2012年联合国可持续发展大会中方立场文件
National Submission of the People’s Republic of China on the UN
Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012
1992年召开的联合国环境与发展大会，是国际发展合作事业的重要里程碑。20年来，国际社会在推进可持续发展进程方面取得诸多积极进展。国际社会积极推动实施《关于环境与发展的里约宣言》、《21世纪议程》和《可持续发展世界首脑会议执行计划》，各种形式的国际和区域环发合作深入发展，许多国际条约应运而生。发展中国家为促进可持续发展付出巨大努力，在消除贫困和实现千年发展目标方面取得一些成绩。100多个国家制定了可持续发展战略，各级政府以及工商界、非政府组织和民众积极参与，可持续发展理念深入人心。
The UN Conference on Environment and Development held in 1992 was an important landmark in international development cooperation. Over the past 20 years, the international community has made much progress in promoting sustainable development and in the implementation of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, Agenda 21, the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development and the Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (“Johannesburg Plan of Implementation”), as evidenced by the deepening of international and regional cooperation in various forms in the field of environment and development, and the births of many relevant international treaties.

Developing countries have made tremendous efforts to promote sustainable development, and made some strides in poverty eradication and achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). More than a hundred countries have adopted national sustainable development strategies, with active participation of the governments at various levels, the business community, NGOs and the general public. The concept of sustainable development is now accepted worldwide.
与此同时，可持续发展领域执行力不足的状况长期存在，区域经济、社会发展很不均衡，生态恶化、环境污染趋势未能得到根本扭转，如期实现千年发展目标困难重重。广大发展中国家面临严重的资金不足、技术手段缺乏、能力建设薄弱等困难。国际金融危机、气候变化、粮食和能源危机、自然灾害等挑战，进一步加重了发展中国家实现可持续发展的负担。当前，国际金融危机深层次影响在持续发酵，世界经济复苏的不稳定性和不确定性十分突出，世界可持续发展事业面临更为复杂的形势和严峻的挑战。
Nevertheless, the long-standing problem of lack of implementation in the field of sustainable development continues to exist; there is a huge imbalance in the economic and social development of different regions; the trend toward ecological degradation and environmental pollution has yet to be fundamentally reversed; and timely achievement of the MDGs remains a daunting task.

Developing countries are confronted with difficulties such as serious shortages of finance, technology and capacity building. The international financial crisis, climate change, food and energy crises, natural disasters and a host of other challenges have added to the burden of developing countries in their efforts to pursue sustainable development. With the impact of the international financial crisis continuing to ferment and the instability and uncertainty of the world economic recovery getting more acute, the world sustainable development endeavors are faced with a more complicated situation and severe challenges.
