Message by UN Secretary-General António Guterres on World Tsunami Awareness Day
聯合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯世界海嘯意識日致辭
5 November 2024
2024年11月5日
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami – one of the deadliest disasters in recent history. More than 230,000 people lost their lives.
近代歷史上死傷最慘重的災難之一——印度洋海嘯，迄今已經過去整整二十個年頭。這場災難奪去了23萬多人的生命。
On this World Tsunami Awareness Day, we honour the victims and recommit to protecting the 700 million people around the world who are at risk from tsunamis.
值此世界海嘯意識日之際，我們緬懷遇難者，并再次承諾保護全世界面臨海嘯風險的7億人。
The best way to do so is by all partners delivering on the United Nations Early Warnings for All initiative that helps ensure every person on Earth is alerted when tsunamis and other disasters are on the way.
要實現這一承諾，最好的辦法莫過于讓所有合作伙伴都落實聯合國全民預警倡議，這有助于確保在海嘯和其他災害降臨之前，地球上的每一個人都得到預警。
Education is vital to saving lives, and as this year’s theme reminds us, the participation of children and young people is critical. I urge governments and partners in coastal communities to raise awareness, so children and young people know how and where to evacuate to higher ground.
對于拯救生命而言，教育可謂性命攸關。正如今年的主題提醒我們：兒童和青年的參與至關重要。我敦促各國政府和沿海社區的合作伙伴提升意識，讓兒童和青年知曉如何以及從何處撤離到地勢較高的位置。
Together, let’s ensure people’s futures are not swept away by tsunamis. Let’s build resilience – now.
讓我們攜手努力，確保海嘯不會將人們的未來席卷吞噬。讓我們建設抗災能力，刻不容緩。
