Kako izgraditi društvo

without fossil fuels?

bez fosilnih goriva?
00:18
This is a very complex challenge,
2
6944
2176
To je vrlo složen izazov
00:21
and I believe developing countries
could take the lead in this transition.
could take the lead in this transition.

i vjerujem da bi zemlje u razvoju
mogle voditi tu tranziciju.
mogle voditi tu tranziciju.
00:27
And I'm aware that this
is a contentious statement,
is a contentious statement,
4
15120
2560
I jasno mi je 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 stvarnost je takva
da je mnogo na kocki u našim zemljama
da je mnogo na kocki u našim zemljama
00:35
if we let fossil fuels stay
at the center of our development.
at the center of our development.

ako dozvolimo da fosilna goriva
ostanu središte našeg razvoja.
ostanu središte našeg razvoja.
00:41
We can do it differently.
7
29240
1840
Možemo to učiniti drugačije.
00:44
And it's time, it really is time,
8
32200
3256
I vrijeme je, stvarno je vrijeme,
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 birati
između razvoja s jedne strane
između razvoja s 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 okoliša, obnovljivih izvora
energije, kvalitete života s druge.

01:01
I come from Costa Rica,
a developing country.

12

Dolazim s Costa Rice,
zemlje u razvoju.
zemlje u razvoju.
01:04
We are nearly five million people,
13
52680
2200
Ima nas gotovo pet miiijuna
01:08
and we live right in the middle
of the Americas,
of the Americas,
14
56200
2576
i živimo između Amerika,
01:10
so it's very easy
to remember where we live.
to remember where we live.
15
58800
2320
tako da je vrlo lako upamtiti gdje živimo.
01:15
Nearly 100 percent of our electricity
16
63080
6280
Gotovo 100 posto naše struje
01:22
comes from renewable sources,
17
70400
2456
dolazi iz obnovljivih izvora,
01:24
five of them.
18
72880

njih pet.
01:26
(Applause)

01:30
Hydropower, geothermal,

Hidroelektrane, geotermalna energija,
01:34
wind, solar, biomass.
21
82680
3440
vjetar, sunce i biomasa.
01:39
Did you know that last year,
22
87000
2136
Znate li 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 fosilna goriva
01:47
in order to generate all our electricity?
25
95880
3480
kako bismo proizvodili struju?
01:52
It's a fantastic achievement,
26
100240
2960
To je nevjerojatno postignuće,
01:56
and yet, it hides a paradox,
27
104360
4080
a ipak, sakriva paradoks,
02:03
which is that nearly 70 percent
28
111080
3056
koji je da je 70 posto
02:06
of all our energy consumption is oil.
29
114160
4600
sve naše potrošnje energije nafta.
02:11
Why?
30
119880
1200
Zašto?
02:13
Because of our transportation system,
31
121800
2736
Jer je naš sustav prijevoza
02:16
which is totally dependent
on fossil fuels,
on fossil fuels,
32
124560
3256
u potpunosti ovisan o fosilnim gorivima,
02:19
like it is in most countries.
33
127840
1639
kao i u mnogim drugim državama.
02:22
So if we think of the energy
transition as a marathon,
transition as a marathon,
34
130479
3537
Tako da tranziciju energije
gledamo kao maraton,
gledamo kao maraton,
02:26
the question is, how do we get
to the finish line,
to the finish line,
35
134040
3896
a pitanje je kako preći cilj,
02:29
how do we decarbonize
the rest of the economy?
the rest of the economy?
36
137960
3120
kako da dekarboniziramo
ostatak naše ekonomije?
ostatak naše ekonomije?
02:33
And it's fair to say
that if we don't succeed,
that if we don't succeed,
37
141880
2896
I pošteno je reći da ako ne uspijemo,
02:36
it's difficult to see who will.
38
144800
1776
teško je vidjeti tko hoće.
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
Zato vam želim pričati
o Costa Rici
o Costa Rici
02:42
because I believe we are a great candidate
40
150160
2696
jer vjerujem da smo dobar kandidat
02:44
in pioneering a vision
for development without fossil fuels.
for development without fossil fuels.
41
152880
4400
u uvođenju vizije razvoja
bez fosilnih goriva.
bez fosilnih goriva.
02:51
If you know one thing about our country,
42
159200
3256
Ako 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
Pa ću vas odvesti 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 izašla
iz građanskog rata.
iz građanskog rata.
03:06
Thousands of Costa Ricans had died,
46
174360
3576
Tisuće Kostarikanaca umrlo je
03:09
and families were bitterly split.
