视频:专访公众环境研究中心创始人马军

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 从媒体人到发现水危机,从发现危机到寻找解决问题的办法,公众环境领军人物马军用自己的实际行动来帮助解决中国水危机问题。他不仅提出问题,而且积极解决问题,为中国污水治理和环境保护事业做出了不可磨灭的贡献。

马军说,中国的水危机非常严重,但是,他也发现,由于中国成为世界工厂,那么,产品在中国生产,但是,污染都留在了中国,因此,必须要求所有的污染者参与污染的治理。所谓污染者更需要付出。由于他们的努力,在中国的跨国企业后来也积极参与污水治理。

马军说,通过信息公开,通过政府的信息公开,使得很多企业最后不得不从源头治理污水,通过绿色选择,让各个环节的公司和企业都要承担自己的社会责任。

马军说,从2014年开始,中国政府也高度重视污染治理,正像环保部长李干杰说的那样,中国的小环保,变成了大环保,就是各个部门进行协同作战,共同采取行动。通过对上万家公司的污染曝光使得污染者无处可逃,最后不得不治理,或者关停并转。

马军说,在他们的工作过程中,象阿拉善,阿里基金等都进行了协作。中国政府也都很重视他们的数据和事实。中国政府的大政方针作出了正确的调整,科学发展,生态文明都是正确的方针。

我们就是想为企业建立一个公平竞争的环境,原来是谁污染谁占便宜,所以,我们的行动得到了承认,环保部也都采纳了我们的意见。

马军说他们创造了《蔚蓝地图》APP,让每个人都可以一目了然地了解公司的排放情况。一开始,有些公司还不了解,但是,当中央发出严格要求的时候,我们的数据对企业达标排放提供了有用的数据。

只要搜索Blue Map,或者蔚蓝地图,就可以找到。

对于未来,马军认为我们这一代人有责任把环境保护好,把污染治理好。为了下一代有更好的环境,我们必须承担更大的责任。

同时,他对未来也充满信心。从过去五年中国对环境污染治理的力度看,如果社会各界都能够联合起来,真正负起责任来,解决问题的效率还是会进一步提高的。

Video: Swedish Water Expert Jan Lindqvist: What China has done is extraordinary and unprecedented

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 30(Greenpost) — Jan Lindqvist, a senior expert working in Stockholm International Water Institute went to China in December 1979 for the first time. He has recalled his experience then and told us that China has made extraordinary and unprecedented progress since then. Greenpost’s chief editor Xuefei Chen Axelsson has interviewed him on the opening plenary session day during the World Water Week in Stockholm. Please watch the video.

Professor Jan Lindqvist said he actually studied Economics but he got a professor job in water department in Linköping University because water issue is not just about water itself, it needs engineers, biologists and economists and many others to solve the complicated water issues.

Professor Lindqvist led a project called from Field to Fork and called on people to stop wasting food and live a healthy lifestyle in modern times.

He said with the increase of population and the expansion of production and consumption, how to balance the individual needs with the limitation of natural resources on us is also an important issue for us to think about and choose the right and healthy way to live.

时评:香港的繁荣稳定是14亿中国人的最大诉求和期待

北欧绿色邮报网 评论员 陈雪霏

最近,中国外交部新闻发言人耿爽表示,维护香港繁荣稳定是包括香港人在内的14亿中国人的共同意志和最大诉求与期待。

香港与大陆可以说是一衣带水,与祖国大陆最近也最亲。回想当年,改革开放初期,海外赤子的爱国热情无不让人感动,至今,无论走到哪里,我们都会唱那首《我的中国心》。这首歌代表了香港同胞爱国的真情实感,它也实在是感动了大陆十多亿人口中每个人的心。无论何时,无论何地,只要一唱这首歌,就让我们感动,让我们激动,让我们产生一种说不出的爱国情怀。而这种情怀也一直深深地感动着我们50后、60后和70后。

是否到了80后,90后,这种情怀就改变了呢?我想时代在变,但是我们的心没有变。大陆明白,我们是想要一个活的香港,而不是死气沉沉的香港。活的香港就是一个繁荣稳定,充满活力的香港。这也是“一国两制”的初衷。

据历史资料记载与回忆,老一辈革命家,都是希望香港繁荣稳定,希望它成为连接东西方的坚实纽带。改革开放30年间,尤其是改革开放之初的八十年代,九十年代,香港确实是为祖国的招商引资和大陆投资作出过巨大贡献。这些,祖国是不会忘记的,祖国也是很明白的。

