第一篇：2011 潘基文-世界人居日演讲双语版
UN Secretary-General's Message on World Habitat Day 2011 3 October 2011
联合国秘书长2011年世界人居日致辞 2011年10月3日
This year, World Habitat Day falls during the month when demographers predict our planet’s seven billionth inhabitant will be born.The future that this child and its generation will inherit depends to a great degree on how we handle the competing pressures of growing population growth, urbanization and climate change.今年，在世界人居日所在的这个月，据人口学家预言，将诞生我们星球上第70亿个居民。这个孩子及其所属世代将要承继的未来，在很大程度上取决于我们如何处理持续的人口增长、城市化和气候变化竞相造成的压力。
Experts predict that by the year 2050, the global population will have increased by 50 per cent from what it was in 1999.Also by that time, scientists say, global greenhouse gas emissions must decrease by 50 per cent compared to levels at the turn of the millennium.I call this the “50-50-50 challenge”.专家预计，到2050年，全球人口将比1999年增加50%。此外，科学家们表示，到那时，全球温室气体排放量一定要比千年之交时的排放量减少50%。我称此为“50-50-50挑战”。
Rising sea levels are a major impact of climate change — and an urgent concern.Sixty million people now live within one metre of sea level.By the end of the century, that number will jump to 130 million.Major coastal cities — such as Cairo, New York, Karachi, Kolkata, Belem, New Orleans, Shanghai, Tokyo, Lagos, Miami and Amsterdam — could face serious threats from storm surges.海平面上升是气候变化的一个主要影响，也是一个迫切令人关注的问题。目前有6 000万人生活在离海平面一米的范围内。到本世纪末，这一数字将暴涨至1.3亿。开罗、纽约、卡拉奇、加尔各答、贝伦、新奥尔良、上海、东京、拉各斯、迈阿密和阿姆斯特丹等沿海大城市可能会面临风暴激增的严重威胁。
The nexus between urbanization and climate change is real and potentially deadly.城市化和气候变化之间确实存在着相互交织的关系，而且可能具有致命的危险。
Cities are centres of industrialization and sources of emissions, but they are also home to solutions.More and more municipalities are harnessing wind, solar and geothermal energy, contributing to green growth and improving environmental protection.城市是工业化的中心和排放的源头，但也是解决这些问题的根本所在。越来越多的大都市正在利用风能、太阳能和地热能，促进绿色增长，加强环境保护。
Local efforts are critical to success, but they must be supported by international initiatives.We have already seen progress, including the creation of the Climate Change Adaptation Fund and adoption of the action plan to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, known as “REDD plus”.All countries agree on the goal of limiting global temperature rise to below 2° C.Developed and developing countries have committed to lower greenhouse gasses in a formal, accountable international agreement.地方上的努力对于取得成功至关重要，但也必须得到国际举措的支持。我们已经看到了一些进展，包括创建了气候变化适应基金，通过了降低因森林砍伐和退化所产生的排放的行动计划(称为“降排加”)。各国均同意将全球温度上升限制在2个摄氏度以下这一目标。发达国家和发展中国家已在一项可问责的国际正式协议中承诺减少温室气体。
Now we need to build on these advances.The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban this December must achieve decisive progress.Urbanization will be on the agenda at next year’s “Rio+20” United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development.当前，我们必须在这些进展的的基础上继续推进。今年12月在德班召开的联合国气候变化问题会议必须取得决定性的进展。城市化将列入明年里约+20联合国可持续发展大会的议程。
On this observance of World Habitat Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to the important journey to a more sustainable future, and let us focus greater attention on addressing climate change in the world’s cities and beyond.值此纪念世界人居日之际，让我们重申对实现更可持续的未来这一重大努力的承诺，更加关注解决世界城市及其他地区的气候变化问题。
第二篇：世界旅游日潘基文演讲
Secretary-General's Message on World Tourism DaySeptember 2010
联合国秘书长潘基文2010世界旅游日致辞
2010年9月27日
