I never thought that I would be giving my TED Talk somewhere like this.

Nikada nisam mislio da ću držati svoj TED govor na mjestu poput ovog.

But, like half of humanity,

No, poput polovice čovječanstva,

I've spent the last four weeks under lockdown

posljednjih sam četiri tjedna proveo zatvoren

due to the global pandemic created by COVID-19.

uslijed globalne pandemije koju je izazvao COVID-19.

I am extremely fortunate that during this time

Imam iznimnu sreću da sam za ovo vrijeme

I've been able to come here to these woods near my home in southern England.

mogao doći u ovu šumu blizu mog doma u južnoj Engleskoj.

These woods have always inspired me,

Ova me šuma uvijek inspirirala,

and as humanity now tries to think about how we can find the inspiration

a kako je sada čovječanstvo u potrazi za načinima na koje možemo naći inspiraciju

to retake control of our actions

za ponovno preuzimanje kontrole nad našim djelima

so that terrible things don't come down the road

kako nas užasne stvari ne bi snašle

without us taking action to avert them,

bez da poduzmemo nešto i spriječimo ih,

I thought this is a good place for us to talk.

pomislio sam kako je ovo dobro mjesto za naš razgovor.

And I'd like to begin that story six years ago,

A započeo bih s pričom prije šest godina,

when I had first joined the United Nations.

kada sam se prvi put priključio Ujedinjenim narodima.

Now, I firmly believe that the UN is of unparalleled importance

Dakle, čvrsto vjerujem kako je UN od neusporedive važnosti

in the world right now

trenutno u svijetu

to promote collaboration and cooperation.

u promicanju zajedništva i suradnje.

No ono što ti ne kažu kada se pridružiš

But what they don't tell you when you join

is that this essential work is delivered

jest kako je taj ključan rad ostvaren

mainly in the form of extremely boring meetings --

pretežno u obliku neizmjerno dosadnih sastanaka,

extremely long, boring meetings.

neizmjerno dugačkih, dosadnih sastanaka.

Now, you may feel that you have attended some long, boring meetings in your life,

I sad, možda mislite kako ste već bili na nekim dugim, dosadnim sastancima,

and I'm sure you have.

i siguran sam da jeste.

But these UN meetings are next-level,

Ali ovi su UN sastanci sasvim druga priča

and everyone who works there approaches them with a level of calm

i svi koji tamo rade im pristupaju s onom dozom smirenosti

normally only achieved by Zen masters.

koju obično mogu doseći samo Zen majstori.

But myself, I wasn't ready for that.

Ja, međutim, nisam bio spreman na to.

I joined expecting drama and tension and breakthrough.

Pridružio sam se očekujući dramu i napetost i nova rješenja.

What I wasn't ready for

Na što nisam bio spreman

was a process that seemed to move at the speed of a glacier,

bio je proces za koji mi se činilo da se kreće brzinom ledenjaka,

at the speed that a glacier used to move at.

brzinom kojom su se ledenjaci prije kretali.

Now, in the middle of one of these long meetings,

Pa, usred jednog takvog dugog sastanka,

I was handed a note.

dobio sam poruku.

And it was handed to me by my friend and colleague and coauthor,

Uručila mi ju je prijateljica, suradnica i koautorica,

Christiana Figueres.

Christiana Figueres.

Christiana was the Executive Secretary

Christiana je bila izvršna tajnica

of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change,

UN-ove Okvirne konvencije o klimatskim promjenama,

and as such, had overall responsibility

te je, kao takva, imala potpunu odgovornost

for the UN reaching what would become the Paris Agreement.

da UN postigne ono što će kasnije postati Pariški sporazum.

I was running political strategy for her.

Vodio sam političku strategiju za nju.

So when she handed me this note,

Dakle, kada mi je dala tu poruku,

I assumed that it would contain detailed political instructions

pretpostavio sam da sadrži detaljne političke upute

about how we were going to get out of this nightmare quagmire

o tome kako ćemo se izvući iz ove stravične kaljuže

that we seemed to be trapped in.

u kojoj smo, čini se, zaglavili.

I took the note and looked at it.

Uzeo sam tu poruku i pogledao je.

It said, "Painful.

Pisalo je: "Naporno.