但是,香港毕竟是香港,是中国的香港,它不是国外,或者是外国,因此,很多人对去香港还要办港澳通行证是不太理解的。但是,大陆尊重香港人的意见,还是要这样做。香港在东南亚金融危机的时候,需要大陆张开援助之手,朱镕基总理就带领大型代表团去大量采购。只要香港需要,祖国一定伸出援助之手。

当然,多年来,香港人一直觉得大陆的生活水平是不如香港的,尤其是大陆游客到香港购物的疯狂,让人觉得好像大陆的货就是大陆货。但是,对于大陆人有钱了,什么都买,又有点儿不舒服。香港人的心态可能是离祖国越近,又越怕失去自己的感觉。

但是,最近的游行一直不停,怎么解释呢?和一些朋友聊过之后,人们觉得,香港人确实害怕失去自我,害怕在法制上完全与内地相同。这一点,或许是可以理解。但也让人不能理解,因为毕竟法律是有漏洞的,是需要根据实际情况不断修正的。更让人不理解的是,为什么游行要持续这么长时间?

在真正的西方民主社会,例如在新西兰,笔者见过,基督城坎特伯雷大学的学生因为抗议涨学费而上街游行,但他们只是从校园走到大街上,到市中心,不到一个小时,喊喊口号,然后,就结束了。我问他们为什么这么快就结束了,他们说,我们就是要表达一下我们的意见,下一步就是需要议会去讨论一下。学生们就回学校继续学习,耐心等待议会讨论的结果。事实上,即使议会讨论结果真的增加了学费,他们也是会尊重议会的决定。非常理性,非常成熟。

同样,几年前在英国伦敦,学生们也是到市中心进行示威游行。但是,游行不到两三天,他们也就结束了,尽管有一部分人常年抗议这个抗议那个,但是,都是在遵守法律,尊重警察监督的情况下,很小规模的抗议示威。人们都知道适可而止,要给相关部门时间来解决问题。这是理性的。更重要的是,也没有群众去所谓声援学生之类的行为,或许这就是学生们也会理性的一个原因。

现在来看香港游行,目前已经持续将近两个月了,而且是变本加厉地提要求。笔者以为,香港特首林郑月娥宣布停止讨论《修订条例》后,学生们就应该结束游行,回到学校。如果是那样的话,就是正当的民主表达,也不会有什么秋后算账一说。但是,问题可笑的是,有的人好像心虚,觉得自己的行为本身有可能被秋后算账,因此,才变本加厉,而且希望市民,或者是各行各业的群众也要支持他们,以彰显他们行为的正确性。或者是群众就是想让学生们在前头,他们就在后面推。

事实上,这是用一个错误来掩盖另一个错误。尽管你们的主张是对的,但事实上你们的行为已经造成了交通阻塞,这本身就是影响了公共秩序。有的人还和警察发生冲突,袭击警察,即使是少数,这也是游行造成的后果。任何一次游行示威,尤其是在发展中国家,不发达国家,据本记者观察,都会造成一小部分不法分子或者说捣乱分子扰乱社会秩序,或者出现砸车事件,或者出现抢商店事件,总之,总会有损失。而象新西兰坎特伯雷大学生那样的文明游行行为非常少。当然,他们就是人数不多。依照香港的水平,我们的期望值是堪比新西兰或加拿大。但这次在香港人数那么多,有些少数人如何如何,有人认为可以理解,但我不能理解,正因为人数多,对社会的影响就更大,事实上,后果也是不可控制。尤其是后来到机场等公共场所的行为都是构成故意影响公共秩序了。而这其中有些行为构成犯罪行为。而这种行为是学生领袖无法控制的,也控制不了的。

另外,大多数人是爱国爱港的,我非常相信这一点。但是,对于违法犯罪的这一部分人怎么办?就是在这种乱的过程中造成了这样的后果。

古人的《大学之道》指出,大学之道,在明明德,在亲民,在止于至善。知止而后有定,定而后能静,静而后能安,安而后能虑,虑而后能得,物有本末,事有终始,知所先后,则近道矣!什么意思呢?就是说,无论你要达到什么目的,都要能够安定团结,然后,才能想出更好的办法来达到目的。知道先做什么后做什么,怎么做,才能达到目的。

而现在的学生,据我所读到的材料是很多中学生大学生都参与进来,就是轮流到大街上去,至于何时停止,心中都没有数。不排除随大流的人。

最近,林郑月娥也提出了要对话,坐下来谈,因此,笔者认为学生们是该回到学校去了。马上是否也该开学了,学生回到学校,老师回到课堂。该干什么干什么。不要把大好的光阴都浪费在大街上。

