各位好！

[His Holiness Pope Francis Filmed in Vatican City

我哋宜家活喺歷史性嘅時刻，

First shown at TED Countdown Global Launch, October 2020]

Hello!

充滿挑戰，眾所周知。

We are living during a historic moment,

世界因全球大流行嘅

marked by difficult challenges, as we all know.

新冠肺炎而動搖，

The world is shaken by the crisis

呢個突顯出左另一項全球性嘅挑戰：

caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,

社會環境危機。

which highlights

another global challenge:

呢個令我哋全體面對一項抉擇。

the socio-environmental crisis.

抉擇乜嘢係重要，

And this requires us, all of us, to face a choice.

乜嘢係唔重要。

抉擇要繼續忽視

The choice between what matters,

貧窮人嘅苦難，

and what doesn’t.

繼續傷害我哋共同嘅家園，

The choice between continuing to ignore

我哋嘅地球，或者係各個層面

the suffering of the poorest

轉變我哋嘅行為。

and to abuse our common home,

our planet,

or engaging at every level

與日精確嘅科學話比我哋知，

to transform the way we act.

採取行動迫在眉睫。

Science tells us, every day, with more precision,

我無誇大其詞，呢個係科學講嘅。

採取行動先有希望去避免

that urgent action is needed --

and I am not dramatizing, this is what science says --

劇烈及災難性嘅氣候變遷。

為此我哋宜家就必須行動。

if we are to keep the hope of avoiding

呢個係科學事實。

radical and catastrophic climate change.

我哋嘅良知話比我哋知

And for this we must act now.

This is a scientific fact.

唔可以再對貧乏人嘅苦難置之不理，

Our conscience tells us that we cannot remain indifferent

唔可以再對增長嘅經濟不平等

to the suffering of those in need,

及社會不公義保持冷漠。

to the growing economic inequalities

經濟本身亦都唔可以只限於生產及分配。

and social injustices.

佢亦都必須考慮

And that the economy itself cannot be limited to production and distribution.

對環境同埋人類尊嚴嘅衝擊。

It must also consider

its impacts on both the environment and on the dignity of people.

我哋可以話經濟

應該具有創造力，

We could say that the economy

對經濟本身同埋經濟嘅方法，

以及經濟活動嘅方式，

should be creative

都應具創造力。

in itself and in its methods,

我想邀請大家一齊踏上一段旅程。

in the way it acts.

一段轉化同埋行動嘅旅程。

Creativity.

I would like to invite you to go on a journey together.

毋需多講，

只需要具體同埋緊迫嘅行動。

A journey of transformation and of action.

Made not so much of words,

我叫佢做旅程，因為佢需要轉移、改變。

but rather of concrete and pressing actions.

我哋走出呢場危機之後，

I am calling it a journey because it requires a shift, a change.

我哋唔可以依然照舊：

From this crisis none of us must come out the same --

我哋走出危機之後，

要花時間同努力先可以克服。

we cannot come out the same:

from a crisis, we never come out the same --

我哋必須一步一步嚟；

and it will take time, and hard work, to overcome it.

幫助軟弱嘅人；說服存疑嘅人；

想像新嘅解決方案；

We will have to take it one step at a time;

仲要承諾一定會將佢地訴諸實行。

help the weak; persuade those in doubt;

我哋嘅目標非常明確：

imagine new solutions;

喺未來十年內，建立一個世界，

and commit to carry them out.

既能夠滿足

Our goal is clear:

to build, within the next decade,

現今世代嘅需求，

a world where we can meet the needs

包括每一個人嘅需求，

又唔會危害未來世代嘅前途發展。

of the present generations,

including everyone,

我要邀請所有宗教界人士，

without compromising the possibilities of future generations.

無論係唔係基督徒，

所有良善嘅人，

I would like to invite all people of faith,

一齊踏上呢段旅程。

Christian or not,

and all people of good will,

從你嘅信仰開始，

如果你無信仰，

to embark on this journey,

就從你自己嘅意向開始，

從你自己嘅良善意圖開始。

starting from your own faith,

or if you do not have a faith, from your own intention,

我哋每一個人，身為個人 或者係某團體嘅一員

from your own goodwill.

