Himalajska regija Hindu Kush je treća po redu najveća ledena masa Zemlje, nakon Sjevernog i Južnog pola, te ako se stopa otapanja leda nastavi, dvije trećine ledenjaka će nestati do kraja stoljeća. Što će se desiti ako to dopustimo? Borac za očuvanje okoliša i bivši premijer Butana, Tshering Tobgay, iznosi stanje "vodenih tornjeva Azije" te upućuje hitni poziv za osnivanje međuvladine agencije za zaštitu ledenjaka i spašavanje oko dvije milijarde ljudi kojima prijete poplave koje bi uništile zemlju i naselja.

učinio je nešto neobično.

He literally took his ministers
scuba diving, as it were,

Odveo je svoje ministre roneći,
00:36
to warn the world
that his country could drown

kako bi upozorio svijet da bi
njegova zemlja mogla biti potopljena

unless we control global warming.

ako ne počnemo kontrolirati
globalno zatopljenje.

00:43
Now I don't know whether he got
his message across to the world or not,

Ne znam je li njegova poruka
obišla svijet ili nije,
obišla svijet ili nije,
00:47
but he certainly caught mine.
7
35170
1759
ali je definitivno stigla do mene.
00:49
I saw a political stunt.
8
37908
1960
Vidio sam taj politički pothvat.
00:52
You see, I'm a politician,
9
40901
1676
I sȃm sam političar
00:54
and I notice these things.
10
42601
1919
te primjećujem ovakve vijesti.
00:57
And let's be honest,
11
45108
1643
Iskreno,
00:58
the Maldives are distant
from where I come from --
from where I come from --
12
46775
3975
Maldivi su daleko od mjesta gdje živim,
01:02
my country is Bhutan --
13
50774
1719
živim u Butanu,
01:04
so I didn't lose any sleep
over their impending fate.

14
52517
3741
tako da mi vijest o sudbini
Maldiva nije poremetila san.

01:09
Barely two months later,
I saw another political stunt.

Dva mjeseca poslije,
vidio sam drugi politički pothvat.

01:14
This time, the prime minister of Nepal,
16

Ovaj put je premijer Nepala
01:18
he held his cabinet meeting
on Mount Everest.

01:23
He took all his ministers all the way up

01:28
to warn the world
19
76452
1942
kako bi upozorio svijet
01:30
that the Himalayan glaciers were melting.
20
78418
1961
da se ledenjaci na Himalaji otapaju.
01:33
Now did that worry me?
21
81170
1699
Je li me to zabrinulo?
01:34
You bet it did.
22
82893
1246
Bogme jeste.
01:36
I live in the Himalayas.
23

Živim na Himalaji.
01:39
But did I lose any sleep over his message?
24
87598
2532
Jesam li imao besane noći zbog ove poruke?
01:43
No.
25

Ne.
01:44
I wasn't ready to let a political stunt
interfere with my beauty sleep.

Nisam htio dopustiti da mi

(Smijeh)
01:52
Now fast-forward 10 years.
28
100746
1682
Deset godina kasnije,
01:55
In February this year,
29
103865
2521
u veljači ove godine,
01:58
I saw this report.
30
106410
2280
vidio sam ovo izvješće.
02:02
This here report basically concludes
31
110163
3991
To izvješće je pokazalo
02:06
that one-third of the ice
on the Hindu Kush Himalaya mountains
on the Hindu Kush Himalaya mountains
32
114178
6154
da bi se jedna trećina leda
planine Hindu Kush na Himalaji
planine Hindu Kush na Himalaji
02:12
could melt by the end of the century.
33
120356
2113
mogla otopiti do kraja stoljeća,
02:15
But that's only if,
34
123085
2295
ali jedino ako
02:17
if we are able to contain global warming
35
125404
3207
uspijemo zadržati globalno zatopljenje
02:20
to 1.5 degrees centigrade
over preindustrial levels.

36
128635
4281
na 1,5 stupanj Celzija
iznad predindustrijske razine.
iznad predindustrijske razine.
02:24
Otherwise, if we can't,
37
132940
2870
Ako to ne uspijemo,
02:27
the glaciers would melt much faster.
38
135834
1983
ledenjaci će se topiti puno brže.
02:32
1.5 degrees Celsius. "No way," I thought.
39
140766
3383
1,5 stupnjeva Celzija.
"Nema šanse", pomislio sam.
"Nema šanse", pomislio sam.
02:36
Even the Paris Agreement's

Čak i Pariški sporazum
02:39

1.5 degrees centigrade is what they call
the best-case scenario.

