And while households in industrialised countries can use up to 50 litres of water per day by just flushing the toilet, over one billion people don’t even have access to the 20-50 litres of safe freshwater considered necessary to ensure basic needs for drinking, cooking and cleaning.
In medtem ko lahko gospodinjstva v industrializiranih državah porabijo do 50 litrov vode na dan samo z splakovanjem stranišča, več kot milijarda ljudi nima dostopa niti do 20–50 litrov varne sveže vode, potrebne za zagotovitev osnovne potrebe po pitju, kuhanju in čiščenju.
The diseases associated with this lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene are costing thousands of people their lives each day.
Bolezni, povezane s pomanjkanjem dostopa do varne pitne vode, neustrezne sanitarne razmere in slaba higiena vsak dan vzamejo na tisoče življenj.
Global poverty is a predominantly rural phenomenon: the meager livelihoods of three-quarters of those in extreme poverty are dependent on natural resources which are constantly being depleted.
Svetovna revščina je predvsem podeželski pojav: življenje v pomanjkanju treh četrtin ljudi v skrajni revščini je odvisno od naravnih virov, ki nenehno izginjajo.
Over the past half century more than a quarter of the world’s 8.7 billion hectares of agricultural lands, pastures, forests and woodlands have been degraded.
V zadnji polovici stoletja je propadla več kot četrtina svetovnih 8,7 milijard hektarjev kmetijskih površin, pašnikov, gozdov in gozdnatih pokrajin.
This is very bad news both for the poor and their environment.
To je zelo slaba novica za revne in za njihovo okolje. Dobra novica je ta, da je revščino mogoče premagati.

Kako ukrepa EU
In 2006 European aid ran to some 48bn, that’s nearly 100 per citizen
Leta 2006 je evropska pomoč dosegla približno 48 milijard EUR, kar je 100 EUR na državljana.
Improve maternal health Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Ensure environmental sustainability Develop a global partnership for development
Razvojni cilji tisočletja so: izkoreniniti skrajno revščino in lakoto; doseči splošno osnovnošolsko izobrazbo; zagotoviti enakost spolov; zmanjšati smrtnost otrok; izboljšati zdravje mater; boriti se proti HIV/AIDS, malariji in drugim boleznim; zagotoviti okoljsko trajnost; razviti globalno partnerstvo za razvoj.
At the 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, the EU launched two initiatives designed to guarantee supplies of water and energy – two essential components to poverty reduction.
Na Svetovnem vrhu o trajnostnem razvoju leta 2002 v Johannesburgu je EU predstavila dve pobudi, s katerima želi zagotoviti oskrbo z vodo in energijo – dve bistveni sestavini za zmanjšanje revščine.
The first – the Water for Life initiative – aims to halve the number of people without access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation by 2015.
Cilj prve pobude – Voda za življenje – je do leta 2015 prepoloviti število ljudi, ki nimajo dostopa do varne pitne vode in ustreznih sanitarij.
The second – the Energy Initiative for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development – seeks to attract new resources in terms of capital, technology and human resources from the private sector and financial institutions.
Druga – Energetska pobuda za izkoreninjenje revščine in trajnostni razvoj – skuša pritegniti nove vire, t. j. kapital, tehnologije in človeške vire iz zasebnega sektorja in finančnih ustanov.
Under the Cotonou Agreement which runs until 2020, the EU is working with African, Caribbean and Pacific countries to achieve their gradual integration into the global economy.
V okviru sporazuma iz Cotonouja, ki velja do leta 2020, sodeluje EU z afriškimi, karibskimi in pacifiškimi državami, da bi dosegla njihovo postopno vključevanje v svetovno gospodarstvo.
With Latin America, a range of agreements have been concluded based on a strengthening of economic cooperation, institutionalised political dialogue and trade relations.
