乌干达气候活动家瓦内萨·纳卡泰表示，非洲正在为一个并非由其引发的危机付出高昂代价。她已将争取气候正义的斗争从坎帕拉的街头带到了权力殿堂。她始终站在全球气候运动的前沿，敦促世界领导人采取行动，参与抗议活动，并在国际会议上就全球变暖的危险性发表演讲。
Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate says Africa is paying a high price for a crisis it did not create. She has taken her fight for climate justice from the streets of Kampala to the halls of power. She has been front and centre in the global climate movement, urging world leaders to act, taking part in protests and speaking at international conferences about the dangers of global warming.
然而，纳卡泰承认进展缓慢。作为联合国儿童基金会的亲善大使，她亲眼目睹了社区受到的影响，并坚持认为主要污染者应承担责任。她决心提高人们对全球变暖如何特别影响非洲国家的认识。她表示，非洲大陆往往被排除在相关讨论之外。
However, Nakate admits progress has been slow. As a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, she has seen firsthand how communities are affected, and insists the major polluters should be held accountable. She is determined to raise awareness about how global warming is affecting African countries in particular. She says the continent is often left out of discussions.
纳卡泰承认，她有时会对世界现状感到绝望，但基层倡议带来的变化让她感到鼓舞。
Nakate admits she sometimes feels hopeless about the state of the world, but she is encouraged by grassroots initiatives that are bringing about change.