Each one of us, as individuals, or members of a group --

都可以做出重大貢獻。

families, communities of faith, businesses, associations, institutions --

五年前我寫左《願禰受讚頌》通諭，

can make a substantial contribution.

致力於照顧我哋共同嘅家園。

Five years ago I wrote the encyclical letter "Laudato Si’,"

文中提出整體生態概念，

dedicated to the care of our common home.

齊心回應地球嘅呼喊，

以及窮人嘅哭泣。

It proposes the concept of "integral ecology,"

整體生態係對

to respond together to the cry of the Earth,

整體生命願景嘅邀請，

as well as to the cry of the poor.

從萬物息息相關呢個信念開始，

Integral ecology is an invitation

to an integral vision on life,

而佢，就好似呢次大流行咁，

starting from the conviction that everything in the world is connected

確切提醒著我哋：

and that, as the pandemic made sure to remind us,

我哋彼此依存，亦依存著大地母親。

we are interdependent on each other,

從甘樣嘅願景嚟

搵出新方法

as well as on our Mother Earth.

定義及衡量進步係必要嘅，

From such a vision stems the need

唔比我哋侷限於經濟、

to find new ways

科技、財務及總產值嘅觀點，

of defining progress and measuring it,

without limiting ourselves to the economic,

而係攸關道德、

technological, financial and gross-product aspects,

社會

同埋教育層面。

but rather, giving central relevance

今日我要提出三個行動方針。

to its ethical, social

and educational dimensions.

就好似我喺《願禰受讚頌》入面咁寫，

I would like to propose today three courses of action.

我哋為整體生態旅程所作嘅改變

As I wrote in "Laudato Si’,"

同埋佢嘅正確方向，

the change and the right orientation for our journey of integral ecology

需要我哋首先踏出教育呢一步。

因此，我嘅第一項建議

require first that we all take an educational step.

係喺各個層面推動

照顧我哋共同家園嘅教育方針，

So, my first suggestion

逐漸形成

is to promote, at every level,

對環境問題與人類需求

an education geared towards the care of our common home,

息息相關嘅了解。

developing the understanding

我哋必須從一開始就知道：

that environmental problems are linked to human needs.

環境問題與人類需求緊密相連。

We must understand this from the beginning:

基於科學數據嘅教育

environmental problems are tied to human needs.

並且採取道德方針。

呢個好重要，兩者皆係。

An education based on scientific data

我受到好多年輕人鼓舞，

and on an ethical approach.

佢哋展現出新嘅生態及社會意識，

This is important: both of them.

I am encouraged by the fact that many young people

當中仲有好多人不吝奮戰，

already show a new ecological and social awareness,

捍衛環境 及正義。

and many of them fight generously

第二個提案

for the defense of the environment

係我哋必須聚焦於水同埋營養。

and for justice.

As a second proposal, we must focus

可以取得乾淨、可飲用嘅水

on water and nutrition.

係放諸四海皆準嘅基本人權。

Access to safe and drinkable water

呢個係基本嘅，

因為佢決定人嘅生存，

is an essential and universal human right.

因此佢係

可以行使其他人權及責任嘅先決條件。

It is essential

because it determines the survival of people

透過非破壞性耕作法，

and therefore is a condition

for the exercise of all other rights and responsibilities.

為全人類提供足夠嘅營養，

Providing adequate nutrition for all,

應該變成

through non-destructive farming methods,

整個糧食生產及分配循環嘅主要目的。

should become the main purpose

第三項建議係能源轉變：

of the entire cycle of food production and distribution.

逐步，而唔延宕，

The third suggestion is about energy transition:

將化石燃料汰換成乾淨能源。

a gradual replacement, but without delay,

我哋只有幾年。

of fossil fuels with clean energy sources.

科學家預估

只係剩返唔到三十年。

We only have a few years.

我哋只有幾年嘅時間， 唔到三十年，

Scientists estimate approximately

可以降低

less than 30 --

溫室效應氣體排放進入大氣層。

we have a few years, less than 30 --

這項轉變唔單止要快，

to drastically reduce

greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

要滿足當前及未來嘅能源需求，

Not only must this transition be quick

仲必須要注意到

and capable of meeting present and future energy needs,

對窮人，對當地居民，

it also must be attentive

以及喺能源生產領域工作者嘅影響。

to the impact on the poor,

鼓勵呢項改變嘅方法之一，

on local populations,

就係讓企業轉向致力於整體照顧

as well as on those who work in the energy production sectors.