Vrsta sporazumov, ki temeljijo na krepitvi gospodarske konkurenčnosti, institucionaliziranega političnega dialoga in trgovinskih odnosov, je bila sklenjena z Južno Ameriko.
The EU is now Latin America’s number one foreign investor and second biggest trading partner.
EU je zdaj vodilna tuja vlagateljica v Južni Ameriki in druga največji trgovinska partnerica.
In Asia, which is home to two-thirds of the world’s poor, the EU is contributing to a third of the continent’s total aid.
V Aziji, kjer živita dve tretjini revnih ljudi iz celega sveta, prispeva EU eno tretjino skupne pomoči, namenjene tej celini.
The EU’s overall target is to raise the volume of aid donated to developing countries to 0.7% of its countries’ Gross National Income by 2015.
Splošni cilj EU je do leta 2015 povečati obseg pomoči za države v razvoju na 0,7 % bruto nacionalnega dohodka držav EU.
While national policies regarding the eradication of poverty are set by governments, each of us can make a difference.
Medtem ko vlade oblikujejo nacionalne politike za odpravo revščine, lahko nekaj spremenimo tudi sami.
One way of helping is to buy as you would normally and donate at the same time.
Pomagamo lahko tako, da kupujemo kot običajno in da hkrati še darujemo.
Cause marketing, as it’s known, brings together for-profit businesses and non-profit organisations in a win-win situation.
Tako imenovano trženje z razlogom povezuje profitna podjetja in neprofitne organizacije v situacijo, v kateri lahko vsakdo nekaj pridobi.
An example of this is Product RED which raises money to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria through a number of wellknown brands.
Primer je Product RED, ki zbira denar za boj proti AIDS-u, tuberkulozi in malariji prek številnih znanih blagovnih znamk.
You can also make a difference at your local grocery store by choosing from among 1,500 FairTrade products.
Prav tako lahko pripomorete k spremembam v svoji lokalni trgovini, kjer lahko izbirate med 150 0 izdelki „pravične trgovine“.
This simple act goes a long way to guaranteeing fair wages for producers.
To preprosto dejanje bo pomagalo zagotoviti pravične plače proizvajalcem.
Another way of contributing to your favourite charity, without it costing you a penny, is through ethical banking.
Drug način prispevanja v vaš priljubljeni dobrodelni sklad, ne da bi pri tem zapravili en sam evro, je s pomočjo etičnega bančništva.
This is becoming increasingly popular across Europe.
To postaja čedalje bolj priljubljeno v vsej Evropi.
If you have money to invest, wherever you are in Europe, ask your bank or financial advisor how you can make your money work for you and in the fight against global poverty. If you prefer to donate directly then many European countries will give tax breaks on charitable donations.
Če imate denar, ki ga želite vložiti, ne glede na to, kje v Evropi živite, povprašajte svojega bančnega ali finančnega svetovalca, kako bi lahko svoj denar čim bolj izkoristili in pomagali v boju proti revščini.
If you are put off the notion of donating because you feel that you can’t really be sure where your money is going, then there are many schemes that involve sponsoring a specific child.
Če želite raje darovati denar neposredno, številne evropske države omogočajo davčne olajšave za dobrodelne donacije.
There is no shortage of worthy causes. Look out for charities contributing to the livelihoods of family farmers through sustainable agriculture in countries as far afield as Laos and Nicaragua.
Če vam zamisel o donacijah ne diši, ker menite, da ne morete biti zares prepričani, kam bo šel vaš denar, potem obstaja veliko programov sponzoriranja določenega otroka.
Ring international directory inquiries and ask for a school in a given town within the country concerned.
Donatorji prejemajo redna obvestila o napredovanju otroka, ki ga sponzorirajo, dobijo pa tudi fotografije in pisma.
Perhaps your child could involve their friends or put the matter to their teachers to involve a whole class.
Mogoče bi lahko vaš otrok vključil svoje prijatelje ali predstavil zamisel svojim učiteljem, ki bi v to vključili ves razred.