1,5 stupnjeva Celzija je
najbolji mogući scenarij.
najbolji mogući scenarij.
02:49
"Now this can't be true," I thought.
43
157435
2049
"Ovo ne može biti istina", pomislio sam.
02:51
The Hindu Kush Himalaya region
44
159508
2154
Regija Himalaje Hindu Kush
02:53
is the world's third-largest
repository of ice,
repository of ice,
45
161686
3826
treća je na svijetu po količini leda,
02:57
after the North and South Poles.
46
165536
1650
nakon Sjevernog i Južnog pola.
02:59
That's why we are also called
the "Third Pole."
the "Third Pole."
47
167210
2571
Zato je još zovemo i "Treći pol".
03:02
There's a lot of ice in the region.
48
170361
2166
Regija je puna leda
03:05
And yes, the glaciers, they are melting.
49
173377
2483
i ti ledenjaci se tope.
03:08
We know that.
50
176380
1155
To znamo.
03:10
I have been to those in my country.
51
178253
1839
Obišao sam ledenjake u svojoj državi.
03:12
I've seen them, and yes, they are melting.
52
180116
2101
Vidio sam ih, i da, tope se.
03:14
They are vulnerable.
53
182241
1557
Sve su slabiji.
03:15
"But they can't be that vulnerable,"
I remember thinking.
I remember thinking.
54
183822
2912
"Ali ne mogu biti tako slabi",
pomislio sam.
pomislio sam.
03:21
But what if they are?
55
189275
1499
Ali što ako jesu?
03:23
What if our glaciers melt
much more quickly than I anticipate?
much more quickly than I anticipate?
56
191739
3936
Što ako se naši ledenjaci tope
puno brže nego što pretpostavljamo?
puno brže nego što pretpostavljamo?
03:28
What if our glaciers are much more
vulnerable than previously thought?
vulnerable than previously thought?
57
196320
4624
Što ako su naši ledenjaci puno slabiji
nego što smo prethodno mislili?
nego što smo prethodno mislili?
03:32
And what if, as a result,
the glacial lakes --
the glacial lakes --
58
200968
3471
I što ako ledenjačka jezera,
03:36
now these are lakes
that form when glaciers melt --
that form when glaciers melt --
59
204463
2905
jezera koja nastaju otapanjem ledenjaka,
03:39
what if those lakes burst
under the weight of additional water?
under the weight of additional water?
60
207392
3841
što ako jezera preplave zbog
sve dodatne vode?
sve dodatne vode?
03:44
And what if those floods
cascade into other glacial lakes,
cascade into other glacial lakes,
61
212585
2769
I što ako te poplave dođu
do drugih ledenjačkih jezera,
do drugih ledenjačkih jezera,
03:47
creating even bigger outbursts?
62
215378
2103
praveći još veće poplave?
03:50
That would create unprecedented
flash floods in my country.
flash floods in my country.
63
218452
3775
To bi stvorilo nezamislive
poplave u mojoj državi.
poplave u mojoj državi.
03:55
That would wreck my country.
64
223113
2158
To bi naštetilo mojoj državi.
03:58
That would wreak havoc in my country.
65
226302
2612
To bi dosta naštetilo mojoj državi.
04:00
That would have the potential
to literally destroy our land,
to literally destroy our land,
66
228938
3540
To bi potencijalno uništilo našu zemlju,
04:04
our livelihood, our way of life.
67
232502
2507
naša naselja, naš način života.
04:10
So that report caught my attention
68
238491
3880
To izvješće me zaokupilo
04:14
in ways that political stunts couldn't.
69
242395
3340
na način na koji
politički pothvati nisu uspjeli.
politički pothvati nisu uspjeli.
04:17
It was put together
70
245759
1189
Izvješće je izdao
04:18
by the International Centre for Integrated
Mountain Development, or ICIMOD,

