My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 15 years old. I am from Sweden.
我叫格雷塔通贝里，今年15岁，我是瑞典人。
I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now.
我现在代表“气候正义”发言。
Many people say that Sweden is just a small country and it doesn't matter what we do.
很多人说瑞典只是一个小国，我们做什么并不重要。
But I've learned you are never too small to make a difference.
但我知道，你永远不会因为太渺小而不能有所作为。
And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to. But to do that, we have to speak clearly, no matter how uncomfortable that may be.
You only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake.
You are not mature enough to tell it like is. Even that burden you leave to us children. But I don't care about being popular. I care about climate justice and the living planet.
Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money.
我们的文明正在被牺牲，以换取极少数人继续赚大钱的机会。
Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury. It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.
The year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children maybe they will spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask me about you. Maybe they will ask why you didn't do anything while there still was time to act.
You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes.
你们说，你们爱自己的孩子们胜过一切。但你们却在孩子们的眼前偷走了他们的未来。
Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope. We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis.
We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground, and we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, maybe we should change the system itself.