47
177960
2280
i obitelji su bile razdvojene.
03:13
And yet, a surprising idea
won the hearts and minds:
won the hearts and minds:
48
181240
5016
A ipak, iznenađujuća ideja
pobijedila je umovima i srcima:
pobijedila je umovima i srcima:
03:18
we would reboot the country,
49
186280
1896
ponovno ćemo pokrenuti zemlju
03:20
and that Second Republic
would have no army.
would have no army.
50
188200
3056
i ta Druga Republika neće imati vojsku.
03:23
So we abolished it.
51
191280
1240
Ukinuli smo je.
03:25
And the president at the time,
52
193360
2656
I tadašnji predsjednik,
03:28
José Figueres,
53
196040
2176
Jose Figueres,
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 snažan način
rušeći zidove vojne baze.
rušeći zidove vojne baze.
03:37
The following year, 1949,
55
205200
3176
Sljedeće godine, 1949.,
03:40
we made that decision permanent
in the new constitution,
in the new constitution,
56
208400
4176
ta odluka je postala
trajna u novom ustavu
trajna 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 vam mogu pričati tu priču
gotovo 70 godina kasnije.
gotovo 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 jer su donijeli tu
odluku prije nego sam se rodila
odluku prije nego sam se rodila
03:55
because it allowed me
and millions of others
and millions of others
60
223280
2256
jer je omogućila meni i milijunima drugih
03:57
to live in a very stable country.
61
225560
2160
da žive u stabilnoj zemlji.
04:01
And you might be thinking
that it was good luck,
that it was good luck,
62
229200
2936
I možete misliti kako je to bila sreća,
04:04
but it wasn't.
63
232160
1496
no nije.
04:05
There was a pattern of deliberate choices.
64
233680
3040
Postojao je uzorak namjernih 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-ima, Kostarikanci su dobili
besplatno obrazovanje i zdravstvenu skrb.
besplatno obrazovanje i zdravstvenu skrb.
04:16
We called that social guarantees.
66
244160
1960
To smo zvali socijalna jamstva.
04:18
By abolishing the army,
67
246760
1616
Abolirajući vojsku,
04:20
we were able to turn military spending
into social spending,
into social spending,
68
248400
4936
mogli smo usmjeriti trošenje na vojsku
u društveno trošenje
u društveno trošenje
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-ih godina --
04:29
(Applause)
71
257399
2081
(Pljesak)
04:34
In the '50s, we started
investing in hydropower,
investing in hydropower,
72
262600
3376
50-ih započeli smo investiranje
u hidroelektrane
u hidroelektrane
04:38
and that kept us away from the trap
73
266000
2656
i to nas je odmaklo od zamke
04:40
of using fossil fuels
for electricity generation,
for electricity generation,
74
268680
3056
korištenja 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 s čime se bori svijet.
04:47
In the '70s we invested in national parks,
76
275160
3536
U 70-ima investirali smo
u nacionalne parkove,
u nacionalne parkove,
04:50
and that kept us away
77
278720
1960
i to nas je držalo podalje
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 duboko pogrešne logike
rasta, rasta i rasta po bilo kojoj cijeni
rasta, rasta i rasta po bilo kojoj cijeni
04:58
that you see others embracing,
especially in the developing world.
especially in the developing world.
79
286320
3680
koju drugi prihvaćaju,
osobito u zemljama u razvoju.
osobito u zemljama u razvoju.
05:02
In the '90s, we pioneered payments
for ecosystem services,
for ecosystem services,
80
290800
4096
U 90-ima uveli smo plaćanje
za usluge ekosustava i to
za usluge ekosustava i to
05:06
and that helped us reverse deforestation
81
294920
1936
je pomoglo da smanjimo
uništavanje šuma
uništavanje 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 pojačalo ekoturizam,
koji je danas ključni pokretač razvoja.
koji je danas ključni pokretač razvoja.
05:13
So investing in environmental protection
83
301000
2936
Tako da investiranje u zaštitu okoliša
05:15
did not hurt our economy.
84
303960
2216
nije naškodilo našoj ekonomiji.
05:18
Quite the opposite.
85
306200
1256
Baš suprotno.
05:19
And it doesn't mean we are perfect,
86
307480
2016
I 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 nemamo kontradiktornosti.
05:23
That's not the point.
88
311880
1240
To nije poanta.
