温家宝谈可持续发展

40年前，联合国在这里召开了首次人类环境会议，发表了具有划时代意义的历史性文献《人类环境宣言》，形成了人类环境行动计划，提出了一个响遍世界的口号：只有一个地球!那次会议标志着人类对环境问题的普遍觉醒，开启了可持续发展的新纪元。中国的环保和可持续发展事业也从此摆上政府的重要日程。今天，我们隆重纪念这一历史盛会，重温宣言的经典篇章，更加赞叹前人的远见卓识，更能领悟当代人的重大责任。

Four decades ago here, the United Nations held the first conference on the human environment. It adopted an epoch- making document, the Declaration on the Human Environment and the Action Plan for the Human Environment, and made a resounding appeal -- ＂Only One Earth＂ . That conference awakened mankind to the environmental issue and ushered in a new era of sustainable development. Since then, environmental protection and sustainable development have become a high priority on the agenda of the Chinese government. Today, as we commemorate that historic conference and as the call of the Declaration comes to mind again, we cannot but all the more marvel at the vision of our predecessors and be more keenly aware of the major responsibilities that we, the present generation, have on our shoulders.
