The planet was rapidly reaching a "point of no return," cutting down forests, polluting rivers and oceans, and ploughing grasslands3 "into oblivion."

自然界的退化正在破坏人类赖以生存的食物、水和资源,而且已经危及全球40%的人口(32亿人)的生存。
 
But fortunately, the Earth is resilient and "we still have time to reverse the damage we have done," he added.
幸运的是,地球是有恢复能力的,我们还有时间扭转自己造成的破坏。
 
By restoring ecosystems, he said that "we can drive a transformation9 that will contribute to the achievement of all the Sustainable Development Goals."
通过恢复生态系统,可以推动一场变革,这将有助于实现所有可持续发展目标。
 
"Accomplishing these things will not only safeguard the planet's resources. It will create millions of new jobs by 2030, generate returns of over 7 trillion US dollars every year and help eliminate poverty and hunger."
做好有关工作,不仅能保护地球资源,而且到2030年,这场变革将创造数百万新的就业机会,每年产生超过7万亿美元的回报并帮助消除贫困和饥饿。
 
He pointed10 out that the next 10 years are "our final chance to avert11 a climate catastrophe12, turn back the deadly tide of pollution and end species loss."
未来十年是避免气候灾难、扭转致命污染浪潮、终结物种丧失的最后机会。