A potentially lifelong friendship at best and a formative experience at least is just a phone call away.
Možnost doživljenjskega prijateljstva v najboljšem primeru ali vsaj pomembna izkušnja je samo en telefonski klic stran.
Let’s close the gap.
Zapolnimo vrzel.
Alternatively, as a one-off, if you find you simply cannot think of what you would like for your next birthday or for Christmas, how about asking for a set of beehives or a goat?
Še en predlog: če se nikakor ne morete odločiti, kaj bi želeli za svoj naslednji rojstni d analiza Božič – kaj, če bi si zaželeli nekaj panjev ali kozo?
They won’t arrive on your doorstep!
Tega vam ne bodo pripeljali na prag!
Some charity schemes give you the chance to buy livestock for families in developing countries.
Nekateri dobrodelni programi namreč nudijo možnost, da družinam v državah v razvoju pomagate kupiti živino.
“The trees and beesyou gave us have changed our land, air and soil.
Dreves a in čebele, ki ste nam jih dali, so spremenili naša tla, zrak in prst.
Our whole life has changed!
Spremenilo se je naše življenje!
Turning the dream into reality
Uresničitev sanj
The EU is aiming at sustainable economic growth, with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion, but in such away that protects the world around us for future generations.
Cilj EU je trajnostna gospodarska rast z večjim številom in boljšo kakovostjo delovnih mest ter večjo socialno kohezijo, vendar na način, ki bo svet okoli nas varoval za prihodnje generacije.
Clamping down on discrimination, protecting natural resources, addressing immigration and global poverty, producing goods in an environmentally friendly way - laws are being passed and programmes developed to make each goal within the EU’s sustainable development strategy possible.
Sprejeti so bili zakoni in programi, ki omogočajo izpolnitev vsakega cilja v okviru strategije trajnostnega razvoja EU – vse od preprečevanja diskriminacije, zaščite naravnih virov, reševanja vprašanja priseljevanja in svetovne revščine, do proizvodnje blaga na okolju prijazen način.
But cutting across the separate areas discussed in this booklet are the four ways used to make the ideals concrete: education, research, communication to motivate people and make programmes run as efficiently as possible, and letting the polluter pay. Changing the way people buy and produce is essential and one way to encourage a move towards more environmentally friendly habits is through tax incentives.
Vendar pa se skozi ta posamezna področja, ki jih obravnava ta brošura, prepletajo štiri možnosti za uresničitev teh idealov: izobraževanje, raziskave, komunikacija za motivacijo ljudi in zagotavljanje čim bolj učinkovitega izvajanja programov in kaznovanje onesnaževalcev.
At the heart of all the policies, programmes and initiatives outlined so far is the realisation that nothing can be done without the help of an educated public.
Bistvenega pomena je tudi spreminjanje načina nakupovanja izdelkov in eden izmed načinov spodbujanja okolju bolj prijaznih navad so davčne spodbude.
Education equips people with the means to deal with these challenges and gives us the skills we need to make Europe’s growth sustainable.
Odraz dejanske cene, ki jo ima izdelek za okolje, bo potrošnikom pomagal pri pravilni izbiri.
When we think of education we tend to think of our school days.
Izobraževanje – izmenjava znanj
But the issue is much larger – it covers knowledge sharing at all levels and across all subjects.
Vendar je to vprašanje veliko širše – zajema izmenjavo znanja na vseh ravneh in na vseh področjih.
Technical knowledge shared to keep us competitive; scientific knowledge to keep us healthy; information technology reaching out into far-flung communities, putting them in touch with people and concepts all over Europe; school children staying in education up to university level; lifelong learning; businesses being educated in environmentally sustainable choices – it all involves sharing knowledge.