I am delighted that the UN World Tourism Organization is celebrating this year's World Tourism Day under the theme “Tourism and Biodiversity”.Despite repeated global pledges to protect the planet's species and habitats – and the goods and services they provide – the variety of life on Earth continues to decline at an unprecedented rate.Human activities are the cause.This year – the International Year of Biodiversity – provides a timely opportunity to focus on the urgency of safeguarding biodiversity for the wealth, health and well-being of people in all regions of the world.我高兴地看到，联合国世界旅游组织在“旅游与生物多样性”的主题下纪念今年的世界旅游日。尽管一再做出全球承诺，要保护地球上的物种和生境及其提供的货物和服务，但生物种类继续以史无前例的速度减少。其根源在于人类的活动。今年是国际生物多样性年，提供了一个适时的机会来集中注意为世界各地人民的财富、健康和福祉保护生物多样性的紧迫性。
Tourism and biodiversity are closely intertwined.Millions of people travel each year to experience nature's splendor.The income generated by sustainable tourism can provide important support for nature conservation, as well as for economic development.Furthermore, sustainable tourism can help to raise awareness among tourists and local communities of the importance of biodiversity to our everyday lives.旅游与生物多样性密切相连。每年有千百万人为领略壮丽的自然风光而旅游。可持续旅游业产生的收入可以为保护自然和发展经济提供重要的支持。此外，可持续旅游业还有助于游客和地方社区更多地认识到生物多样性在日常生活中的重要作用。
Through initiatives such as its “Sustainable Tourism – Eliminating Poverty” project, and its collaboration with the UN family, national tourism authorities and the private sector, the World Tourism Organization is helping to highlight the links between tourism, poverty alleviation and biodiversity.The tourism community is becoming increasingly aware of its responsibility.And indeed there is much the sector can contribute to protecting biodiversity, including by integrating simple measures such as managing tour groups to minimize disturbance to wildlife or buying supplies only from sustainable sources.世界旅游组织通过诸如“可持续旅游业——消除贫穷”项目这样的举措以及同联合国系统、各国旅游主管部门和私人部门的合作，正在帮助突出宣传旅游、扶贫和生物多样性之间的联系。旅游界正日益意识到自己的责任。这个行业确实可以为保护生物多样性做出很大贡献，包括为此实行一些简单的措施，例如通过
对旅游团的管理来尽量减少对野生物的干扰，或仅从可持续来源购买用品。On this World Tourism Day, I commend the tourism community for its growing recognition of the importance of conserving the diversity of life on Earth, and I urge all partners to strengthen their commitment to sustainability.值此世界旅游日之际，我赞赏旅游界日益认识到保护地球生物多样性的重要意义，并促请所有合作伙伴加强对可持续性的承诺。
第三篇：潘基文-2010世界结核日致辞 双语
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Message for World Tuberculosis Day
24March, 2010
联合国秘书长潘基文2010年世界结核日致辞
2010年3月24日
As we approach the target year of 2015 for reaching the Millennium Development Goals, there is good news to report in the fight against tuberculosis(TB).The world is on track to reverse the spread of this airborne killer.Deaths from TB continue to decline.These gains owe much to the many health-care providers ?? governmental and non-governmental ?? patient advocates and others who have helped to treat and cure 36 million people since 1995.As a result, about 6 million lives have been saved.Our challenge now is to maintain this momentum.到2015年实现千年发展目标，这一目标日期正向我们靠近。此时此刻，结核病防治领域的形势良好。全世界正按计划扭转这一通过空气传播的致命疾病的传播率。结核病致死率继续下降。这些成绩在很大程度上归功于自1995年以来协助治愈了3600万患者的许多保健服务提供者，包括政府和非政府提供者，以及患者代言人和其他方面。由于这些努力，约600万人的生命得以拯救。我们现在面临的挑战是如何保持这一势头。
