联合国经社部官员朱巨望在第四届世界食学论坛上强调全球食物危机的严峻性及应对之道

2023年10月10日，第四届世界食学论坛在海口拉开帷幕，来自各行各业的代表齐聚一堂，旨在讨论人类在食物获取与利用过程中所面临的挑战，并寻求切实可行的整体解决方案。开幕式上，联合国经社部公共机构和数字政府司司长、可持续发展司代司长朱巨望发表了重要视频讲话，深刻阐述了当前全球食物危机的严重性和迫切性。
 
朱巨望首先对本届论坛的召开表示热烈的祝贺，他指出，全球正面临着严峻的食物危机。全球范围内有超过7.8亿人处于饥饿之中，30多亿人无法负担健康膳食。与此同时，全球将近三分之一的食物遭到浪费。不可持续的食品生产、包装和消费正在推动气候危机，导致巨大的温室气体排放、大量淡水消耗以及生物多样性的大规模丧失。

朱巨望还特别提到了中国的成功经验。中国在过去几十年里解决了14亿人的“吃饱”问题，同时还推动了“健康中国”倡议。这些令人振奋的成就为世界在确保粮食安全和公共卫生方面面临的严峻挑战提供了重要的启示。

正如联合国秘书长在今年7月的联合国粮食体系峰会阶段成果总结推进大会上所强调的，我们的全球食物系统已经破裂。朱巨望指出，为了拯救这个破碎的全球食物系统，我们需要采取三项重要行动：首先，需要大规模投资，建设可持续、公平、健康和有韧性的食品体系；其次，政府和企业必须共同努力，建立以人为本、以人民的利益为先的制度体系，而非以利润为中心；第三，我们必须建立能够帮助结束对地球的毫无意义破坏，并促进气候行动的食物系统。
 

朱巨望的演讲引发了与会代表们的广泛讨论，也为本届论坛的讨论提供了重要的参考。第四届世界食学论坛将推动全球各界持续合作，改善食品安全、推广可持续农业、提升全球营养和公共卫生水平，并通过推动设立食学框架标准，共同应对全球的食物危机，为全球食物系统的可持续性变革贡献力力量。

发言原文（英）：
Dear participants,
I am honored to share warm greetings with all participants on the occasion of the 4th World Shiology Forum. Our deep appreciation goes to the Hainan Provincial Government for hosting this forum. Allow me to commend Mr. Liu Guangwei for his leadership in advancing the shiology theory and practice. Our thanks also go to Mr. Liu Zhenmin and Mr. Sun Xiansheng for their commitment to advancing international partnerships for food security based on the shiology framework.
In deed, this is a timely discussion about food system, public health, and sustainable development. At the time when the overall implementation of 2030 Agenda and progress towards the SDGs are seriously off-track, the forum focus on linkages and integration between food security, sustainable agriculture, and public health, promises to open up new thinking and new policy measures in these vital areas.
It is fitting that this forum is taking place in China. Over the past few decades, China has solved the problem of feeding its 1.4 billion people, while also advancing the healthy China initiative. These inspiring achievements offer important lessons for the world facing grim challenges in ensuring food security and public health.
As the Secretary-General highlighted at the UN Food Systems Summit + 2 Stocktaking Moment this past July, our global food systems are broken. Today more than 780 million people are going hungry, while nearly one-third of all food produced is lost or wasted. More than 3 billion cannot afford healthy diets, and two billion people are overweight or obese. At the same time, 462 million are underweight, meanwhile unsustainable food production, packaging, and consumption are feeding the climate crisis, generating one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions, using 70% of the world's freshwater, and driving biodiversity loss on an epic scale.
The UN Secretary-General has called for coordinated efforts to rescue this broken global food system. Let me use today's occasion to share with you three actions put forward by the Secretary-General this past July. First, we need a massive investment in sustainable, equitable, healthy, and resilient food systems. Second, governments and businesses must work together to build systems that put people first, that put people over profit. And third, we must put in place food systems that can help end the senseless destruction of our planet and that can contribute to climate action.
We look forward to this forum's discussion on these crucial issues and to your ideas and recommendations. Likewise, we look forward to our continued collaboration in advancing food security, sustainable agriculture, improved nutrition, and public health, including through the implementation of the shiology framework.
We wish you a fruitful discussion. Thank you.
