习近平指出，生物多样性使地球充满生机，也是人类生存和发展的基础。保护生物多样性有助于维护地球家园，促进人类可持续发展。昆明《生物多样性公约》第十五次缔约方大会为未来全球生物多样性保护设定目标、明确路径，具有重要意义。国际社会要加强合作，心往一处想、劲往一处使，共建地球生命共同体。

习近平强调，人与自然应和谐共生。我们要尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然，构建人与自然和谐共生的地球家园。绿水青山就是金山银山。良好生态环境既是自然财富，也是经济财富，关系经济社会发展潜力和后劲。我们要加快形成绿色发展方式，促进经济发展和环境保护双赢，构建经济与环境协同共进的地球家园。新冠肺炎疫情给全球发展蒙上阴影。面对恢复经济和保护环境的双重任务，我们要加强团结、共克时艰，让发展成果、良好生态更多更公平惠及各国人民，构建世界各国共同发展的地球家园。

习近平强调，我们处在一个充满挑战、也充满希望的時代。为了我们共同的未来，我们要携手同行，开启人类高质量发展新征程。

第一，以生态文明建设为引领，协调人与自然关系。要解决好工业文明带来的矛盾，把人类活动限制在生态环境能够承受的限度内，对山水林田湖草沙进行一体化保护和系统治理。

第二，以绿色转型为驱动，助力全球可持续发展。要建立绿色低碳循环经济体系，把生态优势转化为发展优势，使绿水青山产生巨大效益。加强绿色国际合作，共享绿色发展成果。

第三，以人民福祉为中心，促进社会公平正义。要心系民众对美好生活的向往，实现保护环境、发展经济、创造就业、消除贫困等多面共赢，增强各国人民的获得感、幸福感、安全感。

第四，以国际法为基础，维护公平合理的国际治理体系。要践行真正的多边主义，有效遵守和实施国际规则。设立新的环境保护目标应该兼顾雄心和务实平衡，使全球环境治理体系更加公平合理。

习近平指出，中国生态文明建设取得了显著成效。中国将持续推进生态文明建设，坚定不移贯彻创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享的新发展理念，建设美丽中国。

习近平宣布，中国将率先出资15亿元人民币，成立昆明生物多样性基金，支持发展中国家生物多样性保护事业。中方呼吁并欢迎各方为基金出资。

习近平指出，为加强生物多样性保护，中国正加快构建以国家公园为主体的自然保护地体系，逐步把自然生态系统最重要、自然景观最独特、自然遗产最精华、生物多样性最富集的区域纳入国家公园体系。为推动实现碳达峰、碳中和目标，中国将陆续发布重点领域和行业碳达峰实施方案和一系列支撑保障措施，构建起碳达峰、碳中和“1+N”政策体系。中国将持续推进产业结构和能源结构调整，大力发展可再生能源，在沙漠、戈壁、荒漠地区加快规划建设大型风电光伏基地项目。

习近平最后强调，人不负青山，青山定不负人。生态文明是人类文明发展的历史趋势。让我们携起手来，秉持生态文明理念，站在为子孙后代负责的高度，共同构建地球生命共同体，共同建设清洁美丽的世界！

Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech via video link at the leaders summit of the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity （COP15） held in Kunming， southwest Chinas Yunnan Province， October 12， 2021. Xi called on the international community to enhance cooperation， build consensus and pool strength to build a community of all life on Earth.

Noting that biodiversity makes Earth full of vigor and vitality， and lays the foundation for human survival and development， Xi said protecting biodiversity helps protect Earth， our common homeland， and contributes to humanitys sustainable development.

The Kunming conference will work for the conclusion of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework， and identify targets and pathways for global biodiversity protection in the future， Xi said.

He stressed the need to respect Nature， follow Natures laws， protect Nature， and build a homeland of harmonious coexistence between man and Nature.

“A sound ecology and environment is not just a natural asset， but also an economic asset， and it affects the potential and momentum of economic and social development，” Xi said， calling for speeding up efforts to foster a green way of development and securing a win-win of economic growth and environmental protection.

Noting that the COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow over global development， Xi said developing countries in the face of the dual tasks of economic recovery and environmental protection “need help and support all the more.”

“We need to strengthen solidarity to overcome difficulties and let people across countries benefit more and in a fairer way from development outcomes and a sound environment，” Xi said.

“We are living in an era both fraught with challenges and full of hopes，” Xi said. “For the sake of our common future， we need to join hands and start a new journey of high-quality development for humanity.”

The development of ecological civilization should be taken as a guide to coordinate the relationship between man and Nature， Xi stressed， adding that human activities need to be kept within the limits of the ecology and environment， and holistic conservation and systematic governance of mountains， rivers， forests， farmlands， lakes， grasslands and deserts need to be carried out.

Xi urged efforts to let green transition drive peoples efforts to facilitate global sustainable development.

“We need to build a green， low-carbon and circular economic system， translate ecological strengths into development strengths， and bring out the great benefit that green mountains and clear waters can offer. We also need to step up green international cooperation and share the fruits of green development among all countries，” said the president.

Stressing the need to better peoples well-being to promote social equity and justice， Xi called for pursuing win-win results in environmental protection， economic development， job creation， poverty alleviation and other endeavors， and increase the sense of fulfillment， happiness and security of people in all countries.

“We shall take international law as the basis to uphold a fair and equitable international governance system，” Xi said， adding that people need to practice true multilateralism， and effectively honor and implement international rules.

He also said that the new environmental protection targets people set need to be ambitious on the one hand and pragmatic and balanced on the other.

Noting China has made remarkable progress in building an ecological civilization， Xi said China will continue to advance ecological progress， stay committed to implementing the new development philosophy emphasizing innovative， coordinated， green and open development for all， and build a beautiful China.

Xi announced Chinas initiative to establish the Kunming Biodiversity Fund and take the lead by investing 1.5 billion yuan （about 233 million U.S. dollars） to support biodiversity protection in developing countries.

China calls on and welcomes all parties to make contributions to the fund， Xi said.

Pointing out that China is moving faster to establish a protected areas system with national parks as the mainstay， Xi said areas with the greatest importance to the natural ecosystem， and with the most unique natural landscapes， the most valuable natural heritage and the greatest biodiversity reserve will be included in the national parks system over time.

To achieve its carbon peak and neutrality targets， China will release implementation plans for peaking carbon dioxide emissions in key areas and sectors as well as a series of supporting measures， the president said.

The country will also put in place a “1+N” policy framework for carbon peak and carbon neutrality， he said.

China will continue to readjust its industrial structure and energy mix， vigorously develop renewable energy， and make faster progress in planning and developing large wind power and photovoltaic bases in sandy areas， rocky areas and deserts， Xi said.
