but when we do stories on them,

但是当我们报道他们的故事时，

you know, including Greta Thunberg,

比如，包括格蕾塔 · 通贝里，

I see fierce criticism that they face

我发现他们面临着激烈的批评，

and largely, it's because of a generational gap.

很大程度上是因为代沟。

I don't know if you're familiar with the phrase "OK Boomer,"

我不知道大家是否熟悉 “老人家（OK Boomer）”这种说法，

但是看上去有些人只是在寻找

but it seems like there's a lot of guilt or accountability

that some are looking for,

类似的归罪和责任追究。

and on the other end, we're looking at a lack of education

另一方面，我们也看到了教育的缺失，

or just ignorance on the issue.

或只是对这个问题的无知。

So what is your advice to young people to respond to that criticism

那么你认为年轻人应该如何 应对这样的批评，

to foster constructive conversations?

以促进建设性的对话？

CF: We should probably ask them.

CF：我们也许应该问问她们。

XB: Hi, thank you for your question.

XB：你好，感谢你的问题。

CA: Come here.

CA：请到台上来。

(Applause)

（掌声）

XB: It is true that we increasingly face criticism,

XB：的确，我们面临着 越来越多的批评，

and it's not only when we speak to people, with climate deniers

这不仅发生在我们 与气候变化否认者交谈时，

or things like that,

或者诸如此类的时候，

but also on social media.

还发生在社交媒体上。

It is as much a tool to spread information

社交媒体是传播信息、

and organize our strikes

组织我们的罢工运动，

and get the information out there,

并将信息传播开来的工具，

but it's also a tool for people who want to undermine us,

但它同时也是那些想要贬低我们、

to personally attack us.

对我们进行人身攻击的群体的工具。

And the way in which we stay resilient

一直以来，我们反抗的方式是，

is when we build community with each other,

当我们一同构建起一个团体，

when we organize,

当我们组织起来时，

we mimic the world we want to see.

就能描绘出我们想要看到的世界。

There is no hierarchy in our organizing,

我们的组织中没有层级，

we are all working towards the same goal constructively,

我们都在朝着同一个目标 付出建设性的努力，

choosing our passions towards making the strike the best it can be.

让我们的热情成就最有成效的罢工。

We got 300,000 people striking in New York,

我们在纽约组织了三十万人的罢工，

we put together a whole concert,

我们举办了一整场演唱会，

people called it "Climchella," it was great.

人们称之为“ Climchella”，这很棒。

(Laughter)

（笑声）

But the point is that it's not going to stop us.

但关键在于，反对的声音 并不会阻止我们。

The criticism is not going to stop us.

那些批评不会阻止我们。

And even though we know that we are kids,

尽管我们知道我们还是孩子，

and we are not here to tell you all the solutions

我们也不是来告诉大家，

that already are out there.

有现成的解决方案。

We are going to do it,

相反，我们真的会去做，

because every kid who cares about the climate crisis

因为每个关心气候危机的孩子

is going to grow up to study through an environmental lens

会通过环保的视角成长和学习，

and to change the world through that.

去改变世界。

So we are here to tell you,

所以我们想告诉你们，

personally, climate activists that I know don't use "OK Boomer,"

就我个人而言，我认识的气候活动家 不会使用“老人家”这样的字眼，

because we strive for intergenerational cooperation.

因为我们争取的是代际之间的合作。

And I think that blaming and dividing each other

我认为责备和分裂彼此

is not going to get us anywhere,

并不会让我们达成任何目标，

which is why we don't use it,

这就是我们不用这个词的原因，

and I don't think it should be used,

而且我认为这个词不应该被使用，

and I actually want to thank everybody who is doing something,

我还想感谢正在行动的每个人，

because action inspires action.

因为行动会带来行动。

And you inspire us,

你们激励了我们，

and we're glad that we inspire you as well.

而我们也很高兴能激励你们。

(Cheers and applause)

（欢呼和掌声）

(Applause)

（掌声）

CA: Wow.

CA：哇。

(Applause)

（掌声）

CF: There you have it.

CF：说得太好了！

(Applause and cheers)

（掌声和欢呼）

(Applause)

（掌声）

CA: There is no better note on which to end this.

CA：没有比这更适合作为结束语的了。

Thank you.

谢谢。

(Applause)

（掌声）