But let's approach with love!"

No hajmo pristupiti s ljubavlju!"

Now, I love this note for lots of reasons.

Volim tu poruku iz mnogo razloga.

I love the way the little tendrils are coming out from the word "painful."

Volim način na koje male vitice izlaze iz riječi "naporno" [painful].

It was a really good visual depiction of how I felt at that moment.

Bio je to dobar vizualni prikaz onoga kako sam se osjećao u tom trenutku.

But I particularly love it because as I looked at it,

No osobito sam je volio jer sam, kako sam je gledao,

I realized that it was a political instruction,

shvatio da to i jest bila politička uputa,

and that if we were going to be successful,

te da ako ćemo biti uspješni,

this was how we were going to do it.

to je kako ćemo to ostvariti.

So let me explain that.

Pustite me da objasnim.

What I'd been feeling in those meetings was actually about control.

Ono što sam zapravo osjećao na tim sastancima bilo je o kontroli.

I had moved my life from Brooklyn in New York to Bonn in Germany

Preselio sam svoj život iz Brooklyna u New Yorku u Bonn u Njemačkoj

with the extremely reluctant support of my wife.

s izrazito suzdržanom podrškom moje žene.

My children were now in a school where they couldn't speak the language,

Djeca mi sada idu u školu u kojoj ne znaju jezik

and I thought the deal for all this disruption to my world

i mislio sam da je ću, uz sav ovaj rascjep u mom svijetu,

was that I would have some degree of control over what was going to happen.

imati kontrolu, do neke mjere, nad onim što će se dogoditi.

I felt for years that the climate crisis is the defining challenge

Godinama sam osjećao da je klimatska kriza jasno utvrđen izazov

of our generation,

naše generacije,

and here I was, ready to play my part and do something for humanity.

i bio sam tamo, spreman da odigram svoju ulogu i učinim nešto za čovječanstvo.

But I put my hands on the levers of control that I'd been given

Ali stavio sam ruke na poluge za kontrolu koje su mi dali

and pulled them,

povukao sam ih,

and nothing happened.

i ništa se nije dogodilo.

I realized the things I could control were menial day-to-day things.

Shvatio sam da su stvari koje mogu kontrolirati obične, svakodnevne stvari.

"Do I ride my bike to work?" and "Where do I have lunch?",

"Idem li biciklom na posao?" te "Gdje ručam?",

whereas the things that were going to determine

dok su stvari koje će odrediti

whether we were going to be successful

hoćemo li biti uspješni

were issues like, "Will Russia wreck the negotiations?"

bile pitanja poput: "Hoće li Rusija upropastiti pregovore?"

"Will China take responsibility for their emissions?"

"Hoće li Kina postati odgovorna za svoje emisije?"

"Will the US help poorer countries deal with their burden of climate change?"

"Hoće li SAD pomoći siromašnijim državama nositi se s teretima klimatskih promjena?"

The differential felt so huge,

Razlika se činila tako ogromnom

I could see no way I could bridge the two.

da se činilo kako ne postoji način da se premosti.

It felt futile.

Činilo se uzaludnim.

I began to feel that I'd made a mistake.

Počeo sam se osjećati kao da sam pogriješio.

I began to get depressed.

Postajao sam depresivan.

But even in that moment,

No čak sam i u tom trenutku

I realized that what I was feeling had a lot of similarities

shvatio da taj osjećaj ima puno sličnosti onome

to what I'd felt when I first found out about the climate crisis years before.

kako sam se osjećao kada sam prvi put saznao o klimatskoj krizi godinama prije.

I'd spent many of my most formative years as a Buddhist monk

Proveo sam većinu svojih formativnih godina kao budistički redovnik

in my early 20s,

u ranim dvadesetima,

but I left the monastic life, because even then, 20 years ago,

ali napustio sam redovnički život, jer čak i onda, prije 20 godina,

I felt that the climate crisis was already a quickly unfolding emergency

osjećao sam da je klimatska kriza već hitan slučaj koji brzo napreduje

and I wanted to do my part.

te sam želio odraditi svoj dio.

But once I'd left and I rejoined the world,

Kad sam otišao i opet se uključio u svijet,

I looked at what I could control.

tražio sam ono što mogu kontrolirati.

