Hi, my name is Alexandra Villasenor. And thank you all so much for having me here today.
大家好，我叫亚历珊德拉·维拉塞诺。非常感谢今天让我出席这次会议。
In the year 2030, I will be 25 years old. At that time, eleven years will have passed since scientists informed humanity that the time was running out to avoid irreversible catastrophic effects of climate change.
At that time, in the future, I will also be a young adult, capable of voting and capable of designing the policies and actions that will shape the world.
到未来的那个时候，我也将成为一个年轻的成年人，有能力投票和参与制定塑造世界的政策和行动。
But right now I am just a child and I want to tell you how frustrating it is to know that when I am an adult it will be too late.
但现在我还是个孩子，我想告诉你们，知道等我长大成人的那一天一切都为时已晚，这是多么的令人沮丧。
I am frustrated because this is the moment that really matters and there is no time for me to grow up and grasp those reins of power.
我很沮丧，因为现在就是真正重要的时刻，我等不到长大后掌握权力了再去改变。
I'm frustrated and terrified watching the adults around me move too slowly towards the solutions upon which my future depends.
我很沮丧和害怕，看着我周围的成年人在对我的未来所依赖的解决方案上行动如此缓慢。
My message to you today is a message of urgency. We children need you to urgently act on climate change.
我今天向你们传达的信息是紧急信息。我们孩子需要你们紧急去应对气候变化。
All around the world, children are the most affected by climate change more than adults. And the consequences of our warming planet are very personal to me.
Last November I experienced the facts of the worst wildfire in the history of my home state of California, a wildfire that burns out of control for many days fueled by climate change. I became ill from the smoke that invaded my family home, making me nauseous and inflaming my asthma. It took me weeks to recover.
Article 6 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes that we children have an inherent right to life. It also states that the parties to the convention will ensure our survival and development.
“儿童权利公约”第6条承认我们的儿童拥有固有的生命权。它还指出，公约缔约方应确保我们的生存和发展。
I believe those who are causing our planet to heat up, destroying our ecosystems and biosphere that we depend on for life are violating my rights as a child. And now I want you to hold them accountable. I believe the children of the world have the right to a stable climate system that will support our development and life as well as the life of future generations.
