Rinpo gold at Montebanner – what t is good for a book
Now you listen to the music now but in fact what country musicians have won and welcome you
I wonder if
The music I am now is the music of my country called Kiribati
I think that a sharp person who appeared to my country
Actually I am a country named Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean
Well off you like what bus Kyoto bus
Actually I was 15 years old alone and I went through Kiribati for the first time as a Japanese
I became a Kiribati citizen
As this Japanese-born Kiribati citizen
I would like to introduce the activities that I am going to today to you all
And this activity will cut north of this northeastern Japan
And this whole earth is
When it comes to triggering the creation of a blueprint for delivering the entire earth in a sustainable manner to the next generation
I believe it.
This is left I called Kiribati I understand that we Kiribati people
We cut you God is real is boa our Kiribati people love to talk with song and dance
It is such people
And I have called the Tohoku people of Europe versus the people of Kiribati
First of all, they are very shy people
But those who do things very well once they get along
It is together
And we have a culture that cherishes people and community Kotori
And we are very proud of this culture
Please easily to my self-introduction Come
I was born in this Sendai and I grew up in this Sendai until 15 years old
It was a child who was very interested in foreign countries, especially southern islands from a small time
At that time I did not have internet , so the programs that Takanami’s islands are out really
I showed it to devour
That’s why Kiribati was introduced in the TV program at the time of elementary school fifth grade
It was shocking It was just like the southern island that I imagined
The thing I was and Kiribati from that day became the longing of the country of my
Now it got bigger and I entered high school in Sendai
But Tai’ really go to study abroad
I would like to go overseas I would like to strongly think that I would like to go to the secluded bridge I’m longing for
I’m sorry I could no longer suppress my feelings I can not hold back
It is a summer vacation for my first year high school student
Then, truly lucky things have been blessed with various ridges and it is already Kiribati
Hand-made sword
Transfer was decided to a high school on the side
And winter of high school first grader I will drop out of Koichi sensei here and will not forget Also in January 1993
I met him in Kiribati by himself
And now I am 41 years old
As a result of the Great East Japan Great Earthquake of 2011, I moved to Sendai again as a Kiribati person
And let me tell stories about Kiribati and global warming at various schools and events like today
It has received
Come with me here let a little go to everyone Come Kiribati
Frequently asked skills How do I get there? Of course I’m going by plane
It will arrive from Japan on 3 or 4 days as well
Kiribati became Independent from the UK on July 12, 1979 in the Central Tuoh Pacific
There is one country.
I am experiencing occupation of the Japanese army during World War II
And it is also a country where the battle between Japan and the United States army was exchanged
It is about 110,000 artificial people
33 islands are scattered in 5 thousand kilometers east and west of the central Pacific Ocean and until 1999 the northern hemisphere
Southern
Higashi Hankyu Western Hemisphere It is the only country that has straddled all Hankyu
And in 2000, it became the first country in the world to have the morning sun
It is the country that celebrated the 21st century at the very beginning in the world
Now it is a small country with only 110,000 people but it is a big country
It is a maritime powerhouse
Land area is 810 square kilometers, which is a bit bigger than Sendai city
Economic suck breath ez is I also 35,050,000 square kilometers
It is bigger than the land area of ​​India
And I want you to pay special attention to here, but it is the ratio of land area to eez
1 want 4377
Anyway , we have a big fruit that we gave to the big sea
We are you living together with the sea because it is
It is alive in the sea
I love the country Kiribati loved
And I began to think that I would like to contribute to this country called Kiribati from the bottom of my heart
So I became naturalized to Kiribati at the age of 23
The Japanese became the Kiribati nationality is the first issue
A variety of positions to the other in front really lucky thing also launch the company on their own
I was allowed to do
And perhaps I think I am the only one in my world
Simultaneous interpretation of Japanese and Kiribati can be done
This is one of the beautiful islands of Kiribati
And these beautiful islands
Beautiful people
Is it fortunate that we can call this beautiful islands home ?
And I think that I want to share happiness with you all
But
Since around 2000
The influence of global warming and flight fluctuations is tremendously
I got it now
Also it says Tatte never been experienced before such a thing now ask the elderly of the island
This picture can be seen as a picture of a certain day of a casual south island, but in reality it is a tremendously cruel picture
It is
What is cruel?
There was originally land until the red line on the slide
Place went to be cut land and sea level rises due to global warming
So the result was a palm tree exposed and in the next road small this palm tree fell down
I got it
Such a reverence in the whole country Now it has become a natural sight
There are a lot of coastline trees falling down
The average sea level of the Kiribati islands is actually only 1.5 meters to 2 meters. One
Except for the island of
Although the capital city has 40 kilometers east and west, the width is only 350 meters
It is not a mistake, everyone is 350 meters. Even if you see it on the right or on your left it’s ocean
After relaying for 400 meters, people of anchor have to swim for the last 50 m
Little weather and in a terribly vulnerable sea change since such a static by what long narrow island
It is
Originally Kiribati islands rainy season and the dry season is very between one year was a climate of calm equator of
It was solid.