It was the few tons of my own emissions and that of my immediate family,

Bilo je to nekoliko tona mojih vlastitih emisija te onih od moje uže obitelji,

which political party I voted for every few years,

za koju političku stranku glasam svakih nekoliko godina,

whether I went on a march or two.

idem li na pokoji prosvjed.

And then I looked at the issues that would determine the outcome,

I tada sam potražio probleme koji će odrediti ishod,

and they were big geopolitical negotiations,

a to su bili veliki geopolitički pregovori,

massive infrastructure spending plans,

golema infrastruktura planova potrošnje,

what everybody else did.

ono što rade ostali.

The differential again felt so huge

Razlika mi se ponovno učinila tako ogromnom

that I couldn't see any way that I could bridge it.

da mi se nije činilo kako je mogu premostiti.

I kept trying to take action,

I dalje sam se trudio poduzeti nešto,

but it didn't really stick.

no nije se zadržalo.

It felt futile.

Činilo se uzaludnim.

Now, we know that this can be a common experience for many people,

Sad, znamo da je ovo iskustvo zajedničko mnogim ljudima,

and maybe you have had this experience.

i možda ste vi imali ovo isto iskustvo.

When faced with an enormous challenge

Kada se suočimo s ogromnim izazovom

that we don't feel we have any agency or control over,

za koji nemamo osjećaj da njime upravljamo ili imamo kontrolu,

our mind can do a little trick to protect us.

naš nas um može prevariti kako bi nas zaštitio.

We don't like to feel like we're out of control

Ne volimo se osjećati kao da nemamo kontrolu

facing big forces,

pri suočavanju s velikim silama,

so our mind will tell us, "Maybe it's not that important.

tada će nam naš um reći: "Možda nije tako važno.

Maybe it's not happening in the way that people say, anyway."

Možda se ipak ne događa baš tako kako ljudi pričaju."

Or, it plays down our own role.

Ili pak podcjenjuje našu ulogu u tome.

"There's nothing that you individually can do, so why try?"

"Nema ničega što ti, sam, možeš učiniti, zašto onda pokušati?"

But there's something odd going on here.

No događa se nešto neobično.

Is it really true that humans will only take sustained and dedicated action

Je li stvarno istina da ljudi posvete vrijeme i djeluju kontinuirano

on an issue of paramount importance

na probleme od najviše važnosti

when they feel they have a high degree of control?

kada osjećaju da imaju visok stupanj kontrole?

Look at these pictures.

Pogledajte ove slike.

These people are caregivers and nurses

Ovi su ljudi njegovatelji i bolničari

who have been helping humanity face the coronavirus COVID-19

koji pomažu čovječanstvu u borbi protiv koronavirusa

as it has swept around the world as a pandemic in the last few months.

koji je pomeo svijet u obliku pandemije u posljednjih nekoliko mjeseci.

Are these people able to prevent the spread of the disease?

Mogu li oni spriječiti širenje bolesti?

No.

Ne.

Are they able to prevent their patients from dying?

Mogu li oni spriječiti smrti njihovih pacijenata?

Some, they will have been able to prevent,

Neke će moći spriječiti,

but others, it will have been beyond their control.

no neke će biti van njihove kontrole.

Does that make their contribution futile and meaningless?

Čini li to njihov doprinos uzaludnim i beznačajnim?

Actually, it's offensive even to suggest that.

Zapravo je uvredljivo čak i sugerirati to.

What they are doing is caring for their fellow human beings

Oni brinu o drugim ljudskim bićima

at their moment of greatest vulnerability.

u trenucima njihove najveće ranjivosti.

And that work has huge meaning,

I ta je briga izrazito važna,

to the point where I only have to show you those pictures

toliko da vam samo moram pokazati ove slike

for it to become evident

da postane očito

that the courage and humanity those people are demonstrating

kako hrabrost i ljudskost koje ovi ljudi pokazuju

makes their work some of the most meaningful things

čine njihov rad jednom od najznačajnijih stvari

that can be done as human beings,

koju, kao ljudi, možemo činiti,

even though they can't control the outcome.

iako je ishod izvan njihove kontrole.

