Now let's begin.第 2 题：女士们，先生们：早上好! 很荣幸参加此次论坛，与各位共同探讨环保与发展方面的问题。气 候变化是环境问题，但归根到底是发展问题。这个问题是在发展进程中出现 的，应该在可持续发展框架下解决。只有各方在促进自身发展过程中不断提高 技术水平，积极建立适应可持续发展要求的生产和消费模式，才能从根本上应 对气候变化的挑战。TONE

17、/ TONE国际社会在推动减少温室气体排放的同时，要充分考虑如何应对已经发生 的气候变化，增强发展中国家特别是小岛屿国家和最不发达国家抵御灾害性气 候的能力。环境保护是全人类的共同责任。但是，我们要坚持联合国所确立的 区别对待的责任原则。这一原则反映了不同国家经济发展水平、历史责任、当 前人均排放水平上的差异，是未来国际合作的基础。 TONE/ TONE根据这一原则，发达国家应该完成京都议定书确定的减排目标，向发 展中国家提供帮助，并在 2010 年后继续率先承担减排义务。不久前，欧盟决定 到 2020 年将温室气体排放减少 20。我们对此表示欢迎，同时希望其他发达 国家也能做出类似承诺。 T

18、ONE/ TONE发展中国家工业化、城市化、现代化进程远未完成，发展经济、改善民生 的任务艰巨。为了实现这些目标，发展中国家的能源需求将有所增长。因此， 在现阶段对发展中国家提出强制性减排要求是不合适的。同时，我们发展中国 家也应该在力所能及的范围内采取措施，为促进全球可持续发展做出积极贡 献。 TONE/ TONE国际社会要加强合作，使更多国家在发展经济的同时保护生态环境。要实 现这一目标，国际社会应该着眼未来，建立新的利益观和合作模式，积极开展 务实合作。要加强研发和推广节能技术、环保技术、可再生能源技术等，并使广大发展中国家买得起、用得上这些技术。TONE/ TONE参考答案：Ladie

While seeking self-development, we have to improve our technicallevel and build up production and consumption modes conducive to sustainable development.

21、ing less greenhouse gas emission, the international community should also consider how to respond to the existing climate changes, and to enable the developing countries, especially the smallisland countries and the least developed countries, to ward off disastrous climate.

This principle reflects the differences innational economic situation, historical responsibility and per capita emission level. It

According to this principle, the developed countries should meet the emission target identified by the Kyoto Protocol, provide assistance to the developing countries, and continue to take the lead in reducingemissions after 2010. Shortly before, EU d
