Kako da izgradimo društvo

bez fosilnih goriva?
00:18
This is a very complex challenge,

6944
2176
Ovo je veoma složen izazov
00:21
and I believe developing countries
could take the lead in this transition.
could take the lead in this transition.

i verujem da bi zemlje u razvoju
mogle da imaju prednost u ovom prelazu.
mogle da imaju prednost u ovom prelazu.
00:27
And I'm aware that this
is a contentious statement,
is a contentious statement,
4
15120
2560
Svesna sam da je ovo sporna izjava,
00:30
but the reality is that so much
is at stake in our countries
is at stake in our countries
5
18440
5296
ali u stvarnosti je mnogo toga
pod rizikom u našim zemljama,
pod rizikom u našim zemljama,
00:35
if we let fossil fuels stay
at the center of our development.
at the center of our development.
6
23760
4880
ukoliko dozvolimo da fosilna goriva
ostanu u središtu našeg razvoja.
ostanu u središtu našeg razvoja.
00:41
We can do it differently.
7
29240
1840
Možemo drugačije.
00:44
And it's time, it really is time,
8
32200
3256
I vreme je, zaista je vreme
00:47
to debunk the myth
9
35480
2696
da razbijemo mit
00:50
that a country has to choose
between development on the one hand
between development on the one hand
10
38200
5056
da zemlja mora da bira
između razvoja sa jedne strane
između razvoja sa jedne strane
00:55
and environmental protection,
renewables, quality of life, on the other.
renewables, quality of life, on the other.
11
43280

i zaštite okoline, obnovljivih izvora,
kvaliteta života, sa druge strane.

01:01
I come from Costa Rica,
a developing country.
a developing country.
12
49800
2280
Ja sam iz Kostarike, zemlje u razvoju.
01:04
We are nearly five million people,
13
52680
2200
Ima nas skoro pet miliona
01:08
and we live right in the middle
of the Americas,
of the Americas,
14
56200
2576
i živimo između dve Amerike,
01:10
so it's very easy
to remember where we live.
to remember where we live.
15
58800
2320
tako da je veoma lako
zapamtiti gde živimo.
zapamtiti gde živimo.
01:15
Nearly 100 percent of our electricity
16
63080
6280
Skoro 100% naše električne energije
01:22
comes from renewable sources,
17
70400
2456
dolazi iz obnovljivih izvora,
01:24
five of them.
18
72880
1216
i to njih pet.
01:26
(Applause)

01:30
Hydropower, geothermal,
20
78800
3856
Snaga vode, geotermalna energija,
01:34
wind, solar, biomass.
21
82680
3440
vetar, solarna energija i biomasa.
01:39
Did you know that last year,
22
87000
2136
Da li ste znali da prošle godine,
01:41
for 299 days,
23
89160
3456
299 dana
01:44
we did not use any fossil fuels
24
92640
3216
nismo koristili bilo kakva fosilna goriva
01:47
in order to generate all our electricity?
25
95880
3480
kako bismo dobili
svu našu električnu energiju?
svu našu električnu energiju?
01:52
It's a fantastic achievement,
26
100240
2960
To je fantastično dostignuće,
01:56
and yet, it hides a paradox,
27
104360
4080
a ipak, krije paradoks,
02:03
which is that nearly 70 percent
28
111080
3056
a to je da je skoro 70%
02:06
of all our energy consumption is oil.
29
114160
4600
našeg konzumiranja energije nafta.
02:11
Why?
30
119880
1200
Zašto?
02:13
Because of our transportation system,
31
121800
2736
Zbog našeg sistema transporta,
02:16
which is totally dependent
on fossil fuels,
on fossil fuels,
32
124560
3256
koji potpuno zavisi od fosilnih goriva,
02:19
like it is in most countries.
33
127840
1639
kao u većini zemalja.
02:22
So if we think of the energy
transition as a marathon,
transition as a marathon,
34
130479
3537
Ako o prelazu energije razmišljamo
kao o maratonu,
kao o maratonu,
02:26
the question is, how do we get
to the finish line,
to the finish line,
35
134040
3896
pitanje je kako doći do cilja,
02:29
how do we decarbonize
the rest of the economy?
the rest of the economy?
