通向世界的新时代绿色之路
肯尼亚蒙内铁路沿线修建的大型动物通道，让长颈鹿也能轻松穿过铁路桥；巴基斯坦旁遮普太阳能电站，光伏板下能长草种瓜——这些生动的场景展示着“一带一路”建设的丰硕成果，更彰显出在绿色发展理念引领下，“一带一路”用实际行动，不断将绿色发展的愿景变为现实。生态兴则文明兴，生态衰则文明衰。几千年来，倡导“天人合一”是中华文明的鲜明特色。进入新时代，中国坚持绿水青山就是金山银山，建设人与自然和谐共生的现代化，创造了举世瞩目的生态奇迹和绿色发展奇迹。在稳步推进国内绿色发展的同时，中国也积极探索将自身绿色发展理念和经验成果融入共建“一带一路”。2019年，中方在第二届“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛开幕式上明确提出，要把绿色作为底色，推动绿色基础设施建设、绿色投资、绿色金融，保护好我们赖以生存的共同家园。推动共建绿色丝绸之路，彰显了中国引领全球生态环境治理的大国担当，为携手建设清洁美丽的世界贡献了中国智慧。共建绿色丝绸之路，中国有意愿，更重行动。在塞内加尔，中国积极参与达喀尔污水处理项目，改善周边水质，重建海滩生态，惠及当地海湾沿岸地区数十万居民。在加纳，中国帮助完成深能安所固电厂项目，满足加纳25%的用电需求，用绿色清洁的能源缓解当地民众用电紧缺的局面。在哈萨克斯坦，中企参与建设的札纳塔斯风电场、图尔古孙水电站等新能源项目为当地绿色低碳发展提供强大助力。作为全球最大的清洁能源市场和装备制造国，中国与100多个国家和地区开展绿色能源项目合作，在共建“一带一路”国家的绿色低碳能源投资已经超过传统能源，促进了经济社会发展与生态环境保护相协调，为共建国家和地区发展带来绿色机遇，为当地人民带去绿色福祉。随着全球生态环境问题日益凸显，绿色发展已经成为各国的共识。目前，中方同有关方签署了50多份生态环境保护合作文件，同31个共建国家共同发起“一带一路”绿色发展伙伴关系倡议，与32个共建国家共同建立“一带一路”能源合作伙伴关系，“一带一路”绿色发展国际联盟已经吸引超过100个机构成为其合作伙伴，“绿色丝路使者计划”，为120多个共建“一带一路”国家培训绿色发展人才3000人次……十年来的稳扎稳打，让“一带一路”绿色发展凝聚起各方越来越多的共识，让中国与共建国家建立起更紧密的绿色发展伙伴关系。面向未来，以绿色发展理念为引领，以绿色发展合作平台为支撑，共建绿色丝绸之路必将更好造福各国人民，为共同构建人与自然生命共同体贡献力量。（完）
Belt and Road Initiative:A Road of Green Development for the New EraAlong Kenya’s Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway, animals as tall as giraffes cross the railroad bridges easily through the large passages built for them. At solar farms in Pakistan’s Punjab province, plants and fruits are grown under the solar panels. These scenes not only showcase the tangible outcomes delivered under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), but also highlight how the Belt and Road cooperation is turning the inspiring vision of green development into reality with concrete actions.Ancient Chinese wisdom makes new contributionA sound ecosystem is essential for the prosperity of civilization. For thousands of years, the Chinese civilization has set great store by the idea that humanity must seek harmony with Nature. Into the new era, China is committed to the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and pursuing modernization that features harmony between humanity and Nature. Thanks to persistent efforts, incredible progress has been accomplished in its eco-environmental protection and green development endeavors.While steadily advancing green development at home, China has explored to contribute its ideas and experience on green development to the Belt and Road cooperation. In 2019, at the opening ceremony of the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, China made clear that green will be a defining color of the BRI, and green infrastructure, green investment and green financing will be promoted to protect the planet we all call home. This appeal to build a green Silk Road together demonstrates China’s leadership as a major country in global eco-environmental governance, and contributes Chinese wisdom to the joint endeavor for a clean and beautiful world.Boosting the green development of partner countriesIn building a green Silk Road, China has not only expressed its commitment, but more importantly, taken concrete actions. In Senegal, China takes an active part in Dakar’s waste water treatment project to improve the water quality in surrounding areas and rehabilitate the environment along the beaches, which benefits hundreds of thousands of residents in the bay area. In Ghana, the Sunon Asogli Power Plant project has been completed with help from China. Supporting 25 percent of Ghana’s electricity demand, the plant has alleviated electricity shortage for local communities with green and clean power. In Kazakhstan, new energy projects delivered with participation of Chinese enterprises, such as the Zhanatas Wind Power Station and the Turgusun hydropower station, have provided a strong boost to the country’s green and low-carbon development.As the world’s largest market and equipment manufacturer in the field of clean energy, China has conducted green energy cooperation with more than 100 countries and regions. In Belt and Road partner countries, Chinese investment in green and low-carbon energy has surpassed that in traditional energy. This has promoted greater balance between socioeconomic development and eco-environmental protection, brought more opportunities for green development to participating countries and regions, and delivered green benefits to local communities.Building closer partnerships for green developmentAs the world faces increasing environmental problems, green development has become a consensus of all countries. So far, China has signed 50-plus cooperation documents on eco-environmental protection with relevant parties, and jointly launched the Initiative for Belt and Road Partnership on Green Development with 31 partner countries and the Belt and Road Initiative Energy Partnership with 32 partner countries. The Belt and Road Initiative International Green Development Coalition now has more than 100 partner institutions, and the Green Silk Road Envoys Programme has trained more than 3,000 green development professionals for 120-plus partner countries. Ten years of steady and solid efforts have fostered ever stronger consensus among BRI participants on the importance of green development, and enabled China to build closer partnerships on green development with partner countries.In the future, guided by the vision of green development and supported by various cooperation platforms, this collective effort to build a green Silk Road will surely bring more benefits to people across the world and facilitate the building of a community of life between humanity and Nature.
