秉持生態文明理念，共同構建地球生命共同體開啟人類高質量發展新征程

10月12日，國家主席習近平以視頻方式出席在昆明舉行的《生物多樣性公約》第十五次締約方大會領導人峰會并發表主旨講話。

習近平指出，生物多樣性使地球充滿生機，也是人類生存和發展的基礎。保護生物多樣性有助于維護地球家園，促進人類可持續發展。昆明《生物多樣性公約》第十五次締約方大會為未來全球生物多樣性保護設定目標、明確路徑，具有重要意義。國際社會要加強合作，心往一處想、勁往一處使，共建地球生命共同體。

習近平強調，人與自然應和諧共生。我們要尊重自然、順應自然、保護自然，構建人與自然和諧共生的地球家園。綠水青山就是金山銀山。良好生態環境既是自然財富，也是經濟財富，關系經濟社會發展潛力和后勁。我們要加快形成綠色發展方式，促進經濟發展和環境保護雙贏，構建經濟與環境協同共進的地球家園。新冠肺炎疫情給全球發展蒙上陰影。面對恢復經濟和保護環境的雙重任務，我們要加強團結、共克時艱，讓發展成果、良好生態更多更公平惠及各國人民，構建世界各國共同發展的地球家園。

習近平強調，我們處在一個充滿挑戰、也充滿希望的時代。為了我們共同的未來，我們要攜手同行，開啟人類高質量發展新征程。

第一，以生態文明建設為引領，協調人與自然關系。要解決好工業文明帶來的矛盾，把人類活動限制在生態環境能夠承受的限度內，對山水林田湖草沙進行一體化保護和系統治理。

第二，以綠色轉型為驅動，助力全球可持續發展。要建立綠色低碳循環經濟體系，把生態優勢轉化為發展優勢，使綠水青山產生巨大效益。加強綠色國際合作，共享綠色發展成果。

第三，以人民福祉為中心，促進社會公平正義。要心系民眾對美好生活的向往，實現保護環境、發展經濟、創造就業、消除貧困等多面共贏，增強各國人民的獲得感、幸福感、安全感。

第四，以國際法為基礎，維護公平合理的國際治理體系。要踐行真正的多邊主義，有效遵守和實施國際規則。設立新的環境保護目標應該兼顧雄心和務實平衡，使全球環境治理體系更加公平合理。

習近平指出，中國生態文明建設取得了顯著成效。中國將持續推進生態文明建設，堅定不移貫徹創新、協調、綠色、開放、共享的新發展理念，建設美麗中國。

習近平宣布，中國將率先出資15億元人民幣，成立昆明生物多樣性基金，支持發展中國家生物多樣性保護事業。中方呼吁并歡迎各方為基金出資。

習近平指出，為加強生物多樣性保護，中國正加快構建以國家公園為主體的自然保護地體系，逐步把自然生態系統最重要、自然景觀最獨特、自然遺產最精華、生物多樣性最富集的區域納入國家公園體系。為推動實現碳達峰、碳中和目標，中國將陸續發布重點領域和行業碳達峰實施方案和一系列支撐保障措施，構建起碳達峰、碳中和“1+N”政策體系。中國將持續推進產業結構和能源結構調整，大力發展可再生能源，在沙漠、戈壁、荒漠地區加快規劃建設大型風電光伏基地項目。

習近平最后強調，人不負青山，青山定不負人。生態文明是人類文明發展的歷史趨勢。讓我們攜起手來，秉持生態文明理念，站在為子孫后代負責的高度，共同構建地球生命共同體，共同建設清潔美麗的世界！

Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech via video link at the leaders summit of the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity （COP15） held in Kunming， southwest Chinas Yunnan Province， October 12， 2021. Xi called on the international community to enhance cooperation， build consensus and pool strength to build a community of all life on Earth.

Noting that biodiversity makes Earth full of vigor and vitality， and lays the foundation for human survival and development， Xi said protecting biodiversity helps protect Earth， our common homeland， and contributes to humanitys sustainable development.

The Kunming conference will work for the conclusion of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework， and identify targets and pathways for global biodiversity protection in the future， Xi said.

He stressed the need to respect Nature， follow Natures laws， protect Nature， and build a homeland of harmonious coexistence between man and Nature.

“A sound ecology and environment is not just a natural asset， but also an economic asset， and it affects the potential and momentum of economic and social development，” Xi said， calling for speeding up efforts to foster a green way of development and securing a win-win of economic growth and environmental protection.

Noting that the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow over global development， Xi said developing countries in the face of the dual tasks of economic recovery and environmental protection “need help and support all the more.”

“We need to strengthen solidarity to overcome difficulties and let people across countries benefit more and in a fairer way from development outcomes and a sound environment，” Xi said.

“We are living in an era both fraught with challenges and full of hopes，” Xi said. “For the sake of our common future， we need to join hands and start a new journey of high-quality development for humanity.”

The development of ecological civilization should be taken as a guide to coordinate the relationship between man and Nature， Xi stressed， adding that human activities need to be kept within the limits of the ecology and environment， and holistic conservation and systematic governance of mountains， rivers， forests， farmlands， lakes， grasslands and deserts need to be carried out.

Xi urged efforts to let green transition drive peoples efforts to facilitate global sustainable development.

“We need to build a green， low-carbon and circular economic system， translate ecological strengths into development strengths， and bring out the great benefit that green mountains and clear waters can offer. We also need to step up green international cooperation and share the fruits of green development among all countries，” said the president.

Stressing the need to better peoples well-being to promote social equity and justice， Xi called for pursuing win-win results in environmental protection， economic development， job creation， poverty alleviation and other endeavors， and increase the sense of fulfillment， happiness and security of people in all countries.

“We shall take international law as the basis to uphold a fair and equitable international governance system，” Xi said， adding that people need to practice true multilateralism， and effectively honor and implement international rules.

He also said that the new environmental protection targets people set need to be ambitious on the one hand and pragmatic and balanced on the other.

Noting China has made remarkable progress in building an ecological civilization， Xi said China will continue to advance ecological progress， stay committed to implementing the new development philosophy emphasizing innovative， coordinated， green and open development for all， and build a beautiful China.

Xi announced Chinas initiative to establish the Kunming Biodiversity Fund and take the lead by investing 1.5 billion yuan （about 233 million U.S. dollars） to support biodiversity protection in developing countries.

China calls on and welcomes all parties to make contributions to the fund， Xi said.

Pointing out that China is moving faster to establish a protected areas system with national parks as the mainstay， Xi said areas with the greatest importance to the natural ecosystem， and with the most unique natural landscapes， the most valuable natural heritage and the greatest biodiversity reserve will be included in the national parks system over time.

To achieve its carbon peak and neutrality targets， China will release implementation plans for peaking carbon dioxide emissions in key areas and sectors as well as a series of supporting measures， the president said.

The country will also put in place a “1+N” policy framework for carbon peak and carbon neutrality， he said.

China will continue to readjust its industrial structure and energy mix， vigorously develop renewable energy， and make faster progress in planning and developing large wind power and photovoltaic bases in sandy areas， rocky areas and deserts， Xi said.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres， Russian President Vladimir Putin， Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi， Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan， French President Emmanuel Macron， Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado， Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov， Papua New Guinean Prime Minister James Marape and Britains Prince Charles also attended the summit via video.