36
137960
3120
kako ukloniti ugljenik
iz ostatka ekonomije?
iz ostatka ekonomije?
02:33
And it's fair to say
that if we don't succeed,
that if we don't succeed,
37
141880
2896
Pošteno je reći da ako ne uspemo,
02:36
it's difficult to see who will.
38
144800
1776
teško je zamisliti ko će uspeti.
02:38
So that is why I want
to talk to you about Costa Rica,
to talk to you about Costa Rica,
39
146600
2560
Upravo zato želim
da vam pričam o Kostariki,
da vam pričam o Kostariki,
02:42
because I believe we are a great candidate
40
150160
2696
jer verujem da smo sjajan kandidat
02:44
in pioneering a vision
for development without fossil fuels.
for development without fossil fuels.
41
152880
4400
u započinjanju vizije
za razvoj bez fosilnih goriva.
za razvoj bez fosilnih goriva.
02:51
If you know one thing about our country,
42
159200
3256
Ukoliko znate jednu stvar o našoj zemlji,
02:54
it's that we don't have an army.
43
162480
1920
to je da nemamo vojsku.
02:57
So I'm going to take you back to 1948.
44
165440
2920
Vratićemo se u 1948.
03:01
That year, the country
was coming out of civil war.
was coming out of civil war.
45
169400
3720
Te godine zemlja je izlazila
iz građanskog rata.
iz građanskog rata.
03:06
Thousands of Costa Ricans had died,
46
174360
3576
Hiljade Kostarikanaca je poginulo
03:09
and families were bitterly split.
47
177960
2280
a porodice su bile razorene.
03:13
And yet, a surprising idea
won the hearts and minds:
won the hearts and minds:
48
181240
5016
Ipak, iznenađujuća ideja
zaokupirala je srca i umove:
zaokupirala je srca i umove:
03:18
we would reboot the country,
49
186280
1896
ponovo ćemo pokrenuti zemlju
03:20
and that Second Republic
would have no army.
would have no army.
50
188200
3056
i Druga Republika neće imati vojsku.
03:23
So we abolished it.
51
191280
1240
Tako smo je ukinuli.
03:25
And the president at the time,
52
193360
2656
Tadašnji predsednik,
03:28
José Figueres,
53
196040
2176
Hose Figeres,
03:30
found a powerful way
by smashing the walls of an army base.
by smashing the walls of an army base.
54
198240
5320
pronašao je moćan način, tako što je
razbio zidove vojne baze.
razbio zidove vojne baze.
03:37
The following year, 1949,
55
205200
3176
Naredne godine, 1949,
03:40
we made that decision permanent
in the new constitution,
in the new constitution,
56
208400
4176
tu odluku smo učinili trajnom
u novom ustavu
u novom ustavu
03:44
and that is why I can tell you that story
nearly 70 years later.
nearly 70 years later.
57
212600
4160
i zato mogu da vam ispričam ovo
skoro 70 godina kasnije.
skoro 70 godina kasnije.
03:49
And I'm grateful.
58
217520
2016
I zahvalna sam.
03:51
I'm grateful they made that decision
before I was born,
before I was born,
59
219560
2960
Zahvalna sam što su tu odluku doneli
pre nego što sam se rodila,
pre nego što sam se rodila,
03:55
because it allowed me
and millions of others
and millions of others
60
223280
2256
jer je dozvolila meni i milionima drugih
03:57
to live in a very stable country.
61
225560
2160
da živimo u veoma stabilnoj državi.
04:01
And you might be thinking
that it was good luck,
that it was good luck,
62
229200
2936
Možda mislite da je to samo dobra sreća,
04:04
but it wasn't.
63
232160
1496
ali nije.
04:05
There was a pattern of deliberate choices.
64
233680
3040
Postojao je šablon svesnih izbora.
04:10
In the '40s, Costa Ricans were given
free education and free health care.
free education and free health care.
65
238080
6056
U 40-tim godinama, Kostarikancima su dati
besplatno obrazovanje i zdravstvo.
besplatno obrazovanje i zdravstvo.
