Thank you to Bill Gates and BreakthroughEnergy for bringing together this brilliant collection of investors, philanthropists, and environmental innovators and for inviting me to join you today.感谢比尔·盖茨和“突破能源组织“将投资者、慈善家和环保创新者汇聚一堂,并邀请我参加今天的会议。
For me a big partof this week is about celebration. Celebrating the incredible minds that are working all around the world, night and day, on climate solutions; celebrating the individuals and organisations who are supporting them; and celebrating the progress we have already made.对我来说,本周的一大主题就是庆祝。庆祝世界各地日以继夜致力于气候解决方案的杰出人才做出的贡献;庆祝支持他们的个人和组织;庆祝我们已经取得的进展。
Back in 2020, inspired by the wealth ofclimate creativity and innovation I saw in the United Kingdom and around the globe, I started having conversations about how to mobilise the enormous power of innovators to repair and regenerate our planet by 2030.早在2020年,我在英国和全球各地看到了大量的气候创意和创新,深受启发,于是我开始讨论如何调动创新者的巨大力量,在2030年之前修复和再生我们的地球。
Fast forward four years, and The EarthshotPrize and its partners have identified over 3,000 of the best environmental solutions - scouring every corner of the planet.四年过去了,“地球奋斗奖”及其合作伙伴已经在地球上发现了3000多个最佳环保解决方案。
We have spotlighted 45 solutions with thepromise of global impact as Finalists for The Earthshot Prize. And we will celebrate another 15 Finalists later this year in Cape Town.我们选出了45个有望产生全球影响的解决方案,作为“地球奋斗奖”的入围方案。今年晚些时候,我们将在开普敦为另外15位入围者举行庆祝活动。
It is in part thanks to those who believedin us in those early days that we have been able to get to where we are today. The support of Breakthrough Energy as one of our Founding Partners has been crucial to the success of the Prize.我们能够取得今天的成绩,部分要归功于那些在早期对我们抱有信心的人们。作为我们的创始合作伙伴之一,突破能源公司的支持对该奖项的成功创立至关重要。
For me, the magic behind thesuccess we have enjoyed so far has been the powerful model for growth that we’ve built. We’re not only discovering, selecting, and awarding transformative solutions from around the world, we’re also shining a light on them, introducing them to networks of influence and resources and providing them with vital communities of support.对我来说,迄今我们所取得的成功背后的奥妙在于我们所建立的强大的发展模式。我们不仅发现、遴选和奖励来自世界各地的变革性解决方案,我们还对它们进行宣传,向它们推向有影响力的网络和资源,并为它们提供重要的团体支持。
As well as awarding £15million in Prize money to date, we have helped catalyse £70 million in additional investment in support of our Finalists by leveraging our close partnerships and expansive networks.迄今为止,我们不仅颁发了1500万英镑的奖金,还利用我们紧密的合作伙伴关系和广泛的网络,帮助催化了7000万英镑的额外投资,以支持我们的入围者。
This is why I believe platforms like The EarthshotPrize and Breakthrough Energy are so critical to accelerating, replicating, and scaling solutions like the ones here today. It’s no surprise that many of Earthshot Prize Finalists and Winners are also Breakthrough Fellows.这就是为什么我相信,像“地球奋斗奖”和“突破能源”这样的平台对于加速、复制和推广像今天这类解决方案的重要性。所以许多“地球奋斗奖”入围者和获奖者同时也是“突破能源”的研究员,这并不让人奇怪。
Together with the support of The EarthshotPrize and Breakthrough Energy, environmental solutions like Circ’s recycled fabrics, 44.01’s natural carbon capture technology, and Takachar’s mobile bioreactors are all on a fast track to deliver real impact around the world.在“地球奋斗奖”和“突破能源”的支持下,Circ的再生织物、44.01的天然碳捕捉技术和 Takachar的移动生物反应器等环保解决方案都走上了快速发展的道路,在全球产生了真正的影响。
This is what gives me hope that we are takingthe right steps to repair our planet. Circ has partnered with some of the world’s biggest fashion brands to start to tackle the massive challenge of textile waste.这让我看到了希望,我们正在采取正确的措施来修复我们的地球。Circ公司与世界上一些最大的时尚品牌合作,开始应对纺织品废弃物这一巨大挑战。
44.01 is working with national governments to remove carbon pollution from the air and store it safely underground. And Takachar is working with the World Food Programme to reduce crop waste and create additional income for rural farmers. And they’re just getting started.44.01正与各国政府合作,清除空气中的碳污染,并将其安全地储存在地下。Takachar正在与世界粮食计划署合作,减少农作物废弃物,为农村农民创造额外收入。他们才刚刚起步。
Today we celebrate the innovators,entrepreneurs, and optimists, as well as the allies and investors providing the necessary support along their journey to scale. Together we will create a sustainable future for generations to come.今天,我们要向创新者、企业家和乐观主义者,以及在他们扩大规模的过程中提供必要支持的盟友和投资者致敬。我们将携手为子孙后代创造一个可持续发展的未来。
Thank you.谢谢!