The theme of this year’s observance of World TB Day is “On the move against tuberculosis”.The international community is indeed on the move on several fronts.Affected communities now know more about TB, thanks to public awareness campaigns.Financing for TB control continues to grow through mechanisms such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.UNITAID is supporting the provision of urgently needed medicines and diagnostics.The World Health Organization is providing policy innovation and coordinating technical support as the disease continues to evolve.The UNAIDS [Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS] campaign, “No More People Living with HIV Dying of TB”, is promoting greater awareness of these interlinked epidemics.The research community has created pipelines of new diagnostics, medicines, and potential vaccines, moving forward after decades of neglect.今年世界结核日活动的主题是“行动起来，防治结核病”。国际社会确实是在若干领域行动着。公共宣传运动使病患群体如今对结核病知识的了解有所增加。对结核病防治工作的供资通过全球抗击艾滋病、结核病和疟疾基金等机制继续增加。国际药品采购机制正协助提供迫切需要的药品和诊断手段。世界卫生组织正根据结核病的继续变化提供新政策并协调技术支助。“不再有艾滋病患者死于结核病”，艾滋病规划署的这一运动正促使人们更多认识到这些互为关联的流行病。研究界开创了新的诊断手段、药品供应线，有潜力的疫苗在被冷落几十年后又得以推进。
But progress should never distract us from the challenges.The numbers are still staggering.Last year, TB claimed 1.8 million lives, making it the second biggest infectious killer of adults worldwide.TB ranks among the top three killers of women of reproductive age.Rates of new TB illness are falling in all regions, but not yet in all countries.Overall, rates of decline are far slower than needed.Lapses in control drive the rise of multidrug-resistant TB, which is far more costly
and difficult to treat, and remind us of the constant risk of setbacks.但我们决不能因这些进步而忽视存在的挑战。一些数字仍是令人震惊的。去年，结核病夺去了180万人的生命，使此病成为全世界成年人的第二大致命传染病。结核病是育龄妇女的三大致命疾病之一。结核病新病例比率在所有区域都在下降，但并非在每个国家都是这种情况。总体来看，下降速度远低于必要的比率。控制失效导致耐多药结核病病例上升，而此类结核病的治疗要困难许多，也昂贵许多。这提醒我们要时刻牢记挫折风险。The international community has set a goal of universal access to prevention and treatment for all forms of TB, in adults and children, and among people living with HIV.In this day and age, no one should be dying from TB.On this World TB Day, let us stay “on the move”in this important fight.国际社会订立了目标，要使各种形式结核病的成年人和儿童患者以及艾滋病毒患者普遍得到预防和治疗。在今天这个时代，任何人都不应死于结核病。在此世界结核病日之际，让我们在此重要的与疾病斗争中不断“行动”。
第四篇：潘基文-2010 世界糖尿病日致辞-双语
Secretary-General's Message on World Diabetes Day
世界糖尿病日致辞
New York, 14 November 2010
2010年11月14日，美国纽约
世界糖尿病日（World Diabetes Day' WDD）是由世界卫生组织和国际糖尿病联盟于1991年共同发起的，定于每年的11月14日，其宗旨是引起全球对糖尿病的警觉和醒悟。这一天是为纪念 Frederick Banting 的诞辰而设立的。Frederick Banting 和 Charles Best 以在1921年发现胰岛素而著称于世。
2010年世界糖尿病日的口号是：控制糖尿病，刻不容缓！（Let's take control of diabetes.Now！）
World Diabetes Day highlights the need for action by governments and their partners to address a chronic, debilitating and costly disease.世界糖尿病日突显出需要各国政府及其合作伙伴采取行动，防治这一使人丧失能力并造成经济负担的慢性病。
The World Health Organization predicts that diabetes deaths could double between 2005 and 2030.The poorest countries are hardest-hit, with 80 per cent of cases occurring in low-and middle-income States.More than 220 million people are now affected, and no country is immune.世界卫生组织预测，糖尿病造成的死亡在2005和2030年期间将会增加一倍。受影响最大的是最贫穷的国家，80%的病例发生在低收入和中等收入的国家。患病人数目前已超过2.2亿人，所有国家均有病例发生。
