這些農(nóng)村地區(qū)長(zhǎng)期缺乏電力供應(yīng),這阻礙了當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)、教育和醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生事業(yè)的發(fā)展。不過現(xiàn)在,人們開始利用小額貸款購(gòu)買太陽(yáng)能設(shè)備,逐漸改善了這些地區(qū)的照明條件。
自我就業(yè)婦女協(xié)會(huì)(SEWA)銀行是一家小額信貸機(jī)構(gòu)。就職于該機(jī)構(gòu)的皮納爾·沙哈(PinalShah)說:“以前,太陽(yáng)一落山,人們就干不了多少活了。而現(xiàn)在,人們對(duì)太陽(yáng)能有了全新的利用方式。利用太陽(yáng)能,人們提高了生產(chǎn)力,改善了健康狀況,促進(jìn)了當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)的發(fā)展。
拉米本·瓦格里(RamibenWaghri)是一個(gè)蔬菜攤販,她通過小額貸款買了一盞太陽(yáng)能燈,到了晚上用它來為攤位照明。太陽(yáng)能燈的售價(jià)為66美元至112美元不等,大約是她一個(gè)星期的收入。
瓦格里說:“用太陽(yáng)能燈照著,蔬菜賣相更好看,而且這燈本身比煤油燈便宜,還沒有氣味。”她估算,有了太陽(yáng)能燈,她每晚能多掙300盧比(合6美元)。
“能用太陽(yáng)省點(diǎn)錢,為什么不用呢?”
在印度,太陽(yáng)能項(xiàng)目往往能得到小額信貸機(jī)構(gòu)的資助。這些項(xiàng)目不僅有助于減少印度的碳排放,而且有助于印度在今后四年內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)可再生能源貢獻(xiàn)率翻一番,達(dá)到6%的目標(biāo),相當(dāng)于可再生能源發(fā)電量達(dá)到25000兆瓦。
印度能源與資源研究所(TERI)的高級(jí)研究員普拉迪普·達(dá)蒂奇(PradeepDadhich)表示,太陽(yáng)能燈白天充電后,可以在夜間提供數(shù)小時(shí)照明。像太陽(yáng)能灶和太陽(yáng)能燈等離網(wǎng)應(yīng)用可以幫助印度這個(gè)世界第四大碳排放國(guó)降低對(duì)化石燃料的依賴,降低碳排放。
他說:“有了這些太陽(yáng)能離網(wǎng)應(yīng)用,那些生活在無(wú)電或少電地區(qū)的人們就可以逐漸擺脫對(duì)煤油、柴油或柴火等能源的依賴?!?/p>
“這些應(yīng)用不僅滿足了人們的能源需求,還提高了人們的生活質(zhì)量,減少了碳足跡。”
在印度,小額信貸機(jī)構(gòu)日益增多,自我就業(yè)婦女協(xié)會(huì)就是其中一員。這些機(jī)構(gòu)旨在幫助窮人獲得實(shí)惠的可再生能源。有了小額信貸,窮人不再需要排隊(duì)數(shù)小時(shí)購(gòu)買煤油點(diǎn)燈,或者跋涉數(shù)英里拾柴做飯。
印度最大的小額信貸機(jī)構(gòu)SKS(SKSMicrofinance)為其500萬(wàn)客戶提供太陽(yáng)能燈,農(nóng)村太陽(yáng)能電力(GrameenSuryaBijlee)基金會(huì)則為印度、尼泊爾和孟加拉國(guó)的村民購(gòu)買太陽(yáng)能燈、家用和街道用太陽(yáng)能照明設(shè)施提供信貸支持。

“水隔離”指的是窮人獲取水資源的成本高于富人的現(xiàn)象,這種說法必將引發(fā)關(guān)注。但是,這一問題涉及的經(jīng)濟(jì)因素有哪些,又該如何解決?在有些國(guó)家,人們無(wú)法獲得清潔用水,主要原因是缺乏基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。有些地區(qū)公共基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施匱乏,人們只能從流動(dòng)送水車上購(gòu)水,或者長(zhǎng)途跋涉到有水井的地方取水,因此獲取水資源的成本變高。頗為矛盾的是,獲取水資源的成本變高了,水質(zhì)卻在下降。自來水通常比流動(dòng)送水車或水井中的水更清潔,無(wú)論窮富,均是如此。
聯(lián)合國(guó)開發(fā)計(jì)劃署駐泰國(guó)項(xiàng)目主任哈坎·比約克曼(HakanBjorkman)說,不僅農(nóng)村地區(qū)存在這一問題,連大城市也不例外。他還補(bǔ)充說,窮人往往不能從補(bǔ)貼地方供水系統(tǒng)中受益。
