联合国秘书长潘基文2011年世界无烟日致2011年5月31日
This year’s observance of World No Tobacco Day falls in the midst of preparations for September’s United Nations high-level meeting on non-communicable diseases.By controlling tobacco, we can go a long way towards addressing many of these chronicailments, including cancer and heart disease.今年世界无烟日活动适逢为九月份联合国非传染性疾病问题高级别会议开展筹备工作期间。通过控制烟草,我们可以在防治许多这些慢性病方面取得长足的进步,其中包括癌症和心脏病。
The use of tobacco, which is highly addictive, killed approximately 100 million people in the twentieth century, and unless we act, it could kill up to a billion in this century.烟草很容易使人上瘾,烟草的使用在二十世纪导致了约一亿人死亡。如果我们不采取行动,它在本世纪可能造成多达十亿人丧生。
The greatest tool in our arsenal is the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.Since it was opened for signature in 2003, more than 170 countries have become parties, making it one of the most rapidly embraced treaties in United Nations history.我们现可运用的最好工具是世界卫生组织《烟草控制框架公约》。该公约自2003年开放供签署以来,已有170多个国家成为缔约国,使之成为联合国历史上获得最迅速接受的条约之一。
From reducing demand through higher prices and taxes to restricting advertising and sponsorship, from warnings on packages to prohibitions against sales to minors, countries are using the Treaty’s provisions to protect their citizens.They are sending a clear message that tobacco use makes us poorer — in health and economic terms.各国正在使用该公约的条款保护其公民,包括通过提高价格和税收降低需求,限制广告和赞助,要求在包装上印出警告,禁止向未成年人进行销售,等等。这些国家正在发出一个明确的信息,即烟草的使用会令我们越来越糟糕——在健康和经济方面都是如此。
The Treaty’s comprehensive defence against industry tactics includes measures to reduce the illicit trade in tobacco products, address issues of liability, support economically viable alternative crops and protect public health policies from undue pressure.该条约对烟草行业策略的全面防御包括规定措施,以减少烟草制品的非法贸易、解决赔偿责任问题、支持经济上可行的替代作物和保护公共卫生政策免遭不当压力。
The Framework Convention is clearly working to safeguard health in all countries that have adopted and enforced it.Yet, as the reports from States parties show, we have a long way to go.I urge all parties to fully meet their obligations under the Treaty, and I call on the few countries that have not yet become parties to do so.Together, we can halt the tobacco epidemic and the many problems it brings.在所有已通过和执行了框架公约的国家中,该公约显然正在发挥保障健康的作用。然而,正如一些缔约国报告所显示的那样,我们还有很长的路要走。我敦促所有缔约方充分履行条约所规定的义务,我也呼吁无数不多的尚未成为缔约方的国家成为缔约方。我们齐心合力,就可以制止烟草的流行及其带来的诸多问题。
On this World No Tobacco Day, let us push for progress that will cut tobacco-related deaths and enliven the battle against other non-communicable diseases, helping to create a healthier world for all.值此世界无烟日,让我们推动进步以减少与烟草有关的死亡和加强防治其他非传染性疾病的斗争,帮助创造一个让所有人都更加健康的世界。

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Message for World No Tobacco Day

联合国秘书长2010年世界无烟日致辞
2010年5月31日
This year’s observance of World No Tobacco Day focuses on “Gender and tobacco, with an emphasis on marketing to women”.今年世界无烟日活动的主题是“两性与烟草——关注针对女性的促销行为”。
Although fewer than 1 out of 10 women are smokers, that still adds up to an estimated 200 million women around the world.Moreover, that number could grow, since the tobacco industry is spending heavily on advertisements that target women and associate tobacco use with beauty and liberation.虽然只有不到十分之一的女性吸烟,但这仍使全世界女烟民人数近达两亿。而且,由于烟草企业花巨资制作针对女性的广告,将烟草与美丽和妇女解 放挂钩,这一数字还有可能增长。
According to a recent study by the World Health Organization(WHO), the number of girls and boys who smoked was about equal in half the 151 countries surveyed.This finding is even more worrisome since young people who smoke are likely to continue in adulthood.世界卫生组织近期对151个国家的调查显示,有一半国家,男孩和女孩的吸烟人数不相上下。由于青少年在成年后很可能继续吸烟,这一结果越发 令人担忧。
Evidence indicates that the prevalence rate of tobacco use among women is on the rise in some countries.Governments everywhere must take action to protect women from tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, as stipulated in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.有证据表明,一些国家妇女烟草使用率在上升。各国政府必须采取行动,根据《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》的规定,保护妇女远离烟草广告、促销和赞助活动。
The Convention also calls on Governments to protect women from second-hand tobacco smoke — especially in countries where women feel powerless to protect themselves and their children.As WHO data show, of the 430,000 adults who die each year from second-hand smoke, nearly two thirds are women.这项公约还呼吁各国政府保护妇女远离二手烟雾,在妇女感觉无力保护自己和子女的国家尤应如此。世界卫生组织的数据显示,在每年因二手烟雾死 亡的60万人当中,近三分之二为妇女。
Around the world, more than 1.5 million women die each year from tobacco use.Most of these deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries.Without concerted action, that number could rise to 2.5 million women by the year 2030.在世界各地,每年有超过150万妇女死于烟草使用。其中大多数死亡发生在低收入和中等收入国家。如果不采取协调一致的行动,到2030年,这一数字将可能达到250万。
We must turn back the global tobacco epidemic.On World No Tobacco Day, I urge all Governments to address this public health threat.Tobacco use is not stylish or empowering.It is ugly and deadly.我们必须遏制全球烟草流行。值此世界无烟日之际,我敦促各国政府设法应对这一公共健康威胁。使用烟草既不时尚也不强身。使用烟草是一种致人 于死命的陋习。

