城市是实现可持续发展目标非常重要的一环。如今，世界上超半数人（44亿人）居住在城市中；到2030年，这一数据将上升至68%。此外，城市是经济、金融中心，也是尖端技术与创新孕育的场所。科技创新可以为我们在推行可持续发展目标的过程中所面临的挑战（例如2019冠状病毒病、气候变化以及环境问题等）提供创造性的解决方案。

If we want to achieve SDGs, we need to look at cities in particular, given more than half of the world ---- 4.4 billion people living in cities. Urbanisation is only set to rise to actually 68% by 2030. Moreover, cities are always the business and financial centers, and the hubs of cutting-edge technology and innovation. They can create and produce a lot of solutions that we need to address the challenges currently facing the SDGs, like the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and the environment impact that the development is creating.

城市必须推进社会、经济与环境的韧性建设。为推动社会韧性建设，城市要积极推动经济适用房的建设，并扩大医疗保健以及教育资源的覆盖面。为推动经济韧性建设，城市需要创造投资需求，引导资金流向科技绿色领域；同时也需要增强社会保险力度，尤其是要向自营以及中小企业员工提供社保，提高脆弱人群应对经济下行或通货膨胀等危机时候的承受力度。为了确保环境韧性，城市需要为减缓和适应气候变化作出努力。

Cities must build in social, economic and environmental resilience. In terms of social resilience in cities, issues like how to ensure affordable homes and good access to healthcare and education should be taken into consideration. For economic resilience, cities need to create incentives to direct investments into tech and green sectors so that cities can make transition to low carbon local economies. Cities also need to offer social insurances, in particular for the self-employed and small and medium enterprises to shield those most vulnerable from economic downturn and inflation, like we have seen during the pandemic. Then to ensure environmental resilience, cities must work to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate.

有很多案例值得分享，但我今天只提其中一个：20余年来，联合国开发计划署在全球环境基金（Global Environment Facility）的资金支持下，在广东省佛山市大力推行燃料电池汽车（或氢能汽车）的运营使用。目前，佛山市正致力于改进其大部分的燃料公交线路为燃料电池线路，实现公交系统的零排放。

There are a lot of good examples, but maybe one that I would cite is Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs) or hydrogen vehicle. It’s an area where UNDP has been working on in Foshan for 20 years with the Global Environment Facility funded to develop technologies for fuel cell vehicles. Foshan city is actually working on putting the majority of their bus lanes onto switching back from gas powered or fuel power to fuel cell vehicle powered with zero emissions.

我们将发布一份问题或政策简报，公开会议的主要成果，为如何开展绿色包容的城市创新、如何推进2030可持续发展目标建言献策。

I think we will be looking at bringing out publishing rather an issue brief or a policy brief with the main findings from this conference to talk about or to give recommendations on green, inclusive, urban innovation and what we can all do to accelerate speech towards 2030 and towards the sustainable development goals.