05:25
The point is that,
by making our own choices,
by making our own choices,
89
313720
3496
Poanta je da smo čineći vlastite izbore
05:29
we were able to develop resilience
in dealing with development problems.
in dealing with development problems.
90
317240
4960
mogli stvoriti otpornost
na rješavanje problema razvoja.
na rješavanje problema razvoja.
05:36
Also, if you take a country like ours,
91
324080
3576
Također, ako uzmete zemlju kao našu,
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,
11 000 dolara,
05:43
depending on how you measure it.
93
331600
1720
ovisno o tome kako ga mjerite.
05:46
But according to
the Social Progress Index,
the Social Progress Index,
94
334080
2056
Ali prema Indeksu društvenog napretka,
05:48
we are an absolute outlier
95
336160
1896
mi smo vrlo dobri
05:50
when it comes to turning GDP
into social progress.
into social progress.
96
338080
3120
u pretvaranju BDP-a u društveni napredak.
05:54
Abolishing the army,
97
342000
1536
Ukidanje vojske,
05:55
investing in nature and people,
98
343560
1816
investiranje u prirodu i ljude
05:57
did something very powerful, too.
99
345400
2800
učinilo je također nešto moćno.
06:01
It shaped the narrative,
100
349120
1560
Oblikovalo je priču,
06:04
the narrative of a small country
with big ideas,
with big ideas,
101
352000
2616
priču 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 vrlo osnažujuće odrasti
s takvom pričom.
s takvom pričom.
06:11
So the question is,
103
359520
2176
Tako da je pitanje,
06:13
what is the next big idea
for this generation?
for this generation?
104
361720
3080
koja je sljedeća velika ideja
ove generacije?
ove generacije?
06:18
And I believe what comes next
105
366320
2376
I vjerujem da je ono
što sljedeće dolazi jest
što sljedeće dolazi jest
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
da ova generacija napusti fosilna goriva.
06:27
just as we did with the army.
107
375640
1640
Kao što smo učinili s vojskom.
06:30
Fossil fuels create climate change.
108
378400
2296
Fosilna goriva stvaraju
klimatske promjene.
klimatske promjene.
06:32
We know that,
109
380720
1376
Znamo to,
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 kako smo ranjivi
na utjecaj klimatskih promjena.
na utjecaj klimatskih promjena.
06:38
So as a developing country,
it is in our best interest
it is in our best interest
111
386640
3656
Nama, kao zemlji u razvoju,
u najboljem interesu je
u najboljem interesu je
06:42
to build development without fossil fuels
112
390320
1976
graditi razvitak bez fosilnih goriva
06:44
that harm people in the first place.
113
392320
2640
koja štete ljudima.
06:48
Because
114
396880
1240
Zato što
06:51
why would we continue importing oil
115
399000
2840
zašto bismo uvozili naftu
06:55
for transportation
116
403800
1736
za prijevoz
06:57
if we can use electricity instead?
117
405560
2160
kad možemo koristiti struju?
07:00
Remember,
118
408720
1816
Upamtite,
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
odakle struja dolazi iz vode iz rijeka,
07:10
heat from volcanoes,
121
418560
2496
topline naših vulkana,
07:13
wind turbines, solar panels,
122
421080
3336
vjetroturbina, solarnih ploča,
07:16
biowaste.
123
424440
1200
bio-otpada.
07:18
Abolishing fossil fuels means
disrupting our transportation system
disrupting our transportation system
124
426560
6296
Ukidanje fosilnih goriva znači
poremetiti naš sustav prijevoza
poremetiti naš sustav prijevoza
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 pogoniti naše aute,
autobuse i vlakove strujom,
autobuse i vlakove strujom,
07:30
instead of dirty energy.
126
438240
1480
umjesto prljavom energijom.
07:32
And transportation, let me tell you,
127
440400
2416
I prijevoz, dopustite da vam kažem,
07:34
has become an existential issue
for us Costa Ricans,
for us Costa Ricans,
128
442840
4056
postao je egzistencijalno pitanje
za nas Kostarikance
za nas Kostarikance
07:38
because the model we have
is not working for us.
is not working for us.
129
446920
2416
jer model koji imamo ne radi za nas.
07:41
It's hurting people,
130
449360
1240
Šteti ljudima.
07:43
it's hurting companies,
131
451480
1736
Šteti tvrtkama,
07:45
and it's hurting our health.
132
453240
1976
i šteti našem zdravlju.
07:47
Because when policies
and infrastructure fail,
and infrastructure fail,
133
455240
4736
JerZato što kada politike
i infrastruktura ne uspiju,
i infrastruktura ne uspiju,
07:52
this is what happens on a daily basis.
