Message by UN Chief on the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer 2020
古特雷斯秘書長2020年保護臭氧層國際日致辭

There are few global agreements as successful as the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer. Today, on World Ozone Day, we celebrate 35 years of this convention, which was the first step in fixing the hole in the planet's ozone layer.
全球性協議很少像《保護臭氧層維也納公約》那么成功。值此今天的世界臭氧日，我們慶祝該《公約》通過35周年。這是修復地球臭氧層空洞的第一步。
Gases used in aerosols and cooling appliances were causing this hole. Under the convention's Montreal Protocol, governments, scientists and industry cooperated and have so far replaced 99 per cent of these gases. The ozone layer is now healing, safeguarding human and ecosystem health.
氣溶膠和冷卻設備中使用的氣體導致這個空洞。各國政府、科學家和工業界根據《公約》的《蒙特利爾議定書》開展合作，迄今已替代99%的這類氣體。如今，臭氧層正在愈合，保護著人類和生態系統的健康。
But the work of the Montreal Protocol is not over. Through the Protocol's Kigali Amendment, the international community is finding alternatives for coolants that contribute to the growing menace of climate disruption. If fully implemented, the Kigali Amendment can prevent 0.4 degrees Celsius of global warming. I congratulate the 100 Parties that have been leading by example.
但《蒙特利爾議定書》的工作并未完成。國際社會正在通過《議定書》的《基加利修正》，尋找替代品，淘汰使日趨嚴重的破壞氣候威脅加劇的冷卻劑。一旦全面落實，《基加利修正》可防止全球升溫0.4攝氏度。我慶賀100個締約方已在以身作則。
As we look ahead to global recovery from the social and economic devastation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we must commit to building stronger and more resilient societies. It is imperative that we put our efforts and investments into tackling climate change and protecting nature and the ecosystems that sustain us.
在我們期待全球從冠狀病毒病大流行造成的社會經濟破壞中恢復時，我們必須致力于建設更強大、更有復原力的社會。我們必須努力應對氣候變化，保護我們賴以生存的自然和生態系統，并為此進行投資。
The ozone treaties stand out as inspiring examples that show that, where political will prevails, there is little limit to what we can achieve in common cause. Let us take encouragement from how we have worked together to preserve the ozone layer and apply the same will to healing the planet and forging a brighter and more equitable future for all humanity.
臭氧條約是鼓舞人心的杰出范例，表明只要有普遍的政治意愿，我們就能克服限制，在共同事業中取得成就。讓我們從如何共同努力保護臭氧層的事例中獲得鼓舞，并用同樣的意愿治愈地球，為全人類打造一個更光明而且更公平的未來。