Now, that's interesting,

Sad, to je zanimljivo,

because it shows us that humans are capable

jer nam pokazuje da su ljudi sposobni

of taking dedicated and sustained action,

posvetiti vrijeme i djelovati kontinuirano

even when they can't control the outcome.

čak i kada je ishod izvan njihove kontrole.

But it leaves us with another challenge.

To nam zadaje i drugi izazov.

With the climate crisis,

U klimatskoj krizi,

the action that we take is separated from the impact of it,

ono što činimo sada, odvojeno je od utjecaja koji ima,

whereas what is happening with these images

dok istovremeno ono što se događa na slikama

is these nurses are being sustained not by the lofty goal of changing the world

jest da bolničari ne nastavljaju zbog uzvišenog cilja spašavanja svijeta,

but by the day-to-day satisfaction of caring for another human being

nego zbog svakodnevnog zadovoljstva brige za drugo ljudsko biće

through their moments of weakness.

u trenucima njihove slabosti.

With the climate crisis, we have this huge separation.

S klimatskom krizom imamo ogromno razdvajanje.

It used to be that we were separated by time.

Prije smo bili razdvojeni vremenom.

The impacts of the climate crisis were supposed to be way off in the future.

Utjecaji klimatske krize trebali su biti u dalekoj budućnosti.

But right now, the future has come to meet us.

No sad nas je budućnost sustigla.

Continents are on fire.

Kontinenti gore.

Cities are going underwater.

Gradovi postepeno tonu.

Countries are going underwater.

Kontinenti postepeno tonu.

Hundreds of thousands of people are on the move as a result of climate change.

Stotine tisuća ljudi mora seliti zbog učinaka klimatskih promjena.

But even if those impacts are no longer separated from us by time,

No, čak i sada, kada ti učinci nisu više razdvojeni vremenom od nas,

they're still separated from us in a way that makes it difficult to feel

još su uvijek razdvojeni time da je teško osjetiti

that direct connection.

izravnu poveznicu.

They happen somewhere else to somebody else

To se događa negdje drugdje nekom drugom

or to us in a different way than we're used to experiencing it.

ili nama na drugačiji način no što smo navikli to doživljavati.

So even though that story of the nurse demonstrates something to us

Tako da iako nam priča bolničara nešto pokazuje

about human nature,

o ljudskoj prirodi,

we're going to have find a different way

pronaći ćemo drugačiji način

of dealing with the climate crisis in a sustained manner.

da se nosimo s klimatskom krizom na održiv način.

There is a way that we can do this,

Postoji način da to učinimo,

a powerful combination of a deep and supporting attitude

snažnom kombinacijom dubokog stava popraćenog podržavanjem

that when combined with consistent action

koji, u kombinaciji s dosljednim djelovanjem,

can enable whole societies to take dedicated action in a sustained way

može omogućiti čitava društva da se posvete kontinuiranom djelovanju

towards a shared goal.

prema zajedničkom cilju.

It's been used to great effect throughout history.

To je bilo vrlo učinkovito kroz povijest.

So let me give you a historical story to explain it.

Dopustite mi da vam objasnim pomoću povijesne priče.

Right now, I am standing in the woods near my home in southern England.

Trenutno stojim u šumi u blizini mog doma u južnoj Engleskoj.

And these particular woods are not far from London.

Ta konkretna šuma nije daleko od Londona.

Eighty years ago, that city was under attack.

Prije osamdeset godina, taj je grad bio napadnut.

In the late 1930s,

U kasnim 1930-ima,

the people of Britain would do anything to avoid facing the reality

stanovnici Britanije učinili bi sve kako bi izbjegli suočiti se sa stvarnošću

that Hitler would stop at nothing to conquer Europe.

da Hitlera ništa neće spriječiti da osvoji Europu.

Fresh with memories from the First World War,

Svježim sjećanjem na Prvi svjetski rat

they were terrified of Nazi aggression

bili su prestravljeni nacističke agresije

and would do anything to avoid facing that reality.

i bili su spremni na sve da izbjegnu suočavanje sa stvarnošću.

In the end, the reality broke through.

Na kraju se stvarnost probila.

