Face aux défis climatiques, la célèbre océanographe et exploratrice Sylvia Earle lance un message aux jeunes générations lors du One Ocean Science Congress à Nice, événement partenaire du « Point » précédant la Conférence des Nations Unies sur l’Océan (UNOC-3). Elle reconnaît le désespoir des jeunes face aux crises, mais insiste : la connaissance est la clé de l'optimisme.
« Le pire serait de ne pas connaître la nature des problèmes. Nous sommes la cause, mais nous pouvons aussi être la solution ».
Earle regrette que, sans les connaissances actuelles, des erreurs passées aient mené à l'exploitation massive de la vie marine. « Nous avons encore du temps, mais peu »
Elle exhorte les générations futures à agir pour inverser la tendance et assurer un avenir durable.

00:00I hear signs of despair from some of the children of today because of the headlines that did not exist when I was a child.
00:11I mean, wars, poverty, disease, just the fate of the planet as a whole.
00:19The worst news would be if we did not know the nature of the problems we face because we are the cause and we can also be the cure.
00:27It's knowledge, it's knowing that is the key to feeling that sense of not just hope, but really optimism.
00:38If I had to choose a time to be a kid, it would be right now because the things that are now known that nobody could know when I was a child,
00:48if we could take what is now known back to when I started out as a young scientist, people knew what is now known.
01:00Think of the difference we could make armed with the knowledge that we currently have.
01:06We would have taken action to protect whales much sooner than we did.
01:11We would not ever have scaled up the extraction of ocean wildlife on the scale that now threatens the collapse,
01:20not just of individual species, but the way the ocean functions as a whole.
01:26Taking squid by the tongue, these incredible creatures that are so important to the integrity of the ocean itself.
01:34So, imagine if we did not know.
01:40Now we know.
01:42We do have time.
01:43But not a lot.
01:45But think ahead.
01:47I can think back.
01:48But I also like to think, kids of today, children, what your future is going to be.
01:55You might be there 50 years from now, looking back, saying, yes, we made the changes.
02:02And if we hadn't changed right now, right now, this time, the future for all of, not just the future of children,
02:11but the future of life on Earth, would be much less what we want it to be, what it can be.
02:21We're just on the edge of collapse of many of the systems that make Earth habitable.
02:29You, we, all of us 21st century human beings, are privileged to be around at the time when we can make the change that is needed
02:37to secure a long, enduring, and prosperous future for ourselves within the natural systems that make our existence possible.