04:23
which is based in Nepal.
72
251561
1285
sa središtem u Nepalu.
04:25
Scientists and experts have studied
our glaciers for decades,
our glaciers for decades,
73
253600
4715
Znanstvenici i stručnjaci su proučavali
ledenjake desetljećima,
ledenjake desetljećima,
04:30
and their report kept me awake at night,
agonizing about the bad news
agonizing about the bad news
74
258339
4721
i to izvješće me držalo noću budnim,
razmišljajući o lošim vijestima
razmišljajući o lošim vijestima
04:35
and what it meant for my country
75
263084
2311
i što to znači za moju državu
04:37
and my people.
76
265419
1150
i moje ljude.
04:39
So after several sleepless nights,
77
267750
2223
Nakon nekoliko neprospavanih noći,
04:41
I went to Nepal to visit ICIMOD.
78
269997
3173
otišao sam u Nepal posjetiti ICIMOD.
04:46
I found a team of highly competent
and dedicated scientists there,
and dedicated scientists there,
79
274892
4404
Našao sam tim sposobnih
znanstvenika posvećenih poslu,
znanstvenika posvećenih poslu,
04:51
and here's what they told me.
80
279320
1619
i rekli su mi ovo.
04:53
Number one:
81
281828
1150
Prvo:
04:55
the Hindu Kush Himalaya glaciers
have been melting for some time now.
have been melting for some time now.
82
283706
4270
ledenjaci regije Hindu Kush
se otapaju već neko vrijeme.
se otapaju već neko vrijeme.
05:01
Take that glacier, for instance.
83
289716
3014
Na primjer, ovaj ledenjak.
05:05
It's on Mount Everest.
84
293278
1818
On je dio Mount Everesta.
05:07
As you can see, this once massive glacier
has already lost much of its ice.
has already lost much of its ice.
85
295120
5484
Kao što vidite, ovaj masivni ledenjak
već je izgubio dosta mase.
već je izgubio dosta mase.
05:14
Number two:
86
302029
1509
Drugo:
05:15
the glaciers are now melting
much more quickly --
much more quickly --
87
303562
2350
ledenjaci se sad tope puno brže,
05:17
so quickly, in fact, that at just
1.5 degrees centigrade of global warming,
1.5 degrees centigrade of global warming,
88
305936
6249
toliko brzo da će i globalno zatopljenje
od 1,5 stupnjeva Celzija
od 1,5 stupnjeva Celzija
05:24
one-third of the glaciers would melt.
89
312209
2682
otopiti trećinu ledenjaka.
05:28
At two degrees centigrade
of global warming,
of global warming,
90
316084
3221
Dva stupnja Celzija globalnog zatopljenja,
05:31
half the glaciers would disappear.
91
319329
2462
i pola ledenjaka će nestati.
05:33
And if current trends were to continue,
92
321815
3126
I ako se sadašnje stanje nastavi,
05:36
a full two-thirds
of our glaciers would vanish.
of our glaciers would vanish.
93
324965
3469
dvije trećine ledenjaka će nestati.
05:42
Number three:
94
330339
1150
Treće:
05:44
global warming means that our mountains
receive more rain and less snow ...
receive more rain and less snow ...
95
332295
5174
globalno zatopljenje znači da će
u planinama biti više kiše a manje snijega,
