The theme of this year's International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is youth. We celebrate young Indigenous Peoples, and their role in creating change and shaping the future.
今年世界土著人民國際日的主題是青年。我們贊揚土著青年,以及他們在創造變革和塑造未來方面的作用。
Across the world, Indigenous Peoples face serious challenges, with their lands and resources threatened, their rights undermined, and their persistent vulnerability to marginalization and exclusion. Young Indigenous Peoples are helping to fight back.
在世界各地,土著人民面臨著嚴峻的挑戰,他們的土地和資源受到威脅,他們的權利受到損害,他們長期易遭受邊緣化和排斥。土著青年正在幫助進行反擊。
They are leaders in the global climate action movement. They advocate justice and equality, celebrate their cultures, advance human rights and raise awareness of Indigenous history and issues around the world. And, learning from their elders, they ensure the continuity of Indigenous cultures, wisdom, and identities far into the future.
他們是全球氣候行動運動的領導者。他們倡導正義與平等,弘揚自己的文化,促進人權,提高全世界對土著歷史和問題的認識。他們向長輩學習,確保土著文化、智慧和身份特征在未來得以延續。
Indigenous knowledge and traditions are deeply rooted in sustainable development and can help to solve many of our common challenges. It is therefore vital that young Indigenous Peoples, both women and men, are involved in decision-making. The choices made today will determine the world of tomorrow.
土著知識和傳統深深植根于可持續發展,有助于解決我們的許多共同挑戰。因此,至關重要的是,土著青年,無論男女,都要參與決策。今天的選擇將決定明天的世界。
So, let us reaffirm our commitment to guaranteeing the individual and collective rights of young Indigenous Peoples as well as supporting their engagement in global dialogues and decision-making. And together, build a better future for us all.
因此,讓我們重申,我們致力于保障土著青年的個人和集體權利,并支持他們參與全球對話和決策。讓我們攜手為所有人構建一個更加美好的未來。
