如果讓你拯救這個星球，你會做些什麽？當克莉絲緹娜．菲格雷斯（Christiana Figueres）奉聯合國之命，來主導2015年12月舉行的巴黎氣候會議（COP21）時，她的反應是很多人都會做出的反應：她認為要使來自195個國家的領導人在如何放緩氣候變化問題上達成共識是不可能的。讓我們來看看她是如何從懷疑到樂觀，並且幫助整個世界來達成歷史上最重要的氣候協議。

I have one more reason for optimism:

我樂觀的原因還有這個：

climate change.

那便是氣候變化。
00:16
Maybe you don't believe it,
but here is the fact.

也許你們還不太相信，
然而這就是事實。

On December 12, 2015,

2015年的12月12日
00:24
in Paris, under the United Nations,
4
12600
2616
在法國巴黎的聯合國大會上，
00:27
195 governments got together
5
15240
4456
195 個國家齊聚一堂，
00:31
and unanimously --
6
19720
2160
達成了一致的共識 ——
00:34
if you've worked with governments,
you know how difficult that is --
you know how difficult that is --
7
22600
3216
如果各位和政府打過交道，
各位應該知道這非常困難，
各位應該知道這非常困難，
00:37
unanimously decided
8
25840
2216
全體達成一致的共識，
00:40
to intentionally change the course
of the global economy
of the global economy
9
28080
4816
傾全心改變全球經濟的發展，
00:44
in order to protect the most vulnerable
10
32920
2816
來保障最弱勢的族群，
00:47
and improve the life of all of us.
11
35760
2656
並提升我們所有人的生活。
00:50
Now, that is a remarkable achievement.
12
38440
2416
這真的是一項了不起的成就。
00:52
(Applause)
13
40880
2216
（掌聲）
00:55
But it is even more remarkable
14
43120
2136
然而，更不得了的地方是，
00:57
if you consider where we had been
just a few years ago.
just a few years ago.
15
45280
3976
如果各位回想一下，就在幾年前，
01:01
2009, Copenhagen.
16
49280
2656
2009年，在哥本哈根的會議。
01:03
Who remembers Copenhagen?
17
51960
1640
誰還記得哥本哈根會議？
01:06
Well, after years of working
toward a climate agreement,
toward a climate agreement,
18
54160
5576
經過了長年累月
有關氣候協議的努力，
有關氣候協議的努力，
01:11
the same governments
convened in Copenhagen

19
59760

同樣的與會國家
被召集到哥本哈根，
被召集到哥本哈根，
01:16
and failed miserably.
20
64080
1960
結局卻是慘不忍睹。
01:18
Why did it fail miserably?
21
66640
2376
為什麽會這樣呢？
01:21
For many different reasons,
22
69040
1576
理由有很多，
01:22
but primarily because
of the deeply entrenched divide
of the deeply entrenched divide
23
70640
3536
但最主要是因為
存在於南北半球國家之間，
存在於南北半球國家之間，
01:26
between the global
North and the global South.
North and the global South.
24
74200
2720
那根深蒂固的分歧。
01:30
So now, six months after this failure,
25
78720
3896
然而如今，在失敗過後的六個月，
01:34
I was called in
to assume the responsibility
to assume the responsibility
26
82640
3336
我被委任接受這項
全球氣候變化談判的職責。
01:38
of the global climate change negotiations.
27
86000
2056
01:40
You can imagine, the perfect moment
to start this new job.
to start this new job.
28
88080
4376
你可以想像，現在開始進行
這項新工作真的是最佳時刻啊！
這項新工作真的是最佳時刻啊！
01:44
The global mood on climate change
was in the trash can.
was in the trash can.
29
92480
3696
全球對氣候變化的關懷
簡直是被丟到垃圾桶了。
簡直是被丟到垃圾桶了。
01:48
No one believed
30
96200
2456
根本沒有人會相信
01:50
that a global agreement
could ever be possible.
could ever be possible.
31
98680
2960
全球能在此問題上達成共識。
01:54
In fact, neither did I.
