काठमाडौं –जलवायु अभियन्ताले पाउने सम्मान ग्रहण नगरेपछि स्वीडेनकी १६ वर्षिया जलवायु अभियन्ता ग्रेटा थनबर्गको चर्चा चुलिएको छ । उनले मंगलवार पर्यावरण अर्वाड लिन अस्विकार गरेकी थिइन् । 

उनले जलवायु आन्दोलनका लागि अवार्डको कुनै आवश्यक नभएको बताउँदै आन्दोलनका लागि विज्ञानलाई सुन्न जरूरी भएको बताएकी छिन् । युवा जलवायु अभियन्ताको ‘फाइडेज फर फूचर’ मूभमेन्टमा लाखौं मानिस सहभागी भएका थिए । 

यस विषयलाई लिएर स्टोकहोममा नोर्डिक काउन्सिलले उनलाई सम्मानित गरेको थियो । थनबर्गको स्वीडेन र नर्वेमा आफ्नो कामका लागि  चुनिएकी थिइन्  ।

स्वीडेनको एक सञ्चारमाध्यमका अनुसार पुरस्कारको घोषणा भएपछि थनबर्गको प्रतिनिधिले दर्शकसँग उनले सो पुरस्कार स्विकार नगर्ने बताएका थिए । 

थनबर्ग अहिले अमेरिकामा छिन् । उनले सामाजिक सञ्जालमार्फत अर्वाडका लागि काउन्सिललाई धन्यवाद दिएकी छिन् । इन्स्टाग्राममा उनले लेखेकी छिन्, ‘क्लाइमेन्ट मूभमेन्टका लागि कुनै पुरस्कारको आवश्यकता पर्दैन । हाम्रो लागि आजको आवश्यकता यो हो कि, नेता तथा सत्ताामा रहेका व्यक्तिहरूले विज्ञानलाई सुनुन् ।'

सामाजिक सञ्जालमा अहिले उनको यो कदमको चर्चा चलिरहेको छ । एजेन्सी

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. Best wishes Greta Thunberg”