However
I have come to the rain does not rain and terribly furutoshi year
A lot of storms that have never experienced so far came to come
When such a storm comes, I’m scared
We do not do it challenges nowhere to run away
Now If you ran me so away from the coastline it would be attached to the stairs of the opposite side
So I am afraid Anyway
The World Bank and a good night in the worst-case scenario examined the World Bank Is the due to the worst-case scenario
2050
It was the capital of the cod Hano 80% of
I predict it will sink in the ocean
In this capital city I live more than half of the population of Kiribati
And the village ark saying that it is not in the part of Abaya peach already
The village was forced to migrate because sea ​​water came in
This is that village.
It is the palm tree that is stuck like a toothpick in the middle of this picture Seawater comes in
It was because of it.
And at the root come to entering arrived or from from where the seeds of mangrove
Was
This is global warming
I am afraid that this will happen in all the villages of our islands
I am afraid that our hometown will not be this way
And global warming climate change is the island where the sea ​​level rises and the island is scraped away
It’s not just the problem of
First there is a problem of drinking water Kiribati is from 1.5 m above sea level to 2 people
There are no mountains because it is 2 m islands
Because there is no mountain, it does not change
Well then , are you drinking water ?
Rainwater is stored directly or rain penetrates the ground to make a little groundwater
However, underground water is becoming salty as seawater comes in
Perhaps the Kiribati people are drinking the most salty water in the world
And sorryly babies who are gone for not having drunk water there
I also have
And another one
Sea ecosystem is changing due to global warming There is a performance path 3 where the temperature of the sea rises
As it climbs up, the fish that the fish ever had eaten can not eat
The people of Kiribati who are getting unable to take away almost all of the protein from the ocean
I will
So this is already a food problem
And the worst worst
I have to choose to leave my hometown
It is Hikinan .
this
One thing for Kiribati This big thing on a global scale
I was very worried about what I could do as a Kiribati national .
But I did notice it.
It only has to do what we can do
I thing these new book such a simple, but I noticed it
People are tremendously important in the culture of k buses
Talking with people is important
So I am the second lowest emitter of greenhouse gases in this world,
It will be affected by global warming
This was noticed by’s my role to tell as many people as that of my country Kiribati
It is
I kinda want to look back everyday life everyone
Food coming all the way from the back of the earth to the table
I ‘m going to dinner while spitting hundreds of tons of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide every day
This food is cheaper
Is not this amusing
Do you need to buy magazines and fried chicken birds at 2 o’clock in the morning ?
Is it really necessary?
Even though global warming is said to be so much, we still use coal to make electricity
Is not this strange?
Please do not think To late hour of what because there is no such myself something forces that do of their own
Do not think that there is no meaning
I would like you to think about it and move it to action I think that the power of each person is quite large and I believe it
I will
Because this problem is neither politic nor chemistry
It is a human problem
This problem has caused us human beings so we only have to solve it
And I have a Rutte hope can human beings be resolved
Global warming is a human disaster
Because it is a human disaster it can also be prevented
When I talk about Kiribati at various elementary schools and middle school high schools, I introduce myself first
To do
I said that I had a daring dream that I wanted to go to Kiribati when I was small
I talked
And acted Actually I got a strong will and as a result I was able to go to Kiribati
It was
I have to lose human hope
I think that it is useless.
I can solve this problem of global warming
Have a hope
We’re experienced everyone’s Great East Japan Earthquake of Tohoku
Spicy of losing Kotori
Pain in the heart of hurting my hometown Are you the most familiar in the world ?
And it was revived so far with a strong intention and action
Everyone knows best
And that says that our children in Kiribati may lose their homeland
We have had a now equipment say
2050
The worst worst scenario happens
When it comes to the condition that it will not be able to live in Kiribati
What do these children mean?
These kids will definitely say
Why do we have to think like this
What have you been up to?
Why do we have to become refugees
It will say like this
I have the hope of being able to solve this problem as I mentioned earlier
Because you listened to me this whole day today
There is a saying saying What is the opposite of love
The opposite of love is not hatred
It is the word ignorance and indifference
I expect from your love There are also blueprints for these children
Blueprint I do not draw what or as long as you can not guarantee a safe future
As a blue-seeker as my Kiribati, it is a society that can draw blueprints drawn by these children
It is to create an environment And I would like many as many people to take that action
It is to help with things
But I hope for your love I think that I can solve this problem absolutely
Finally we are defending the Kiribati, so we can find out
Even after life
Health and peace and prosperity is I hope sincerely that there together with you
What also Thank you for your attention
