Dear mister prime minister You are one of the most admired person in our region. Thank you very much for the valuable information which I will share with my friends.
I mean, sure, when you're not industrialized and literally one of the last countries to even allow TVs and Internet, sort of an easy thing to do: not much effort required. Are you advocating for their way of life while you use modern technology that could only have been developed through industrialized societies?
@KingIceHunter Exactly, because then corporations will not be able to make billions of money and capitalism/greed will not grow as much. We are much happier and successful than people from Bhutan.
He is my new hero... I am so in awe of how he speaks with intelligence and sincerity and he gets the message across, my only hope is that we take his message with all seriousness and see the extent of how global warming threatens our survival as a species not in the future but now and make a collective move to prevent this disaster as global citizens and not as dependents of governments who use politics strictly for the gain of a few!
Agreed with him I am from uttrakhand India stay near Himalaya.. Last time I visited with my father at our Forest near Himalaya, I seen lot of beautiful lake at same, my Father said to me when we was young these lake didn't exist I couldn't understood? Now we need to work together make our mountain as century ago
This genial monk - earth politician opened my eyes with his talk "this country is carbon negative".. the world needs to study and implement the Bhutan model ASAP! My state Goa has a sacred energyprint like this Himalayan kingdom, but our people have lost the connection to the land, sea, forest and are unable to interpret the warnings from the Universe
@@yeshidiondorji "to subjugate your own desires for the benefit of the greater good of humanity". That was spoken by a Bhutanese monk on a DW channel youtube video
He is talking from a human viewpoint. Global warming is happening, yes, but how much of it is man made? Ask a geologist. Look at carbon deposits in limestone, geological records of co2 and temperature levels( not directly correlated) in our world's 4.5 billion(!) Year history. Then ask a botanist: At what lowest co2 level is plantlife still sustainable? Then ask an astronomer about space weather, planetary warming in our solar system and solar activity records. Now connect the dots and you might find a sensible answer to your question: "who would dislike this video?"
As a bhutanese i have experienced changed in the climate as now every year the weather is getting hotter...Now i see less snows on the moutains as i used to when i was a kid.. Itrs really changing guys we should protect our nature we should make this world a better place for future generation people to live a better and healthy life
Mr Tshering Tobgay is what is called a Prime Minster, a person who listens and actions on behalf of his country. We have egoists leading other countries but what Tobgay commits is convincing. It's an urgent message that many haven't understood still today - because they don't care. Now we have with Mr. Tobgay a person that commits with a global voice - I am deeply impressed by his speech! Thanks
"We must think globally and act regionally... " surely this man deserves to be called 'Leader of the Century'... We must think of what we all can contribute to save planet earth and ourselves... My contribution may be small but i know there's some change that i can and should make after hearing this... So instead of pointing finger, lets join hands and make the change
Why? He admitted it himself that China and India need to step up. They wont. The planet could go green tomorrow but it won't make a difference if the highest polluting countries continue as usual.
@Super Saber You are forgetting the fact that you can't dictate what other countries do, for the most part. The world is far from a global hive mind. To think otherwise is naive. Global action on emissions will do nothing unless the biggest polluters come to the party. Newsflash, they aren't.

I’m from Nepal and I don’t just want to blame the corrupt government for not caring about the environment. It can’t be solved by the government while the intelligent people are not even in the country, every youths who are highly educated are in Australia, USA or other “LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES”. Everyone must stand together we all can help minimize in a huge amount, just using electrical vehicles would make a great difference. So people, it now is not a thing about nations, it is about the WORLD. Stand together and fight along everyone🙏