32
102160
2040
實際上，我也是這麽想的。
01:57
If you promise not to tell anyone
outside of this wonderful TED audience,
outside of this wonderful TED audience,
33
105160
4816
如果在座優秀的 TED 觀眾，
大家保證能守口如瓶的話，
大家保證能守口如瓶的話，
02:02
I'm going to divulge a secret
34
110000
2096
我準備告訴各位一個秘密，
02:04
that has been gratefully
buried by history.
buried by history.
35
112120
4360
這個秘密一直被
歷史完好封存著。
歷史完好封存著。
02:09
On my first press conference,
36
117600
2696
在我首次的新聞發布會上，
02:12
a journalist asked, "Um, Ms. Figueres,
37
120320
3376
有名記者提問到：
“ 嗯，菲格雷斯女士，
“ 嗯，菲格雷斯女士，
02:15
do you think that a global agreement
is ever going to be possible?"
is ever going to be possible?"
38
123720
4376
妳認為全球共識有可能實現嗎？”
02:20
And without engaging brain,
I heard me utter,
I heard me utter,
39
128120
4336
我大腦還沒反應過來時，
卻聽見自己竟脫口說出，
卻聽見自己竟脫口說出，
02:24
"Not in my lifetime."
40
132480
1600
“我這輩子都不可能...”
02:27
Well, you can imagine
the faces of my press team
the faces of my press team
41
135240
3536
各位可以想象我的
新聞團隊他們臉上的表情，
新聞團隊他們臉上的表情，
02:30
who were horrified
at this crazy Costa Rican woman
at this crazy Costa Rican woman
42
138800
3696
大家都被這個來自
哥斯達黎加的瘋女人嚇到，
哥斯達黎加的瘋女人嚇到，
02:34
who was their new boss.
43
142520
1400
而且這個女人
還是他們的新上司。
還是他們的新上司。
02:36
And I was horrified, too.
44
144720
2616
其實，我當時也被自己嚇到了。
02:39
Now, I wasn't horrified at me,
because I'm kind of used to myself.
because I'm kind of used to myself.
45
147360
3256
我並非被那個自己
早已習慣的風格所嚇到，
早已習慣的風格所嚇到，
02:42
I was actually horrified
46
150640
2176
我真正害怕的是，
02:44
at the consequences
of what I had just said,
of what I had just said,
47
152840
3696
我說出去的話所帶來的後果，
02:48
at the consequences for the world
48
156560
2176
及這個我們子子孫孫
都還要生活的世界
都還要生活的世界
02:50
in which all our children
are going to have to live.
are going to have to live.
49
158760
4400
所帶來的後果。
02:56
It was frankly a horrible moment for me,
50
164240
2816
那一刻對我來說真是可怕，
02:59
and I thought, well, no, hang on,
51
167080
2096
然後我想，不，等等，
03:01
hang on.
52
169200
1616
等等，
03:02
Impossible is not a fact,
53
170840
3816
「不可能」不是一個
既定的事實，
既定的事實，
03:06
it's an attitude.
54
174680
1440
而是一種「態度」。
03:08
It's only an attitude.
55
176800
2376
這僅僅是一種態度。
03:11
And I decided right then and there
that I was going to change my attitude
that I was going to change my attitude
56
179200
4936
就在那刻，
我立刻改變了我的態度，
我立刻改變了我的態度，
03:16
and I was going to help the world
change its attitude on climate change.
change its attitude on climate change.
57
184160
4640
我也要幫助這個世界，
來改變他們對氣候變化的態度。
來改變他們對氣候變化的態度。
03:21
So I don't know --
58
189760
2976
所以，我不知道——
03:24
No, just this? Thanks.
59
192760
1976
不，就是這個？謝謝。
03:26
I don't know --
60
194760
1200
我不知道——
03:30
what you would do
61
198120
1536
如果你被告知你的工作是
要來拯救這個星球，
要來拯救這個星球，
03:31
if you were told
your job is to save the planet.
your job is to save the planet.
