This year’s World Habitat Day focuses attention on ‘Resilient Urban Economies’ and the potential of cities as drivers of inclusive, green, and sustainable growth.
今年,世界人居日聚焦“韧性城市经济”以及城市作为包容性、绿色和可持续增长推动力的潜力。
To fulfil this promise, cities must confront a range of challenges – from economic shocks and escalating climate emergencies to widening inequalities.
为实现这一承诺,城市必须面对一系列挑战——从经济冲击、不断升级的气候紧急情况到日益扩大的不平等。
Through our Local 2030 Coalition, we are mobilizing the entire United Nations system to tackle these crises from the ground up and advance sustainable urbanization.
通过地方2030联盟,我们正在动员整个联合国系统从根本上解决这些危机,推进可持续城市化。
Local zero waste initiatives are supporting the creation of circular economies. Public efforts to expand green spaces help cool urban landscapes during heatwaves. And community action to reduce food waste and promote local production are key steps in transforming our food systems.
地方零废物倡议正在支持创建循环经济。扩大绿色空间的公众努力有助于在热浪期间为城市景观降温。减少食物浪费和促进当地生产的社区行动是转变我们粮食体系的关键步骤。
Building greater resilience and better protecting vulnerable populations requires far greater investments in sustainable infrastructure, early warning systems, and affordable, adequate housing for all.
要增强韧性,更好地保护弱势民众,就必须加大对可持续基础设施、预警系统以及人人都可负担的适当住房的投资。
At the same time, we must work to improve access to electricity, water, sanitation, transport, and other basic services – while investing in education, skills development, digital innovation, and entrepreneurship.
与此同时,我们必须努力改善电力、水、卫生、交通和其他基本服务的可及性,同时投资于教育、技能发展、数字创新和创业。
Local action is vital, and global cooperation indispensable.
地方行动至关重要,全球合作不可或缺。
On this World Habitat Day, let us pledge to build inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable human settlements for all people, everywhere.
值此世界人居日之际,让我们承诺为世界各地所有人建设包容、安全、有韧性和可持续的人类住区。