He is an intellectual person who can represent Bhutan 🇧🇹 at global level and convey the best message for the entire world on environment and its issues
This Mister talks real talk. And his delivery is so great that people (at least for someone easily distracted as me) ends up listening attentively and absorbing carefull hia words. Amazing man! I hope more politicians speak as truthfully as him.
We should give more efforts in spreading climate change awareness across the globe.. Sadly, media does not seriously relay the threats and problems that humanity will have to face in the near future.. It may not kill us yet in our lifetime, but it could be life threatening to our children and our children's children. We have been so abusive and hungry for power and wealth. If we won't stop, who will save us?
The average CO2 emission for living of a person is much more higher in the west than in the east. Yet we suffer the impacts. If we think together as mankind, limit our pp CO2, stop the greed of corporate, focus together to invent renewable energy and elect those political leaders in power, we can save the mother earth. But things are happening in reverse, countries are choosing more nationalistic and ignorant leaders. We will find so many patriots in the world but find very few earth lover as a whole. We are divided for the interest of corporate and political leaders. May be this the beginning of the end...or not?
Md It WAS on course in the 1970's. We WERE using Green Energies, cars, construction, industry, so many things were going toward a healthy planet, with healthy people and animals, and the forests and plant-life would now be thriving instead of dying. The Reagan Error/Era killed all perks and rewards for going Green. Reagan/Republikans killed Green to support the Petro Industry.
Glacier lakes can really wreck havoc. This is so true. Flash flood caused due to a similar lake near the sacred temple Kedarnath in india has taken lives of thousands of pilgrims. Being a native of the Himalayas, I know how majestic and fragile these mountains are. This is so tragic that to make a few people super rich, whole world is bearing the concequences. This needs to change. Help save our earth and our Himalaya.
One of these glaciers is the sacred gangotri from which river ganga originates. Ganga is the lifeline of India, center of the oldest culture alive. And gangotri is melting in a really high speed.

We need more forests, way better drainage systems and processing facilities before exporting waste to our waters, use public transport over personal cars, more plant based food over meat and no plastic. #bhutan #globalwarming
@@afabuloussentientbeing8112 I disagree with you. You are underestimating the impact of public transportation. It is one of the most effective ways of solving lots of problems, cars don't solve those. Also as the matter of being authoritarian, I think asking people to do something and helping them by providing a relevant infrastructure is not authoritarianism.
I feel like we should set up a Company that should be used to develop and protect environments: (Can be named) EDP: Environmental Development and Protection. Could be used to help protect countries in environmental problems and Terraform planets. Mixing the 2 would be great because the Protection side can share info with Development to start up terraforming which they test plants and animals that live extreme conditions and make an environment. We need to research Water Bears more.
I wish everyone can watch videos like this instead of "trash vidz". I wish your call will be heard and every leaders out there will emulate the best practices from your beautiful country Bhutan. God bless you Sir.
What about these climatologists with about 40 years of experience saying our climate, droughts, floods, hurricanes etc. was way worse in 1950, and even worse in 1930, but the current stats go only back to 1960.
Being an Indian I feel ashamed that my Govt is not so thoughtful like Bhutan's. If every President or Prime minister of all the countries of the world come together and think plus act like the Bhutan, then will change be brought together.
Being a big nation we have to cator to greater need and thus we cannot be like them. We're a country of just 60 years of freedom and still are in developing phase. And we do our best. India is moving towards the renewable energy sources very fast. From biggest solar energy plant to 2nd largest DAM in the world. Plus we have the greatest reforestation percentage. The countries from EU and America should be the one to do more of these things cause they're fully developed.
Still nothing happens. My own country (Germany) keeps failing to get anywhere concerning climate change. Even though we are fully capable dealing with the problem. It is just one big mess and I fear it is going to end very bad for everyone.
I salute Mr Prime minister's farsightedness.when all the developed countries focus on the financial issues and busy to establish their supremacy above others, then, only PM of undeveloped country talks about the upcoming water crisis and several natural calamities which could be the result of glacier's melting. He call the big giants of Asia especially China and India, to come ahead for the rescuing ours natural resources. This is the need of this time to think about the unimaginable destruction which lies ahead, if, we ignore the present scenario.
We Indians want it to But the problem is We have a good gdp If we stop it all of it cars , factories ,bikes ,trucks , trains Ee can also be carbon neutral But then people will lose jobs Then they will not earn money How will they buy things like food , home , land ,dress. If we have low gdp and somehow have the tribes to help us with food We have political enemies like xhina , who will use their military to take over us and do the same thing we are doing now Basically we have bad luck Either save ur people Or save the other people Both can't be done simultaneously It's like Either lose father or whole family
"Elementally beautiful. Elementally, worth preserving." "Protect what matters most: Mother Earth, and all the beauty and life she has born. Mother Earth, the elemental basis of all our lives, and all our loves." "My fealty is to the mountain. Majestic it stands, above all, to see all, to support all, to sustain all. I subject my heart, to its heart." "In Nature, and in human nature, mountains come to be. Especially now, I bow to those standing tall... for all." ~ Paul Jung
We can not stop climate change. The only constant in Earth's history and life itself is change. Reforestation is a great idea. Building new forests is a great idea. I would note that ice/mud cores dating back over 600,000 years shows carbon is not the biggest issue. Even Dinosaurs had more carbon yet lived in a green world. There is a natural cycle that takes place involving the sun and the grand solar cycle of around 25,000 years. Even global disasters that caused the climate to change rapidly and violently occur fairly often, long before people were ever an issue. Bottom line. We can maybe hold it off, but we cannot illuminate it. Desalinization of ocean water on a massive scale is likely the best way to keep water supplies stable. If we blocked out the sun, less plants would grow. More carbon would build up as a result of slower plant growth. Destroying the meat supply would only ruin the natural fertilizer supply furthering this crisis. The real solution is advancing technology that accepts the inevitability of climate change. Historically we are at a very low carbon point in the last several million years. What is unnatural is thinking this brief window we live in is something we will be able to hold onto forever. Lots of love for Bhutan and all its doing. It's doubtful it will ever be enough though. They are making better choice than our greedy and power-hungry leaders ever will. Freedom to farm and raise your animals is essential.

