Greta Thunberg :《時代週刊》2019年度風雲人物
它始於一個在全球的每一個角落每一代的父母所熟悉的故事:一個憤怒的少年和一個突然爆發的起義。它成為了歷史上最不可能、也是最迅速提升全球影響力的事件之一。在一年多一點的時間裡,一名來自斯德哥爾摩的16歲女孩從獨自一人在本國議會外的鵝卵石上抗議,轉變為領導一場全球青年運動;從一個學生在法語課上使用動詞變位法,到會見聯合國秘書長,再到接見總統和教皇;從手持手繪標語的單獨示威者,到鼓舞150多個國家的數百萬人走上街頭,代表我們共同的地球。
如果沒有那些有影響力的人的激勵,有意義的變化很少會發生。在2019年,地球的生存危機在 Greta Thunberg 影響下爆發。在歐洲各地組織“週五為未來”的抗議活動;“你怎麼敢!世界上最具影響力的領導人在她的聯合國演講中病毒式傳播;今年9月,全世界約有700萬人因氣候變化而罷工,12月初又有數萬人在馬德里舉行罷工。在這個全球面臨的最大問題上, Greta Thunberg 已經發出了最響亮的聲音,同時,從香港的校園到華盛頓的國會大廳,我們的文化正在經歷更大範圍的世代變遷。
Greta Thunberg: TIME’s Person of the Year 2019
It began with a story line familiar to every parent of every generation in every corner of the globe: an indignant teenager and a sudden burst of rebellion. It became one of the most unlikely and surely one of the swiftest ascents to global influence in history. Over the course of little more than a year, a 16-year-old from Stockholm went from a solitary protest on the cobblestones outside her country’s Parliament to leading a worldwide youth movement; from a schoolkid conjugating verbs in French class to meeting with the Secretary-General of the United Nations and receiving audiences with Presidents and the Pope; from a solo demonstrator with a hand-painted slogan (Skolstrejk för Klimatet) to inspiring millions of people across more than 150 countries to take to the streets on behalf of the planet we share.
Meaningful change rarely happens without the galvanizing force of influential individuals, and in 2019, the earth’s existential crisis found one in Greta Thunberg. Marshaling “Fridays for Future” protests throughout Europe; thundering, “How dare you!” at the world’s most powerful leaders in her viral U.N. speech; leading some 7 million climate strikers across the world in September and tens of thousands more in Madrid in early December, Thunberg has become the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet—and the avatar of a broader generational shift in our culture that is playing out everywhere from the campuses of Hong Kong to the halls of Congress in Washington.