62
199680
5440
你會怎麽做？
03:37
Put that on the job description.
63
205960
1800
然後把它寫到你的工作描述中。
03:41
And you have full responsibility,
64
209040
2656
而且你要負起全責，
03:43
but you have absolutely no authority,
65
211720
3136
但你卻完全沒有被授權，
03:46
because governments are sovereign
in every decision that they take.
in every decision that they take.
66
214880
3840
因為政府才是每個決策
的最高統治者。
的最高統治者。
03:52
Well, I would really love to know
67
220560
3456
我著實很想了解，
03:56
what you would do
on the first Monday morning,
on the first Monday morning,
68
224040
2256
各位在第一個星期一
的早晨，會怎麽做？
的早晨，會怎麽做？
03:58
but here's what I did: I panicked.
69
226320
2416
但我當時是：極度恐慌。
04:00
(Laughter)
70
228760
1656
（笑聲）
04:02
And then I panicked again,
71
230440
2496
接著，我還是感到害怕，
04:04
because I realized I have no idea
how we're going to solve this problem.
how we're going to solve this problem.
72
232960
4040
因為我意識到，我根本不知道
該如何解決這個問題。
該如何解決這個問題。
04:09
And then I realized I have no idea
how we're going to solve this problem,
how we're going to solve this problem,
73
237800
4056
之後我還是一樣意識到，
我不知道該如何解決這個問題。
我不知道該如何解決這個問題。
04:13
but I do know one thing:
74
241880
2936
但我知道一點：
04:16
we have got to change
the tone of this conversation.
the tone of this conversation.
75
244840
4976
我們必須要改變這樣的對話氛圍。
04:21
Because there is no way
you can deliver victory
you can deliver victory
76
249840
3096
如果不積極去面對，
04:24
without optimism.
77
252960
1200
是不可能成功的。
04:27
And here,
78
255040
1576
在此，
04:28
I use optimism as a very simple word,
79
256640
4536
我用「正面向上」這個非常簡單的詞
來形容這件事的解決方式，
來形容這件事的解決方式，
04:33
but let's understand it
in its broader sense.
in its broader sense.
80
261200
2776
但讓我們先從廣義層面上
來理解這個詞。
來理解這個詞。
04:36
Let's understand it as courage,
81
264000
2896
讓我們把它理解為勇氣、
04:38
hope, trust, solidarity,
82
266920
3976
希望、信任以及齊心協力，
04:42
the fundamental belief
that we humans can come together
that we humans can come together
83
270920
4896
秉持著人類能夠團結在一起
的基本信念，
的基本信念，
04:47
and can help each other
to better the fate of mankind.
to better the fate of mankind.
84
275840
3280
以及能夠為了人類
將來的幸福而相互幫助。
將來的幸福而相互幫助。
04:51
Well, you can imagine
that I thought that without that,
that I thought that without that,
85
279800
2616
各位可以試想一下，
如果我不這麽想，
如果我不這麽想，
04:54
there was no way we were going
to get out of the paralysis of Copenhagen.
to get out of the paralysis of Copenhagen.
86
282440
3456
可能我們便沒有辦法
從哥本哈根的爛攤子裏走出來。
從哥本哈根的爛攤子裏走出來。
04:57
And for six years,
87
285920
1816
這六年來，
04:59
I have stubbornly, relentlessly
injected optimism into the system,
injected optimism into the system,
88
287760
5856
我懷抱著不屈不饒的態度，
向這個體系注入樂觀主義，
向這個體系注入樂觀主義，
05:05
no matter what the questions
from the press --
from the press --
89
293640
2856
無論媒體會提出甚麼樣的質疑——
05:08
and I have gotten better at those --
90
296520
2176
我現在變得更會處理這些質疑了——
05:10
and no matter what the evidence
to the contrary.
to the contrary.
91
298720
3176
而且，無論對立面有著怎樣的證據。
05:13
And believe you me, there has been
a lot of contrary evidence.
a lot of contrary evidence.