Churchill is remembered for many things, and not all of them positive,

Churchill je ostao upamćen po mnogočemu, od čega sve nije bilo pozitivno,

but what he did in those early days of the war

no ono što je učinio u prvim danima rata

was he changed the story the people of Britain told themselves

jest to da je promijenio priču koju su si stanovnici Britanije ponavljali

about what they were doing and what was to come.

o onome što rade i što će se dogoditi.

Where previously there had been trepidation and nervousness and fear,

Tamo gdje su prije bili strepnja i napetost i strah,

there came a calm resolve,

pristigla je smirena odlučnost,

an island alone,

sam otok,

a greatest hour,

najvažniji trenutak,

a greatest generation,

najvažnija generacija,

a country that would fight them on the beaches and in the hills

država koja će se boriti na plažama i brdima

and in the streets,

i na ulicama,

a country that would never surrender.

država koja nikada neće odustati.

That change from fear and trepidation

Ta promjena od straha i strepnje

to facing the reality, whatever it was and however dark it was,

prema suočavanju sa stvarnošću, kakva god bila, koliko god mračna,

had nothing to do with the likelihood of winning the war.

nije imala nikakve veze s vjerojatnošću pobjede u ratu.

There was no news from the front that battles were going better

Nije bilo novosti s bojišta da se bitke poboljšavaju,

or even at that point that a powerful new ally had joined the fight

tada čak niti da se moćan novi saveznik pridružio borbi

and changed the odds in their favor.

i promijenio šanse u njihovu korist.

It was simply a choice.

To je jednostavno bio odabir.

A deep, determined, stubborn form of optimism emerged,

Pojavio se dubok, odlučan, nepopustljiv oblik optimizma,

not avoiding or denying the darkness that was pressing in

koji nije izbjegavao ili poricao tamu koja je pritiskala,

but refusing to be cowed by it.

ali koji je odbio biti zastrašen.

That stubborn optimism is powerful.

Taj je nepopustljiv optimizam moćan.

It is not dependent on assuming that the outcome is going to be good

Nije ovisan o pretpostavci da će ishod biti dobar

or having a form of wishful thinking about the future.

niti je on oblik čeznutljivog razmišljanja o budućnosti.

However, what it does is it animates action

Međutim, ono što on radi jest da pokreće djelovanje

and infuses it with meaning.

te mu ulijeva značenje.

We know that from that time,

To znamo iz onog vremena,

despite the risk and despite the challenge,

bez obzira na rizik i bez obzira na izazov,

it was a meaningful time full of purpose,

bilo je to značajno vrijeme ispunjeno svrhom,

and multiple accounts have confirmed

a mnoge su priče potvrdile

that actions that ranged from pilots in the Battle of Britain

da su postupci pilota u Bitci za Britaniju

to the simple act of pulling potatoes from the soil

pa sve do najjednostavnijeg vađenja krumpira iz zemlje

became infused with meaning.

postali prožeti značenjem.

They were animated towards a shared purpose and a shared outcome.

Bili su usmjereni prema zajedničkoj svrsi i zajedničkom ishodu.

We have seen that throughout history.

To se moglo vidjeti kroz povijest.

This coupling of a deep and determined stubborn optimism with action,

Sparivanje dubokog i odlučnog, nepopustljivog optimizma s djelovanjem,

when the optimism leads to a determined action,

kada optimizam vodi prema odlučnom djelovanju,

then they can become self-sustaining:

oni mogu postati nezavisni:

without the stubborn optimism, the action doesn't sustain itself;

bez nepopustljivog optimizma, djelovanje samo sebe ne može održati;

without the action, the stubborn optimism is just an attitude.

bez djelovanja, nepopustljiv optimizam je samo stav.

The two together can transform an entire issue and change the world.

Zajedno mogu preobraziti cijelo pitanje i promijeniti svijet.

We saw this at multiple other times.

To smo vidjeli više puta.

We saw it when Rosa Parks refused to get up from the bus.

Vidjeli smo to kada je Rosa Parks odbila ustupiti svoje mjesto.

We saw it in Gandhi's long salt marches to the beach.

Vidjeli smo to u Gandhijevim "marševima soli" do plaže.

We saw it when the suffragettes said that "Courage calls to courage everywhere."

Vidjeli smo to kada su sufražetkinje rekle: "hrabrost poziva na hrabrost svugdje."

