Message by UN Secretary-General on António Guterres World Habitat Day
聯合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯世界人居日致辭
“Engaging youth to create a better urban future”
“讓青年人參與創造更美好的城市未來”
7 October 2024
2024年10月7日
On World Habitat Day, we reaffirm the basic right of shelter and reflect on the transformation of urban environments.
值此世界人居日，我們重申基本的住房權，并反思城市環境的轉變。
This year’s theme highlights the vital role of young people in creating a better urban future. By 2030, 60 per cent of urban residents will be under the age of 18. As cities continue to grow, so does the opportunity to tap into the energy of young people to turn urban challenges into opportunities.
今年的主題強調了青年人在創造更美好的城市未來中的重要作用。到2030年，60%的城市居民將不滿18歲。隨著城市不斷發展，我們也有更多機會調動青年人的活力，以便讓城市挑戰轉變為機遇。
As last month’s Summit of the Future made clear, young people are crucial to building a more equitable and sustainable future. Making the most of that potential requires investing in education, expanding digital skills, fostering entrepreneurship and promoting youth-led initiatives on climate action, affordable housing and durable mobility.
正如上個月的未來峰會所表明的那樣，青年人對于建設一個更加公平和更可持續的未來至關重要。如果要讓這一潛力得到最大限度的發揮，就需要投資于教育，拓展數字技能，培養創業精神，并促進青年主導的有關氣候行動、負擔得起的住房和持久流動性的各項舉措。
All of this and more is vital to shaping vibrant, inclusive and resilient cities and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
所有這些及其他因素，對于打造充滿活力、有韌性的包容城市以及實現可持續發展目標至關重要。
As we celebrate World Habitat Day, let us support youth everywhere, include young people in decision-making, and build cities where people of all ages can thrive.
值此慶祝世界人居日之際，讓我們支持世界各地的青年人，讓青年人參與決策，建設所有年齡段的人都能過上幸福生活的城市。
