TED演講者：Fehinti Balogun / 費(fèi)欣蒂·巴洛貢

演講標(biāo)題：How to find your voice for climate action / 如何為氣候行動(dòng)找到自己的聲音

內(nèi)容概要：Actor and activist Fehinti Balogun pieces together multiple complex issues -- climate change, colonialism, systemic racism -- in a talk that's part spoken-word poem, part diagnosis of entrenched global problems. Seeing the connections is a way to unlock collective solutions, he says -- and you have the power to reimagine what you think is possible.

演員和活動(dòng)家費(fèi)欣蒂·巴洛貢將多個(gè)復(fù)雜的問題--氣候變化、殖民主義、系統(tǒng)性種族主義--組合在一起，他的演講部分是口語詩，部分是對(duì)根深蒂固的全球問題的診斷。他說，看到這些聯(lián)系是開啟集體解決方案的一種方式 -- 你有能力重新想象你認(rèn)為可能的事情。
