Mr. Secretary-General Annan,

Dr. Toepfer,

Mr. Reilly,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a tremendous honor to be here tonight to accept this year’s UNEP Sasakawa Environment Prize from his Excellency Secretary-General Annan. I deem the awarding of this prestigious prize as recognition and affirmation by the United Nations and the international community of China’s efforts and achievements in environmental protection and sustainable development. The honor is not just for me. It goes to my country and to all my colleagues who, by working tirelessly at their own positions, have contributed to the protection of the environment in China.

I have worked in environmental protection for two decades. This period has witnessed vigorous advancement of the international environmental cause as well as remarkable development of the Chinese economy. Rapid economic growth has brought with it grave challenges to the environment. Problems that cropped up and were dealt with step by step in nearly a hundred years in developed countries befell China within twenty years---all of them enormously complex ones. The Chinese government, making environmental protection one of its basic national policies and sticking to the strategy of sustainable development, has carried o ut large-scale pollution control and treatment and ecological restoration efforts. It has succeeded in curbing, by and large, the trend of environmental deterioration and in improving and quality of the environment to some extent in a number of cities and regions while sustaining rapid economic growth. Fortunate enough to be living in such great times, I feel extremely proud and honored to have devoted the best of my years to the worthy cause of environmental protection.

Although remarkable progress has b een achieved in protecting the environment and seeking sustainable development, China is still faced with serious problems of environmental pollution and worsening ecological deterioration. One particular challenge is that new issues keep coming up before old ones have been solved. For the next two decades, China has set the goal of building a well-off society characterized by economic prosperity with the total economic output increasing fourfold, social progress, and harmony between man and nature. As the conventional mode of development is bound to bring up unprecedented pressure to bear on resources and the environment, the Chinese government has established the concept of comprehensive, coordinated, sustainable and scientific development, taking a new path to industrialization featuring high scientific and technological content, good economic returns, low resources consumption, little environmental pollution and a full display of China’s advantages in human resources. To attain this goal, we shall spare no efforts in promoting circular economy based on the most efficient use of resources and environmental protection, pressing ahead sustainable production and consumption, strengthening the legal system as it pertains to the environment, rigorously enforcing relevant laws and regulations, publicizing environmental information, encouraging public participation in protecting the environment, so as to provide our people with clean water, fresh air, safe food, and a healthy environment in which to live and work. China’s environmental protection is still an arduous task. The road ahead is long and tortuous. I will keep fighting to see these objectives fulfilled.

I would like to thank UNEP for awarding me this Sasakawa Environment Prize. I am ready to contribute the total sum of this prize to the work of environment and education of the most

poverty-stricken areas in the western regions of China.

Ladies and Gentlemen, since the UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in 1972, despite enormous efforts mad e by the international community, the global environment has been steadily deteriorating. The acceleration of globalization has compounded environmental degradation. These are challenges common to all human beings in order to address these challenges, we s hould not only have a sense of responsibility, political will, courage and vision, but also take concrete action. We hope the UNEP will play a greater role in the concerted efforts of all countries as well.

We are fully aware that the best way for us to contribute to the protection of the global environment is to do an excellent job in environmental protection in China. Therefore, we will further our cooperation with the international community in a joint endeavor to protect the earth---the common home of mankind.

Thank you all very much.

联合国秘书长安南为中国国家环保总局局长解振华颁发2003年度联合国笹川环境奖

解振华在颁奖典礼上的答辞

尊敬的安南秘书长、尊敬的特普费尔博士、尊敬的瑞利先生，女士们、先生们：

今晚，我非常荣幸接受安南秘书长阁下亲自颁发的全球最受尊敬的环境奖。它表明联合国和国际社会对中国在环境保护和可持续发展领域所做的努力和取得的成就的充分肯定。这一荣誉不仅属于我个人，更属于我的祖国和那些在平凡岗位上为保护中国环境作出贡献的全体同事们。

我成为环保工作者的20年正是世界环保事业蓬勃发展之际，也是中国经济快速发展之时。经济快速发展带来了严峻的环境挑战，发达国家上百年出现、分阶段解决的环境问题，在中国短短的20多年中集中表现出来，呈现复合型、压缩型的环境问题。由于中国将环境保护作为一项基本国策，坚持实施可持续发展战略，开展大规模污染治理和生态恢复，在经济快速发展的情况下，环境恶化加剧的趋势得到基本控制，部分城市和地区的环境质量有所改善。我有幸在这个伟大的时代，从事这一伟大的事业，并贡献了我最美好的年华，为此，我感到无比自豪和光荣。

尽管中国的环境保护和可持续发展方面取得了很大成就，但中国的环境污染仍然很严重，生态恶化的趋势还没有得到根本遏制。特别是老的环境问题还未解决，新的问题还在不断出现。未来20年，中国提出了经济繁荣、政治文明、社会进步、人与自然和谐的全面小康目标，经济总量还将翻两番。传统的发展模式将使资源和环境面临前所未有的压力，环境保护的任务十分艰巨。为此，中国政府确定了全面、协调、可持续的科学发展观。走一条科技含量高、经济效益好、资源消耗低、环境污染少、人力资源得到充分发挥的新型工业化道路。为实现这一目标，我们将大力发展以最有效利用资源和保护环境为基础的循环经济，积极推进可持续生产和消费，切实加强环境法制，严格执法，公开环境信息，鼓励公众参与，让我们的人民喝上干净的水、呼吸清洁的空气、吃上放心的食物，在良好的环境中生产和生活。中国的环境保护依然任重道远，我将为此继续奋斗。

感谢联合国环境署授予我笹川环境奖，我愿

将这次获得的奖金全部捐献出来，用于中国西部最贫困地区的环境与教育事业。

女士们，先生们：1972年联合国人类环境会议以来，尽管国际社会作出了巨大努力，但全球环境仍在持续恶化，成为人类面临的共同挑战，而快速发展的全球化更使环境形势日益复杂。现在需要的是我们的责任感、政治意愿和胆识，更需要具体的行动。在世界各国的共同行动中，需要联合国环境署发挥更大的作用。

我们深深地认识到，把中国的环境保护工作做好，就是对全球环境保护的最大贡献。我们愿与国际社会继续加强合作，为保护人类的共同家园作出不懈的努力。

谢谢大家。