針對(duì)水資源問題,聯(lián)合國(guó)開發(fā)計(jì)劃署提出了“三步走”的解決方案:第一步,將每天保證20升(即5加侖)清潔用水列為一項(xiàng)人權(quán);第二步,由地方政府負(fù)責(zé)落實(shí)這項(xiàng)人權(quán);第三步,投資修建供水基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施,為人們提供清潔用水。《人類發(fā)展報(bào)告》指出,各國(guó)政府,特別是發(fā)展中國(guó)家,應(yīng)至少拿出GDP的1%用于解決水資源供應(yīng)和衛(wèi)生設(shè)施問題。該報(bào)告還建議,應(yīng)更有針對(duì)性地提供國(guó)外援助資金解決這些問題。但比約克曼也坦陳,這項(xiàng)解決方案顯然需要政府部門的引導(dǎo)。當(dāng)然,還有其他一些市場(chǎng)化的解決方案。
《人類發(fā)展報(bào)告》還指出,科特迪瓦首都阿比讓(Abidjan)的一家私營(yíng)水廠以低價(jià)向窮人供水,使人們逐漸用上了清潔用水。聯(lián)合國(guó)開發(fā)計(jì)劃署建議各國(guó)政府對(duì)供水系統(tǒng)提供補(bǔ)貼,但是,如果國(guó)家能利用提供清潔水資源的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益,就沒必要再提供補(bǔ)貼。
在發(fā)展中國(guó)家,水傳播性疾病十分常見,但是如果能獲得清潔飲用水,人們死于水傳播性疾病的概率就會(huì)大大降低,并能延長(zhǎng)壽命,提高生產(chǎn)力,增加繳稅,國(guó)家最終也能從中獲益。因此,只要國(guó)家能保證供水產(chǎn)業(yè)的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益,就能吸引社會(huì)力量投資建設(shè)供水基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。同樣,私營(yíng)供水企業(yè)如果確信在一個(gè)地區(qū)的投資能在多年后獲得回報(bào),他們自然也樂意投資。
同時(shí),人們也在尋找本土化的解決方案。比約克曼說,在泰國(guó),一些小型社區(qū)自發(fā)解決供水等難題。他說:“人們自發(fā)組織起來,利用有限的資源幫助社區(qū)解決問題,在農(nóng)村地區(qū)尤其如此。人們把錢投入周轉(zhuǎn)基金,參與儲(chǔ)蓄計(jì)劃,齊心協(xié)力建設(shè)自己的村莊?!辈贿^,在其他國(guó)家實(shí)施和推廣這些解決方案并不簡(jiǎn)單。一個(gè)國(guó)家或地區(qū)要想找到可行的供水解決方案,首先就要整合各種應(yīng)對(duì)方法。

即使遇到豐收年景,對(duì)中國(guó)來說,要用世界百分之七的耕地養(yǎng)活全球五分之一的人口仍是一項(xiàng)艱巨的任務(wù)。
中國(guó)政府面臨許多挑戰(zhàn),最嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)之一就是耕地流失。過去幾年中,平均每年有66.7萬(wàn)公頃耕地被城市擴(kuò)建、工業(yè)發(fā)展以及公路建設(shè)工程占用,另有一萬(wàn)平方公里的耕地被沙漠吞噬。
中國(guó)北方地區(qū)地下水位下降,農(nóng)民不得不改種耐旱、低產(chǎn)作物,甚至撂荒。同時(shí),農(nóng)業(yè)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施損耗嚴(yán)重,三分之二的灌溉設(shè)施需要整修。
由于農(nóng)民為增加收入而改種經(jīng)濟(jì)作物,農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)方式正在轉(zhuǎn)變。過去十幾年,全國(guó)水果和蔬菜種植面積平均每年增加130萬(wàn)公頃。因此,水稻、玉米及小麥產(chǎn)量急劇下降。中國(guó)已由糧食凈出口國(guó)變?yōu)榧Z食凈進(jìn)口國(guó)。
中國(guó)政府把農(nóng)業(yè)改革視為頭等大事,投入大量資金用于提高小麥和稻米的收購(gòu)價(jià)以及改進(jìn)農(nóng)田灌溉基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。近年來,農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的價(jià)格穩(wěn)步上升,中國(guó)政府采取此項(xiàng)措施以提高農(nóng)民種糧的積極性。正確答案:Eveninagoodharvestyear,itisstillanarduoustaskforChinatofeedone-fifthoftheworld'spopulationwith7%oftheearth'sfarmland.

