Our descendants own the future, but the decisions and actions we make now will tremendously impact generations to come, says philosopher Roman Krznaric. From a global campaign to grant legal personhood to nature to a groundbreaking lawsuit by a coalition of young activists, Krznaric shares examples of ways we can become good ancestors -- or, as he calls them, "Time Rebels" -- and join a movement redefining lifespans, pursuing intergenerational justice and practicing deep love for the planet.
This talk was part of the Countdown Global Launch on 10.10.2020. (Watch the full event here: • [Replay] Watch the Cou... .) Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at countdown.ted.com/sign-up

This is one the best TED talks of all time. Many people wont fully understand how vitally important this message is.
“Take care of the place that takes care of their offspring”
That must be the most 'valuable' book collection in existence A Library of Alexandria in the making. I'm in awe.
Let's hope it doesn't ends like the last one.
I pray that whoever reads this is successful in life...
Thanks
You too
You’re welcome

Likewise
Being a great ancestor means, we need to build the good for our future generations... What can me do? Let's watch it until the end. And I wish you a wonderful day, my friends. Stay blessed and amazing.
We need to work on decolonizing our minds, bodies and spirits.
i read a quote recently, i think it was a comment on another Ted video on climate change, it said "we dont inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children", and i think that is the sentence that could/should fuel action
My future generation: Well, my ancestor plays Tiktok, dances silly moves and plays too much computer games.
LOL
I love you, Roman Krznaric.
"Greatness is often built when no one is watching"
Brilliant talk. Visionary ethical and inspirational.
I strongly suggest we act now ✔️💝✔️
awesome!
Awesome
My ancestry ends with me
@phone account yes I will be an ancestor to nobody
@phone account the world is trash
I will likely also not have kids. Mostly because I don't want to bring someone into a world that will likely be worse than the one I am now in.
But even we who don't want to have kids can still recognize that no matter what we do, we will leave a legacy, whether it's known it was us or not. And I want my legacy to be a good one
@@nunyabizniss570 of course we will likely have some sort of impact on the world despite not having offspring. my legacy will be my art. my art is my offspring.
Nope we must act all together
I think this is a great concept but it needs to extend to all of politics, not just environmental issues.
I'm the best ancestor. There aren't going to be any further generations for you lot to harm.
Thats actually the worst ancestor
Same plus less people means less waste
@@pw3229 Too many people = doom
Stop creating more humans we don't need that pollute the earth.
@@HikaruYamamoto It is a good sentiment, the problem is the places contributing most to global overpopulation (and most likely to have food shortage problems) don't seem to be particularly alarmed by the issue.
It's something we haven't done a very good job of educating the world about I'm afraid.
@@aeriumfour6096 Because breeders don't care. All we can do is let all the rest of the people know that they don't have to have kids. In fact most people are happier without having them.
People just keep popping out kids and hoping they fix things when their kids just keep doing the same thing and things never get fixed.

Actually, things would have changed, except for entrenched power structures. The Koch Brothers and Reagan administration killed the climate movement. But yes, people also do irresponsibly keep producing in a world that already is unsustainable due to over consumption due to animal agriculture, fossil fuel, uninhibited corporate exploitation, and still growing birth rate.
All of those things multiply each other, in case anyone tries to say "oVeRpOpULaTion Is A mYtH"
Keep going
Nice :)
Wow! 🤟🤩👍 That was surprisingly powerful and absolutely the type of information and philosophy more people need to be exposed to! Knowledge is a great equalizer and if we don’t remember that we all have a responsibility to ourselves, as well as to one another, to pursue life’s meaningful experiences to the best of our abilities, not missing out on the collective experiences that are a part of what gives us our humanity!
TED IS AWESOME!
Vote! :)
My grandchildren : what is this blocky game grandpa? Plz tell us
Symbiotic harmony with ones environment both internally and externally can yield unexpected value, understanding and ability
Planting only a single species of tree can sometimes be harmful to their ecosystem, even if it's better for the atmosphere.
Watch the Golden One if you want to learn how to be highly glorious and please your ancestors
Get Orf yur Hi Horse!
Species don't learn, they adapt.
All of this reeks of rule by utopia. Which in the hands of fanatics, is a very bad idea.
How many 18-21 years old that you know make smart and sensible long term life decisions?
How many older people do? 😂
Good ancestors have the wisdom to accept that they probably won't solve the world's greatest challenges in their lifetime
Yeah but they should at least give it a good go. People in the future will think we're complete lazy arseholes if we don't at least start sorting out climate change, plastic pollution and phosphate fertiliser deficiency.
If not you in your lifetime, then when? It’s a cop out to just shrug and say won’t change in my lifetime. Be the change you want to see.
Good ancestors are not concerned about themselves. The concern shouldn't be about self, but the children.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism You have cool ancestors bro
Yuhuuu
Hey nico it's roman, wanna go bowling?

oyes
every year a famous writer donates a book which will remain completely unread until 2114 when the whole collection will be printed on paper made from a forest of trees planted for this very purpose???
Nobody
Ted talks: how to be a good ancestor
I am not nobody. ;)
The 1% who see's this comment i pray you become successful in life👊.
I am not a bot, I am on disability cant get a job, broke my back in a car accident,started a channel as a means of little survival hope it does well, please no hate
You could have done some better things instead of writing this comment
Second Life can help too, some people are able to make a living just making stuff and selling it there.
Don't have kids
More than a philosopher, he seems to me to be a kind of a salesperson. I have never seen Peter Singer, also from Australia, or Bertrand Russell etc in such an outfit. I would find him more credible if he covered his chest well, no need to show the world. Apparently, he is very proud of his chest, but a respectful philosopher does not present himself in front of the world in such an outfit. I have seen other pictures of him in other media and I confirm this opinion: he presents himself with a partial bare chest, which has less to do with Philosophy than with self-marketing and image.
Stay dead. Don't become a ghost or zombie.
i was here before 1k views yey

Rich countries can think about future Because they already devasted nature and cultures in many areas....

Why should I destroy the present for a future that I will not live?
Be responsible, use condoms if you cant just go away. ^_^
Allowing your children to vote for their future on their parents or caretaker's ballot is a good idea.
I have more importent things to worry about..
What gender am i?
Whats the latest iphone?
Whats the latest video game machine?
What r the latest happy pills?
How do i come off as non threatening?
Notice what your worries all have in common?..............They're all about you.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism
I was being sarcastic
Oi get off your high horse so the peasants may eat this winter!
Most of the people that grew up in socialist countries say that it is horrible, why are you too blind to see it?
a white person talks about being a good ancestor lmao
