【重要讲话】
我国人工造林规模世界第一,而且还在继续造林。地球绿化,改善全球气候变化,中国功不可没,中国人民功不可没。森林既是水库、钱库、粮库,也是碳库。植树造林是一件很有意义的事情,是一项功在当代、利在千秋的崇高事业,要一以贯之、持续做下去。
China ranks the first in the world in terms of artificial afforestation areas, and the scale is still expanding. China and its people have made invaluable contributions to making the earth greener and responding to global climate change. Forests help conserve water, bring in economic benefits, boost grain production and also serve as a carbon sink. Planting trees is a noble cause of great significance which creates benefits for not only our generation but also future generations. We must continue our endeavor in this regard with consistent and persistent efforts.