92
301920
5480
相信我，反證一直有很多。
05:21
But relentless optimism into the system.
93
309360
4280
但隨著不屈不饒地
把樂觀主義帶入體系，
把樂觀主義帶入體系，
05:26
And pretty soon,
94
314880
1976
很快地，
05:28
we began to see changes
happening in many areas,
happening in many areas,
95
316880
5336
我們開始在很多領域裏
看到了改變，
看到了改變，
05:34
precipitated by thousands of people,
96
322240
3256
數以千計的人參與其中，
05:37
including many of you here today,
97
325520
2616
也包括今天在座的各位，
05:40
and I thank you.
98
328160
1200
對此，我向你們表達我的謝意。
05:42
And this TED community
will not be surprised
will not be surprised
99
330040
5096
我想，TED 社群應該對我
待會要說的不會感到驚訝，
待會要說的不會感到驚訝，
05:47
if I tell you the first area
100
335160
2616
我向各位報告，
我們所看到第一個
了不起改變的領域，
了不起改變的領域，
05:49
in which we saw remarkable change
101
337800
3136
05:52
was ...
102
340960
1200
就是...
05:55
technology.
103
343320
1200
科技。
05:57
We began to see that clean technologies,
104
345600
2616
我們開始看到新的綠能科技
一直陸陸續續出來，
一直陸陸續續出來，
06:00
in particular renewable
energy technologies,
energy technologies,
105
348240
2456
特別是再生能源技術，
06:02
began to drop price
and increase in capacity,
and increase in capacity,
106
350720
2616
從降低成本開始，
到提升容量，
到提升容量，
06:05
to the point where today
we are already building
we are already building
107
353360
3056
到如今我們已經建造出來的
06:08
concentrated solar power plants
108
356440
1736
太陽能發電廠，
06:10
that have the capacity
to power entire cities,
to power entire cities,
109
358200
4456
可以產出足夠的能量
供給整個城市，
供給整個城市，
06:14
to say nothing of the fact
of what we are doing on mobility
of what we are doing on mobility
110
362680
4136
更不用提，我們現在
正在建造的智慧行動建築物。
06:18
and intelligent buildings.
111
366840
1880
06:21
And with this shift in technologies,
112
369400
2816
因這些科技的轉變，
06:24
we were able to begin to understand
113
372240
3176
我們也有能力開始了解到
06:27
that there was a shift
in the economic equation,
in the economic equation,
114
375440
3560
經濟模式上的轉變，
06:31
because we were able to recognize
115
379720
2096
因為大家都認同...
06:33
that yes, there are
huge costs to climate change,
huge costs to climate change,
116
381840
3096
沒錯，氣候變化會讓我們
付出巨大的代價，
付出巨大的代價，
06:36
and yes, there are compounded risks.
117
384960
2536
沒錯，其中也有各種風險。
06:39
But there also are economic advantages
118
387520
2656
但也有經濟效益
06:42
and intrinsic benefits,
119
390200
1696
及本質上的好處，
06:43
because the dissemination
of the clean technologies
of the clean technologies
120
391920
2936
因為綠能科技的散播，
06:46
is going to bring us cleaner air,
121
394880
2000
能夠帶給我們更新鮮的空氣、
06:50
better health,
122
398640
1376
更健康的生活、
06:52
better transportation,
more livable cities,
more livable cities,
123
400040
2536
更順暢的交通、
更多的宜居城市、
更多的宜居城市、
06:54
more energy security,
124
402600
1536
更多安全的能源，
06:56
more energy access
to the developing world.
to the developing world.
125
404160
3456
以及能夠幫助更多
發展中國家能源的出口。
發展中國家能源的出口。
06:59
In sum, a better world
than what we have now.
than what we have now.