不過,曼紐爾·加西亞·穆里洛說,隨后的進(jìn)展出人意料。當(dāng)時(shí),一家日托所因廚房設(shè)施不合格,即將被衛(wèi)生部門關(guān)停。就在此時(shí),建筑工人伯納多·貝尼特斯(BernardoBenBez)主動(dòng)提出免費(fèi)為日托所廚房修筑墻壁,鋪設(shè)瓷磚;而后,成人教育老師瑪麗亞·何塞·卡莫納(MariaJosiCarmona)也挺身而出,主動(dòng)幫助清理新整修的廚房。
就這樣,志愿者們接踵而至?,F(xiàn)在每逢周日,這座西班牙西南部小鎮(zhèn)的老老少少都會(huì)為小鎮(zhèn)做一些事情,有的幫忙打掃街道、清理落葉、疏通排水管道,有的則在公園里植樹綠化。
加西亞說:“這都是人們的自發(fā)行為,我們每天都會(huì)跟他們講政府沒錢了,當(dāng)然,他們也看得出來,因?yàn)槿诵械纼膳缘牟莓?dāng)時(shí)都高到膝蓋了?!?/p>
從多個(gè)方面來看,伊格拉德-拉塞雷納鎮(zhèn)都是西班牙經(jīng)濟(jì)困境的一個(gè)縮影。當(dāng)時(shí),西班牙建筑行業(yè)崩潰,大型基建項(xiàng)目超支,欠款大量積壓,中央和地方政府都為此焦頭爛額,許多小鎮(zhèn)也未能幸免。
但是,由于當(dāng)?shù)鼐用裨谡С植蛔〉臅r(shí)候挺身而出,伊格拉德-拉塞雷納鎮(zhèn)現(xiàn)在在西班牙小有名氣。加西亞說,現(xiàn)在經(jīng)常有其他鎮(zhèn)的官員打電話過來取經(jīng)。他和另外兩位選舉上任的政府官員都不拿工資,甚至主動(dòng)放棄了專車和電話這些常用工作配備。
加西亞說:“我們過去入不敷出,投資建設(shè)了一些不必要的市政工程,現(xiàn)在我們是真的破產(chǎn)了?!彼€說,歐盟的援助款本應(yīng)用于政府日常運(yùn)作開支,并且按計(jì)劃可以用到2013年,但這些錢已經(jīng)花光了。
伊格拉德-拉塞雷納鎮(zhèn)有大約900戶居民,周圍都是耕地,傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)業(yè)是生豬養(yǎng)殖和橄欖種植。當(dāng)年,該鎮(zhèn)也加入建筑熱潮中,建立了一個(gè)文化中心,并投資了一家小型療養(yǎng)院。但是這些項(xiàng)目卻面臨擱置以及成本超支的困境。
文化中心的洗手間還未建好。位于小鎮(zhèn)邊緣刷了白粉墻的療養(yǎng)院至今仍未開放。這兩個(gè)項(xiàng)目加起來共拖欠銀行47萬(wàn)美元。過去,小鎮(zhèn)入不敷出,累積下大量欠款,這些欠款現(xiàn)在成為鎮(zhèn)政府背負(fù)的主要債務(wù),包括醫(yī)療用品開支、燃油燃料費(fèi)、道路維護(hù)費(fèi)、電氣工程費(fèi)以及節(jié)假日樂師表演費(fèi)用。
伊格拉德-拉塞雷納鎮(zhèn)還留有幾名工作人員。目前有一名圖書管理員和兩名道路清潔工,都是半工半薪;還有一名體育館兼職員工、一名秘書和一名行政人員,他們的薪水一部分由鎮(zhèn)政府負(fù)責(zé),其余部分則用通過各種融資渠道籌措的資金來支付。在此之前,鎮(zhèn)政府的工作人員數(shù)量是現(xiàn)在的兩倍。健身體育館現(xiàn)在每天只開放四個(gè)小時(shí),如果工作人員生病了,志愿者就必須接手這些工作,否則場(chǎng)館只能暫時(shí)關(guān)閉。

