一个十三岁女孩在联合国大会上震撼世界的演讲： 珊文·古立斯.铃木（Severn Cullis-Suzuki）的父亲是世界知名的加拿大遗传学家与环保人士戴维·铃木博士（Dr. David Suzuki），热心致力于环保工作并且成效卓著，曾荣获「全球优秀领导奖」。珊文·古立斯.铃木是世界上最杰出的青年环保斗士之一，从年少时起，她就藉由发表演讲、主持电视节目与写作，以倡导环保，并力促大众建立价值观、所作所为都要想到未来，以及负起个人应尽的责任。　　1992年当珊文·铃木12岁时，她自己筹钱到巴西的里约热内卢，在联合国的地球峰会上，她做了5分钟的发言。一开始大家觉得这只是漫长会议中的一个有趣的插曲而已，随着她大声说出每一句话，会场开始变得安静。坐在听众席上的各国领导和科学家们，有的表情尴尬，有的似乎被什么击中，有的开始擦眼泪，还有许多人低下了头，好像不知道该怎么和这个小孩对视。 ? 下面是她当年发言稿的中文对照本：英文： 　　“Hello, I am Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O - the Environmental Children’s Organization. We are a group of 12 and 13 year-olds trying to make a difference, Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me.

Losing my future is not like losing an election, or a few points on the stock market.” 　　“I am here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet, because they have nowhere left to go. I am afraid to go out in the sun now, because of the holes in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air, because I don’t know what chemicals are in it. I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home, with my Dad until, just a few years ago, we found a fish full of cancers. And now we hear of animals and plants going extinct every day, vanishing forever. In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.” 　　“Did you have to worry of these things when you were my age? All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I’m only a child and I don’t have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you. You don’t know how