And we saw it when Kennedy said that within 10 years,

I vidjeli smo to kada je Kennedy rekao kako će kroz 10 godina

he would put a man on the moon.

staviti čovjeka na Mjesec.

That electrified a generation and focused them on a shared goal

To je oduševilo generaciju i usredotočilo ih na zajednički cilj

against a dark and frightening adversary,

protiv mračnog i zastrašujućeg protivnika,

even though they didn't know how they would achieve it.

iako nisu znali kako će ga postići.

In each of these cases,

U svakom od ovih slučajeva,

a realistic and gritty but determined, stubborn optimism

realističan i odvažan, ali odlučan, nepopustljiv optimizam

was not the result of success.

nije bio rezultat uspjeha.

It was the cause of it.

Bio je njegov uzrok.

That is also how the transformation happened

To je također kako se dogodio preobražaj

on the road to the Paris Agreement.

na putu prema Pariškom sporazumu.

Those challenging, difficult, pessimistic meetings transformed

Ti su se izazovni, zahtjevni, pesimistični sastanci mijenjali

as more and more people decided that this was our moment to dig in

kako je sve više ljudi odlučilo da je ovo naš trenutak da navalimo

and determine that we would not drop the ball on our watch,

i odlučimo kako nećemo uprskati stvari dok smo tu,

and we would deliver the outcome that we knew was possible.

te da ćemo postići ishod za koji smo znali da je moguć.

More and more people transformed themselves to that perspective

Sve se više ljudi okrenulo toj perspektivi

and began to work,

te su počeli raditi,

and in the end, that worked its way up into a wave of momentum

a na kraju je otišlo do vrha i uzelo si zamah

that crashed over us

koji se urušio nad nama

and delivered many of those challenging issues

i donio mnogo onih izazovnih problema

with a better outcome than we could possibly have imagined.

koji su imali bolje ishode nego što smo mogli zamisliti.

And even now, years later and with a climate denier in the White House,

Čak i sada, godinama poslije zbog poricanja klimatskih promjena u Bijeloj kući,

much that was put in motion in those days is still unfolding,

mnogo toga što je pokrenuto onih dana, još se razvija,

and we have everything to play for in the coming months and years

a sve su opcije otvorene u nadolazećim mjesecima i godinama

on dealing with the climate crisis.

pri suočavanju s klimatskom krizom.

So right now, we are coming through one of the most challenging periods

Trenutno se probijamo kroz jedan od najizazovnijih razdoblja

in the lives of most of us.

u životima mnogih od nas.

The global pandemic has been frightening,

Globalna pandemija bila je zastrašujuća,

whether personal tragedy has been involved or not.

bilo da je uključivala osobnu tragediju ili ne.

But it has also shaken our belief that we are powerless

No također je potresla i naše uvjerenje da smo nemoćni

in the face of great change.

pri suočavanju s velikom promjenom.

In the space of a few weeks,

U razmaku od par tjedana

we mobilized to the point where half of humanity took drastic action

pokrenuli smo se toliko da je polovica čovječanstva poduzela drastične mjere

to protect the most vulnerable.

kako bi se najugroženiji zaštitili.

If we're capable of that,

Ako smo sposobni za to,

maybe we have not yet tested the limits of what humanity can do

možda nismo još ispitali granice mogućnosti ljudi

when it rises to meet a shared challenge.

kada se treba suočiti sa zajedničkim izazovom.

We now need to move beyond this narrative of powerlessness,

Sada moramo nadići priče o nemoći,

because make no mistake --

jer, budite sigurni --

the climate crisis will be orders of magnitude worse than the pandemic

klimatska kriza bit će mnogo gora od pandemije

if we do not take the action that we can still take

ako ne poduzmemo mjere koje još možemo poduzeti

to avert the tragedy that we see coming towards us.

kako bismo spriječili tragediju za koju znamo da dolazi.

We can no longer afford the luxury of feeling powerless.

Ne možemo si više priuštiti luksuz da se osjećamo nemoćno.

The truth is that future generations

Istina je da će se buduće generacije

will look back at this precise moment with awe

osvrtati na ovaj konkretan trenutak sa strahom

as we stand at the crossroads between a regenerative future

dok stojimo na križanju između obnovljene budućnosti

and one where we have thrown it all away.

i one koju smo odbacili.