Tehnično znanje pomaga, da smo konkurenčni; znanstveno znanje pomaga, da ostanemo zdravi; informacijska tehnologija sega v daleč razširjene skupnosti, ki jih povezuje z ljudmi in zamislimi po vsej Evropi; šolarji se izobražujejo do univerzitetne stopnje; vseživljenjsko učenje; podjetja se učijo o okoljsko trajnostnih izbirah – vse to vključuje izmenjavo znanja.
Sustainability is about using our resources in away that allows future generations to benefit too – this refers not only to natural resources but also to human resources – the people of Europe.
Pri trajnosti gre za uporabo naših virov na način, ki prinaša koristi tudi prihodnjim generacijam – to ne velja samo za naravne vire, temveč tudi za človeške vire – za ljudi v Evropi.
Education is away to reduce inequalities, those that exist between men and women or between minority groups and the other citizens they live with.
Z izobraževanjem se zmanjšujejo neenakosti, tiste med moškimi in ženskami ali med manjšinskimi skupinami in drugimi državljani.
This is a lifelong process – gone are the days when learning and training ended with college graduation.
Gre za vseživljenjski proces – časi, ko se je učenje in usposabljanje končalo pri maturi, so končani.
Now the emphasis is on helping people boost their knowledge and skills throughout their lives.
Danes je poudarek na tem, da je treba ljudem pomagati širiti znanje in izkušnje skozi vse življenje.
What’s being done?
Dejavnosti na tem področju
In February 2001, the EU launched Education and Training 2010.
Februarja 2001 je EU predstavila program Izobraževanje in usposabljanje 2010.
Ministers of education throughout the EU decided on three, concrete objectives to ensure the development of the skilled workforce upon which our future depends.
Ministri za šolstvo iz vse Evrope so sprejeli tri konkretne cilje za zagotovitev razvoja usposobljene delovne sile, od katere je odvisna naša prihodnost.
The elements are: opening up education and training to the wider world – meaning both the world of work and the world beyond the EU; increasing the quality of our education systems, and making access to education easier.
Ti elementi so: odpiranje izobraževanja in usposabljanja širšemu svetu – tako svetu dela kot svetu izven EU; izboljšanje kakovosti naših sistemov izobraževanja in lažji dostop do izobrazbe.
All three ambitions involve a range of measures.
Vsi trije cilji vključujejo niz ukrepov.
Opening up education to the wider world, for example, highlights the importance of language learning and seeks to strengthen the links with working life and research.
Odpiranje izobraževanja širšemu svetu, na primer, poudarja pomembnost učenja jezikov in išče načine za okrepev povezave med delovnim življenjem in raziskavami.
©Corbis qualification to another?”, “Do all paths enable the learner to go forward or are they pushing them to opt out?”
Ali vse poti omogočajo učencu, da napreduje, ali pa ga silijo, da opusti šolanje?“.
It also underlines that education is in the hands of society and should help to build the society we want.
Poudarja tudi dejstvo, da je izobrazba v rokah družbe in bi nam morala pomagati zgraditi družbo, kakršno si želimo.
The challenge that faces each and everyone of us is how to make sure that our European way of life, with its values and standard of living, remains secure in the face of competition without exploiting and ruining the world around us.
Izziv, s katerim se sooča vsak izmed nas, je, kako spričo konkurence zagotoviti ohranitev evropskega načina življenja z njegovimi vrednotami in življenjskim standardom, ne da bi izrabili in uničili svet okoli nas.
While we all have a role to play, some problems need to be solved scientifically – alternative energy sources, ways to feed the world’s population, establishing access to clean water for all, ways of improving communication – the realisation of these goals, and many others, rests in the hands of our scientific community.
Medtem ko igra v tem vsak izmed nas svojo vlogo, je treba nekatere probleme reševati z znanstvenega vidika – alternativni viri energije, način, kako nahraniti svetovno prebivalstvo, vzpostavitev dostopa do čiste vode za vse, izboljšanje komunikacije – izpolnitev teh ciljev in še številnih drugih je v rokah znanstvene skupnosti.