Early diagnosis and effective treatment are critical.It is unacceptable that people with diabetes die because they lack information, treatment or access to life-saving drugs like insulin.Governments must do everything possible to close all gaps so people with diabetes can recover and avoid the damage to their heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves that is caused by the disease.早期诊断和有效治疗是关键。糖尿病患者如因缺乏信息、治疗或胰岛素一类的拯救生命的药物而死亡，这是不能接受的。各国政府必须尽一切努力，抓好每一个环节，使糖尿病患者能够康复，并避免其心脏、血管、眼睛、肾脏和神经因糖尿病受到损坏。
It is crucial to educate people at risk or those who are suffering from the disease so they can avoid complicating factors such as smoking, and understand how to manage their condition.This will prevent long-term complications which take a heavy toll in human suffering and financial cost.十分重要的是，要教育有患病危险的人或已经患病的人，使他们能够避免带来并发症的因素，如吸烟，并理解如何应对自己的疾病。这样可预防造成严重痛苦和经济损失的长期性并发症。
The World Health Organization's Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases identifies ways that individuals, communities and governments can tackle diabetes.In September, the General Assembly will convene a High-level Meeting on the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases.I urge all the participants to use this event to show the world that they are committed to
tackling diabetes and other major chronic diseases.世界卫生组织的《全球预防和控制非传染病战略》指出了个人、社区和政府得以攻克糖尿病的方法。大会将在九月召开一个预防和控制非传染疾病的高级别会议。我敦促所有与会者借此机会向全世界显示，他们决心攻克糖尿病和其他严重的慢性病。
More broadly, promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle can have a positive impact on the environment | by decreasing consumption of highly processed foods and increasing walking, cycling and other forms of transportation that are beneficial to both our bodies and our planet.更广泛地讲，促进健康的饮食和生活方式可对环境产生有益的影响，要少食深加工食品，增加步行、骑自行车和其他有益于我们自己的身体、也有益于地球的出行方式。
This is a campaign that every individual can also join.On World Diabetes Day, let us all do our part to control the disease and ensure that people who have it receive the care and treatment they need.每一个人都可以参加这项运动。在世界糖尿病日，让我们作出自己的一份贡献，控制疾病，并确保糖尿病患者得到所需的治疗和护理。
第五篇：潘基文世界水日致辞（精选）
Water is the source of life and the link that binds all living beings on this planet.It is connected directly to all our United Nations goals: improved maternal and child health and life expectancy, women's empowerment, food security, sustainable development and climate change adaptation and mitigation.Recognition of these links led to the declaration of 2005-2015 as the International Decade for Action “Water for Life”.水是生命之源，也是维系地球上所有生命的纽带。水直接关系到我们联合国的各项目标：改善孕产妇和儿童健康和提高预期寿命、增强妇女力量、粮食安全、可持续发展以及适应和减缓气候变化。正是因为认识到这些联系才宣布2005-2015年为“生命之水”国际行动十年。

Our indispensable water resources have proven themselves to be greatly resilient, but they are increasingly vulnerable and threatened.Our growing population's need for water for food, raw materials and energy is increasingly competing with nature's own demands for water to sustain already imperiled ecosystems and the services on which we depend.Day after day, we pour millions of tons of untreated sewage and industrial and agricultural wastes into the world's water systems.Clean water has become scarce and will become even scarcer with the onset of climate change.And the poor continue to suffer first and most from pollution, water shortages and the lack of adequate sanitation.我们不可缺少的水资源确实具有巨大的复原力，但它们越来越脆弱也日趋受到威胁。不断增长的人口对食物、原材料和能源用水的需求与大自然本身对维持濒危生态系统和继续提供我们赖以生存的服务的水量需求之间竞争日趋激烈。人类每天都向世界各水系中倾倒千百万吨未经处理的污水以及工业和农业废物。清洁饮水已经成为稀缺资源，而且随着气候变化的到来将变得更加稀缺。穷人将首当其冲地受到污染、缺水和缺乏适当卫生条件的影响。