年轻人有一腔热血,有爱国热情。但是,如果走偏了,也是容易浪费时间的。无论发生什么,最后,作为学生,作为老师,还是要把自己的本职工作做好为上。

香港是中国的香港,也是中国人的香港,无论是大陆人还是香港人,尤其是香港人,可以说是和大陆最近的人,因此,大陆不会失信于香港,也不会对香港完全放手不管。

因此,现在最好的解决办法就是首先停止游行。大家回到各自的学校,各自的岗位。该复课复课,该上班上班。尽快恢复香港的正常秩序。个别人犯了法,如果被抓到,被处分是避免不了的。因此,最好要遵纪守法,不要触犯法律。不要用一个错误来掩盖另一个错误。如果没有触犯法律,只是和平表达意见,那是不会受到处罚的。

说一千道一万,就是希望香港的爱国爱港学生真心珍惜香港的繁荣稳定,祖国14亿亲人也是希望你们继续维持繁荣稳定,保持和平有序的状态,一切都在法制的框架下来和平解决。因为香港和大陆毕竟是一家人,没有谈不了的事情。

14亿中国人衷心希望香港保持长期繁荣稳定,尽快恢复秩序,期待一切恢复正常!

让我们用张明敏的那首歌再一次来感受一下我们的那颗爱国爱港之心:

河山只在我梦萦

祖国已多年未亲近

可是不管怎样也改变不了我的中国心

洋装虽然穿在身

我心依然是中国心

我的祖先早已把我的一切烙上中国印

长江 长城 黄山 黄河在我心中重千斤

无论何时 无论何地心中一样亲

流在心里的血澎湃着中华的声音

就算生在他乡也改变不了我的中国心

长江 长城 黄山 黄河在我心中重千斤

无论何时 无论何地心中一样亲

流在心里的血澎湃着中华的声音

就算生在他乡也改变不了我的中国心 [4]

最近,在瑞典的青田杯乒乓球比赛结束时,包括中国驻瑞典大使桂从友在内的所有参赛者和观看的运动员,上到70多岁的爱国华人,下到华人二代,三代,齐唱《我的中国心》这首歌,让人感受到了一种心潮澎湃、激动人心的喜悦之情。

祝愿香港尽早恢复秩序!继续保持繁荣稳定!香港的繁荣稳定也是6000万海外华人华侨的心愿!

今日头条:江西中医药大学代表团与北欧中医药中心即碧云学院学员座谈会在斯德哥尔摩成功举办

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 由简晖副校长率领的江西中医药大学代表团29日下午访问北欧中医药中心即碧云学院,与中心的医师和学员举行了座谈并现场巡诊治疗。

碧云学院健康中心校长和创始人范秀兰教授(江西中医药大学客座教授)首先介绍了江西中医药大学瑞典热敏灸分院在过去两年的工作。她说,在过去两年中,他们进行了三次普及,参加人数大约60人。在这个过程中,很多人也变成了热敏灸辅导人员,给其他人带来了福音。第二,游学团到美国夏威夷进行了养生运动和热敏灸的传播,参加人数百人左右,在美国夏威夷也掀起了热敏灸的热潮。在挪威分会讲学时,也在那里进行了热敏灸的传播,参加人数大约50人左右。通过不断的传播,现在很多人都明白了中国中医自己帮助自己的最好方法就是热敏灸或艾灸,找准了穴位进行艾灸,就会增强活力。只要你能坚持,就会得到用增阳之气唤起身体的内气的效果,所以,人人喜欢。但是,提醒一点,就是一定要用高质量的好艾条治疗,这样才能达到手到病除。如果艾条质量不好,治疗时的烟反而会使人出现问题。一般三到五年的艾绒比较好,减少了烟和焦油的味儿。北欧中医药中心也为学员准备了这样的好艾绒。

简晖副校长向大家介绍了江西中医药大学的情况。他说,江西省位于华东区,坐拥最著名的瓷都景德镇,江西也是一个最绿的省份,绿地达到60%以上,在全国名列前茅,江西也有全国最大的淡水湖,有许多候鸟在这里过冬。江西的中药材非常有名,被称为中国药都。江西也是道教的发祥地。中医养生其实就是源于道教。这里有著名的庐山,也有著名的滕王阁。

