Speaking to media in the New Zealand capital Auckland on Sunday, alongside New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed his solidarity with the victims and families of the March Christchurch mosque attacks, which killed 51 people, and praised Ms. Ardern’s leadership in the aftermath of the killings.

联合国秘书长古特雷斯今天在新西兰奥克兰与该国总理杰辛达·阿德恩(Jacinda Ardern)一同向新闻界发表致辞。他表达了对新西兰克赖斯特彻奇市清真寺三月发生的枪击事件的受害者的声援。这起事件导致51人死亡,他还赞扬了杰辛达·阿德恩在袭击发生后所展现的领导力。



Mr. Guterres pointed out that he normally pays a “solidarity visit” to a Muslim country during Ramadan but, this year, he decided to visit the Muslim community in Christchurch, “to pay tribute to their courage, to their resilience, but also to pay tribute to the extraordinary unity and to the message of solidarity that was given by the people and the government of New Zealand.”

古特雷斯指出,他通常会在斋月期间对穆斯林国家进行“声援访问”,但今年,他决定访问奥克兰克赖斯特彻奇市的穆斯林社区,以“向他们的勇气、韧性致敬,也向新西兰人民和政府非凡的团结和传递出的团结一致的信息致敬。”

The UN chief also expressed his admiration for Ms. Ardern’s rapid and decisive response to the mass shootings, which saw the Government immediately take measures to significantly strengthen gun control legislation, and her call to prevent hate speech on social media and the Internet. Ms. Ardern’s appeals and leadership, he added, were extremely important in the context of the UN initiatives to fight hate speech, and to better support countries in the protection of holy sites.

古特雷斯表示,新西兰总理杰辛达·阿德恩在应对袭击事件时作出的快速、果断的反应“令人钦佩”。新西兰已立即采取措施,大大加强枪支管制的立法。杰辛达·阿德恩还通过社交媒体和互联网,呼吁防止仇恨言论。她的呼吁和领导力在联合国打击仇恨言论的背景下以及对更好地支持各国保护其宗教场所方面至关重要。


New Zealand ‘on frontline’ of climate action
新西兰处在气候行动的“前线”


The Secretary-General~q~s visit to New Zealand is part of a tour of the Pacific Island States in which the  urgent issue of climate change figures strongly : in his remarks to the press,  Mr Guterres thanked New Zealand for its leading stance in combatting the “climate emergency,” and the country~q~s support for the Pacific Island States, which he described as being on the frontline of the dramatic impacts of climate change.

古特雷斯对新西兰的访问是其对太平洋岛国访问的一部分,这些国家所面临的气候变化问题十分紧迫。古特雷斯在媒体讲话中感谢新西兰在应对“气候紧急情况”过程中展现的领导姿态,以及该国对处于“气候变化剧烈影响前线”的太平洋岛国的支持。

“I’ll be visiting Fiji, Tuvalu and Vanuatu and conveying a very strong message from the Pacific to the rest of the world: we absolutely must catch up, we absolutely must be able to stop this dramatic trend, to reverse this dramatic trend. We cannot allow runaway climate change. We need to protect the lives of all people and we need to protect our planet.”

古特雷斯此行还将访问斐济、图瓦卢和瓦努阿图,向世界传达来自太平洋国家的强烈信息,那就是“我们绝对必须拥有制止和扭转这一戏剧性的趋势的能力。我们不能允许失控的气候变化。我们需要保护所有人的生命,我们需要保护我们的地球。”

The Secretary-General also noted New Zealand’s introduction of legislation to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050, and keep global warming to 1.5 degrees by the end of the century, a goal reiterated by the scientific community in a UN report released in October 2018, described at the time by Mr. Guterres as “an ear-splitting wake-up call.”

古特雷斯还注意到新西兰引入立法,在2050年之前实现碳中和,并在本世纪末之前将气候变暖保持在1.5摄氏度以内。联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会在2018年10月发表报告重申了这一目标,古特雷斯称之为“振聋发聩的警钟”。


However, he said that political will has been fading in other countries, even though they are conscious of the need to act, which is one of the reasons for launching a special UN Climate Summit to be held at UN Headquarters in New York in September.

然而,古特雷斯表示,即便一些国家意识到需要行动,但政治意愿正在消减,这就是他将于今年9月在纽约召开联合国气候峰会的原因之一。
