The world is changing in some really profound ways,
這世界正在發(fā)生某些翻天覆地的變化，
and I worry that investors aren't paying enough attention to some of the biggest drivers of change,
而我擔(dān)心的是投資者們并沒有充分注意到那些引起這些變化的最主要的驅(qū)動因素，
especially when it comes to sustainability.
尤其是在可持續(xù)性發(fā)展方面。
And by sustainability, I mean the really juicy things,
說到可持續(xù)發(fā)展， 我指的是那些最有意思的東西，
like environmental and social issues and corporate governance.
例如環(huán)境問題和社會問題，還有公司的管理。
I think it's reckless to ignore these things,
我覺得這些問題是不容忽視的，
because doing so can jeopardize future long-term returns.
因為忽視它們很可能會危害到未來的長期回報。
And here's something that may surprise you:
下面我要說的可能會讓你感到驚訝：
the balance of power to really influence sustainability rests with institutional investors,
最能影響可持續(xù)性的權(quán)力平衡掌握在機構(gòu)投資者的手中，
the large investors like pension funds,
那些大型投資者，比如養(yǎng)老基金，
foundations and endowments.
基金會和捐贈基金。
I believe that sustainable investing is less complicated than you think,
我相信可持續(xù)性的投資沒有你想的那么復(fù)雜，
better-performing than you believe,
比你預(yù)計的回報率還高，
and more important than we can imagine.
也比我們想像得更重要。
Let me remind you what we already know.
先來回顧一下我們已知的一些事情：
We have a population that's both growing and aging;
世界人口正在不斷增長和老齡化，
we have seven billion souls today heading to 10 billion at the end of the century;
現(xiàn)在有70億人，到了21世紀(jì)末將逼近100億；
we consume natural resources faster than they can be replenished;
我們消耗天然資源的速度快于它們能重新生成的速度；
and the emissions that are mainly responsible for climate change just keep increasing.
而廢氣排放總在不斷地增加，這是造成氣候變化的主要原因。
Now clearly, these are environmental and social issues,
顯然，這里有環(huán)境問題和社會問題，
but that's not all.
但這還不是全部，
They're economic issues,
這里還有經(jīng)濟問題，
and that makes them relevant to risk and return.
所以就與風(fēng)險和投資回報息息相關(guān)。