简晖副校长说,江西中医药大学占地150公顷,是以中医药为主的综合大学,校园十分优美。学校有3000多名教师员工,有两万多名学生,有1500多名留学生。江西中医药大学有十分齐全的传统中医药治疗方式方法和设备,也有现代的医疗检测设备。该校科研成果硕果累累,热敏灸就是该校专家发明的。国务院副总理刘延东曾经视察江西中医药大学。大学对外交流十分活跃。他也欢迎瑞典学员到江西中医药大学留学访问。

随后,迟振海教授为大家介绍了热敏灸的原理和寻找穴位的方法并为学员进行了热敏灸示范治疗。

甘淳院长和薛汉荣院长也为学员进行了健康咨询和治疗。

斯德哥尔摩华助中心主任王建荣、瑞典华人工商联合总会会长王俞力等侨领也应邀出席了座谈会。

访问瑞典期间,江西中医药大学代表团还受到了中国驻瑞典大使馆教育文化处曹叠峰参赞的热情接待。

River flow pioneer Dr Jackie King receives 2019 Stockholm Water Prize

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson
Stockholm, 28 August (Greenpost 2019) – Dr Jackie King received the 2019 Stockholm Water Prize on Wednesday for her pioneering
research on water flows. Her work has led to a new kind of tools to
help decision-makers assess actual costs and benefits of alterations
to rivers. The prize was presented to Dr King by H.M. King Carl XVI
Gustaf of Sweden, Patron of Stockholm Water Prize, at a Royal Award Ceremony during World Water Week in Stockholm.

When congratulating the laureate, H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, praised Dr King’s ground-breaking research on river ecosystems and the social structures depending on healthy rivers, adding: “This is an
important contribution to one of the great global water challenges of our time.”
 
Dr King made a comment about her prize.
“The award shines a light on African rivers and African science and through me recognizes all African scientists. They stand by me tonight as none of us works alone.”
 
In its citation, the Stockholm Water Prize Nominating Committee noted
that “Dr Jacqueline King has, through scientific rigour, selfless dedication and effective advocacy, transformed the way we think, talk and work
with water as a flow of and for life.” 
 
Dr. King is an aquatic ecologist who co-founded the Freshwater Research Unit at the University of Cape Town where she was active for almost four decades. She became influential in the recently established field of
Environmental Flows, initially focusing on South African rivers. Later she has worked as a researcher and consultant in more than 20 countries

the Western Cape.

Torgny Holmgren, Executive Director of SIWI, emphasized the
importance of bridging the gap between science and policy: “Dr King’s
research has provided tools for decision-makers to enable them to
consider the benefits and costs around the management of river systems. Thanks to this new level of detail, governments can now make more
informed choices on how they proceed with developing their water
resources,” Mr Holmgren said. 

Dr King has advanced the scientific understanding of water flows and
developed tools and methods to assess the full range of costs and benefits when managing or developing river systems. She began developing her models as a researcher at the University of Cape Town, funded by South Africa’s Water Research Commission and influenced South Africa’s 1998 National Water Act. Today her work is increasingly guiding governments and institutions across the globe.

Macinley Butson’s project developed a new, novel and innovative ultraviolet sticker to accurately measure large UV exposures for solar disinfection of water. The SODIS sticker is capable of accurately measuring the solar UV exposure required to sanitize drinking water through two innovative products built together.

As an elated Macinley received her prize from H.R.H Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.

“I am still in complete shock. There are no words to describe how I am feeling because I can’t process what has just happened. Amazing people have inspired me so much this year and I never expected this outcome  Everyone here is doing so much amazing things and I feel confident the future is in good hands and I will never forget the connections I made here in Stockholm” said Mackinley Butson

In their citation the Jury noted that: “This year’s winning project addresses public health through renewable energy and water. The project embodies simplicity and affordability leaving no one behind. Water for society: including all! This invention is practical, ready and globally deployable. The project demonstrates experience and expertise by a dedicated and creative young scientist.”

Torgny Holmgren, Executive Director of SIWI, was very impressed by this innovative project

This inspirational project has immense potential for local and global communities. My hope is that this project will act as a catalyst to inspire others both young and old to innovate for new and sustainable ways to access clean and potable water,” Holmgren said.

A Diploma of Excellence was also awarded to Diana Virgovicova, United Kingdom, for her discovery of a New Photocatalyst to Solve Water Pollution. In their citation the Jury stated that Diana Virgovicova has.“solved a long-lasting challenge by opening new windows in using fundamental science combined with the most recent technics within chemistry to formulate a novel molecule with with high potential in promising future water treatment“

River flow champion wins 2019 Stockholm Water Prize

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Stockholm, Aug.28(Greenpost) — On March 19th, SIWI announced that Dr Jackie King was named the 2019 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate for her game-changing contributions to global river management. This evening she will receive the prize from the hands of his excellency Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf in the City Hall. The following picture was an interview with her at the opening plenary session of the World Water Week in Stockholm from Aug. 25-31.

