Everyday Learning On October 11, the first phase of the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations "Convention on Biological Diversity" (COP15) kicked off in Kunming, Spring City.

The theme of this conference is "Ecological Civilization: Building a Community of Life on Earth". This is the first time that the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Environmental Convention has adopted ecological civilization as the theme of the conference.

China will discuss with all parties a new strategy for global biodiversity governance and jointly initiate a new process of global biodiversity governance.

　　On September 30 a year ago, at the United Nations Biodiversity Summit, President Xi Jinping pointedly pointed out that at present, the global species extinction rate is accelerating, and biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation pose major risks to human survival and development.

The new crown pneumonia epidemic tells us that man and nature are a community with a shared future.

We must work together and act quickly to protect in development, develop in protection, and build a beautiful home in harmony with all things.

He quoted the old Chinese saying "the mountains accumulate high, and the river accumulates long" to emphasize that strengthening biodiversity protection and advancing global environmental governance require sustained and persistent efforts from all parties. It is also a good message to the Kunming Conference.

【Interpretation】

　　"Tang Gu Supervisor Yushi Gifts Shang Shu You Pu She Wang Gong Shinto Stele" was written by the poet Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty. The stele is mastered by Wang Jun, and the rhyme part of the stele is the inscription.

"Mountain accumulates high, Ze accumulates and grows" comes from the beginning of the inscription of the stele, using the Bixing technique.

This means that the mountains are built up by the accumulation of earth and rocks over time, and the water flows continuously only by the accumulation of drops.

The two characters "product" highlight the role of quantitative change.

With continuous accumulation, the mountains can be high, the water can grow, and every bit of effort will create success.

　　The ancients had a deep understanding of the importance of accumulation.

Such as: sawing wood with a rope, water droplets through stone; gathering sand into towers, gathering armpits into fur; freezing three feet, it is not a day's cold.

In "Xunzi Encouraging Learning", there is: "The accumulation of soil makes mountains, the wind and rain prosper; the accumulation of water makes the abyss, the dragons regenerate; ... If there is no small flow, there is no way to make a river." It can be seen that Liu Yuxi's "mountain accumulates and rises." "Zeji grows long" is the absorption and inheritance of "Xunzi".

[Interpretation]

　　"Ecological Civilization: Building a Community of Life on Earth" is not only the theme of this Kunming Conference, but also the beautiful expectations of mankind for the future.

As an important meeting of the United Nations in the field of ecological environment, the blueprint for global biodiversity governance in the next 10 years will move from here to the world.

　　"China uses the concept of ecological civilization to guide development. From the traditional Chinese wisdom of Taoism, nature, and the unity of nature and man, to the new development concept of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing, China puts the construction of ecological civilization in a prominent position and integrates it into China. All aspects of economic and social development and the entire process, and strive to build a modernization of harmony between man and nature." At the United Nations Biodiversity Summit last year, President Xi Jinping shared China's experience in biodiversity governance and ecological civilization construction with all parties.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has placed ecological civilization construction in a prominent position in the overall work, put forward a series of new concepts, new thoughts and new strategies, and carried out a series of fundamental, pioneering and long-term goals.

　　In the past 10 years, my country’s forest resources have grown in an area of ​​more than 70 million hectares, ranking first in the world.

Long-term and large-scale control of desertification and desertification, effective protection and restoration of wetlands, and the collection and preservation of biological genetic resources rank among the top in the world.

90% of terrestrial ecosystem types and 85% of key wild animal populations have been effectively protected... A long list of green development "transcripts" has witnessed China's progress on the path of ecological civilization.

　　At present, the construction of my country's ecological civilization has entered a critical period of focusing on carbon reduction, promoting synergy in reducing pollution and carbon, promoting a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and realizing the improvement of the quality of the ecological environment from quantitative to qualitative.

At the General Debate of the Seventy-sixth UN General Assembly on September 21 this year, President Xi Jinping put forward a global development initiative, calling for the establishment of a community of human and natural life.

"China will strive to achieve carbon peaks by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. This requires hard work, but we will do our best." As promised, President Xi has shown to the world that China is unswervingly committed to green development. Road attitude.

　　Man and nature are the community of life.

The conference will summarize the progress and experience of the implementation of the global biodiversity goals in the past 10 years, gather the joint efforts of contracting parties, international organizations and all stakeholders, and formulate the "Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework" to transform biodiversity conservation Sexual change brings opportunities.

Let us join hands to protect biodiversity and build a beautiful world in which everything is harmonious!