十年來,中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)快速發(fā)展,經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力、綜合國(guó)力、人民生活水平邁上新的臺(tái)階,國(guó)家面貌發(fā)生了舉世矚目的歷史性變化,為促進(jìn)亞洲和世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)做出了重要貢獻(xiàn)。
中國(guó)雖然取得了舉世矚目的發(fā)展成就,但仍然是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國(guó)家,經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展面臨巨大的人口、資源、環(huán)境壓力,發(fā)展中不平衡、不協(xié)調(diào)、不可持續(xù)問題依然突出。
2011年,中國(guó)開始實(shí)施國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)發(fā)展第十二個(gè)五年規(guī)劃綱要,提出了今后五年中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展的總體任務(wù)。
未來五年,中國(guó)將著力實(shí)施擴(kuò)大內(nèi)需特別是消費(fèi)需求的戰(zhàn)略,建立長(zhǎng)效機(jī)制,釋放消費(fèi)潛力,著力促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)向依靠消費(fèi)、投資、出口協(xié)調(diào)拉動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)變。
中國(guó)將著力實(shí)施“走出去”戰(zhàn)略,引導(dǎo)各類所有制企業(yè)有序到境外投資,積極開展有利于改善當(dāng)?shù)鼗A(chǔ)設(shè)施和人民生活的項(xiàng)目合作。
中國(guó)將著力參與全球經(jīng)濟(jì)治理和區(qū)域合作,推動(dòng)國(guó)際經(jīng)濟(jì)金融體系改革,推動(dòng)建立均衡、普惠、共贏的多邊貿(mào)易體制,反對(duì)各種形式的保護(hù)主義,促進(jìn)國(guó)際經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序朝著更加公正合理的方向發(fā)展。正確答案:Overthepastdecade,Chinahasenjoyedrapidandsustainedgrowthinitseconomy,withitseconomicstrength,comprehensivenationalpowerandpeople'slivingstandardreachinganewhigh.TheboomingeconomyhastransformedChina'snationallandscapeoverallandservedasapowerfuldriverforeconomicgrowthinAsiaandbeyond.