She has advanced the scientific understanding of water flows, giving decision-makers tools to assess the real costs and benefits of river system development. Dr King led the development of the tools as a researcher at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and then as Honorary Professor at the University of the Western Cape.

With colleagues she created methods to demonstrate ecological and social implications of damming and de-watering rivers. On receiving news of the prize, Dr King said: “I find it humbling, energizing and rewarding. I have never sought high-profile jobs but was happy to be a working scientist, free to say what I felt needed to be said.”

Her commitment to raising awareness of the value of rivers and their importance for millions of people has made Dr King highly regarded by academics and water managers globally. In its citation, the Nominating Committee notes that “Dr Jacqueline King has, through scientific rigour, selfless dedication and effective advocacy, transformed the way we think, talk and work with water as a flow of and for life.”

Dr King’s work influenced South Africa’s 1998 National Water Act and is increasingly guiding governments and institutions across the globe. “Governments developing their water resources understand the potential benefits but not necessarily the costs in terms of degrading rivers. We can now show these ecological and social costs at a similar level of detail to the benefits shown by planners. It is a new kind of information to help governments better understand the trade-offs involved in development as they decide on their preferred future,” she says.

Torgny Holmgren, Executive Director at SIWI, comments that “Dr King has helped decision-makers understand that healthy river ecosystems are not a luxury, but the basis for sustainable development.”

The prize is awarded by SIWI in cooperation with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which is responsible for assessing the nominations, and will be presented by H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Patron of Stockholm.

时评:香港学生应该回到校园去立即停止任何暴力行为

北欧绿色邮报网 评论员 陈雪霏

身处北欧,本来和香港相隔万里,然而,瑞典和香港又很近,因为很多人做生意都从香港开始。香港就像是西方人进入大陆的一个跳板。然而,现在,香港的乱局却让人感觉痛心疾首。笔者以为,香港学生应该回到校园去,立即停止任何暴力行为。

今天,我刚刚读了一篇文章是一个记者和母亲给孩子们写的,说明香港依然在乱着,没有恢复平静,没有恢复秩序。香港的混乱会给香港造成无法估量的损失。

有的学生因为害怕秋后算账而变本加厉地加剧暴力行为,继续举行各种形式的示威游行。解铃还须系铃人,香港要恢复秩序,学生必须停止罢课,老师停止罢教,立即回到校园恢复秩序,不负责任的媒体,请你立即负起责任来,不要唯恐天下不乱。

香港学生因为修改法律而上街,据说很多人也都支持,但这是不负责任的行为。一个香港人,在台湾杀害了自己的女友,因为法律原因不能被引渡。结果引发游行。

笔者的观点是无论发生什么,都不应该乱,不应该暴,因为一乱,一切都会受影响。社会秩序会受影响。很多人都会受影响。

如果人们不对自己的行为负责,最后,吃亏的还是普通百姓。香港要想保持自己的地位,就必须给人以信心。否则经济政治都会受到很大损失。年轻人只知道如何不听政府的,与政府对着干,但你想想,如果你是政府官员,你能做得更好吗?

香港必须尽快恢复秩序,否则,损失很大。

中国驻瑞典大使馆发言人就瑞典一些政客、媒体和人士的错误涉港言行发表谈话

北欧绿色邮报网报道:近期,一些瑞典政客、媒体和人士就香港局势发表错误言论,少数瑞典人员在我馆大门前滋事。我们对瑞方上述错误言行表示强烈不满和坚决反对。

  我们严正重申,香港是中国的一部分,香港事务纯属中国内政,绝不容外部势力干涉。香港暴力犯罪不断升级,暴徒们堵塞道路、瘫痪交通,破坏公共设施,冲击立法会、围堵中联办、扰乱特区政府部门正常办公,围攻警署、袭击警员,非法拘禁、肆意围殴游客及记者,已经构成严重暴力犯罪,并开始出现恐怖主义的苗头。这些暴力行为与“言论集会自由”、“民主人权”没有任何关系,是一切法治、文明、理性社会不能容忍的。一些人甚至公然鼓吹“港独”,肆意侮辱国旗、国徽和区徽,公然挑战国家主权和“一国两制”原则底线。这些分裂行径是任何主权国家都无法容忍的。中国政府坚持“一国两制”方针,“一国”是“两制”的根本前提。香港当前压倒一切的急迫任务是止暴制乱,恢复秩序,维护社会繁荣稳定。