u planinama biti više kiše a manje snijega,
05:50
and, unlike snowfall, rain melts ice,
96
338779
3702
i, dok snijeg ne topi, kiša topi led,
05:54
which just hurts
the health of our glaciers.
the health of our glaciers.
97
342505
2777
što će oslabiti naše ledenjake.
05:58
Number four:
98
346397
1150
Četvrto:
06:01
pollution in the region has increased
the amount of black carbon
the amount of black carbon
99
349457
3001
zagađenje regije
je povećalo razinu ugljika
je povećalo razinu ugljika
06:04
that's deposited on our glaciers.
100
352482
2160
koji se zadržava u našim ledenjacima.
06:06
Black carbon is like soot.
101
354666
1355
Ugljik je poput pepela.
06:08
Black carbon absorbs heat
102
356045
2301
Upija toplinu
06:10
and just accelerates
the melting of glaciers.
the melting of glaciers.
103
358370
2404
te ubrzava otapanje ledenjaka.
06:14
To summarize,
104
362243
1150
Ukratko,
06:16
our glaciers are melting rapidly,
105
364344
2248
naši ledenjaci se otapaju brzo,
06:19
and global warming is making them
melt much more quickly.
melt much more quickly.
106
367775
3476
a globalno zatopljenje ih otapa puno brže.
06:25
But what does this mean?
107
373036
1326
Što to znači?
06:27
It means that the 240 million people
108
375539
4771
To znači da preko 240 milijuna ljudi
06:32
who live in the Hindu Kush
Himalaya region --
Himalaya region --
109
380334
2509
koji žive u regiji Hindu Kush,
06:34
in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India,
China, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar
China, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar
110
382867
5252
u Afganistanu, Pakistanu, Indiji, Kini,
Nepalu, Bangladešu, Burmi
Nepalu, Bangladešu, Burmi
06:40
and my own beloved country, Bhutan --
111
388143
2626
i u mojoj državi, Butanu,
06:42
these people will be directly affected.
112
390793
2166
ovi ljudi će biti izravno zahvaćeni.
06:46
When glaciers melt,
113
394932
1943
Kad se ledenjaci otope,
06:48
when there's more rain and less snow,
114
396899
1917
kada je više kiše a manje snijega,
06:50
there will be huge changes
in the way water behaves.
in the way water behaves.
115
398840
4277
doći će do promjene u kruženju vode.
06:55
There will be more extremes:
116
403681
1756
Bit će više ekstrema:
06:58
more intense rain,
more flash floods, more landslides,
more flash floods, more landslides,
117
406800
3166
intenzivnije kiše,
više poplava, više klizišta,
više poplava, više klizišta,
07:01
more glacial lake outburst floods.
118
409990
2938
više preplavljanja ledenjačkih jezera.
07:04
All this will cause
unimaginable destruction
unimaginable destruction
119
412952
4412
Sve to će dovesti do
nezamislivih razaranja
nezamislivih razaranja
07:09
in a region that already has
some of the poorest people on earth.
some of the poorest people on earth.
120
417388
4571
u regiji gdje već žive jedni
od najsiromašnijih ljudi na Zemlji.

