World Environment Day 世界環(huán)境日介紹

　　World Environment Day (WED) was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.

　　Commemorated yearly on 5 June, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action. The day's agenda is to:

　　   1. Give a human face to environmental issues;

　　   2. Empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development;

　　   3. Promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues;

　　   4. Advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.

　　The theme for WED 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.

　　This year’s host is Mexico which reflects the growing role of the Latin American country in the fight against climate change, including its growing participation in the carbon markets.

　　Mexico is also a leading partner in UNEP's Billion Tree Campaign. The country, with the support of its President and people, has spearheaded the pledging and planting of some 25 per cent of the trees under the campaign. Accounting for around 1.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the country is demonstrating its commitment to climate change on several fronts.

　　Mexican President Felipe Calderon states that the WED celebration will “further underline Mexico's determination to manage natural resources and deal with the most demanding challenge of the 21st century – climate change.”

　　關(guān)于地球環(huán)境日

　　世界環(huán)境日系由聯(lián)合國大會(huì)于1972年確立，旨在紀(jì)念斯德哥爾摩人類環(huán)境會(huì)議的召開。

　　世界環(huán)境日, 設(shè)立于每年6月5日，是聯(lián)合國最重要的紀(jì)念日之一，旨為提高世界人們的環(huán)保意識(shí)和增強(qiáng)政治上的影響力。

　　環(huán)境日日程包括：

　　從人類角度看待環(huán)境議題;

　　鼓勵(lì)人們在可持續(xù)和可平衡發(fā)展中成為活躍的一份子;

　　促進(jìn)人們理解社區(qū)處于環(huán)境問題中心樞要位置;

　　主張伙伴關(guān)系，以保證各國及人民能享有一個(gè)更加安全繁榮的未來.

　　2009年世界環(huán)境日的主題是：“你的地球需要你 – 聯(lián)合國際力量，應(yīng)對氣候變化”。這反映了各國在180天后舉行的關(guān)鍵氣候協(xié)商會(huì)議上共同達(dá)成新政的緊迫性，及體現(xiàn)了解決貧困問題和提高森林管理的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系。

　　今年主辦國為墨西哥，它顯示了當(dāng)今拉丁美洲在對抗氣候變化，以及碳交易市場中不斷上升的地位。

　　墨西哥同樣也是環(huán)境署“十億棵樹”項(xiàng)目的積極參與方。從總統(tǒng)到平民的支持使得這個(gè)國家承諾且種植了高達(dá)全球目標(biāo)25% 的樹木。墨西哥也對其占全球的1.5%的溫室氣體排放做出應(yīng)對氣候變化承諾。

　　墨西哥總統(tǒng) Felipe Calderon表示世界環(huán)境日的慶典活動(dòng)將“更進(jìn)一步表達(dá)出墨西哥管理自然資源和應(yīng)對21世紀(jì)最大挑戰(zhàn)之一——?dú)夂蜃兓�的決心”。