  个别瑞典政客就香港局势说三道四,罔顾事实,颠倒黑白,严重违背法治精神,干涉中国内政。少数瑞典人员在我馆大门前恶意滋扰,打出的标语捏造事实,煽动仇恨,抹黑诋毁中国,侵犯中国主权。

  我们再次要求瑞方尊重中国的主权、安全和领土完整,公开表明支持“一国两制”、反对“港独”、反对暴力的立场,不向暴乱分子发出任何错误信号。我们要求瑞方不允许借“言论自由”从事反华政治活动和宣扬暴力仇恨的活动。

World Water Week opens with calls for action on water equality

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Stockholm,Aug. 26 (Greenpost) – Humanity can only tackle today’s major challenges if access to water is distributed more fairly. When World Water Week, the leading event on global water issues, opened on Monday, speakers called for a drastic shift in how water is shared and managed.

World Water Week opens with calls for action on water equality

World Water Week 2019 is held from the 25-30 August in Stockholm, Sweden, with this year’s theme being Water for Society: Including all. The conference is organized by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and has been running for 29 years.

In his welcoming address, SIWI’s Executive Director Torgny Holmgren stressed the importance of using water to solve global challenges. “Many in our societies are not aware of the vital role that water plays in realizing prosperity, eradicating poverty and tackling the climate crisis. Together, we can change that perception and unlock the potential of water-related solutions,” Holmgren said.

Peter Eriksson, Minister for International Development Cooperation from the Government of Sweden also advocated for better water governance and warned that with current trends, 52 per cent of the world’s population and 40 per cent of global grain production could be put at risk by 2051, adding: “Poor and marginalized populations will be disproportionately affected, which will further worsen the rising inequalities.”

River champion Dr Jackie King, Stockholm Water Prize Laureate 2019, found it encouraging that the rights of nature are increasingly recognized and noted that “We have the methods and the technology, but need the momentum to make them work.”

Access to open data is one of most important technological changes, said Ma Jun, Founder of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs, China, whose pollution database plays an important role to protect water quality. He now pushes for more transparency.

Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, spoke about how ecosystems are more protected where the rights of indigenous peoples are respected. She asked the water community to condemn the growing violence against indigenous activists: “If those who try to protect the environment are killed, there is less of a chance for us all to protect the last biodiversity resources.”

More than 2000 delegates will attend the week long global water event.

2019南京经开区创新发展恳谈会在斯德哥尔摩成功举办

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 2019南京经开区创新发展恳谈会在斯德哥尔摩成功举办。

南京经开区管委会主任沈吉鸿首先致辞。他说,来瑞典三天发现南京和瑞典有很多相似之处,两地人民都很友善,两地都有小桥流水,但是,两地在科技创新方面也高度契合。南京目前非常重视创新发展战略,谋求经济高质量发展。南京积极开展创新城市建设,以创新为名片走向世界各地推动科技创新合作。

沈吉鸿说,南京经开区是南京科技创新和经贸发展的桥头堡,一直与瑞典保持良好的合作关系,并在智能装备,汽车制造,生命健康等领域探讨合作。瑞典阿特拉斯克普克等著名公司在本世纪初就植根南京,投资设立研发中心和生产中心。他希望瑞典能有更多科学家和公司了解南京并和南京有更多科技创新合作项目。

中国驻瑞典使馆科技参赞戴钢也在恳谈会上致辞。他对南京代表团的来访表示欢迎。他说,瑞典是世界上创新领先的国家,她在最近的一次全球创新指数排名位居第二。中国在创新方面也进步非常迅速,今年的创新排名位列第14名,因此,与瑞典合作潜力巨大。他说,中国现在很有吸引力,因为她非常重视知识产权的保护,在这方面进步非常大。双方很早就签署了科技合作协议支持两国科学家进行科技合作。南京是一个创新城市,去年张市长来访,今天的活动也是去年访问的一个后续行动,希望双方合作取得丰硕成果。

瑞中贸易委员会秘书长伊丽莎白.苏迪珊女士致辞说,瑞典在研发方面非常重视,固定投入GDP的3%于研发方面。瑞典一直致力于在全球创新方面处于领先地位,我们愿意与中国这样的国家进行深入合作。希望未来的合作更加密切。