126
407640
3040
總而言之，一個比我們現在
還要好的世界。
還要好的世界。
07:03
And with that understanding,
127
411840
1680
有了這樣的體悟，
07:06
you should have witnessed,
in fact, part of you were,
in fact, part of you were,
128
414840
3496
各位應該都已見證到，事實上，
07:10
the spread of ingenuity and excitement
129
418360
4336
部分人已經感受到
聰明才智和興奮的蔓延，
聰明才智和興奮的蔓延，
07:14
that went through,
first through nonnational governments,
first through nonnational governments,
130
422720
4016
已經首先蔓延到非國家政府組織，
07:18
the private sector, captains of industry,
insurance companies,
insurance companies,
131
426760
4136
私營企業、資本產業、保險公司、
07:22
investors, city leaders,
faith communities,
faith communities,
132
430920
4296
投資人、城市領導人、宗教團體，
07:27
because they all began to understand,
this actually can be in their interest.
this actually can be in their interest.
133
435240
5336
因為他們都開始了解，
這著實和他們的切身利益有關。
這著實和他們的切身利益有關。
07:32
This can actually
improve their bottom line.
improve their bottom line.
134
440600
3520
這確實可以帶給他們很多好處。
07:37
And it wasn't just the usual suspects.
135
445840
5760
而這並不是常有的事。
07:44
I have to tell you I had the CEO
of a major, major oil and gas company
of a major, major oil and gas company
136
452760
5296
我必須告訴各位，我有位大型
石油天然氣公司的首席執行官，
石油天然氣公司的首席執行官，
07:50
come to me at the beginning of last year
137
458080
2336
在去年年初的時候找到我，
07:52
and say --
138
460440
1200
和我說道 --
07:54
privately, of course --
139
462520
1760
當然，是私底下 --
07:57
he did not know how
he was going to change his company,
he was going to change his company,
140
465280
3856
他當時不知道
該如何改變目前的公司狀況，
該如何改變目前的公司狀況，
08:01
but he is going to change it,
141
469160
2176
但是他有這個打算，
08:03
because he's interested
in long-term viability.
in long-term viability.
142
471360
2680
因為他注重的是
公司長久的生存之道。
公司長久的生存之道。
08:06
Well, now we have a shift
in the economic equation,
in the economic equation,
143
474840
5176
現在，我們在經濟平衡
方面有了轉變，
方面有了轉變，
08:12
and with that, with broader
support from everyone,
support from everyone,
144
480040
4336
而由於這個轉變
及大家廣泛的支持，
及大家廣泛的支持，
08:16
it did not take very long
before we saw that national governments
before we saw that national governments
145
484400
6376
不用多久的時間，我們就可以看到
各國政府在對自身國家利益上的覺醒
應該也快到來了。
應該也快到來了。
08:22
woke up to the fact
that this is in their national interest.
that this is in their national interest.
146
490800
4856
08:27
And when we asked countries
to begin to identify
to begin to identify
147
495680
4136
而當我們開始要求各國政府提出計畫，
08:31
how they could contribute
to global efforts
to global efforts
148
499840
3896
如何在兼顧自己國家的利益前提下，
同時為全球做出貢獻，
同時為全球做出貢獻，
08:35
but based on their national interest,
149
503760
2336
08:38
189 countries out of 195,
150
506120
4256
195 個裡面，有189 個國家，
08:42
189 countries sent their
comprehensive climate change plans,
comprehensive climate change plans,
151
510400
5336
這189個國家已經送出了
對氣候變化全方位的改善計畫。
不僅基於國家利益上，
08:47
based on their national interest,
152
515760
2135
08:49
concurrent with their priorities,
153
517919
1897
他們的優先發展事項，
08:51
consistent with their national
sustainable development plans.
sustainable development plans.
