5
Leonardo DiCaprio, would you please join me on stage?
6
Thank you very much.
7
Thank you.
8
Thank you, Professor Klaus Schwab, Hilde Schwab, and the World Economic Forum for this generous award.
9
Your recognition of my work from my foundation and our partners across the globe is a true honour.
10
Last month in Paris, world leaders reached an historic agreement that provides concrete framework to reduce carbon emissions.
11
This was an important first step, but we're a long way off from claiming victory in the fight for our future and for the survival of our planet.
12
The Paris Agreement was a call to action, but it is now up to all of us to build this progress with ingenuity and a commitment to change.
13
Together we are fighting to preserve our fragile climate from irreversible damage and devastation of unthinkable proportions.
14
I've been traveling recently all over the world for a documentary
15
about how this crisis is changing the natural balance of our planet.
16
In Greenland and in the Arctic, I was astonished to see that ancient glaciers are rapidly disappearing, well ahead of scientific models.
17
In India, I met farmers who have seen their crops, their very livelihood, literally washed away by historic flooding.
18
There's no doubt to the world's scientific community
19
that this is a direct result of human activity and the effects of climate change will become astronomically worse in the future.
20
Last week, President Obama told those who continue to deny the irrefutable science behind climate change
21
that they will find themselves increasingly lonely in a swell of voices calling for action.
22
But studies also show us that those who deny the reality of climate change will also find themselves less economically successful.
23
We simply cannot afford to allow the corporate greed of the coal, oil, and gas industries to determine the future of humanity.
24
Those entities with a financial interest in preserving this destructive system have denied
25
and even covered up the evidence of our changing climate.
26
Enough is enough.
27
You know better.
28
The world knows better.
29
History will place the blame for this devastation squarely at their feet.
30
Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong.
31
Twenty years ago, we described this problem as an addiction.
32
Today we possess the means to end this reliance.
33
Professor Mark Jacobson and a team of researchers at Stanford University have proven
34
that we can meet the world's total energy demand by using existing renewable technology by 2050.
35
To make that potential a reality, we need the collective will and conviction of political, business and philanthropic leaders like all of you.
36
This transition is not only the right thing for our world, it makes clear economic sense and it is possible within our lifetime.
37
A shift of this magnitude will save nearly 42 trillion in global energy costs while creating 20 million new jobs.
38
Over the last several years, organizations and individuals worth 3.8 trillion dollars have already committed to divest their fossil fuel holdings
39
and replace them with new investments in clean renewable energy projects.
40
And leaders like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos have already pledged to help build a zero emissions future.
41
I ask you to join them.
42
Because if we all do our part and act with bold leadership, we can achieve major meaningful progress.
43
It is not only an inevitable transition, it is also imperative for the future of our planet.
44
Which brings me to the other side of this very important issue and the flip side to the environmental crisis,
45
and that is the protection of our planet's last remaining natural ecosystems.
46
Ecosystems that provide us with breathable air, drinkable water, fertile soil, and bountiful seas.
47
These complex ecosystems can never be replaced, and they are the foundation of our global economy and,
48
more importantly, our interconnected climate.
49
Life without them as we know it would simply collapse.
50
Fifteen years ago today, I developed my foundation to focus on these critical issues.
51
Currently less than 3% of all philanthropic giving goes to defending our planet.
52
Given this limited support, it's no surprise that roughly only 2% of our oceans
53
and 12% of our lands are formally protected from invasive human activity like commercial fishing, agriculture, logging and energy extraction.
54
Again, 3% of all philanthropic giving goes towards the protection of our only home, planet Earth.
55
Today, at LDF, we are achieving tangible, exciting results with over 70 partners across 40 countries and all five oceans.
56
By working with the innovative grassroots organizations and leaders, we've quickly donated critical funding they need to rapidly scale up their work.
57
Over the last decade, we have provided direct grants to support projects that have expanded protected areas on land and on sea,
58
protecting iconic endangered species, and empowered Indigenous communities to fight back against corporate encroachment on their lands.
59
But this number needs to grow, and with your help and partnership, it will.
60
Generosity is the key to our future.
61
With that, I'm pleased to announce today a $15 million grant
62
and new commitments from LDF to fast-track cutting-edge sustainability and conservation projects around the world.
63
A prime example of climate change
64
and environmental protection is our grant to the Rainforest Action Network
65
and their partners on the ground to protect the last remaining rainforests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
66
Over the last year,
67
major fires across Sumatra have released more carbon emissions every day than the daily activity of the entire U.S economy.
68
In an effort to protect these last remaining rainforests, the vital lungs of our planet,
69
our foundation is funding their effort to preserve 6.5 million acres from the invasive and destructive practices of the palm oil industry.
70
We are underway with similar efforts in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador.
71
We are supporting the Kaibo Alliance, an indigenous effort to stop rampant and destructive oil extraction that is poisoning their lands and communities.
72
In the United States, we are We are partnering with the Solutions Projects to promote clean energy
73
and support local efforts to implement these projects in their communities.
74
And in our seas, we have partnered with Google and funded the Global Fishing Watch,
75
which is a revolutionary new platform that will actively monitor and ultimately help end the destructive practices of overfishing.
76
Additionally, we are backing an effort to protect the size of Nebraska
77
and the Indian Ocean off the coast of the Seychelles Islands, which is home to vital marine species.
78
Imagine what we can all do with more partnerships.
79
With the alliance of many of you in this room, so much can be done if we all work together.
80
With your help, we can quickly identify and fund the most innovative
81
and effective projects that have the greatest potential to avert the crisis we face.
82
As I look across this room, I'm optimistic that our ability to convene the most significant
83
and influential minds on the planet can result in the global transition necessary to protect both our society and our natural world.
84
The challenges before us require each and every one of us to take action.
85
We owe this to ourselves, but more importantly, we owe it to future generations who are counting on all of us.
86
Thank you all very much and thank you for this great honor.
87
you