While scientists look for solutions to the fundamental problem of how to find sources of clean, renewable energy and while Europe faces the challenges of globalisation, migration, unemployment and an ageing population, the EU is harnessing all means possible to secure our futures.
Medtem ko iščejo znanstveniki rešitve temeljnega problema iskanja virov čiste, obnovljive energije in ko se Evropa sooča z izzivi globalizacije, preseljevanja, brezposelnosti in starajočega se prebivalstva, EU izkorišča vsa možna sredstva, da bi zavarovala našo prihodnost.
50bn for research and development has been set aside under the Seventh Framework Programme.
V okviru 7. okvirnega programa je za raziskave in razvoj namenjenih 50 milijard EUR.
This will run until 2013 and aims to:
Okvirni program se bo izvajal do leta 2013, njegovi cilji pa so: pridobiti vodilno vlogo na glavnih znanstvenih in tehnoloških področjih; spodbujati ustvarjalnost in odličnost v evropskih raziskavah; razviti in okrepiti človeški potencialna področju evropskih raziskav; okrepiti raziskovalno in inovativno zmogljivost po vsej Evropi.
Communicating results and networking between scientists is also a focal point and the development of a European Research Area is underway to make sure ideas and results are shared effectively throughout the EU.
Osrednjo točko predstavlja tudi sporočanje rezultatov in povezovanje znanstvenikov v mreže, v teku pa je razvoj Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora, ki bo zagotovil učinkovito izmenjavo zamisli in rezultatov po vsej EU.
Scientists need to be able to move around the Union freely, having access to the very best communications networks.
Znanstveniki morajo imeti možnost prostega gibanja po Uniji in dostop do najboljših komunikacijskih mrež.
To help them push back the boundaries of knowledge, research institutions will be set up, exploiting partnerships between public and private sectors.
Da bi jim pomagali razširiti meje znanja, bodo ustanovljene raziskovalne institucije, ki bodo izkoristile partnerstva med javnim in zasebnim sektorjem.
Using the economy to bring about change
Z gospodarstvom do sprememb
Inducing people to buy products that are made responsibly and spend less on production that is environmentally harmful can be done through green taxes.
Z zelenimi davki je mogoče ljudi spodbuditi k nakupu odgovorno izdelanih izdelkov, katerih izdelava je manj škodljiva za okolje.
This is one way of using the economy to bring about change.
To je samo en način, kako je mogoče z gospodarstvom spodbuditi spremembe.
As things stand now, when we buy something, the price fails to reflect the real cost in terms of environmental damage.
Trenutno cena ne odraža dejanske cene v smislu škode, povzročene okolju.
But the market can be used to work for the environment.
Vendar pa lahko trg dela za okolje.
Using market forces to boost sustainable development is a keystone of the strategy.
Temelj te strategije je uporaba tržnih sil za spodbujanje trajnostnega razvoja.
But public funding has its role to play too and it is a stated aim of the strategy that all money coming out of the EU should be channelled in the best way to promote sustainable development.
Vendar pa ima svojo vlogo pri tem tudi javno financiranje, zato je cilj strategije, da se ves denar iz EU na najboljši način usmeri v spodbujanje trajnostnega razvoja.
A gradual shift away from taxes on labour towards taxes on pollution, energy and resources can boost employment, eco-innovation and protect the environment.
Postopno odmikanje od obdavčitve dela proti obdavčitvi onesnaževanja, energije in virov lahko spodbudi zaposlovanje, ekološke inovacije in zaščiti okolje.
Getting prices right – so that what we pay reflects the real social, environmental and economic cost it takes to produce the object or provide the service – is away to smart economic growth.
Način pametne gospodarske rasti je pravilno oblikovanje cen – tako da tisto, kar plačamo, odraža dejanski družbeni, okoljski in gospodarski strošek, nastal pri proizvodnji izdelka ali za izvedeno storitev.