154
519840
3480
也都能與各國永續發展計劃相輔相成。
08:56
Well,
155
524680
1200
當然，
08:58
once you protect
the core interests of nations,
the core interests of nations,
156
526800
5176
一旦你保護了各國的核心利益，
09:04
then you can understand
that nations were ready
that nations were ready
157
532000
3656
你就會了解到，各國也都準備好
09:07
to begin to converge onto a common path,
158
535680
3616
開始通往同一條道路，
09:11
onto a common direction of travel
159
539320
3256
大家為同一個方向努力，
09:14
that is going to take us
probably several decades,
probably several decades,
160
542600
3136
這也許會花我們數十年的時間，
09:17
but over those several decades
is going to take us
is going to take us
161
545760
2496
但過了這數十年後，
09:20
into the new economy,
162
548280
1456
一個展新的經濟繁榮時代，
09:21
into a decarbonized,
highly resilient economy,
highly resilient economy,
163
549760
3576
一個脫碳化、高強度晉升
的經濟時代。
的經濟時代。
09:25
And the national contributions
that are currently on the table
that are currently on the table
164
553360
3376
目前檯面上這些代表各國政府
09:28
on behalf of national governments
165
556760
2296
對我們環境貢獻所提出的計畫
09:31
are insufficient to get us
to a stabilized climate,
to a stabilized climate,
166
559080
4136
雖然不足以帶給我們
一個穩定的氣候，
一個穩定的氣候，
09:35
but they are only the first step,
167
563240
2056
但他們已經邁出了第一步，
09:37
and they will improve over time.
168
565320
2016
而且他們會隨著時間，持續改進。
09:39
And the measurement, reporting
and verification of all of those efforts
and verification of all of those efforts
169
567360
4416
而這些結果的衡量、匯報以及檢驗，
都是具有法律約束力的。
09:43
is legally binding.
170
571800
1656
09:45
And the checkpoints that we're
going to have every five years
going to have every five years
171
573480
3736
而我們每五年所要面對的檢驗關卡，
09:49
to assess collective progress
towards our goal are legally binding,
towards our goal are legally binding,
172
577240
4496
包括為了達到我們目標
對總體進展的檢驗，
對總體進展的檢驗，
09:53
and the path itself toward
a decarbonized and more resilient economy
a decarbonized and more resilient economy
173
581760
4896
以及通往減碳、強勁的
經濟復甦道路所進行的檢驗，
經濟復甦道路所進行的檢驗，
09:58
is legally binding.
174
586680
1200
都是具有法律約束力的。
10:00
And here's the more important part:
175
588480
2016
還有更重要的是：
10:02
What did we have before?
176
590520
1416
我們之前有的是什麼？
10:03
A very small handful of countries
177
591960
3056
只有少數幾個國家，
10:07
who had undertaken very reduced,
178
595040
3240
做到了非常少量、
10:11
short-term emission reduction commitments
179
599320
3056
短期的減碳承諾，
10:14
that were completely insufficient
180
602400
3176
但這根本完全不夠，
10:17
and furthermore,
largely perceived as a burden.
largely perceived as a burden.
181
605600
3416
此外，很大程度上，
減碳被各國視為是一種負擔。
減碳被各國視為是一種負擔。
10:21
Now what do we have?
182
609040
1416
那現在我們擁有什麼？
10:22
Now we have all countries of the world
contributing with different intensities
contributing with different intensities
183
610480
5576
我們現在有的是，世界各個國家
用不同的方式
用不同的方式
在不同的區域、不同的領域
做出他們的貢獻，
做出他們的貢獻，
10:28
from different approaches
in different sectors,
in different sectors,
184
616080
2296
10:30
but all of them
contributing to a common goal
contributing to a common goal
185
618400
3480
但大家都是為了同一個目標，
10:35
and along a path
186
623040
2456
朝著同一方向前進，
10:37
with environmental integrity.
187
625520
2040
為全球永續環境努力。
10:40
Well, once you have all of this in place
188
628400
4056
一旦所有事物都適得其所，
10:44
and you have shifted this understanding,
189
632480
2216
你也開始改變想法，
10:46
then you see that governments
were able to go to Paris
were able to go to Paris
190
634720
4376
那你就會看到各國政府
都有能力可以前往巴黎
都有能力可以前往巴黎
10:51
and adopt the Paris agreement.
191
639120
2536
並接受巴黎的協議。
10:53
(Applause)
192
641680
2640
（掌聲）
11:01
So,
193
649360
1200
所以，
11:03
as I look back
194
651280
1520
當我回顧這一切，
11:08
over the past six years,
195
656440
2120
回顧過去的這六年，
11:14
first I remember
196
662000
1480
跳出的第一件事，
11:16
the day the Paris agreement was adopted.