All countries must work together now to prevent the planet from getting warmer. We all have to work together, all governments, all citizens, we all have to protect our climate, our environment, and our planet. We have to do everything in our power to prevent disasters caused by global warming from happening. We must save and protect our planet which is also our home. There is no planet B.
11:40 "Because thinking globally acting locally does not work"....Means we all should look for long term effects of our behaviour and with a vision as the Bhutan to save mother earth as continued to gnaw(tore) by humans.
STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS/ COAL.... Pressure governments EVERYONE. We need to come together. For our children, for nature, animals and insects. We are all connected.
INDIA is in a weird position , having 132 cr population it produces 7 to 8 % of the total CO2 emission , China with similar no. of population produces 30 % of total CO2 gases and USA with a meagre 35 cr produces 25% of CO2
We need no speach we need actions But i Respect and love this man becuase he is the only man i saw doing their duties he work socially than politically
Are we being socially engineered? Renowned Global Warming Proponent / Climate Scientist Stephen Schneider admitted as much 20 years ago at a talk at Stanford (60 seconds) th-cam.com/video/lnFi3gUckPk/w-d-xo.htmlm00s
The world we live must care more about lives ahead. This is something very serious to the third pole. It all starts with each individual, and as a whole Nation. Let's care about our mother Earth. I have been to the himalayas ladakh region and heard from locals about the problem and climate change. It's time to act.
In the US, Glacier Natural park has already lost over 100 out of approximately 125 glaciers. I think ( do not quote me on this ) in total the lower 48 has lost over 65% of total glaciers and roughly over 80% total ice stored there. ( I would have to look up the current numbers and it's 1 am so that's not happening till morning ). And we have so much push back against the science that we elected an idiot as president. Sighs.
If there are people who are worthy of talking about climate change, its the people in Bhutan. Cuz their country havent is the only carbon negative country in the world.
I do respect and care your wise concerns and foreseeing wisdom. This is the real issue. People are busy with fighting each other and bullying and exploiting less privileged fellows humans or animals alike and the environment. They are challenging the Nature. Nature get back at them not only them but others who do not harm.