丹麥?zhǔn)锥几绫竟?jì)劃于2025年建成碳中和城市,而在建中的“自行車高速公路”正是該計(jì)劃實(shí)施的措施之一。根據(jù)“自行車高速公路”的官方介紹,該公路最大的亮點(diǎn)是在交叉路口或遇到紅綠燈時(shí),騎手無(wú)須避讓汽車和卡車,從而方便他們長(zhǎng)距離騎行。
這些自行車專用道真有聽起來這么好嗎?近來,幾乎所有大城市都大張旗鼓地宣稱要鼓勵(lì)市民騎車出行,但將這種豪言壯語(yǔ)付諸實(shí)踐的城市卻寥寥無(wú)幾。當(dāng)前的城市街道早已擁堵不堪,要想重新設(shè)計(jì)交通系統(tǒng),增設(shè)自行車專用車道,是非常困難的,尤其是在像哥本哈根這樣歷史悠久的城市中,道路多由鵝卵石鋪成,本身就比較狹窄,實(shí)施這一舉措更是難上加難。但哥本哈根的騎行計(jì)劃聽起來如此雄心勃勃,于是我便去體驗(yàn)了一把。
如果我住在阿姆斯特丹、科隆或其他有著完善騎行配套設(shè)施的城市,那么我的看法可能會(huì)積極樂觀一些。但我是一個(gè)倫敦人,每當(dāng)政客們承諾為自行車出行提供便利時(shí),結(jié)果如何我是親自領(lǐng)教過的,因此我對(duì)這種承諾往往都將信將疑。倫敦市長(zhǎng)鮑里斯·約翰遜(BorisJohnson)本人熱衷于騎行,他發(fā)布了一些標(biāo)題寓意十分美好的政策文件,比如“自行車革命”。同時(shí),他還繼續(xù)推行其前任的自行車計(jì)劃,啟動(dòng)了自行車租賃服務(wù),并新建了多條自行車道。
你可能會(huì)覺得目前看著還不錯(cuò)。但如果你見識(shí)到了糟糕的路況,就不會(huì)這樣想了。自行車道坑坑洼洼,時(shí)不時(shí)還會(huì)碰到停放的卡車和堵在道上的建筑垃圾,似乎設(shè)計(jì)這些車道的人從沒見過自行車,更別提騎過了。在倫敦,騎手們也會(huì)互相聊起在設(shè)計(jì)不當(dāng)?shù)淖孕熊嚨郎向T行的恐怖經(jīng)歷,這些車道要么前面沒路了也不立個(gè)警示牌,要么會(huì)把人困在相反的方向。不過,最危險(xiǎn)的當(dāng)屬貝斯納爾格林路(BethnalGreenRoad)上新建的一條自行車道,這條車道中間競(jìng)有一盞路燈,如果有誰(shuí)貿(mào)然騎上了這條路,到了路燈前又沒緊急剎車,非撞上不可。

能源安全同世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的穩(wěn)定發(fā)展和各國(guó)人民的福祉息息相關(guān)。在當(dāng)前國(guó)際金融危機(jī)背景下,維護(hù)全球能源安全對(duì)有效應(yīng)對(duì)國(guó)際金融危機(jī)沖擊、推動(dòng)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)全面復(fù)蘇和長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)發(fā)展具有重要意義。
國(guó)際社會(huì)應(yīng)樹立互利合作、多元發(fā)展、協(xié)同保障的新能源安全觀,共同穩(wěn)定能源等大宗商品價(jià)格、防止過度投機(jī)和炒作,保障各國(guó)特別是發(fā)展中國(guó)家能源需求,維護(hù)能源市場(chǎng)正常秩序。同時(shí),各國(guó)應(yīng)改善能源結(jié)構(gòu),加強(qiáng)先進(jìn)能源技術(shù)的研發(fā)和推廣,大力發(fā)展清潔和可再生能源,在相關(guān)領(lǐng)域積極開展國(guó)際合作。
中國(guó)政府高度重視能源和能源安全問題。在解決中國(guó)的能源問題上,始終堅(jiān)持節(jié)約優(yōu)先、立足國(guó)內(nèi)、多元發(fā)展、保護(hù)環(huán)境的原則,加強(qiáng)國(guó)際互利合作,大力改善和調(diào)整能源結(jié)構(gòu),努力構(gòu)筑穩(wěn)定、經(jīng)濟(jì)、清潔、安全的能源供應(yīng)體系。中國(guó)愿與世界各國(guó)一道共同努力,建立起能源合作長(zhǎng)效機(jī)制,為保障全球能源安全、應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化做出應(yīng)有的貢獻(xiàn)。正確答案:Energysecurityhasaclosebearingonthestabilityandgrowthoftheworldeconomyandthewell-beingofpeopleinallcountries.Againstthebackdropofthecurrentinternationalfinancialcrisis,globalenergysecurityisvitaltocushioningtheimpactofthecrisisandachievingthefullrecoveryandlong-termdevelopmentoftheworldeconomy.
