  Message on World Environment Day
  世界环境日致辞
  5 June 2015
  2015年6月5日
  The theme of this year’s World Environment Day is “Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care”.
  今年世界环境日的主题是:“七十亿个梦想。一个地球。理性消费。”
  Humanity continues to consume far more natural resources than the planet can sustainably provide.  Many of the Earth’s ecosystems are nearing critical tipping points. It is time for us to change.
  人类消耗的自然资源远远超过地球可持续供给的能力,这种情况至今没有改变。地球的许多生态系统正在接近关键临界点。我们作出改变的时间已经到来。
  The goal of sustainable development is to increase the quality of life for all people without increasing environmental degradation, and without compromising the resource needs of future generations.  We can do this by shifting our consumption patterns towards goods that use less energy, water and other resources, and by wasting less food.
  可持续发展是要提高各国人民的生活品质,但是我们不应加剧环境退化,影响人类后代对资源的需求。为此,我们要改变消费模式,更多地使用能源、水和其他资源消耗较低的物品,减少食品浪费。
  In this year of transformation, when we hope to see great advances on sustainable development and climate change, let us celebrate World Environment Day by becoming more conscious of our ecological impact.  Let us think about the environmental consequences of the choices we make.  Let us become better stewards of our planet.
  今年是实现转型的一年,我们希望在可持续发展和气候变化领域取得重大进展。我们纪念世界环境日,就是要提高我们对生态影响的认识。我们要思考我们作出的选择对环境的影响。我们应当更好地管理地球家园。
