土耳其COP31主席、环境、城市化和气候变化部长穆拉特·库鲁姆表示,任何国家无论多么强大,都无法独自在气候危机中保持安全,并强调全球合作的必要性。
Türkiye's COP31 President and Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum said no country, regardless of its strength, could remain safe from the climate crisis on its own, stressing the need for global cooperation. "Nothing can stop rising seas.
库鲁姆在COP31部长晚宴上说:“没有任何力量能阻止海平面上升。没有哪堵墙能阻挡干旱。没有哪面旗帜能改变风暴的方向。气候变化提醒我们一个非常重要的真相:我们的命运相互关联。”该晚宴在NEST会议展览中心举行,是《联合国气候变化框架公约》第三十一次缔约方大会(COP31)的活动之一。
No wall can prevent drought. No flag can change the direction of a storm. Climate change reminds us of a very important truth: Our destinies are interconnected," said Kurum at the COP31 Ministers' Dinner, held at the NEST Congress and Exhibition Center as part of COP31, the UN Climate Change Conference. COP31, hosted by Türkiye for the first time, opened in Antalya on Monday and will run through Nov. 20, bringing together 196 parties and the EU.
COP31由土耳其首次主办,周一在安塔利亚开幕,将持续至11月20日,汇集196个缔约方和欧盟。
Kurum said they stood with farmers waiting for rain on drought-stricken land, shared the concerns of families living along coastlines threatened by rising sea levels and defended the rights of millions of children whose futures had yet to be written. "We have a dream.
库鲁姆说,他们与干旱土地上等待降雨的农民站在一起,与受海平面上升威胁的沿海家庭共同担忧,并捍卫数百万未来尚未书写的儿童的权利。
One day, no child anywhere in the world will have to dream of accessing a clean sip of water. One day, no mother will fear for her child's future because of drought and disasters. One day, no farmer will lose hope while looking at their cracked soil," he said.
他说:“我们有一个梦想。有一天,世界上任何地方的孩子都不必再梦想着能喝上一口干净的水。有一天,没有母亲会因为干旱和灾害而为孩子的未来担惊受怕。有一天,没有农民会在望着龟裂的土地时失去希望。”
Kurum said he envisioned a world in which the richest and poorest countries recognized that they shared the same threats and responsibilities under the same sky. He also said he was confident humanity would come to understand that development and environmental protection were not mutually exclusive.
库鲁姆说,他设想这样一个世界:最富裕和最贫穷的国家都认识到,在同一片天空下,它们面临相同的威胁、肩负相同的责任。他还说,他相信人类终将认识到,发展与环境保护并非相互排斥。
'Future generations will remember us for decisions we make' Kurum said humanity's greatness would be measured not only by the cities it built, technologies it developed and the wealth it generated, but also by the lives it protected. "We have a dream. One day, our children will not ask us, 'What kind of world did you imagine?'
“子孙后代将因我们所作的决定而记住我们”。库鲁姆说,衡量人类的伟大,不仅看其建造的城市、开发的技术和创造的财富,还要看其保护的生命。
They will ask, 'You left us a world, but what was that world like?' We will be able to look them in the eye and answer," he said.
“我们有一个梦想。总有一天,我们的孩子不会问我们:‘你们想象的是一个什么样的世界?’他们会问:‘你们留给了我们一个世界,但那是一个什么样的世界?’我们将能够直视他们的眼睛回答,”他说。
Emphasizing that hope alone was not enough to turn dreams into reality, Kurum said hope required courage, determination, the willingness to make difficult choices and the resolve to act together.
库鲁姆强调,仅有希望不足以把梦想变为现实,希望还需要勇气、决心、愿意做出艰难选择以及共同行动的意志。他说,这正是安塔利亚与会者面临的责任。
He said it was precisely the responsibility facing participants in Antalya. "We are not here merely to set new targets. We are here to lay the foundations for a future in which commitments are translated into action.
“我们来到这里,不仅仅是为了设定新目标。我们来到这里,是为了为一个承诺转化为行动的未来奠定基础。因为我们现在知道,后代记住我们,不会因为我们的演讲,而是因为我们所做的决定。
Because we now know that future generations will remember us not for our speeches, but for the decisions we make. "They will forget the documents we sign and remember the lives we protect.
“他们会忘记我们签署的文件,而记住我们保护的生命。他们会忘记我们做出的承诺,而记住我们变为现实的希望,”他说。“我们的梦想是人类的共同未来”库鲁姆指出,这次聚会汇聚了来自世界各地的嘉宾,包括通过作品提高认识并为环境保护和教育做出贡献的艺术家、商界人士、民间社会组织代表以及体育界人士。
They will forget the promises we make and remember the hopes we turn into reality," he said. 'Our dream is humanity's shared future' Kurum noted that the gathering brought together guests from around the world, artists whose work raised awareness and contributed to environmental protection and education, businesspeople, representatives of civil society organizations and figures from the world of sports.
他表示,希望历史在多年后记住聚集在安塔利亚的这些人,把他们记为“没有放弃共同责任的人”。库鲁姆强调,在总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的领导下,土耳其准备通过其国家机构、8600万公民和所有组织共同努力,让世界变得更宜居、更公正。他说:“因为我们的梦想是一个更公正、更安全、更宜居的世界。我们的梦想是人类的共同未来。我们将与参与和支持本次会议的196个国家一道,做出这些决定。
He expressed hope that history would remember those who gathered in Antalya years from now as "people who did not abandon their shared responsibilities." Stressing that Türkiye, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was ready to work through its state institutions, 86 million citizens and all its organizations to make the world a more livable and just place, Kurum said: "Because our dream is a more just, safer and more livable world. Our dream is humanity's shared future. Together with the 196 countries participating in and supporting this conference, we will make these decisions.
“我们将为我们共同的家园、我们的世界和我们的共同未来承担责任,并履行随之而来的义务。”
"We will take responsibility for our common home, our world, and our shared future, and fulfill the obligations that come with that responsibility."