04:16
We called that social guarantees.
66
244160
1960
To smo zvali društvenim garancijama.
04:18
By abolishing the army,
67
246760
1616
Raspustivši vojsku,
04:20
we were able to turn military spending
into social spending,
into social spending,
68
248400
4936
mogli smo da prebacimo vojne troškove
u socijalne troškove
u socijalne troškove
04:25
and that was a driver of stability.
69
253360
1920
i to je bio pokretač stabilnosti.
04:28
In the '50s --
70
256120
1255
50-tih godina -
04:29
(Applause)
71
257399
2081
(Aplauz)
04:34
In the '50s, we started
investing in hydropower,
investing in hydropower,
72
262600
3376
50-tih godina, počeli smo da ulažemo
u snagu vode
u snagu vode
04:38
and that kept us away from the trap
73
266000
2656
i to nas je izbavilo od zamke
04:40
of using fossil fuels
for electricity generation,
for electricity generation,
74
268680
3056
korišćenja fosilnih goriva
za stvaranje električne energije,
za stvaranje električne energije,
04:43
which is what the world
is struggling with today.
is struggling with today.
75
271760
2360
a to je ono sa čime se svet bori danas.
04:47
In the '70s we invested in national parks,
76
275160
3536
U 70-tim smo ulagali u nacionalne parkove
04:50
and that kept us away
77
278720
1960
i to nas je odvratilo
04:53
from the deeply flawed logic
of growth, growth, growth at any cost
of growth, growth, growth at any cost
78
281640
4656
od potpuno pogrešne logike
rasta, rasta i rasta po svaku cenu,
rasta, rasta i rasta po svaku cenu,
04:58
that you see others embracing,
especially in the developing world.
especially in the developing world.
79
286320
3680
koju vidite da prihvataju drugi,
naročito u svetu u razvoju.
naročito u svetu u razvoju.
05:02
In the '90s, we pioneered payments
for ecosystem services,
for ecosystem services,
80
290800
4096
U 90-tim smo započeli isplate
za usluge koje se tiču ekosistema
za usluge koje se tiču ekosistema
05:06
and that helped us reverse deforestation
81
294920
1936
i to nam je pomoglo da preokrenemo
proces krčenja šuma
proces krčenja šuma
05:08
and boosted ecotourism,
which today is a key engine of growth.
which today is a key engine of growth.
82
296880
3160
i povećalo je ekoturizam,
koji je danas ključni deo rasta.
koji je danas ključni deo rasta.
05:13
So investing in environmental protection
83
301000
2936
Ulaganje u zaštitu sredine
05:15
did not hurt our economy.
84
303960
2216
nije škodilo našoj ekonomiji.
05:18
Quite the opposite.
85
306200
1256
Naprotiv.
05:19
And it doesn't mean we are perfect,
86
307480
2016
To ne znači da smo savršeni,
05:21
and it doesn't mean
we don't have contradictions.
we don't have contradictions.
87
309520
2336
i ne znači da kod nas nema kontradikcija.
05:23
That's not the point.
88
311880
1240
To nije poenta.
05:25
The point is that,
by making our own choices,
by making our own choices,
89
313720
3496
Poenta je da, donoseći sopstvene izbore,
05:29
we were able to develop resilience
in dealing with development problems.
in dealing with development problems.
90
317240
4960
mogli smo da razvijemo otpor
u nošenju sa problemima razvoja.
u nošenju sa problemima razvoja.
05:36
Also, if you take a country like ours,
91
324080
3576
Takođe, ako uzmete zemlju nalik našoj,
05:39
the GDP per capita
is around 11,000 dollars,
is around 11,000 dollars,
92
327680
3896
BDP po glavi stanovnika
je oko 11 000 dolara,
je oko 11 000 dolara,
05:43
depending on how you measure it.
93
331600
1720
u zavisnosti od toga kako ga merite.
05:46
But according to
the Social Progress Index,
the Social Progress Index,
94
334080
2056
Ali po Indeksu društvenog progresa,
05:48
we are an absolute outlier
95
336160
1896
mi skroz odudaramo
05:50
when it comes to turning GDP
into social progress.
into social progress.