07:15
But it's not just the people
in the immediate region
in the immediate region
121
423971
2826
Ali neće biti zahvaćeni samo ljudi
07:18
who'll be affected.
122
426821
1289
koji žive u ovoj regiji.
07:20
People living downstream
will also be hit hard.
will also be hit hard.
123
428134
3471
Ljudi koji žive nizvodno će
također biti zahvaćeni.
također biti zahvaćeni.
07:25
That's because 10 of their major rivers
124

To je stoga što deset

to more than 1.6 billion people
living downstream.
living downstream.
128
448066
5004
za više od 1,6 milijarde ljudi
koji žive nizvodno.
koji žive nizvodno.
07:45
That's one in five humans.
129
453094
2484
To je svaki peti čovjek.
07:49
That's why the Hindu Kush
Himalaya mountains
Himalaya mountains
130
457149
2105
Zato se Hindu Kush regija Himalaje
07:51
are also called
the "water towers of Asia."
the "water towers of Asia."
131
459278
2435
naziva i "Vodeni toranj Azije".
07:55
But when glaciers melt,
132
463815
1404
Ali kad se ledenjaci otope,
07:58
when monsoons turn severe,
133
466213
1617
kad monsuni postanu žešći,
07:59
those rivers will obviously flood,
134
467854
2754
rijeke će preplaviti,
08:03
so there will be deluges
when water is not required
when water is not required
135
471432
2969
dovest će do potopa kada
voda nije potrebna,
voda nije potrebna,
08:06
and droughts will be very common,
136
474425
2731
a razdoblja suše će biti česta
08:09
when water is desperately required.
137
477180
1943
kada je ta voda nužno potrebna.
08:11
In short, Asia's water tower
will be broken,
will be broken,
138
479147
5795
Ukratko, Vodeni toranj Azije će pasti
08:16
and that will be disastrous
for one-fifth of humanity.
for one-fifth of humanity.
139
484966
6071
i to će biti katastrofa za
svakog petog čovjeka.
svakog petog čovjeka.
08:26
Should the rest of the world care?
140
494765
1642
Treba li ostatak svijeta brinuti?
08:29
Should you, for instance, care?
141
497899
2151
Trebate li se vi brinuti?
08:32
Remember, I didn't care
when I heard that the Maldives
when I heard that the Maldives
142
500472
3173
Sjetite se, ja nisam brinuo kad
sam čuo da bi Maldivi
sam čuo da bi Maldivi
08:35
could disappear underwater.
143
503669
1851
mogli nestati pod vodom.
08:37
And that is the crux
of the problem, isn't it?
of the problem, isn't it?
144
505544
3126
I to je srž problema, zar ne?
08:40
We don't care.
145
508694
1579
Ne brinemo.
08:44
We don't care until
we are personally affected.
we are personally affected.
146
512428
2615
Ne brinemo dok to nije
naš osobni problem.
naš osobni problem.
08:47
I mean, we know.
We know climate change is real.
We know climate change is real.
147
515729
2691
Mi znamo da je promjena klime svarna.
08:50
We know that we face
drastic and dramatic change.
drastic and dramatic change.
148
518444
2568
Znamo da se suočavamo
s drastičnim promjenama.
s drastičnim promjenama.
08:53
We know that it is coming fast.
149
521036
1490
Znamo da nas to uskoro očekuje.
08:54
Yet most of us
150
522550
1809
Ipak, većina nas
08:57
act as if everything were normal.
151
525662
3285
se ponaša kao da je sve normalno.
09:02
So we must care,
152
530359
1365
Moramo se brinuti,
09:04
all of us,
153
532726
1582
svi mi,
09:06
and if you can't care for those who are
affected by the melting of glaciers,
affected by the melting of glaciers,
154
534332
4714
i ako ne možete brinuti za one koje
topljenje ledenjaka zahvaća,
topljenje ledenjaka zahvaća,
09:11
you should at least care for yourself.
155
539070
1963
brinite se barem za sebe.
09:14
That's because the Hindu Kush
Himalaya mountains --
Himalaya mountains --
156
542193
3073
To je zbog toga što je
Hindu Kush regija Himalaje
Hindu Kush regija Himalaje
09:17
the entire region
is like the pulse of the planet.
is like the pulse of the planet.
157
545290
3451
poput pulsa planeta.
09:22
If the region falls sick,
158
550819
2372
Ako je regija bolesna,
09:25
the entire planet will eventually suffer.
159
553215
2745
cijeli planet će s vremenom patiti.
09:29
And right now,
160
557164
1150
A trenutno,
09:30
with our glaciers melting rapidly,
161
558970
2676
kako se ledenjaci brzo tope,
09:33
the region is not just sick --
162
561670
1841
regija nije samo oboljela,
09:35
it is crying out for help.
163
563535
1826
nego vapi za pomoći.
09:39
And how will it affect
the rest of the world?
the rest of the world?
164
567810
2444
Kako će to utjecati na ostatak svijeta?
09:42
One obvious scenario
is the potential destabilization
is the potential destabilization
165
570278
4386
Očigledni scenarij je
potencijalna nestabilnost
potencijalna nestabilnost
09:46
caused by tens of millions
of climate refugees,
of climate refugees,
166
574688
3874
uzrokovana desecima milijuna
klimatskih izbjeglica
klimatskih izbjeglica
09:50
who'll be forced to move
because they have no or little water,
because they have no or little water,
167
578586
3177
koji će se morati iseliti
zbog manjka vode,
zbog manjka vode,
09:53
or because their livelihoods
have been destroyed
have been destroyed
168
581787
2961
ili jer su njihova naselja uništena
09:56
by the melting of glaciers.
169
584772
1703
otapanjem ledenjaka.
09:59
Another scenario we can't take lightly
170
587391
3725
Drugi scenarij koji je ozbiljniji
10:03
is the potential of conflict over water
171
591140
2926
je potencijalni rat za vodu
10:07
and the political destabilization
in a region that has three nuclear powers:
in a region that has three nuclear powers:
172

i politička nestabilnost u regiji
u kojoj su tri nuklearne sile:

