The theme of this year’s World Cities Day, ‘Adapting Cities for Climate Resilience’, comes at a time when cities must be more resilient than ever before. They have been epicentres of the COVID-19 pandemic and are on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
今年世界城市日的主题是“建设城市适应力，增强气候抗御力”，是在城市必须建设比以往任何时候都更强的抗御力的背景下提出的。城市一直是COVID-19大流行疫情的中心，并处于气候危机的前沿。
Globally, over 1 billion people live in informal settlements, with 70 per cent highly vulnerable to climate change. Sea level rise could put more than 800 million people in coastal cities at direct risk by 2050. Yet just 9% of climate finance to cities goes to adaptation and resilience, and cities in developing countries receive far less than those in developed countries. This must change – half of all climate finance should be dedicated to adaptation.
全球有超过10亿人生活在非正规住区，其中70%的人极易受到气候变化的影响。到2050年，海平面上升可能会使沿海城市超过8亿人直接面临风险。然而，城市获得的气候资金中只有9%用于增强适应力和抗御力，发展中国家城市获得的资金远远少于发达国家城市。必须改变这种状况。应将所有气候资金的一半专门用于建设适应能力。
We need a people-centred and inclusive approach to planning, building and managing cities. Resilient infrastructure, early warning systems and financial instruments to mitigate risks are crucial tools as cities seek to adapt and protect the lives and livelihoods of their residents.
我们需要采取以人为本的包容办法来规划、建设和管理城市。在各个城市力求调整和保护居民的生活和生计之际，有韧性的基础设施、预警系统和旨在缓解风险的金融工具是至关重要的手段。
Cities can lead the way in recovering better from the pandemic, reducing emissions at the scale and speed the world needs, and securing a resilient future for billions.
城市可带头更好地从疫情中恢复，按照世界所需的规模和速度减少排放，并确保为几十亿人建设有韧性的未来。
On World Cities Day, let us renew our resolve to confront urban challenges, mitigate risks, and forge lasting solutions. Together, we can transform our cities, and thereby transform our world.
值此世界城市日之际，让我们再次下定决心应对城市挑战，缓解风险，打造持久解决方案。我们齐心协力，就能改造我们的城市，进而改变我们的世界。