96
338080
3120
što se tiče pretvaranja BDP-a
u društveni progres.
u društveni progres.
05:54
Abolishing the army,
97
342000
1536
Ukidanje vojske,
05:55
investing in nature and people,
98
343560
1816
ulaganje u prirodu i ljude,
05:57
did something very powerful, too.
99
345400
2800
je urodilo nečim veoma moćnim.
06:01
It shaped the narrative,
100
349120
1560
Oblikovalo je narativ,
06:04
the narrative of a small country
with big ideas,
with big ideas,
101
352000
2616
narativ male zemlje s velikim idejama
06:06
and it was very empowering
to grow up with that narrative.
to grow up with that narrative.
102
354640
3360
i bilo je veoma motivišuće odrastati
uz takav narativ.
uz takav narativ.
06:11
So the question is,
103
359520
2176
Pitanje je,
06:13
what is the next big idea
for this generation?
for this generation?
104
361720
3080
koja je naredna velika ideja
za ovu generaciju?
za ovu generaciju?
06:18
And I believe what comes next
105
366320
2376
Verujem da je sledeće
06:20
is for this generation
to let go of fossil fuels for good,
to let go of fossil fuels for good,
106
368720
5160
za ovu generaciju to
da zauvek zaboravimo na fosilna goriva,
da zauvek zaboravimo na fosilna goriva,
06:27
just as we did with the army.
107
375640
1640
kao što smo uradili s vojskom.
06:30
Fossil fuels create climate change.
108
378400
2296
Fosilna goriva izazivaju
klimatske promene.
klimatske promene.
06:32
We know that,
109
380720
1376
To znamo,
06:34
and we know how vulnerable we are
to the impacts of climate change.
to the impacts of climate change.
110
382120
4496
i znamo koliko smo podložni
uticajima klimatskih promena.
uticajima klimatskih promena.
06:38
So as a developing country,
it is in our best interest
it is in our best interest
111
386640
3656
Kao zemlja u razvoju,
u našem je najboljem interesu
u našem je najboljem interesu
06:42
to build development without fossil fuels
112
390320
1976
da se razvijamo bez fosilnih goriva
06:44
that harm people in the first place.
113
392320
2640
koja uostalom škode ljudima.
06:48
Because
114
396880
1240
Zato što,
06:51
why would we continue importing oil
115
399000
2840
zašto bismo nastavili da uvozimo naftu
06:55
for transportation
116
403800
1736
za transport,
06:57
if we can use electricity instead?
117
405560
2160
kada možemo koristiti električnu energiju?
07:00
Remember,
118
408720
1816
Setite se,
07:02
this is the country
119
410560
1896
ovo je zemlja
07:04
where electricity
comes from water in our rivers,
comes from water in our rivers,
120
412480
6056
gde električna energija dolazi
iz voda u našim rekama,
iz voda u našim rekama,
07:10
heat from volcanoes,
121
418560
2496
toplote iz vulkana,
07:13
wind turbines, solar panels,
122
421080
3336
vetrenih turbina, solarnih ploča,
07:16
biowaste.
123
424440
1200
biootpada.
07:18
Abolishing fossil fuels means
disrupting our transportation system
disrupting our transportation system
124
426560
6296
Napuštanje fosilnih goriva znači
remećenje našeg sistema transporta,
remećenje našeg sistema transporta,
07:24
so that we can power our cars,
buses and trains with electricity
buses and trains with electricity
125
432880
5336
tako da možemo napajati naše automobile,
autobuse i vozove električnom energijom
autobuse i vozove električnom energijom
07:30
instead of dirty energy.
126
438240
1480
umesto prljavom energijom.
07:32
And transportation, let me tell you,
127
440400
2416
Da vam kažem, transport je postao
07:34
has become an existential issue
for us Costa Ricans,
for us Costa Ricans,
128

pitanje opstanka za nas u Kostariki,
07:38
because the model we have
is not working for us.
is not working for us.
129
446920
2416
pošto model koji imamo
ne funkcioniše za nas.
ne funkcioniše za nas.
