On Earth Day, 175 world leaders met at the United Nations to sign the Paris Agreement, a historic pact to curb the carbon emissions behind climate change. Several speakers kicked off the ceremony by describing what's at stake, culminating with an urgent, cogent plea from new Academy Award-winner Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Yes, we have achieved the Paris Agreement. More countries have come together to sign this agreement today than for any other cause in the history of humankind, and that is reason for hope," DiCaprio said, praising the first international treaty that commits both developed and developing nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions. "But unfortunately the evidence shows us that it will not be enough. Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong."
"You know that climate change is happening faster than even the most pessimistic of scientists warned us decades ago. It has become a runaway freight train bringing with it an impending disaster for all living things," DiCaprio said. "Think about the shame each of us will carry when our children and grandchildren look back and realize we had the means of stopping this devastation, but simply lacked the political will."
"We can congratulate each other today, but it will mean absolutely nothing if you return to your countries and fail to push beyond the promises of this historic agreement. Now is the time for bold, unprecedented action. My friends, look at the delegates around you. It's time to ask yourselves which side of history you will be on."

幾周前,美國隊(duì)長在各大影院陸續(xù)上映,獲得了票房口碑雙豐收。與此同時,超凡蜘蛛俠2,變形金剛4也會陸續(xù)在近期上映,超級英雄似乎鋪天蓋地。但是在超級英雄狂熱的同時,是否有人也和我一樣進(jìn)行了反思?當(dāng)我們把目光投向異世界,投向超級英雄的同時,我們是否關(guān)注過我們賴以生存的地球和地球上每一個平凡的但正在經(jīng)受苦難的生命?
4月22日是世界地球日,也就是明天,第_個世界地球日,今年的主題是_。但這只能作為關(guān)注地球健康的表層,我相信作為身處最好的時代也是最壞的時代的高中生應(yīng)該把眼光放向人類的高度。
近年來,關(guān)于全球和有關(guān)國家gdp及其增長率的報(bào)道,經(jīng)常見諸各種媒體。眾所周知,gdp穩(wěn)定增長是作為宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)的主要目標(biāo)之一,各國政府都給予高度重視。然而,gdp也有不盡如人意的地方,如沒有直接衡量那些使生活有意義的東西,像環(huán)境質(zhì)量、閑暇時間和社會公平等。因此,從1970年代起人們就對gdp頗有微詞,認(rèn)為經(jīng)濟(jì)增長并不是全部,而且甚至完全可能同時導(dǎo)致環(huán)境質(zhì)量惡化、閑暇時間減少和貧富差距拉大等問題。
正如中國以化石燃料為主的能源消費(fèi)方式雖然促進(jìn)了經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展,gdp的持續(xù)增長,但是導(dǎo)致了霧霾,沙塵暴,淡水污染,全球變暖,生物多樣性減少等嚴(yán)重的環(huán)境問題。
然而以環(huán)境破壞為代價(jià),真的給我們,給人類帶來了切實(shí)的發(fā)展了嗎?
在一次匯報(bào)中,全國總工會拿出了一個數(shù)字:全國生活在城市最低生活保障線之下的職工有1828萬人。而去年10月民政部公開的數(shù)字顯示全國貧困職工約1000萬。從1000萬人到1828萬,何以在幾個月的時間里新增出如此多的貧困職工?這是一個讓人不安的數(shù)字。是統(tǒng)計(jì)方法不同?是增長速度太快?我們的地球越來越貧瘠,但是我們的人民中依舊有人貧困潦倒,饑寒交迫!
梁振英說,“我不關(guān)注差距問題,我關(guān)注貧困問題!睘榱藦浹a(bǔ)gdp的缺陷,聯(lián)合國自1990年首次發(fā)表《人類發(fā)展報(bào)告》以來,一直公布各國的人類發(fā)展指數(shù),作為衡量人類發(fā)展的綜合尺度。它測量國家在人類發(fā)展三個基本方面:壽命、知識和體面生活的總體成就。
人類發(fā)展指數(shù)提醒我們:從對增長績效的考核中發(fā)現(xiàn)問題,改進(jìn)增長質(zhì)量,讓每一個百分點(diǎn)的增長,都最大限度地轉(zhuǎn)化為人民生活質(zhì)量和環(huán)境質(zhì)量的提高,才是發(fā)展的初衷!
我的講話完了,謝謝大家。
