在人与生物圈计划五十周年之际，教科文组织和联合国呼吁建立人与自然新关系

继在3月24日举办生物多样性论坛之后，联合国教科文组织呼吁各国政府、公民、民间社会以及私营部门动员起来，支持正在筹建的多伙伴基金，以保护生物多样性。此次动员的目的是应对波及所有物种的生物圈大崩溃。联合国《生物多样性公约》第十五次缔约方大会将于今年10月在中国昆明举行，联合国将在会上敦促成员国实现在2030年之前将30％的陆地和海洋纳入保护区域的目标。

教科文组织已设立的保护区域包括714个生物圈保护区、161座世界地质公园和252处世界自然遗产地。这些区域占地达到地球面积的6％，与中国国土面积相当。教科文组织呼吁我们不仅要保护地球，更需深刻改变人类与所有生物物种的相处模式。这将是一场生产和教育方式，以及我们与环境之间关系的文化变革。

作为保护生物多样性的先锋，教科文组织于50年前启动了“人与生物圈”计划，如今更是给予变革参与者空前的支持，并发起注资多伙伴基金的动员，以保护和恢复教科文组织保护区内的生物多样性和脆弱生态系统。我们需要在2030年之前实现基于团结的生态过渡，该基金将主要用于培训年轻一代，为他们提供加快这一进程所需的必要工具。意大利已承诺将在3年内向该基金捐资340万欧元（约合390万美元）。基金计划筹资2000万美元。

除了计划覆盖地球约三分之一表面的保护区之外，教科文组织呼吁再向前迈进一大步——团结全球所有人，共同保护地球并缓和人类与生物世界之间的关系。

与人类健康息息相关的生物多样性正在急剧恶化, 而它是人类的人寿保险。地球只有一个，并非自然界和人类各享有一个。

——奥德蕾·阿祖莱（Audrey Azoulay，联合国教科文组织总干事）

我们与生物之间的关系需要一场变革，因为如果我们继续破坏剩余的70％，那么仅保护30%的大自然是远远不够的。

我们需要树立新的思维方式，与自然建立更加相互尊重的关系，发展更绿色的经济。如果人类不能自给自足，就不会保护环境。

——简·古道尔（Jane Goodall，联合国和平信使兼人与生物圈计划50周年发言人）

LVMH集团高管阿尔诺（Antoine Arnault）在讲话中强调了人类与自然的关系以及对自然资源的可持续利用。

我们需要重新考虑供应链以及我们对于赖以生存的自然资源的保护方式。与人与生物圈计划的合作让我们能够在保障生产的同时与当地社区合作。                                                                  

                                                                                                                          ——安托万·阿尔诺（Antoine Arnault，LVMH集团高管）

LVMH集团与教科文组织宣布了一个重要项目，该项目将在亚马逊地区的8个生物圈保护区中保护退化的森林及河流生态系统，并推动可持续就业。

与气候变化的斗争和减少贫困是密不可分的。气候变化不单是一个技术问题，更是一个道德问题。我们必须教育年轻一代去保护创造力，并强调科学层面之外的道德层面。                                                                                         

                                                                                                                                                                                     ——教宗方济各

教科文组织邀请公众广泛参与，发送自制60秒视频至https://en.unesco.org/news/unesco-forum-biodiversity-road-kunming。视频内容需为介绍与地球和谐相处的解决方案和/或展示自己保护和以可持续方式利用生物多样性的承诺。这些视频将被收集和分享，以迎接《生物多样性公约》第十五次缔约方大会。

1971年，教科文组织于联合国人类环境大会（斯德哥尔摩）召开前一年启动了人与生物圈计划，为联合国提出的可持续发展概念奠定了基础。自设立以来，人与生物圈计划的总体目标为 “为合理利用和保护生物圈资源建立科学基础，从而改善人与环境之间的整体关系。”此外，它还希望“预见当前行动对未来世界的影响，从而提高人类有效管理生物圈自然资源的能力” 。

On 50th anniversary of Man and the Biosphere Programme, UNESCO and the UN call for a new relationship with nature

Following UNESCO’s Forum on Biodiversity on 24 March, the Organization has called for the mobilization of governments, citizens and civil society, including the private sector, in favour of biodiversity through the a multi-partner fund currently being set up. The aim of the mobilization is to counter the ongoing collapse affecting all living species. The United Nations is expected to invite Member States to implement a protection target of 30% of land and marine areas by 2030, at the COP15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to be held next October in Kunming (China).

With 714 biosphere reserves, 161 Geoparks and 252 Natural Heritage sites, UNESCO sites alone already represent 6% of the planet’s surface, i.e. an area as large as China. Beyond the surface areas to be preserved, UNESCO is calling for a paradigm shift in our relationship with all living species. This involves a cultural change in the modes of production and education, and in our relationship with the environment.

A pioneer in the preservation of biodiversity with the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme created 50 years ago, UNESCO is more committed than ever to supporting the actors of change and is launching an appeal for mobilization to feed the multi-partner fund to support the restoration and conservation of biodiversity and vulnerable ecosystems in UNESCO-designated sites. The fund will notably serve to train young people and give them the tools needed to operate an ecological and solidarity-based transition that needs to be stepped up before 2030. Italy has already pledged 3.4 million euros (3.9 million dollars) over three years to the fund, which aims to raise 20 million dollars.

Beyond the protected areas that are scheduled to cover approximately one-third of the planet, UNESCO is calling for a leap forward to rally all people everywhere around the protection of Earth and the pacification of relations with the living world.

Biodiversity, which is intimately linked to human health, is deteriorating significantly. Yet it is the life insurance policy of humanity. There is only one planet, not one planet for nature and another for humans.

—— Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director-General

We need a revolution in our relationship with living beings, because safeguarding 30% of nature is not enough if we continue destroying the remaining 70%.

We need to develop a new mindset, a more respectful relationship with nature and greener economies. If populations cannot support themselves, there will be no preservation of the environment.

—— Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace and MAB’s 50th anniversary spokesperson

The relationship with nature and the sustainable use of natural resources was at the heart of an address by Antoine Arnault, administrator of the LVMH group.

We need to rethink supply chains and the way we preserve the natural resources we depend on. The partnership with the MAB Programme allows us to safeguard our production while working with local communities.

—— Antoine Arnault, Administrator of the LVMH group

LVMH has announced a major programme with UNESCO to preserve degraded forest areas and river ecosystems and to develop sustainable employment in eight biosphere reserves in the Amazon.

The fight against climate change and the reduction of poverty are interdependent. Climate change is more of a moral issue than a technical one. It is essential to educate the younger generation to protect creation, to emphasize the ethical dimension beyond the scientific dimension.

—— Pope Francis

UNESCO is inviting members of the public to send a 60-second video presenting their solution and/or a commitment to living together in harmony on Earth and to conserving and sustainably using biodiversity to this address. These videos will be collected and shared as widely as possible as part of the movement leading to COP15.

UNESCO launched the MAB Programme in 1971, one year before the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment, which laid the foundations of the concept of sustainable development by the United Nations. From its inception, the general objective of the MAB Programme was to “develop the scientific basis for the rational use and conservation of the resources of the biosphere in order to improve the overall relationship between man and the environment.” It furthermore set out to “foresee the consequences of today's actions on tomorrow’s world and thus increase human capacity to manage the natural resources of the biosphere effectively.”