07:41
It's hurting people,
130
449360
1240
On škodi ljudima,
07:43
it's hurting companies,
131
451480
1736
škodi kompanijama
07:45
and it's hurting our health.
132
453240
1976
i škodi našem zdravlju.
07:47
Because when policies
and infrastructure fail,
and infrastructure fail,
133
455240
4736
Kada pokleknu politika i infrastrukture,
07:52
this is what happens on a daily basis.
134
460000
3240
ovo se dešava svakodnevno.
07:56
Two hours in the morning,
135
464800
1576
Dva sata ujutru,
07:58
two hours in the evening.
136
466400
1816
dva sata uveče.
08:00
I don't understand why
we have to accept this as normal.
we have to accept this as normal.
137
468240
3680
Ne razumem zašto moramo
da prihvatimo ovo kao normalno.
da prihvatimo ovo kao normalno.
08:04
It's offensive
138
472800
1200
Uvredljivo je
08:07
to have to waste our time like this
every single day.
every single day.
139
475040
3920
da moramo da ovako traćimo vreme
svakoga dana.
svakoga dana.
A ovaj autoput je zapravo prilično dobar
08:11
And this highway is actually quite good
140
479920
1896
08:13
compared to what you see
in other countries
in other countries
141
481840
2056
u poređenju sa onim što postoji
u drugim zemljama
u drugim zemljama
08:15
where traffic is exploding.
142
483920
1440
gde saobraćaj eksplodira.
08:18
You know, Costa Ricans call this "presa."
143
486000
2280
U Kostariki ovo zovu "presa".
08:21
Presa means "imprisoned."
144
489280
1920
Presa znači "zarobljen".
08:24
And people are turning violent
145
492360
2976
Ljudi postaju nasilni,
08:27
in a country that is otherwise
happy in pura vida.
happy in pura vida.
146
495360
3200
u zemlji koja je inače srećna u osnovi.
08:32
It's happening.
147
500040
1240
To se dešava.
08:33
So a lot is at stake.
148
501880
1360
Dosta toga je pod znakom pitanja.
08:36
The good news
149
504560
1856
Dobre vesti su
08:38
is that when we talk
about clean transportation
about clean transportation
150
506440
3016
da kada pričamo o čistom transportu
08:41
and different mobility,
151
509480
1256
i različitoj pokretljivosti,
08:42
we're not talking about
some distant utopia out there.
some distant utopia out there.
152
510760
5015
ne pričamo o dalekoj utopiji.
08:47
We're talking about electric mobility
that is happening today.
that is happening today.
153
515799
3760
Pričamo o električnoj pokretljivosti
koja se dešava danas.
koja se dešava danas.
08:53
By 2022, electric cars
and conventional cars
and conventional cars
154
521039
5457
Do 2022, električni automobili
i tradicionalni automobili
i tradicionalni automobili
08:58
are expected to cost the same,
155
526520
2080
trebalo bi da koštaju isto,
09:01
and cities are already trying
electric buses.
electric buses.
156
529520
3360
a gradovi već isprobavaju
električne autobuse.
električne autobuse.
09:05
And these really cool creatures
157
533800
2040
A ova super stvorenja
09:08
are saving money,
158
536760
1200
štede novac
09:11
and they reduce pollution.
159
539000
1760
i smanjuju zagađenje.
09:13
So if we want to get rid
of oil-based transportation, we can,
of oil-based transportation, we can,
160
541480
3976
Ako želimo da se otarasimo transporta
zasnovanog na nafti, možemo,
zasnovanog na nafti, možemo,
09:17
because we have options now
that we didn't have before.
that we didn't have before.
161
545480
2616
pošto sada imamo izbore
koje pre nismo imali.
koje pre nismo imali.
09:20
It's really exciting.
162
548120
1280
Zaista je uzbudljivo.
09:22
But of course,
163
550760
1200
Ali naravno,
09:25
some get very uncomfortable
with this idea,
with this idea,
164
553280
2680
nekima ova ideja nije prijatna
09:29
and they will come and they will tell you
165
557760
3176
i prići će vam i reći
09:32
that the world is stuck with oil,
and so is Costa Rica, so get real.
and so is Costa Rica, so get real.