197
664480
3600
便是巴黎協議被采納的那天。
11:20
I cannot tell you
the euphoria in the room.
the euphoria in the room.
198
668800
2576
我無法形容當時
在那個空間裏的興奮度。
在那個空間裏的興奮度。
11:23
5,000 people jumping out of their seats,
199
671400
3376
5000個人都高興的
從椅子上跳了起來，
從椅子上跳了起來，
11:26
crying, clapping, screaming, yelling,
200
674800
3656
哭泣，鼓掌，尖叫，吶喊著，
11:30
torn between euphoria and still disbelief
at what they had just seen,
at what they had just seen,
201
678480
5296
大家高興到簡直不敢相信
他們剛剛所見證到的事情。
他們剛剛所見證到的事情。
11:35
because so many people
202
683800
1840
因為有太多的人，
11:38
had worked for years towards this,
and this was finally their reality.
and this was finally their reality.
203
686440
4680
為達成這個目標努力了好幾年，
而現在終於實現了。
而現在終於實現了。
11:44
And it wasn't just those
who had participated directly.
who had participated directly.
204
692480
4240
而這不僅僅是
直接參與的那些人很高興。
直接參與的那些人很高興。
11:49
A few weeks ago, I was with a colleague
205
697600
2776
幾周前，我的一位同事也是，
11:52
who was trying to decide
206
700400
1816
他當時在為他美麗的妻子Natasha，
11:54
on a Tahitian pearl that he wanted
to give to his wonderful wife Natasha.
to give to his wonderful wife Natasha.
207
702240
5200
挑選大溪地珍珠作為禮物的時候。
12:01
And once he had finally decided
what he was going to buy,
what he was going to buy,
208
709160
4040
在他最後決定要買哪一個的時候，
12:06
the jeweler said to him,
209
714760
1216
珠寶店員和他說道，
12:08
"You know, you're very lucky
that you're buying this now,
that you're buying this now,
210
716000
2816
“你知道嗎，你現在
買下這個十分幸運，
買下這個十分幸運，
12:10
because these pearls could go extinct
very soon because of climate change."
very soon because of climate change."
211
718840
4680
因為這些珍珠會因為氣候變化，
很快就都找不到了。”
很快就都找不到了。”
12:16
"But," the jeweler said, "have you heard,
212
724240
3536
“但是，”店員又說，“你有聽說了嗎，
12:19
the governments
have just come to a decision,
have just come to a decision,
213
727800
2776
政府剛提出一個決策，
12:22
and Tahiti could have a chance."
214
730600
3240
讓大溪地可能還有一線希望。”
12:26
Well, what a fantastic confirmation
215
734800
3216
是的，多麼棒的證實，
12:30
that perhaps, perhaps here is hope,
216
738040
4016
可能，有可能便有希望，
12:34
here is a possible chance.
217
742080
2000
這裡就可能有一線希望。
12:37
I'm the first one to recognize
that we have a lot of work still to do.
that we have a lot of work still to do.
218
745640
4656
我是第一個體認到
我們還有很多事要去做的人。
我們還有很多事要去做的人。
12:42
We've only just started
our work on climate change.
our work on climate change.
219
750320
3336
在氣候變化的問題上，
我們僅僅只是剛開始而已。
我們僅僅只是剛開始而已。
12:45
And in fact, we need to make sure
that we redouble our efforts
that we redouble our efforts
220
753680
3696
事實上，我們還需要確保我們能夠，
12:49
over the next five years
that are the urgent five years.
that are the urgent five years.
221
757400
3800
在接下來十分重要的五年內，
能加倍我們的努力。
能加倍我們的努力。
12:54
But I do believe
222
762640
2856
但我真的相信，
12:57
that we have come over the past six years
223
765520
2936
大家這六年來，
13:00
from the impossible
224
768480
1200
我們已經從曾經不可能的泥沼，
13:02
to the now unstoppable.