Message on World No Tobacco Day
世界无烟日致辞
May 20162016年5月31日
Cigarettes and other tobacco products kill almost 6 million people every year.Sustainable Development Goal 3 aims to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”.As part of that approach, Governments have committed to strengthen the implementation of the World Health Organization(WHO)Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in all countries to reduce the proportion of people who use tobacco.香烟和其他烟草产品每年导致近600万人死亡。可持续发展目标3力求“让不同年龄段的所有人都过上健康生活,促进其福祉”。作为实现该目标的一项措施,各国政府已承诺在所有国家加强对《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》的执行力度,减少烟草使用者占总人口的比例。
On World No Tobacco Day 2016, the United Nations is lending its support to one simple measure with proven effectiveness in reducing demand: the plain packaging of tobacco products.As laid out in the United Nations tobacco control treaty, this entails restricting or prohibiting the use of logos, colours, brand images or any promotional information other than brand and product names displayed in a standard colour and font.2016年世界无烟日,联合国正在支持一种已证明能有效减少烟草需求的简单措施,即烟草产品平装化。如联合国烟草控制公约所述,此举包括限制或禁止使用标识、颜色、品牌形象或任何其他有宣传作用的信息,而仅以标准颜色和字体显示品牌和品名。
Tobacco use is one of the largest causes of preventable non-communicable diseases, including cancers, heart and lung disease.It also diverts valuable household income.Plain packaging reduces the attractiveness of tobacco products, restricts tobacco advertising and promotion, limits misleading labeling, and increases the effectiveness of health warnings.吸烟是导致癌症、心脏病、肺病等可预防非传染性疾病的罪魁祸首之一,也占用了宝贵的家庭收入。平装化能减弱烟草产品的吸引力,限制烟草广告和推销,限制误导性标签,并能增强健康警告的效果。
On this World No Tobacco Day, I call on Governments around the world to get ready for plain packaging.值此世界无烟日,我呼吁世界各国政府为烟草产品平装化作好准备.

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 recognitionof 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。

年月日抗生素和其他抗菌药物的发现促成人类健康的一些最令人瞩目的进展。在年代这些药物问世之前,各种传染病每年都夺去数千万人的生命。这些药物帮助减轻传染病的负担。初期成果主要出现在收入较高的国家,也出现在贫穷国家境内比较富裕的人群之中。但过去二十年来,新的公共卫生战略和筹资机制使较贫穷社区也能获得防治主要致命疾病的药物,这些疾病包括结核病、艾滋病毒、疟疾、肺炎和腹泻病。人类和动物用药的私营销售量也已显著扩增。这些成果影响深远,但随着抗药性微生物的出现,我们现正面临失去许多这些珍贵药物的危险。抗菌药抗药性是一种自然现象,但药物的广泛使用、过度使用和滥用以及在保健和农业方面各种抗药性传染病的蔓延加剧这种现象。贸易、旅行和迁徙正增加这些微生物跨越社区和国界的传播。––有些曾挽救过我们父母和祖父母生命的药物今天已无法使用。抗药性造成卫生系统的巨大成本,正在造成越来越多的、不必要的生命损失,可能抵消我们在卫生有关的千年发展目标方面所取得的许多进展。这种情况还可能破坏用于防治非传染性疾病的其他现代药物和技术所取得的成果。最令人担心的情况也许是:研制新型抗菌药以取代已失去的药物的管道几乎已经枯竭。世界卫生组织选择了“战胜抗菌药抗药性:今天不行动,明天无救药”作为今年世界卫生日的主题。抗菌药抗药性的出现是一个复杂的问题,涉及到方方面面的利益攸关方,迫切需要在各国国内和各国之间通过跨部门的综合应对措施积极予以解决。今天,世卫组织呼吁大家采取行动,通过以下六点政策总纲加强问责制并遏止抗药性的蔓延:共同规划;监测;药物监管;合理用药;预防和控制传染;创新和研究。各国政府、企业界和所有利益攸关方都必须响应这个号召。全球的健康和无数的生命正面临威胁。