134
460000
3240
ovo se događa na dnevnoj bazi.
07:56
Two hours in the morning,
135
464800
1576
Dva sata ujutro,
07:58
two hours in the evening.
136
466400
1816
dva sata navečer.
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 shvaćam zašto
ovo trebamo prihvatiti kao normalno.
ovo trebamo prihvatiti 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
trošiti naše vrijeme na ovakav način
svakoga dana.
svakoga dana.
08:11
And this highway is actually quite good
140
479920
1896
A ova autocesta je zapravo dobra
08:13
compared to what you see
in other countries
in other countries
141
481840
2056
u usporedbi s onim
što vidite drugdje
što vidite drugdje
08:15
where traffic is exploding.
142
483920
1440
gdje je promet eksplodirao.
08:18
You know, Costa Ricans call this "presa."
143
486000
2280
Kostarikanci ovo zovu "presa".
08:21
Presa means "imprisoned."
144
489280
1920
Što znači "zatvoren".
08:24
And people are turning violent
145
492360
2976
I 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 sretna
u čistom životu.
u čistom životu.
08:32
It's happening.
147
500040
1240
To se događa.
08:33
So a lot is at stake.
148
501880
1360
Tako da je puno na kocki.
08:36
The good news
149
504560
1856
Dobre vijesti su
08:38
is that when we talk
about clean transportation
about clean transportation
150
506440
3016
da možemo pričati o
čistom prijevozu
čistom prijevozu
08:41
and different mobility,
151
509480
1256
i drugačijoj mobilnosti,
08:42
we're not talking about
some distant utopia out there.
some distant utopia out there.
152
510760
5015
ne govorimo o nekoj udaljenoj
utopiji.
utopiji.
08:47
We're talking about electric mobility
that is happening today.
that is happening today.
153
515799
3760
Govorimo o elektirčnoj mobilnosti
koja se događa danas.
koja se događa danas.
08:53
By 2022, electric cars
and conventional cars
and conventional cars
154
521039
5457
Do 2022. električni auti
i obični automobili
i obični automobili
08:58
are expected to cost the same,
155
526520
2080
koštat će jednako,
09:01
and cities are already trying
electric buses.
electric buses.
156
529520
3360
i gradovi već isprobavaju
električne buseve.
električne buseve.
09:05
And these really cool creatures
157
533800
2040
I ova zanimljiva bića
09:08
are saving money,
158
536760
1200
štede novac
09:11
and they reduce pollution.
159
539000
1760
i smanjuju onečišćenje.
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 se želimo riješiti svog prijevoza
na naftu, to možemo napraviti
na naftu, to možemo napraviti
09:17
because we have options now
that we didn't have before.
that we didn't have before.
161
545480
2616
jer imamo opcije koje prije nismo imali.
09:20
It's really exciting.
162
548120
1280
To je zaista 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 je jako neugodno zbog ove ideje
09:29
and they will come and they will tell you
165
557760
3176
i doći će i reći će vam
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 je svijet zaglavio s naftom,
kao I Costa Rica, budimo realni.
kao I Costa Rica, budimo realni.
09:37
That's what they tell you.
167
565800
1256
To je ono što će vam reči.
09:39
And you know what the answer
to that argument is?
to that argument is?
168
567080
2336
I znate koji je odgovor u toj raspravi?
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 je svijet zaglavio s vojskama
da je svijet zaglavio s vojskama
09:45
so let's keep our army, too.
170
573040
1936
pa ćemo zadržati svoju.
09:47
No, we made a very brave choice,
171
575000
2960
Ne, mi smo napravili hrabar izbor
09:50
and that choice made the whole difference.
172
578640
2200
i taj izbor je napravio svu razliku.
09:53
So it's time for this generation
to be brave again
to be brave again
173
581600
4376
Vrijeme je da ova generacija
ponovno bude hrabra
ponovno bude hrabra
09:58
and abolish fossil fuels for good.
174
586000
1776
i zauvijek ukine 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
I dat ću vam tri razloga
zašto to moramo učiniti.
zašto to moramo učiniti.
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 prijevoza
i urbanizacije je loš,
i urbanizacije je loš,
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
tako da je ovo najbolji trenutak
da redefiniramo našu budućnost u tome.
da redefiniramo našu budućnost u tome.
10:14
We don't want cities
that are built for cars.
that are built for cars.
179
602520
2816
Ne želimo gradove izgrađene 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
gdje može hodati i koristiti bicikle.