166
560960
4816
da se svet zaglibio u nafti,
kao i Kostarika, pa se uozbiljite.
kao i Kostarika, pa se uozbiljite.
09:37
That's what they tell you.
167
565800
1256
To će vam reći.
09:39
And you know what the answer
to that argument is?
to that argument is?
168
567080
2336
Znate šta je odgovor na tu tvrdnju?
09:41
That in 1948, we didn't say
the world is stuck with armies,
the world is stuck with armies,
169
569440
3576
Da 1948. nismo rekli da se svet
zaglibio u vojsci,
zaglibio u vojsci,
09:45
so let's keep our army, too.
170
573040
1936
pa hajde da zadržimo vojsku.
09:47
No, we made a very brave choice,
171
575000
2960
Ne, učinili smo hrabar izbor,
09:50
and that choice made the whole difference.
172
578640
2200
a taj izbor je sve učinio drugačijim.
09:53
So it's time for this generation
to be brave again
to be brave again
173
581600
4376
Vreme je da ova generacija
bude opet hrabra
bude opet hrabra
09:58
and abolish fossil fuels for good.
174
586000
1776
i zauvek napusti fosilna goriva.
09:59
And I'll give you three reasons
why we have to do this.
why we have to do this.
175
587800
2600
Daću vam tri razloga zašto da uradimo ovo.
10:03
First,
176
591240
1200
Prvo,
10:05
our model of transportation
and urbanization is broken,
and urbanization is broken,
177
593120
3736
naš model transporta i urbanizacije
ne funkcioniše, pa je ovo
ne funkcioniše, pa je ovo
10:08
so this is the best moment
to redefine our urban and mobility future.
to redefine our urban and mobility future.
178
596880
4440
najbolji trenutak za redefinisanje
naše budućnosti urbanizma i kretanja.
naše budućnosti urbanizma i kretanja.
10:14
We don't want cities
that are built for cars.
that are built for cars.
179
602520
2816
Ne želimo gradove
koji su smišljeni za automobile.
koji su smišljeni za automobile.
10:17
We want cities for people
180
605360
2336
Želimo gradove za ljude,
10:19
where we can walk and we can use bikes.
181
607720
3856
gde možemo da hodamo i koristimo bicikle.
10:23
And we want public transportation,
182
611600
2136
Želimo javni transport,
10:25
lots of it,
183
613760
1496
dosta javnog transporta,
10:27
public transportation
that is clean and dignifying.
that is clean and dignifying.
184
615280
3040
javni transport
koji je čist i dostojanstven.
koji je čist i dostojanstven.
10:31
Because if we continue
adding fleets of conventional cars,
adding fleets of conventional cars,
185
619200
3920
Jer ako nastavimo da dodajemo
hrpe tradicionalnih automobila,
hrpe tradicionalnih automobila,
10:36
our cities will become unbearable.
186
624760
2200
naši gradovi postaće nepodnošljivi.
10:40
Second, we have to change,
187
628000
1736
Drugo, moramo da se promenimo,
10:41
but incremental change
is not going to be sufficient.
is not going to be sufficient.
188
629760
3480
ali male promene neće biti dovoljne.
10:46
We need transformational change.
189
634720
2040
Potrebne su nam korenite promene.
10:49
And there are some
incremental projects in my country,
incremental projects in my country,
190
637600
2856
U mojoj zemlji ima malih projekata
10:52
and I am the first one to celebrate them.
191
640480
2200
i prva ću ih slaviti.
10:55
But let's not kid ourselves.
192
643800
2376
Ali nemojmo se zavaravati.
10:58
We're not talking about ending up
with really beautiful electric cars here
with really beautiful electric cars here
193
646200
3896
Ne pričamo o tome da imamo
nekoliko lepih električnih automobila tu
nekoliko lepih električnih automobila tu
11:02
and a few electric buses there
194
650120
2616
i par električnih autobusa tamo
11:04
while we keep investing
in the same kind of infrastructure,
in the same kind of infrastructure,
195
652760
3376
i da nastavimo da ulažemo
u istu infrastrukturu,
u istu infrastrukturu,
11:08
more cars, more roads, more oil.
