世界是個大家庭

T

hank you all for this warm welcome. It is always a pleasure

for me to come to China and to e firsthand its ongoing

感

謝大家如此熱情的歡迎，對我來說，親

自來中國，親眼看看中國正在發(fā)生的變

transformation. Today, I am especially honoured by this

opportunity to speak to all of you – the current and future faces of

China in the world.

There is a common saying that this will be the Asia Paci fic

century. It is certainly true that what China does, and how China

fares, is profoundly and increasingly significant to the world at

large. Your country’s economic progress, its growing leadership

on global issues, and its dynamic engagement with the United

Nations all give us true cau for optimism.

It is about tho global challenges I want to speak to you

this afternoon – issues that might affect not only China’s peaceful

development, but also the international order underpinning our

collective drive towards global prosperity.

The ties that bind our international order are stretched

to breaking point by three linked challenges – food and fuel

prices; climate change; and the quest to reach the Millennium

Development Goals by the deadline of 2015.

Spiraling fuel costs threaten global growth, and therefore our

continued ability to lift the world’s poor out of poverty. Each day,

化，的確是一件樂事。今天，有機會在此向各

位發(fā)表演講，我感到很榮幸，因為你們向世界

三個趨勢合在一起，就會破壞一直在推動中國

進步的國際秩序。

可是，我堅信，我們并不是注定要看到我

costs, food production needs to be

boosted where the hungry live.

We must also support the

world’s farmers by removing export

restrictions and levies on food

commodities, in particular tho

procured for humanitarian purpos;

and cut agricultural subsidies in

developed countries to free new

resources for agricultural investment

in low income, food incure

countries.

Incread food production

also requires enhanced efforts to

combat climate change. Rising

temperatures are changing

weather patterns, eroding soils

and drying up water systems.

Global warming is also expanding

the habitat of mosquitoes,

widening the transmission of

tropical dias such as malaria

and dengue fever. If farmers are

co nｆｉｎed to sick beds, agricultural

yields will continue to stagnate.

Much was achieved at the

UN Climate Change Conference in

Bali last December. We must press

forward to achieve the agreement

that the world expects and needs.

Developed countries must lead

the way in the negotiations. They

must act together in light of the

agreed principle of common but

differentiated responsibilities. With

the Climate Change Conference in

Copenhagen less than 18 months away, the future of the planet is literally at

stake.

Equally, Chine business has a key role to play in developing

and providing solutions or clean technology, renewable energy, efficient

products, and sustainable goods. Already, your country ranks among the

leaders in wind-generation and solar panel production. By investing and

planning today for a future that protects our planet, Chine business has

an opportunity to be a true front-runner.

和交通費用上漲的時候，我們需要在

有人挨餓的地方增加糧食生產(chǎn)。

我們必須用種種方法支持全世界的

農(nóng)民，要消除出口限制，取消對糧食

商品的課稅，特別是為人道主義目的采

購的糧食商品。發(fā)達國家要削減農(nóng)業(yè)補

貼，釋出新的資源，在低收入、糧食不

安全的國家進行農(nóng)業(yè)投資。

在增加糧食生產(chǎn)的同時，也需要加

強努力控制氣候變化。氣溫上升正在改

變天氣形勢，造成土壤侵蝕，水系統(tǒng)干

枯。全球變暖亦擴大了蚊蟲的生境，擴

大了瘧疾和登革熱等熱帶病的傳染范

圍。如果農(nóng)民都臥了病床，農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)就

會繼續(xù)停滯不前。

去年12月在巴厘舉行的聯(lián)合國

氣候變化會議所取得的成就不少。我

們必須進一步達成全世界都期盼和需

要的協(xié)議。發(fā)達國家必須帶頭開展談

判，因為他們要對大部分碳排放負起

歷史責任。而且他們必須按照共同但

有區(qū)別的責任這個

商定原則采取行

動。再過不到18個

月，氣候變化會議

又要在哥本哈根舉

行，這確實關(guān)系到

地球行星的未來。

同樣，中國企

業(yè)也可以發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵

作用，幫助提供解

決辦法，促進開發(fā)

潔凈技術(shù)，可再生

能源，高能效產(chǎn)品

和可持續(xù)商品。你

們國家在風力發(fā)電

和太陽能板生產(chǎn)方面已經(jīng)名列前茅。

如果今天就為保護地球的將來作出投

資和規(guī)劃，中國企業(yè)即有機會成為真

正的領(lǐng)跑者。