Also as the matter of being authoritarian, I think asking people to do something and helping them by providing a relevant infrastructure is not authoritarianism.
We need to hear more from this man.
What a touching speech!
I feel like we should set up a Company that should be used to develop and protect environments: (Can be named) EDP: Environmental Development and Protection. Could be used to help protect countries in environmental problems and Terraform planets. Mixing the 2 would be great because the Protection side can share info with Development to start up terraforming which they test plants and animals that live extreme conditions and make an environment. We need to research Water Bears more.
Such a great speaker and an inspirational man
I wish everyone can watch videos like this instead of "trash vidz".
I wish your call will be heard and every leaders out there will emulate the best practices from your beautiful country Bhutan. God bless you Sir.
What about these climatologists with about 40 years of experience saying our climate, droughts, floods, hurricanes etc. was way worse in 1950, and even worse in 1930, but the current stats go only back to 1960.
tl;dr: the "Third Pole" refers to the Hindu Kush Himalayas because it's the third largest repository of ice, thanks to all the glaciers there
Huge respect from Vietnam
I wish we had politicians like him in the US
Being an Indian I feel ashamed that my Govt is not so thoughtful like Bhutan's. If every President or Prime minister of all the countries of the world come together and think plus act like the Bhutan, then will change be brought together.
Being a big nation we have to cator to greater need and thus we cannot be like them. We're a country of just 60 years of freedom and still are in developing phase. And we do our best. India is moving towards the renewable energy sources very fast. From biggest solar energy plant to 2nd largest DAM in the world. Plus we have the greatest reforestation percentage.
The countries from EU and America should be the one to do more of these things cause they're fully developed.
Melting of the third cap also effects the albido of the planet and absorbs more heat and is a planetary issue.
Did u hear what he said ?
We must come together, only together we can. 💯
Get this man together with David Attenborough asap
Still nothing happens. My own country (Germany) keeps failing to get anywhere concerning climate change.
Even though we are fully capable dealing with the problem.
It is just one big mess and I fear it is going to end very bad for everyone.
They want more moneeeeey! Narrow thinking will bring us down!
And they keep eating all those sausages
Thank you.
"I fully agree with this man!" they said, while sitting in their chairs comfortably and awaiting doom, watching TH-cam all day. Sad truth.
That hit me home hard
Facts
I salute Mr Prime minister's farsightedness.when all the developed countries focus on the financial issues and busy to establish their supremacy above others, then, only PM of undeveloped country talks about the upcoming water crisis and several natural calamities which could be the result of glacier's melting. He call the big giants of Asia especially China and India, to come ahead for the rescuing ours natural resources. This is the need of this time to think about the unimaginable destruction which lies ahead, if, we ignore the present scenario.
We Indians want it to
But the problem is
We have a good gdp
If we stop it all of it cars , factories ,bikes ,trucks , trains
Ee can also be carbon neutral
But then people will lose jobs
Then they will not earn money
How will they buy things like food , home , land ,dress.
If we have low gdp and somehow have the tribes to help us with food
We have political enemies like xhina , who will use their military to take over us and do the same thing we are doing now
Basically we have bad luck
Either save ur people
Or save the other people
Both can't be done simultaneously
It's like
Either lose father or whole family
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 we must come together ..

Excellent.
I always like the smile in his face it makes me happy too 😊
Everyone cant do everythings,but everyone can do somethings.We are connected with nature !! Save our planet..Peace with Love🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
We can not stop climate change. The only constant in Earth's history and life itself is change.
Reforestation is a great idea. Building new forests is a great idea. I would note that ice/mud cores dating back over 600,000 years shows carbon is not the biggest issue. Even Dinosaurs had more carbon yet lived in a green world. There is a natural cycle that takes place involving the sun and the grand solar cycle of around 25,000 years. Even global disasters that caused the climate to change rapidly and violently occur fairly often, long before people were ever an issue.
Bottom line. We can maybe hold it off, but we cannot illuminate it. Desalinization of ocean water on a massive scale is likely the best way to keep water supplies stable. If we blocked out the sun, less plants would grow. More carbon would build up as a result of slower plant growth. Destroying the meat supply would only ruin the natural fertilizer supply furthering this crisis.
The real solution is advancing technology that accepts the inevitability of climate change. Historically we are at a very low carbon point in the last several million years. What is unnatural is thinking this brief window we live in is something we will be able to hold onto forever.
Lots of love for Bhutan and all its doing. It's doubtful it will ever be enough though. They are making better choice than our greedy and power-hungry leaders ever will. Freedom to farm and raise your animals is essential.
he is true 👏