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Assistir ao discurso de Leonardo DiCaprio no Fórum Econômico Mundial oferece uma excelente oportunidade para a prática de conversação em inglês. DiCaprio não apenas é um ator renomado, mas também um ativista ambiental que expressa suas ideias de forma clara e apaixonada. Isso garante que os aprendizes não só se familiarizem com o vocabulário avançado, mas também compreendam questões ambientais urgentes. Ao realizar a prática de conversação em inglês através da técnica de shadow speak, os alunos podem melhorar sua fluência e ampliar seu conhecimento sobre problemas globais.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

Durante seu discurso, DiCaprio faz uso de várias estruturas gramaticais e expressões que são fundamentais para a construção de um discurso convincente:

  • Condicionais: Usadas para expressar consequências, como em "Se não agirmos agora, as consequências serão devastadoras."
  • Tempo verbal presente contínuo: Para descrever ações em andamento, por exemplo, "estou viajando pelo mundo".
  • Uso de vocabulário específico: Palavras como "emissões de carbono" e "energias renováveis" são cruciais para discutir mudanças climáticas.
  • Frases imperativas: DiCaprio convida todos a "agir com liderança audaciosa", apelando para um senso de urgência.

Essas estruturas ajudam os alunos a se expressar de maneira mais complexa e a enriquecer sua comunicação durante a prática de conversação em inglês.

Truques Comuns de Pronúncia

A pronúncia pode ser um desafio, e o discurso de DiCaprio tem algumas palavras que podem confundir os aprendizes. Preste atenção especial às seguintes palavras:

  • Climate: Pronunciado como "clai-mit", onde o "ai" é uma vogal longa.
  • Irreversible: Este termo pode ser complicado; pratique para que soe como "irreverbəl".
  • Corporate: Preste atenção ao som do 'r', que deve ser claro e distinto, soando como "côrpərit".

Para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês, ouça repetidamente as partes desafiadoras e tente imitá-las usando a técnica de shadowing. Essa prática permite ajustar a entonação e o ritmo, contribuindo para uma fala mais natural. Ao engajar-se nesta prática, você notará uma evolução significativa na sua habilidade de falar inglês.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