196
656160
2496
još automobila, još puteva, još nafte.
11:10
We're talking about
breaking free from oil,
breaking free from oil,
197
658680
4296
Pričamo o oslobađanju od nafte,
11:15
and you cannot get there
through incrementalism.
through incrementalism.
198
663000
3320
a dotle se ne stiže kroz sitničarenje.
11:20
Third, and you know this one,
199
668360
3160
Treće, a ovo znate,
11:25
the world is hungry for inspiration.
200
673080
3600
svet je gladan inspiracije.
11:30
It craves stories of success
201
678120
3096
Žudi za pričama o uspehu
11:33
in dealing with complex issues,
202
681240
1776
u borbi sa složenim problemima,
11:35
especially in developing countries.
203
683040
3120
naročito u zemljama u razvoju.
11:39
So I believe Costa Rica
can be an inspiration to others,
can be an inspiration to others,
204
687400
3280
Verujem da Kostarika može biti
inspiracija za druge,
inspiracija za druge,
11:43
as we did last year when we disclosed
205
691720
2736
kao prošle godine kada smo objavili
11:46
that for so many days
we were not using any fossil fuels
we were not using any fossil fuels
206
694480
3976
da toliko dana nismo koristili
nikakva fosilna goriva
nikakva fosilna goriva
11:50
in order to generate all our electricity.
207
698480
4856
da bismo dobili električnu energiju.
11:55
The news went viral around the world.
208
703360
3360
Vest je planula širom sveta.
11:59
Also, and this makes me extremely proud,
209
707640
3096
Takođe, a zbog ovog sam veoma ponosna,
12:02
a Costa Rican woman, Christiana Figueres,
210
710760
3840
Kostarikanka, Kristijana Figueres,
12:07
played a decisive role in the negotiations
of the Paris climate agreement.
of the Paris climate agreement.
211
715480
5800
igrala je ključnu odluku u razgovorima
u Pariskom klimatskom dogovoru.
u Pariskom klimatskom dogovoru.
12:14
So we have to protect that legacy
and be an example.
and be an example.
212
722600
3720
Moramo da zaštitimo to nasleđe
i budemo primer drugima.
i budemo primer drugima.
12:19
So what comes next?
213
727400
1800
Šta je sledeće?
12:22
The people.
214
730240
1280
Ljudi.
12:24
How do we get people to own this?
215
732280
2560
Kako da nateramo ljude da slede ovo?
12:27
How do we get people
216
735760
2096
Kako da nateramo ljude
12:29
to believe that it's possible
217
737880
2416
da veruju da je moguće
12:32
to build a society without fossil fuels?
218
740320
2640
sagraditi društvo bez fosilnih goriva?
12:36
A lot of work from
the ground up is needed.
the ground up is needed.
219
744040
3320
Potrebno je dosta rada iz temelja.
12:41
That is why, in 2014,
we created Costa Rica Limpia.
we created Costa Rica Limpia.
220
749120
3520
Zato smo 2014. osnovali
Kostarika Limpiju.
Kostarika Limpiju.
12:45
"Limpia" means "clean,"
221
753720
2696
"Limpia" znači "čisto"
12:48
because we want to empower
and we want to inspire citizens.
and we want to inspire citizens.
222
756440
3640
jer želimo da osnažimo
i nadahnemo građane.
i nadahnemo građane.
12:52
If citizens don't get engaged,
223
760760
2920
Ukoliko se ne uključe građani,
12:57
clean transportation decisions
will be bogged down by endless,
will be bogged down by endless,
224
765080
4656
odluke o čistom transportu
zaglaviće se u beskrajnim
zaglaviće se u beskrajnim
13:01
and I mean endless, technical discussions,
225
769760
2976
i zaista mislim beskrajnim
tehničkim raspravama
tehničkim raspravama
13:04
and by avalanches of lobbying
by various established interests.
by various established interests.
226
772760
4280
i u lavinama lobista za razne interese.
13:12
Wanting to be a green country
powered by renewables
powered by renewables
227
780720
3856
Želja da budemo zelena zemlja
koja se napaja obnovljivim izvorima
koja se napaja obnovljivim izvorima
13:16
is already part of our story.