India needs to stand up to protect Himalayas
The one country that comes between Bhutan and Maldives and Bhutan and Nepal is India whose politicians wouldn't even have noticed what happened
They're more concerned with whether a Masjid was built at a site or a temple was built.
Thats an ignorant statement mate.

Indian prime minister recently said he doesn't believe in human caused global warming and won't change coal etc usage

All countries must work together now to prevent the planet from getting warmer. We all have to work together, all governments, all citizens, we all have to protect our climate, our environment, and our planet. We have to do everything in our power to prevent disasters caused by global warming from happening. We must save and protect our planet which is also our home. There is no planet B.
What an incredible speaker
11:40 "Because thinking globally acting locally does not work"....Means we all should look for long term effects of our behaviour and with a vision as the Bhutan to save mother earth as continued to gnaw(tore) by humans.
India, Pakistan and China to work together to save the Himalayas... well my bets are on the glaciers becoming completely non existent. and that's sad
STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS/ COAL.... Pressure governments EVERYONE. We need to come together. For our children, for nature, animals and insects. We are all connected.
Stop driving your car
And he was the prime minister of Bhutan, If he lasted longer, that would've been great!

Great speech!
interesting TED should be live sometimes would be awesome.
INDIA is in a weird position , having 132 cr population it produces 7 to 8 % of the total CO2 emission , China with similar no. of population produces 30 % of total CO2 gases and USA with a meagre 35 cr produces 25% of CO2
Wish the Presidents of the countries who are part of the Amazon would do the same thing.
Politics and money manipulations get many country leaders in line or they will be assassinated and they know it. History. The carrot or the stick?
God in heaven heard him and hence the current pandemic will help restore the glacier.
We need no speach we need actions
But i Respect and love this man becuase he is the only man i saw doing their duties he work socially than politically
Nature always wins. ALWAYS.
Everybody should like and share this to get more exposure to the issue!
Are we being socially engineered? Renowned Global Warming Proponent / Climate Scientist Stephen Schneider admitted as much 20 years ago at a talk at Stanford (60 seconds) th-cam.com/video/lnFi3gUckPk/w-d-xo.htmlm00s
eye opening, improvement of micro climate could contribute a micro part for its restorement by reducing refraction, and reflection of light.
The world we live must care more about lives ahead. This is something very serious to the third pole. It all starts with each individual, and as a whole Nation. Let's care about our mother Earth. I have been to the himalayas ladakh region and heard from locals about the problem and climate change. It's time to act.
We will act on the verge of lost of humanity, because of ego and development
I wish this man lead the earth
In the US, Glacier Natural park has already lost over 100 out of approximately 125 glaciers. I think ( do not quote me on this ) in total the lower 48 has lost over 65% of total glaciers and roughly over 80% total ice stored there. ( I would have to look up the current numbers and it's 1 am so that's not happening till morning ). And we have so much push back against the science that we elected an idiot as president. Sighs.
If there are people who are worthy of talking about climate change, its the people in Bhutan. Cuz their country havent is the only carbon negative country in the world.
Well said dasho🙏
I do respect and care your wise concerns and foreseeing wisdom.
This is the real issue.
People are busy with fighting each other and bullying and exploiting less privileged fellows humans or animals alike and the environment.
They are challenging the Nature.
Nature get back at them not only them but others who do not harm.
Facts 💯
Yes him again!