The EU is thinking creatively and working with national governments to develop ‘green taxes’.
EU razmišlja ustvarjalno in sodeluje z nacionalnimi vladami pri razvoju „zelenih davkov“.
Just as the emphasis for agricultural funding has shifted from production to stewardship, where farmers receive funding for taking care of the land they control, so too can the burden of taxation shift from labour to consumption.
Enako kot se je poudarek za financiranje kmetijstva premaknil s proizvodnje na upravljanje, kjer kmetovalci prejemajo sredstva za skrb za zemljo, ki jo nadzorujejo, se lahko davčna obremenitev premakne z dela na porabo.
Under the New Directive on Energy Taxation, countries in the EU have the right to offer companies special tax breaks in return for lowered emissions of damaging pollution and gasses.
V okviru nove Direktive o obdavčitvi energije imajo države EU pravico, da podjetjem ponudijo posebne davčne olajšave v zameno za manjše emisije uničujočega onesnaževanja in plinov.
It also taxes energy sources such as electricity and fuels such as coal.
Obdavčeni so tudi viri energije, kot je elektrika, ter goriva, kot je premog.
This makes the user focus on efficiency – consuming less in order to keep their tax bills down.
S tem se uporabnik osredotoči na učinkovitost – porabi manj, da bi bil njegov davek manjši.
Companies that have invested in their efficient use of energy can get some of these taxes refunded, adding a further incentive.
Podjetja, ki so investirala v učinkovito porabo energije, lahko prejmejo povračilo nekaterih izmed teh davkov, kar je še dodatna spodbuda.
Making the polluter pay works on two levels.
Ugodnosti tega koncepta se kažejo na dveh ravneh.
Wasteful or environmentally damaging behaviour is penalised so people are encouraged to look for alternatives and, while they do so, the pollution they produce earns the exchequer money.
Potratno in okolju škodljivo vedenje se kaznuje, ljudi pa se tako spodbudi, da poiščejo druge možnosti, medtem pa za onesnaženje, ki ga ustvarijo prispevajo v državno blagajno.
This revenue can then be ploughed back into research or used to fund projects.
Ta prihodek se lahko nameni za raziskave ali uporabi za projekte financiranja.
Throughout the Union, countries are applying the idea of taxing pollution in a variety of ways: Denmark and Finland tax tyres, Denmark, Iceland and Italy tax plastic bags, France taxes paper and cardboard.
Države v vsej Uniji izvajajo zamisel o obdavčitvi onesnaževanja na več različnih načinov: Danska in Finska obdavčujeta gume, Danska, Islandija in Italija obdavčujejo plastične vrečke, Francija obdavčuje papir in karton.
While countries find ways to both limit pollution and raise revenue from it at the same time, business and organisations are also working towards sustainable practices.
Medtem ko države iščejo načine, kako omejiti onesnaževanje in iz njega hkrati ustvariti prihodek, si podjetja in organizacije prav tako prizadevajo za trajnostne prakse.
Here the notions of ‘polluter pays’ is taking off as companies come under the influence of consumer pressure and legislation to become greener.
Tukaj se zamisel „onesnaževalec plača“ zelo uveljavlja, saj na podjetja vplivajo pritiski potrošnikov, zakonodaja pa postaja čedalje bolj zelena.
Some are leading the way, voluntarily changing the way they conduct their business.
Nekateri so prevzeli vodilno vlogo in prostovoljno spreminjajo način svojega poslovanja.
Paying for the emissions they cause is growing in importance for the business community.
Plačevanje za povzročene emisije je v poslovni skupnosti čedalje pomembnejše.
Phrases like ‘carbon off-sets’ or ‘carbon-trading schemes’ sometimes crop up, and will do so more frequently in the future.
Izrazi kot so „uravnoteženje ogljika“ ali „programi trgovanja z ogljikom“ včasih obrodijo sadove, v prihodnosti pa jih bodo obrodili čedalje pogosteje.