228
784600
2576
već je deo naše priče.
13:19
We should not let anybody
take that away from us.
take that away from us.
229
787200
2680
Ne smemo da dozvolimo ikome
da to oduzme od nas.
da to oduzme od nas.
13:24
Last year, we brought people
from our seven provinces
from our seven provinces
230
792080
4456
Prošle godine, doveli smo ljude
iz sedam provincija
iz sedam provincija
13:28
to talk about climate change
in terms that matter to them,
in terms that matter to them,
231
796560
3240
da pričaju o klimatskim promenama
u njima bitnim sferama,
u njima bitnim sferama,
13:32
and we also brought this year
232
800720
2896
a ove godine smo doveli
13:35
another group of Costa Ricans
233
803640
2056
još jednu grupu Kostarikanaca
13:37
to talk about renewable energy.
234
805720
2096
da pričaju o obnovljivoj energiji.
13:39
And you know what?
235
807840
1256
I znate šta?
13:41
These people disagree on almost everything
236
809120
2256
Ovi ljudi se ne slažu skoro ni u čemu,
13:43
except on renewable energy
237
811400
2656
osim u pitanjima obnovljive energije
13:46
and clean transportation and clean air.
238
814080
2096
i čistog transporta i vazduha.
13:48
It brings people together.
239
816200
1976
Ovo spaja ljude.
13:50
And the key to real participation
240
818200
2856
Ključ stvarnog učestvovanja
je da se pomogne ljudima
da se ne osećaju malima.
da se ne osećaju malima.
13:53
is to help people not to feel small.
241
821080
2216
13:55
People feel powerless,
242
823320
1296
Ljudi imaju osećaj da su bespomoćni
13:56
and they are tired of not being heard.
243
824640
2320
i umore se od toga da ih niko ne čuje.
14:01
So what we do is concrete things,
244
829000
2376
Treba da radimo konkretne stvari
14:03
and we translate technical issues
into citizen language
into citizen language
245
831400
4496
i prevodimo tehničke probleme
u jezik građana,
u jezik građana,
14:07
to show that citizens have a role to play
and can play it together.
and can play it together.
246
835920
3720
da pokažemo da građani imaju ulogu
i da mogu da je vrše zajedno.
i da mogu da je vrše zajedno.
14:12
For the first time, we're tracking
the promises that were made
the promises that were made
247
840480
3216
Po prvi put, pratimo obećanja doneta
14:15
on clean transportation,
248
843720
1496
što se tiče čistog transporta
14:17
and politicos know
that they have to deliver it,
that they have to deliver it,
249
845240
2616
i političari znaju da moraju da ih ispune,
14:19
but the tipping point will come
when we form coalitions --
when we form coalitions --
250
847880
3000
ali prelomna tačka će doći
kada formiramo koalicije,
kada formiramo koalicije,
14:23
citizens, companies,
251
851960
1856
građani, kompanije,
14:25
champions of public transportation --
252
853840
2176
vođe u javnom transportu,
14:28
that will make electric mobility
the new normal,
the new normal,
253
856040
2776
da ćemo učiniti električnu pokretljivost
novim standardom,
novim standardom,
14:30
especially in a developing country.
254
858840
2360
naročito u zemlji u razvoju.
14:34
By the time the next election comes,
255
862560
3696
Do sledećih izbora,
14:38
I believe every candidate
will have to disclose where they stand
will have to disclose where they stand
256
866280
3416
verujem da će svaki kandidat
morati da otkrije svoj stav
morati da otkrije svoj stav
14:41
on the abolition of fossil fuels.
257
869720
1896
o napuštanju fosilnih goriva.
14:43
Because this question
has to enter our mainstream politics.
has to enter our mainstream politics.
258
871640
3800
Ovo pitanje mora da uđe
u srž naše politike.
u srž naše politike.
14:48
And I'm telling you,
this is not a question of climate policy
this is not a question of climate policy
259
876520
3456
Kažem vam, ovo nije pitanje
politike o klimatskoj promeni
politike o klimatskoj promeni
14:52
or environmental agenda.
260
880000
