聯(lián)合國成立數(shù)字合作高級別小組

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced the launch of the High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation, appointing Jack Ma of Alibaba Group and Melinda Gates of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to co-chair it.

日前，聯(lián)合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯宣布成立數(shù)字合作高級別小組，任命阿里巴巴集團董事局主席馬云和比爾及梅琳達·蓋茨基金會聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人梅琳達·蓋茨為小組聯(lián)合主席。

The scale, spread and speed of change made possible by digital technologies is unprecedented, Guterres said.

古特雷斯表示，數(shù)字技術引發(fā)了極大的變革，其規(guī)模、范圍和速度前所未有。

In addition, he noted digital technologies make a significant contribution to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.

他還表示，數(shù)字技術對于實現(xiàn)2030年可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程具有重要意義。

Therefore, the UN chief said, cooperation across domains and across borders is critical to realizing the full social and economic potential of digital technologies, as well as mitigating the risks that they pose and curtailing any unintended consequences.

因此，這位聯(lián)合國秘書長稱，跨國界跨領域合作對于全面實現(xiàn)數(shù)字技術的社會和經(jīng)濟潛力、減輕數(shù)字技術帶來的風險、減少非預期后果至關重要。

"In this digital era, data and technology are more broadly available, enabling entrepreneurialism, economic growth, and improved quality of life for those who have the access and training to leverage it," said Jack Ma.

馬云表示：“在這個數(shù)字時代，人們能夠更廣泛地獲取數(shù)據(jù)和技術，這使得那些有機會獲得技術并接受過相關培訓、因而能夠利用技術的人可以進行創(chuàng)業(yè)，促進經(jīng)濟增長，提高生活質量。”

"Global, cross-sector collaboration is critical to ensure the benefits of the digital era are possible for all."

“全球的跨部門合作對于確保所有人都能享受數(shù)字時代的利益至關重要。”

"If all people, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, have equal access to digital technology, they will use it to improve life for themselves and their families and raise their voices in conversations about what the future holds. Enabling this wide scale empowerment is what this panel is about," said Melinda Gates.

梅琳達·蓋茨稱：“如果所有人，特別是窮人和弱勢群體，都能平等使用數(shù)字技術，那么這將能幫助他們改善自己和家人的生活，并在談論未來的前景時提高他們的聲音。讓數(shù)字技術獲得廣泛使用，就是這個小組的職責所在。”
