国际青年日致辞2010年8月12日今年的国际青年日纪念活动还包括发起主题为―对话和相互了解‖的国际青年年。

在充满挑战的当今社会和经济环境，对青年必须给予格外关注。

87%的15岁至24岁的年轻人生活在发展中国家。

全球经济危机对年轻人的影响尤其严重；他们失去工作，即使低工资的工作都很难找到，接受教育的机会减少。

随着经济开始慢慢稳定，应将年轻人的需要放在首位。

这既是道义的需要，也是发展的需要。

而且，这也是一个机会：因为年轻人朝气蓬勃，可以激活疲软的经济。

我经常从我在世界各地遇到的年轻人表现出的善意、才华和理想主义中受到启发。

年轻人正在为我们消除贫困、遏制疾病蔓延、应对气候变化以及实现千年发展目标的工作作出重要贡献。

我呼吁会员国增加对年轻人的投资，以使他们能够作出更多的贡献。

在国际青年年期间，联合国和作为其合作伙伴的青年组织的重点将是鼓励不同代际、不同文化及宗教之间的对话和了解。

如今，不同民族和不同传统之间的接触比以往任何时候都更密切、更频繁，在这样一个世界中，年轻人必须学会如何认真倾听、同情他人、认可不同意见并有能力解决冲突。

没有什么工作比培养上述技能和对年轻人进行人权教育更重要，因为我们在年轻人身上看到的不仅是下一代领导人，而且是当今时代的重要利益攸关者。

我们还必须承认，老一辈人也可以从年轻人的经历和榜样中学到很多东西，因为年轻人是在一个相互联系速度不断加快的世界中成长起来的。

在发起国际青年年之际，让我们承认并庆祝年轻人为建设一个更安全、更公正的世界所能作出的贡献。

让我们加强努力，让年轻人参与有利于他们的未来和我们的未来的政策、方案和决策进程。

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL---MESSAGE ON INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY12 August 2010This year‘s commemoration of International Youth Day also marks the launch of the International Year of Youth, under the theme ―Dialogue and Mutual Understandi ng‖.Today‘s challenging social and economic environment warrant a special focus on youth. Eighty-seven per cent of people aged 15 to 24 live in developing countries. The global economic crisis has had a disproportionate impact on young people; they have lost jobs, struggled to find even low-wage employment and seen access to education curtailed. As economies slowly begin to stabilize, the needs of young people should be paramount.This is a moral imperative and a developmental necessity. But it is also an opportunity: the energy of youth can ignite faltering economies. I am regularly inspired by the good will, talent and idealism of the young people I meet across the world. They are making important contributions to our work to eradicate poverty, contain the spread disease, combat climate change and achieve the Millennium Development Goals. I call on Member States to increase their investments in young people so they can do even more. During the International Year, the United Nations and its youth organization partners will focus on the need toencourage dialogue and understanding across generations, cultures and religions. In a world in which different peoples and traditions are coming into closer, more frequent contact than ever before, it is crucial that young people learn how to listen intently, empathize with others, acknowledge divergent opinions, and be able to resolve conflicts. Few endeavors are more important than nurturing these skills, and educating young people about human rights, for in them we not only see the next generation of leaders, but also crucial stakeholders of today. Let us also recognize that older generations themselves stand to learn a great deal from the experiences and examples of young people as they come of age in a world of accelerating interconnectedness.As we launch this International Year, let us acknowledge and celebrate what youth can do to build a safer, more just world. Let us strengthen our efforts to include young people in policies, programmes and decision-making processes that benefit their future and ours.秘书长国际青年日致词2008 年8 月12 日气候变化的科学很复杂，但事实却很简单：我们的世界将遇到麻烦。

我去年访问南极时看到了这一点，因为南极年代久远的冰体融化的速度远远超过了我们的预料。

如果不予以解决，气候变化会损害已经在实现千年发展目标方面取得的进展，还可能对和平与安全造成严重影响。

除非我们彻底改变我们的生活方式，否则2008 年时的青年人到了我这样年纪之的时候世界将很可能成为很不宜居住之地。

今年纪念世界青年日的主题是“青年与气候变化：行动起来”。

由于老一辈人遗留下来的问题，今天的青年人日后将承受气候变化的后果。

许多发展中国家尤其如此，在这些国家中，青年人特别是女孩和女青年，常常要干农活儿、打水、拾柴。

气候变化影响了获得水的机会、农业生产力和生态系统的持续存在，因此这些任务将变得更为艰巨，而且将花费更多的本来应该用于教育或生产活动的时间。

但即使是现在，青年人也完全有能力对这场斗争作出贡献。

他们善于推广新的习惯和技术。

他们有适应能力，能够迅速地使低碳生活方式和职业选择成为他们日常生活的组成部分。

因此，应该为青年人提供机会，以积极参加地方、国家和全球各级的决策工作。

而且他们能积极支持将促成通过影响力深远的立法的各项倡议。

全世界正在努力采用更清洁、更可持续类型的能源，包括可再生资源，在这样的时候我们需要大力发扬青年人的精神。

我们希望青年人将在其有生之年看到的向低碳经济的过渡提供了巨大的机遇。

相当重要的是，由清洁能源和技术创新促进的经济增长将创造工作机会，从而有助于缓解青年失业这一严重的全球问题。

值此国际青年日之际，我敦促世界各地的青年人投入他们的精力和智慧，建成一个更安全、更可持续的星球。

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL--MESSAGE FOR INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY12 August 2008Though the science of climate change is complex, the facts are simple: our world is heading towards trouble. I saw this last year when I visited the Antarctic, where age-old ice is melting much faster than we originally thought it would. Left unaddressed, climate change could cause an unravelling of the progress that has been made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals, and could also have serious implications for peace and security. Unless we make radical changes in the way we live, by the time the youth of 2008 reach my age, the world may well have become a rather inhospitable place.The theme for this year‘s observance of International Youth Day is ―Youth and climate change: time for action‖. Today‘s young people will bear the consequences of climate change, thanks to the unfortunate legacy of their elders. In many developing countries in particular, youth -- especially girls and young women -- are often responsible for farming, finding waterand collecting fuel wood. These tasks will be rendered more difficult – and will take even more time away from education or productive activities –as climate change affects the availability of water, agricultural productivity and the survival of ecosystems.Yet young people are also well placed to contribute to the fight even now. They are adept at spreading new habits and technologies. They are adaptable and can quickly make lowcarbon lifestyles and career choices a part of their daily lives. Youth should therefore be given a chance to take an active part in the decision-making of local, national and global levels. And they can actively support initiatives that will lead to the passage of far-reaching legislation.We will need the spirit of youth in abundance as the world seeks to embrace cleaner, more sustainable forms of energy, including renewable resources. The transition to a low-carbon economy that we hope young people will see in their lifetimes offers tremendous opportunities.Not least, economic growth that is fuelled by clean energy and technological innovation will create jobs that could help alleviate the dire global problem of youth unemployment.On this International Youth Day, I urge young people around the world to invest their energies and bright ideas into shaping a safer, more sustainable planet.秘书长国际青年日致辞2007年8月12日一年一度的国际青年日为我们提供了一个机会，以期表彰世界上12亿青年人，庆祝他们取得的成就，推动他们参与社会各个领域。
