Message on the United Nations Day 联合国日致辞 24 October 2016 2016年10月24日 This year’s observance of United Nations Day occurs at a time of transition for the world and for the United Nations. 今年的联合国日纪念活动正值世界和联合国处于过渡时期。 Humanity has entered the era of sustainability – with a global commitment to fulfil the great promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this, the Organization’s 71st year, we have 17 goals to propel us towards a better future for all on a healthy planet. 人类已经进入可持续时代——全球各国已承诺实现《2030年可持续发展议程》的宏伟远景。值此本组织成立71周年之际,我们将在17项目标的推动下,努力让所有人都能在健康的地球上生活,拥有更加美好的未来。 The world is also moving at long last beyond the mindset which viewed the burning of fossil fuels as the path to prosperity. At a time of record heat, Member States have embraced the Paris Agreement on climate change in record time. This landmark measure will enter into force on 4 November. Across that historic threshold lies our best chance for greener, cleaner, low-carbon growth. 世界各国也终于正在逐渐摒弃旧有观念,不再将燃烧化石燃料视为通往繁荣的道路。在气温创历史新高的背景下,会员国接受了关于气候变化的《巴黎协定》,用时之短也是创历史新高。这项具有里程碑意义的措施将于11月4日生效。只有迈过这一历史性门槛,我们才最有可能实现更加绿色、更加清洁的低碳增长。 |
