Zašto je Greta Tunberg odbila nagradu koja donosi 50.000 evra?

Mlada aktivistkinja iz Švedske Greta Tunberg dobila je nagradu Nordijskog saveta za ekologiju koja donosi preko 50.000 evra. Ipak, ova tinejdžerka je odbila da primi priznanje jer "hvaljenje i divne reči" neće "smanjiti emisiju ugljen dioksida".

Šveđanka je na Instagramu objavila svoju fotografiju ispod koje je objasnila zašto odbija da prihvati prestižnu nagradu. I dok se Savetu zahvalila na "velioj časti", rekla je da "klimatskom pokretu nije potrebna više nijedna nagrada".

- Ono što nam je potrebano je da naši političari i ljudi na pozivija počnu da slušaju nauku - navela je ona.

I have received the Nordic Council’s environmental award 2019. I have decided to decline this prize. Here’s why: “I am currently traveling through California and therefore not able to be present with you today. I want to thank the Nordic Council for this award. It is a huge honour. But the climate movement does not need any more awards. What we need is for our politicians and the people in power start to listen to the current, best available science. The Nordic countries have a great reputation around the world when it comes to climate and environmental issues. There is no lack of bragging about this. There is no lack of beautiful words. But when it comes to our actual emissions and our ecological footprints per capita - if we include our consumption, our imports as well as aviation and shipping - then it’s a whole other story. In Sweden we live as if we had about 4 planets according to WWF and Global Footprint Network. And roughly the same goes for the entire Nordic region. In Norway for instance, the government recently gave a record number of permits to look for new oil and gas. The newly opened oil and natural gas-field, ”Johan Sverdrup” is expected to produce oil and natural gas for 50 years; oil and gas that would generate global CO2 emissions of 1,3 tonnes. The gap between what the science says is needed to limit the increase of global temperature rise to below 1,5 or even 2 degrees - and politics that run the Nordic countries is gigantic. And there are still no signs whatsoever of the changes required. The Paris Agreement, which all of the Nordic countries have signed, is based on the aspect of equity, which means that richer countries must lead the way. We belong to the countries that have the possibility to do the most. And yet our countries still basically do nothing. So until you start to act in accordance with what the science says is needed to limit the global temperature rise below 1,5 degrees or even 2 degrees celsius, I - and Fridays For Future in Sweden - choose not to accept the Nordic Councils environmental award nor the prize money of 500 000 Swedish kronor.

Dodala je da Skandinavija ima odličnu reputaciju u svetu kada su u pitanju klimatski problemi, ali je rekla da se u Švedskoj živi "kao da imamo četiri planete".

- Jaz između onoga što nauka kaže da je potrebno organičenje porasta globalne temperature na ispod 1,5 stepeni ili čak 2, i politike koju vode nordijske zemlje je veliki. I još nema znakova o svim potrebnim promenama. Pripadamo zemljama koje imaju mogućnost da učine najviše, a naše zemlje u osnovi i dalje ne rade ništa - rekla je ona.