10:23
And we want public transportation,
182
611600
2136
I želimo javni prijevoz,
10:25
lots of it,
183
613760
1496
puno javnog prijevoza,
10:27
public transportation
that is clean and dignifying.
that is clean and dignifying.
184
615280
3040
javnog prijevoza koji je čist
i dostojanstven.
i dostojanstven.
10:31
Because if we continue
adding fleets of conventional cars,
adding fleets of conventional cars,
185
619200
3920
Zato što, ako nastavimo dodavati
flote konvencionalnih automobila,
flote konvencionalnih automobila,
10:36
our cities will become unbearable.
186
624760
2200
naši gradovi postat će nepodnošljivi.
10:40
Second, we have to change,
187
628000
1736
Drugo, moramo se promijeniti,
10:41
but incremental change
is not going to be sufficient.
is not going to be sufficient.
188
629760
3480
ali inkrementalna promjena
neće biti dovoljna.
neće biti dovoljna.
10:46
We need transformational change.
189
634720
2040
Trebamo transformacijsku promjenu.
10:49
And there are some
incremental projects in my country,
incremental projects in my country,
190
637600
2856
I postoje neki inkrementalni
projekti u zemlji
projekti u zemlji
10:52
and I am the first one to celebrate them.
191
640480
2200
i ja sam prva koja će 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 završimo
s predivnim električnim automobilima
s predivnim električnim automobilima
11:02
and a few electric buses there
194
650120
2616
i par električnih buseva
11:04
while we keep investing
in the same kind of infrastructure,
in the same kind of infrastructure,
195
652760
3376
dok i dalje investiramo u istu
infrastrukturu,
infrastrukturu,
11:08
more cars, more roads, more oil.
196
656160
2496
više automobila, više cesta, više nafte.
11:10
We're talking about
breaking free from oil,
breaking free from oil,
197
658680
4296
Pričamo o oslobođenju od nafte,
11:15
and you cannot get there
through incrementalism.
through incrementalism.
198
663000
3320
i ne možete tamo doći inkrementacijom.
11:20
Third, and you know this one,
199
668360
3160
Treće, i ovo znate,
11:25
the world is hungry for inspiration.
200
673080
3600
svijet je željan inspiracije.
11:30
It craves stories of success
201
678120
3096
Žudi za pričama uspjeha
11:33
in dealing with complex issues,
202
681240
1776
u borbi sa složenim problemima,
11:35
especially in developing countries.
203
683040
3120
osobito 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
Vjerujem da bi Costa Rica mogla biti
inspiracija drugima,
inspiracija drugima,
11:43
as we did last year when we disclosed
205
691720
2736
kao prošle godine kada smo otkrili
11:46
that for so many days
we were not using any fossil fuels
we were not using any fossil fuels
206
694480
3976
koliko dana nismo koristili fosilna goriva
11:50
in order to generate all our electricity.
207
698480
4856
kako bismo proizveli električnu energiju.
11:55
The news went viral around the world.
208
703360
3360
Vijest je postala viralna diljem svijeta.
11:59
Also, and this makes me extremely proud,
209
707640
3096
Također, a ovo me čini iznimno ponosnom,
12:02
a Costa Rican woman, Christiana Figueres,
210
710760
3840
žena s Costa Rice, Christiana Figueres,
12:07
played a decisive role in the negotiations
of the Paris climate agreement.
of the Paris climate agreement.
211
715480
5800
imala je odlučujuću ulogu u pregovorima
za Pariški sporazum o klimi.
za Pariški sporazum o klimi.
12:14
So we have to protect that legacy
and be an example.
and be an example.
212
722600
3720
Tako da moramo zaštiti to nasljeđe
i biti primjer.
i biti primjer.
12:19
So what comes next?
213
727400
1800
Što dolazi sljedeće?
12:22
The people.
214
730240
1280
Ljudi.
12:24
How do we get people to own this?
215
732280
2560
Kako učiniti ljude vlasnicima ovoga?
12:27
How do we get people
216
735760
2096
Kako ljude
12:29
to believe that it's possible
217
737880
2416
uvjeriti da je moguće
12:32
to build a society without fossil fuels?
218
740320
2640
graditi 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 puno posla od temelja.
12:41
That is why, in 2014,
we created Costa Rica Limpia.
we created Costa Rica Limpia.
220
749120
3520
Zato smo 2014. stvorili Costa Rica Limpia.
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 osnažiti i inspirirati građane.