我哋共同嘅家園嘅急迫需求，

One way to encourage this change

is to lead businesses towards the urgent need

排除投資

to commit themselves to the integral care of our common home,

無辦法滿足整體生態參數嘅公司，

excluding from investments

同時獎勵有具體行為嘅公司，

those companies that do not meet the parameters of integral ecology,

喺呢段過渡期，

佢哋活動嘅中心，

while rewarding those that work concretely,

必須係永續、

during this transitional phase,

社會正義同埋促進共同利益。

to put, at the center of their activities,

sustainability,

好多組織，包括天主教及其他宗教，

social justice

已經扛下責任，

and the promotion of the common good.

要往呢個方向行動。

Many organizations, Catholic and of other faiths,

事實上，地球一定要受到良好嘅

have already taken on the responsibility

管理及養育、栽培及保護。

to act in this direction.

我哋唔可以繼續好似榨橙汁咁榨乾佢。

In fact, the Earth must be worked and nursed,

cultivated and protected.

我哋可以咁講，

We cannot continue to squeeze it like an orange.

照顧地球係一種人權。

And we can say that this -- taking care of the Earth --

呢三項提案一定要被視為

更大嘅群體行動嘅部分，

is a human right.

我哋必須實行一套全方位計畫，

These three proposals must be considered

用嚟搵出呢啲問題嘅持久解決方案。

as part of a larger group of actions

that we must carry out in an integrated way

目前嘅經濟體系無法永續。

in order to find a lasting solution to these problems.

我哋面對道德上嘅當務之急

The current economic system is unsustainable.

以及實際嘅緊迫性，要重新思考好多事：

We are faced with the moral imperative, and the practical urgency,

我哋生產嘅方法；我哋消費嘅方法；

我哋浪費嘅文化；

to rethink many things:

我哋嘅短視；

the way we produce; the way we consume;

剝削窮人，

our culture of waste;

對佢哋漠不關心；

our short-term vision;

不斷增長嘅不平等

the exploitation of the poor

同埋我哋對有害能源嘅依賴。

and our indifference towards them;

我哋有必要

the growing inequalities

去思索呢啲挑戰。

and our dependence on harmful energy sources.

整體生態提出一種全新嘅觀念，

We need to think about all these challenges.

看待人類與大自然之間嘅關係。

Integral ecology suggests a new conception

呢個領導我哋走向一種新嘅經濟，

佢嘅財富產生

of the relationship between us humans and Nature.

應該直接考慮到整體嘅人類福祉

This leads to a new economy,

同埋改善，

where the production of wealth

而唔係破壞，

is directed to the integral well-being of the human being

我哋共同嘅家園。

呢樣亦都意味著更新嘅政治

and to the improvement --

not the destruction --

應該被視為最高形式嘅慈善。

of our common home.

It also implies a renewed politics,

無錯，愛存在於人與人之間，

conceived as one of the highest forms of charity.

但係愛亦都可以存在喺政治入面。

Yes,

呢個包含所有嘅人，呢個亦都包含大自然。

love is interpersonal,

but love is also political.

因此我邀請大家

It involves all peoples and it involves Nature.

一齊踏上呢段旅程，

我喺《願禰受讚頌》通諭中提過，

I invite therefore all of you

亦都喺新嘅通諭《眾弟兄》入面提到。

to embark on this journey,

就好似《倒數》呢個大會主題咁講，

that I proposed in "Laudato Si’"

and also in my new encyclical "Fratelli Tutti."

我哋必須採取緊急行動。

我哋每一個人都可以扮演 一個重要嘅角色，

As the term Countdown suggests,

只要我哋都從今日啟程，

we must act with urgency.

Each one of us can play a valuable role,

唔係聽日，係今日。

因為未來建造喺今日之上，

if we all begin our journey today --

未來亦唔可以建立係孤離之上，

not tomorrow -- today.

Because the future is built today,

而應該建立喺社群同埋和諧之上。

and it is not built in isolation,

謝謝！

but rather in community and in harmony.

Thank you.