225
770440
2096
成長到如今的勢不可擋的局面。
13:04
And how did we do that?
By injecting transformational optimism
By injecting transformational optimism
226
772560
5056
而我們又是如何做到的呢？就是
藉由注入具有轉變意義的樂觀態度，
藉由注入具有轉變意義的樂觀態度，
13:09
that allowed us to go
from confrontation to collaboration,
from confrontation to collaboration,
227
777640
3456
讓我們彼此從對峙走到合作，
13:13
that allowed us to understand
that national and local interests
that national and local interests
228
781120
3296
讓我們理解國家和當地的利益，
13:16
are not necessarily at odds
with global needs,
with global needs,
229
784440
3376
沒必要與全球的需求分道揚鑣，
13:19
and that if we understand that,
we can bring them together
we can bring them together
230
787840
2715
並且如果我們理解這點，
我們就能夠讓大家
團結起來和睦相處。
團結起來和睦相處。
13:22
and we can merge them harmoniously.
231
790579
2237
13:24
And as I look forward
to other global issues
to other global issues
232
792840
3736
當然，我也期望其它的全球議題，
13:28
that will require
our attention this century --
our attention this century --
233
796600
3856
也能在這個世紀得到我們的關注--
13:32
food security, water security,
home security, forced migration --
home security, forced migration --
234
800480
4480
食品安全，水源安全，
家庭保全，強制移民 --
家庭保全，強制移民 --
13:39
I see that we certainly do not know
235
807080
2416
我想我們目前還不是十分清楚，
13:41
how we are going to solve
those problems yet.
those problems yet.
236
809520
3536
該如何解決這些問題。
13:45
But we can take a page
out of what we have done on climate change
out of what we have done on climate change
237
813080
4696
但我們能為氣候變化上做出的貢獻，
畫下新的篇章，
畫下新的篇章，
13:49
and we can understand
238
817800
1256
並且我們知道，
13:51
that we have got to reinterpret
the zero-sum mentality.
the zero-sum mentality.
239
819080
6296
我們應該重新解釋
零和（不是輸就是贏）的想法。
零和（不是輸就是贏）的想法。
13:57
Because we were trained to believe
that there always are winners and losers,
that there always are winners and losers,
240
825400
4976
因為我們從小就被灌輸，
有贏家就必定有輸家的觀念，
有贏家就必定有輸家的觀念，
14:02
and that your loss is my gain.
241
830400
1640
被灌輸別人的損失，
就是我的獲利的觀念。
就是我的獲利的觀念。
14:04
Well, now that we're in a world
242
832640
2096
然而，我們共同生活在同個世界，
14:06
in which we have reached
planetary boundaries
planetary boundaries
243
834760
2936
一個我們都會碰到
許多界限的世界，
許多界限的世界，
14:09
and that we are not
just so interconnected,
just so interconnected,
244
837720
2656
我們並非只是相互聯結，
14:12
but increasingly
interdependent on each other,
interdependent on each other,
245
840400
3416
更是相互依靠，
14:15
your loss is no longer my gain.
246
843840
2160
你的損失，不再是我的獲利。
14:18
We're either all losers
247
846760
2480
我們要麼全都是輸家，
14:22
or we all can be winners.
248
850160
2736
或者要麼全都是贏家。
14:24
But we are going to have to decide
249
852920
2296
但我們需要在零和遊戲中做出選擇，
14:27
between zero and sum.
250
855240
3160
14:31
We're going to have to decide
between zero benefit for all
between zero benefit for all
251
859040
4856
我們需要在「大家都贏」和
「大家都輸」這兩者之間作出選擇。
「大家都輸」這兩者之間作出選擇。
14:35
or living life as the sum of all of us.
252
863920
3976
14:39
We've done it once. We can do it again.
253
867920
2336
我們曾經做到，
我們還可以再次做到。
我們還可以再次做到。
14:42
Thanks.
254
870280
1216
謝謝。
