世界地球日英語(yǔ)演講稿 篇1
Good morning, everyone !
April 22nd will be the 41st “Earth Day ”.This year’s theme is to live with low carbon.
Earth Day originated from America. On April 22nd ,1970,US Democratic Senator ?Gaylord Nelson ,and a student from Harvard University-Dennis Hayes,organized an activity named “Earth Day”. Many people in the USA joined them. The purpose was to callon all the people to keep our environment clean and protect our earth .
The earth is our common home ,but some of our activities cause serious damages to the earth .Now ,forests,lakes,wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate;Coal,oil,gas and other non-renewable energy sources face depletion due to over-exploitation;Emissions of greenhouse gases cause global warming;ice caps in the Arctic and the Antarctic are melting down and sea-level rises which threaten human survival and development .

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(guó)隊(duì)長(zhǎng)在各大影院陸續(xù)上映,獲得了票房口碑雙豐收。與此同時(shí),超凡蜘蛛俠2,變形金剛4也會(huì)陸續(xù)在近期上映,超級(jí)英雄似乎鋪天蓋地。但是在超級(jí)英雄狂熱的同時(shí),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(jí)英雄的同時(shí),我們是否關(guān)注過(guò)我們賴以生存的地球和地球上每一個(gè)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(gè)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(shí)代也是最壞的時(shí)代的高中生應(yīng)該把眼光放向人類的高度。
近年來(lái),關(guān)于全球和有關(guān)國(guó)家gdp及其增長(zhǎng)率的報(bào)道,經(jīng)常見(jiàn)諸各種媒體。眾所周知,gdp穩(wěn)定增長(zhǎng)是作為宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)的主要目標(biāo)之一,各國(guó)政府都給予高度重視。然而,gdp也有不盡如人意的地方,如沒(méi)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(shí)間和社會(huì)公平等。因此,從1970年代起人們就對(duì)gdp頗有微詞,認(rèn)為經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)并不是全部,而且甚至完全可能同時(shí)導(dǎo)致環(huán)境質(zhì)量惡化、閑暇時(shí)間減少和貧富差距拉大等問(wèn)題。
正如中國(guó)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(zhǎng),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(wèn)題。
然而以環(huán)境破壞為代價(jià),真的給我們,給人類帶來(lái)了切實(shí)的發(fā)展了嗎?
在一次匯報(bào)中,全國(guó)總工會(huì)拿出了一個(gè)數(shù)字:全國(guó)生活在城市最低生活保障線之下的職工有1828萬(wàn)人。而去年10月民政部公開(kāi)的數(shù)字顯示全國(guó)貧困職工約1000萬(wàn)。從1000萬(wàn)人到1828萬(wàn),何以在幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間里新增出如此多的貧困職工?這是一個(gè)讓人不安的數(shù)字。是統(tǒng)計(jì)方法不同?是增長(zhǎng)速度太快?我們的地球越來(lái)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(shuō),“我不關(guān)注差距問(wèn)題,我關(guān)注貧困問(wèn)題!睘榱藦浹a(bǔ)gdp的缺陷,聯(lián)合國(guó)自1990年首次發(fā)表《人類發(fā)展報(bào)告》以來(lái),一直公布各國(guó)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(cè)量國(guó)家在人類發(fā)展三個(gè)基本方面:壽命、知識(shí)和體面生活的總體成就。
人類發(fā)展指數(shù)提醒我們:從對(duì)增長(zhǎng)績(jī)效的考核中發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題,改進(jìn)增長(zhǎng)質(zhì)量,讓每一個(gè)百分點(diǎn)的增長(zhǎng),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。