12:52
If citizens don't get engaged,
223
760760
2920
Ako se građani ne uključe,
12:57
clean transportation decisions
will be bogged down by endless,
will be bogged down by endless,
224
765080
4656
odluke o čistom prijevozu
biti će zagušene beskrajnim,
biti će zagušene beskrajnim,
13:01
and I mean endless, technical discussions,
225
769760
2976
i mislim beskrajnim, tehničkim raspravama
13:04
and by avalanches of lobbying
by various established interests.
by various established interests.
226
772760
4280
i lavinom lobiranja od strane
različitih interesenata.
različitih interesenata.
13:12
Wanting to be a green country
powered by renewables
powered by renewables
227
780720
3856
Htjeti biti zelena zemlja
pogonjena obnovljivim izvorima energije
pogonjena obnovljivim izvorima energije
13:16
is already part of our story.
228
784600
2576
već je dio naše priče.
13:19
We should not let anybody
take that away from us.
take that away from us.
229
787200
2680
Ne smijemo dopustiti
da nam to itko oduzme.
da nam to itko oduzme.
13:24
Last year, we brought people
from our seven provinces
from our seven provinces
230
792080
4456
Prošle godine, doveli smo ljude
iz naših sedam provincija kako
iz naših sedam provincija kako
13:28
to talk about climate change
in terms that matter to them,
in terms that matter to them,
231
796560
3240
bismo pričali o klimatskim promjenama
na način koji je njima važan
na način koji je njima važan
13:32
and we also brought this year
232
800720
2896
i ove godine doveli smo
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 bismo pričali o obnovljivoj energiji.
13:39
And you know what?
235
807840
1256
I znate što?
13:41
These people disagree on almost everything
236
809120
2256
Ovi ljudi se ne slažu oko ničega
13:43
except on renewable energy
237
811400
2656
osim obnovljive energije
13:46
and clean transportation and clean air.
238
814080
2096
i čistog prijevoza i zraka.
13:48
It brings people together.
239
816200
1976
To zbližava ljude.
13:50
And the key to real participation
240
818200
2856
I ključ za stvarno sudjelovanje
13:53
is to help people not to feel small.
241
821080
2216
je pomoći ljudima
da se ne osjećaju maleni.
da se ne osjećaju maleni.
13:55
People feel powerless,
242
823320
1296
Ljudi se osjećaju
13:56
and they are tired of not being heard.
243
824640
2320
bespomoćno i dosta im je da ih se ne čuje.
14:01
So what we do is concrete things,
244
829000
2376
Ono što činimo su 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
kako bi pokazali kakvu ulogu igraju
i kako je mogu igrati skupa.
i kako je mogu igrati skupa.
14:12
For the first time, we're tracking
the promises that were made
the promises that were made
247
840480
3216
Prvi puta pratimo obećanja koja su dana
14:15
on clean transportation,
248
843720
1496
vezano uz čisti prijevoz,
14:17
and politicos know
that they have to deliver it,
that they have to deliver it,
249
845240
2616
i političari znaju da ih moraju ispuniti,
14:19
but the tipping point will come
when we form coalitions --
when we form coalitions --
250
847880
3000
ali prijelomna točka nastupit će
kada formiramo suradnje --
kada formiramo suradnje --
14:23
citizens, companies,
251
851960
1856
građani, tvrtke,
14:25
champions of public transportation --
252
853840
2176
predvodnici javnog prijevoza --
14:28
that will make electric mobility
the new normal,
the new normal,
253
856040
2776
koji će električnu mobilnost
učiniti novim standardom,
učiniti novim standardom,
14:30
especially in a developing country.
254
858840
2360
posebno u zemlji u razvoju.
14:34
By the time the next election comes,
255
862560
3696
Do sljedećih izbora,
14:38
I believe every candidate
will have to disclose where they stand
will have to disclose where they stand
256
866280
3416
vjerujem da će svaki kandidat
morati otkriti kakav stav imaju
morati otkriti kakav stav imaju
14:41
on the abolition of fossil fuels.
257
869720
1896
po pitanju ukidanja fosilnih goriva.
14:43
Because this question
has to enter our mainstream politics.
has to enter our mainstream politics.
258
871640
3800
Jer ovo pitanje mora ući
u našu glavnu politiku.
u našu glavnu politiku.
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
I govorim vam,
ovo nije pitanje politike o klimi
ovo nije pitanje politike o klimi
14:52
or environmental agenda.
260
880000
1760
ili programa za okoliš.
14:54
It's about the country that we want