10:14
China, India, Pakistan.
173
602353
4222
Kina, Indija, Pakistan.
10:21
I believe that the situation
in our region is grave enough
in our region is grave enough
174
609175
5264
Vjerujem da je situacija u
našoj regiji dovoljno teška
našoj regiji dovoljno teška
10:26
to warrant the creation
of a new intergovernmental agency.
of a new intergovernmental agency.
175
614463
4617
da dovede do stvaranja
nove međuvladine agencije.
nove međuvladine agencije.
10:32
So as a native
from that part of the world,
from that part of the world,
176
620022
3855
Dolazim iz te regije svijeta
10:35
I want to propose here, today,
177
623901
3215
i htio bih danas predložiti
10:39
the establishment
of the Third Pole Council,
of the Third Pole Council,
178
627140
3063
osnivanje Vijeća trećeg pola,
10:43
a high-level,
intergovernmental organization
intergovernmental organization
179
631846
3496
međuvladinu organizaciju
na visokoj razini,
na visokoj razini,
10:47
tasked with the singular responsibility
180
635366
3664
čiji je jedini zadatak
10:51
of protecting the world's
third-largest repository of ice.

181
639054
3395
zaštita trećeg po veličini
područja prekrivenog ledom.
područja prekrivenog ledom.
10:55
A Third Pole Council
182
643720
2128
Vijeće trećeg pola
10:57
would consist of all eight countries
located in the region
located in the region
183
645872
3947
sastojalo bi se od svih osam država
koje se nalaze u regiji,
koje se nalaze u regiji,
11:01
as member countries,
184
649843
1258
bile bi članice,
11:03
as equal member countries,
185
651125
2638
bile bi ravnopravne članice,
11:05
and could also include
representative organizations
representative organizations
186
653787
2746
a mogle bi se, također,
uključiti organizacije
uključiti organizacije
11:08
and other countries
who have vested interests in the region
who have vested interests in the region
187
656557
3754
i druge države koje imaju
interes za ovu regiju
interes za ovu regiju
11:12
as non-voting members.
188
660335
1556
kao članice bez prava glasovanja.
11:13
But the big idea
189
661915
2054
Ideja je
11:15
is to get all stakeholders together
to work together.
to work together.
190
663993
3563
okupiti sve članove
kako bi radili zajedno,
kako bi radili zajedno,
11:19
To work together to monitor
the health of the glaciers;
the health of the glaciers;
191
667580
4544
kako bi pratili zdravlje naših ledenjaka,
11:24
to work together to shape and implement
policies to protect our glaciers,
policies to protect our glaciers,
192
672148
4880
kako bi donijeli i proveli politiku
zaštite naših ledenjaka,
zaštite naših ledenjaka,
11:29
and, by extension,
193
677052
1751
i time
11:30
to protect the billions of people
who depend on our glaciers.

194
678827
5124
zaštitili milijarde ljudi koji ovise
o tim ledenjacima.
o tim ledenjacima.
11:37
We have to work together,
195
685602
1407
Moramo raditi zajedno
11:40
because thinking globally,
acting locally ...
acting locally ...
196
688783
4571
jer "Misli globalno, djeluj lokalno"
11:46
does not work.
197
694552
1439
ne djeluje.
11:48
We've tried that in Bhutan.
198
696015
1475
Pokušali smo to u Butanu.
11:50
We've made immense sacrifices
to act locally ...
to act locally ...
199
698463
4257
Dosta smo žrtvovali kako bismo
djelovali lokalno...
djelovali lokalno...
11:56
and while individual localized efforts
will continue to be important,
will continue to be important,
200
704705
5126
I iako nam je lokalna
politika i dalje bitna,

12:01
they cannot stand up
to the onslaught of climate change.