And the truth is that a lot is going pretty well for us in this transition.

A istina jest da se mnogo toga odvija prilično dobro za nas u ovom prijelazu.

Costs for clean energy are coming down.

Troškovi obnovljive energije padaju.

Cities are transforming. Land is being regenerated.

Gradovi se mijenjaju. Zemlja se obnavlja.

People are on the streets calling for change

Ljudi su na ulicama i bore se za promjene

with a verve and tenacity

sa zanosom i upornošću

we have not seen for a generation.

koje nismo vidjeli generacijama.

Genuine success is possible in this transition,

Pravi je uspjeh moguć u ovom prijelazu,

and genuine failure is possible, too,

ali moguć je i neuspjeh,

which makes this the most exciting time to be alive.

što čini ovo vrijeme najuzbudljivijim za biti živ.

We can take a decision right now that we will approach this challenge

Možemo donijeti odluku upravo sada da ćemo pristupiti ovom izazovu

with a stubborn form of gritty, realistic and determined optimism

nepopustljivim i odvažnim, realističnim i odlučnim optimizmom

and do everything within our power to ensure that we shape the path

te da ćemo učiniti sve u našoj moći kako bismo osigurali da oblikujemo put

as we come out of this pandemic towards a regenerative future.

prema obnovljenoj budućnosti nakon što izađemo iz pandemije.

We can all decide that we will be hopeful beacons for humanity

Svi možemo odlučiti da ćemo biti zvijezde vodilje za čovječanstvo,

even if there are dark days ahead,

iako nam slijede tamni dani,

and we can decide that we will be responsible,

i možemo odlučiti da ćemo biti odgovorni,

we will reduce our own emissions by at least 50 percent

smanjit ćemo naše emisije barem za 50 posto

in the next 10 years,

u sljedećih 10 godina,

and we will take action to engage with governments and corporations

te ćemo poduzeti mjere da uključimo vladu i korporacije

to ensure they do what is necessary coming out of the pandemic

kako bi oni osigurali sve potrebno za izlazak iz epidemije,

to rebuild the world that we want them to.

kako bi oni sagradili svijet kakav mi želimo.

Right now, all of these things are possible.

Trenutno je sve to moguće.

So let's go back to that boring meeting room

Vratimo se sada u onu dosadnu sobu za sastanke

where I'm looking at that note from Christiana.

gdje ja zurim u poruku Christiane.

And looking at it took me back

Zurenje u nju me vratilo

to some of the most transformative experiences of my life.

u neke od iskustava u mom životu koja su me najviše preobratila.

One of the many things I learned as a monk

Jedna od mnogo stvari koje sam naučio kao redovnik

is that a bright mind and a joyful heart is both the path and the goal in life.

bila je da su bistar um i radosno srce i put i cilj u životu.

This stubborn optimism is a form of applied love.

Nepopustljiv optimizam je oblik primijenjene ljubavi.

It is both the world we want to create

On je i svijet koji želimo stvoriti

and the way in which we can create that world.

i način na koji taj svijet možemo stvoriti.

And it is a choice for all of us.

A to je odabir svih nas.

Choosing to face this moment with stubborn optimism

Odabrati suočiti se s ovim trenutkom uz nepopustljiv optimizam

can fill our lives with meaning and purpose,

može ispuniti naše živote smislom i svrhom,

and in doing so, we can put a hand on the arc of history

a čineći to, možemo utjecati na tijek povijesti

and bend it towards the future that we choose.

i preusmjeriti ga k budućnosti koju smo mi odabrali.

Yes, living now feels out of control.

Da, živjeti sad čini se van kontrole.

It feels frightening and scary and new.

Čini se zastrašujuće i jezivo i nepoznato.

But let's not falter at this most crucial of transitions

No nemojmo se kolebati u ovom ključnom prijelazu

that is coming at us right now.

koji nam dolazi.

Let's face it with stubborn and determined optimism.

Suočimo se nepopustljivim i odlučnim optimizmom.

Yes, seeing the changes in the world right now

Da, vidjeti promjene trenutno u svijetu

can be painful.

može biti neugodno.

But let's approach it with love.

No hajmo pristupiti s ljubavlju.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.