201
709855

ona neće zaustaviti napad
klimatskih promjena.
klimatskih promjena.
12:05
To stand up to climate change,
we must work together.
we must work together.
202
713677
3730
Za borbu protiv klimatskih promjena,
moramo raditi zajedno.
moramo raditi zajedno.
12:10
We must think globally and act regionally.
203
718272
3659
Moramo razmišljati globalno
i djelovati regionalno.
i djelovati regionalno.
12:15
Our entire region must come together,
204
723017
3915
Cijela naša regija mora se okupiti,
12:18
to work together,
205
726956
1542
raditi zajedno,
12:20
to fight climate change together,
206
728522
1962
kako bismo se borili
protiv klimatskih promjena,
protiv klimatskih promjena,
12:22
to make our voices heard together.
207
730508
2744
kako bi se naš zajednički glas čuo.
12:27
And that includes India and China.
208
735751
4317
To uključuje Indiju i Kinu.
12:32
They must step up their game.
209
740836
2065
Moraju početi djelovati.
12:36
They must take the ownership
of the fight to protect our glaciers.
of the fight to protect our glaciers.
210
744197
4682
Moraju zauzeti mjesto u borbi
za zaštitu naših ledenjaka.
za zaštitu naših ledenjaka.
12:41
And for that, these two countries,
these two powerful giants,
these two powerful giants,
211
749482
3062
Kako bi to uspjeli, ove dvije moćne države
12:44
must reduce their own greenhouse gases,
212
752568
2851
moraju smanjiti količinu
svojih stakleničkih plinova,
svojih stakleničkih plinova,
12:48
control their pollution,
and lead the fight.
and lead the fight.
213

Lead the global fight

214
761134

Voditi globalnu borbu

12:57
And all that with a renewed
sense of urgency.
sense of urgency.
215
765950
2936
I sve to uz osjećaj hitnosti.
13:00
Only then -- and that, too, only maybe --
216
768910
3998
Jedino tada, možda,
13:04
will our region
217
772932
1876
će naša regija
13:06
and other regions
that depend on our glaciers
that depend on our glaciers
218
774832
2436
i druge regije koje ovise
o našim ledenjacima
o našim ledenjacima
13:09
have any chance to avoid
major catastrophes.

219
777292
4563
imati izgleda izbjeći
veliku katastrofu.
veliku katastrofu.
13:15
Time is running out.
220
783554
1444
Vrijeme istječe.
13:18
We must act together, now.
221
786257
3269
Moramo djelovati zajedno, sada.
13:22
Otherwise, the next time
Nepal's cabinet meets on Mount Everest,
Nepal's cabinet meets on Mount Everest,
222
790400
6499
U suprotnom, sljedeći put kada se
kabinet Nepala sastane na Mount Everestu,
kabinet Nepala sastane na Mount Everestu,
13:28
that spectacular backdrop ...
223
796923
2303
ova prekrasna pozadina
13:32
may look quite different.
224
800534
1484
možda bude izgledala drugačije.
13:37
And if that happens,
225
805316
1150
I ako se to desi,
13:40
if our glaciers melt,
226
808031
2213
ako se naši ledenjaci otope,
13:42
rising sea levels
could well drown the Maldives.
could well drown the Maldives.
227
810268
3405
razine mora bi mogle potopiti Maldive.
13:47
And while they can hold
their cabinet meetings underwater
their cabinet meetings underwater
228
815229
4322
I iako mogu održati sastanak
kabineta pod vodom
kabineta pod vodom
13:51
to send an SOS to the world,
229
819575
2651
kako bi poslali svijetu poziv za pomoć,
13:54
their country can keep existing
230
822250
2429
njihova država može postojati
13:56
only if their islands keep existing.
231
824703
4380
jedino ako otok postoji.
14:03
The Maldives are still distant, away.
232
831256
4675
Maldivi su daleko.
14:09
Their islands are distant
from where I live.
from where I live.
233
837090
3579
Njihovi otoci su daleko od
mjesta gdje živim,
mjesta gdje živim,
14:13
But now, I pay close attention
to what happens out there.
to what happens out there.
234
841927
5571
ali sad se obazirem na to
što se dešava kod njih.
što se dešava kod njih.
14:21
Thank you very much.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tshering Tobgay - Prime Minister of BhutanActing on his mandate to move Bhutan into the 21st century, Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay is transforming his nation -- while maintaining its “Gross National Happiness.”
Why you should listen
Tshering Tobgay went from civil servant to politician to prime minister -- all the while maintaining his star social media profile in one of Asia’s most progressive emerging states. As the second democratically elected Prime Minister of Bhutan, Tobgay continues to emphasize his country’s core value of happiness.
Bhutan's acclaimed "Gross National Happiness" index prioritizes well-being over financial growth. But Tobgay also seeks to solve Bhutan's great challenges: unemployment, poverty, gaps in education and infrastructure. WIth a foundation of optimism, his administration and the country's young democracy hope to become a paragon of stability in the developing world.
