Last week I signed an MOU with the Maltese government to base SUNx in Malta under the patronage of the Ministry of Tourism. This will give a secure long-term base for our operations and will institutionalize the organization through the support of a progressive European government.
上周，我与马耳他政府签署合作备忘录（Memorandum of Understanding, MOU）。SUNx设立在马耳他的基地，将获得当地旅游局的鼎力支持。这项进展，将为我们提供一个长期、可靠的工作基础。同时，我们的工作，在获得马耳他这一进步欧洲政府的支持后，可更加制度化。

The MOU provides an administrative and financing framework for the following:
该合作备忘录将提供如下行政及财务架构：

(1) An Annual Climate Friendly Travel - State of the Sector Report delivered in the sidelines of UN General Assembly in New York. The first report is scheduled for September of this year and will be released at a dinner remembering Maurice Strong.
《气候友好旅游—行业状况报告》将每年定期于纽约联合国大会会议期间发布。第一份报告预计将于今年9月，在纪念Maurice Strong先生的晚宴上与大家见面。

(2) A Think Tank in Malta in the first quarter of each year to review the findings from the report and revamp them for the following September.
马耳他智库，将于每年第一季度审查并修订《气候友好旅游—行业状况报告》，为接下来9月份的正式发布做准备。

(3) An impetus for the "Plan For Our Kids" to support 100,000 STRONG Climate Champions by 2030.
全力推动“为我们的孩子计划”项目。至2030年，支持10万名有影响力的气候冠军。

The Government of Malta, through the Ministry for Tourism, has just agreed with SUNx to take the lead in a global effort aimed at converting the threat of global climate change. The Global Centre for Climate Friendly Travel will launch a set of actions and opportunities to address this threat from the travel industry perspective.
马耳他政府与SUNx签署合作备忘录，代表它将通过旅游业，在应对气候变化威胁的全球努力中，发挥带头作用。全球气候友好旅游中心将探索一系列行动和机遇，从旅游业的角度应对气候威胁。

Minister for Tourism Konrad Mizzi said that, “There is growing international consensus for a strong shift from talk to action. This is amply evidenced by the political action of the EU in raising the stakes these past few weeks by announcing the allocation of 1 in every 4 euro of the next budget to climate resilience. This initiative will put Malta in the forefront of this change in creating more climate friendly travel. We will become the home of SUNx – the Strong Universal Network – a global centre for Climate Friendly Travel following the targets of the Paris Agreement set in 2015.”
旅游部长Konrad Mizzi先生道：“国际社会越发达成共识，应对气候变化的努力，应从口头倡议转变为切实行动。欧盟在过去几周的政治行动，已充分证明这点。欧盟宣布，其下一份预算方案，每4欧元中就有1欧元将被用于应对气候变化。这份合作备忘录，使马耳他在气候友好旅游领域位于世界前沿。我们将会成为全球通用网络SUNx基地之一，成为全球气候友好旅游中心之一，推动实现《巴黎协定》气候目标（2015）。”

Professor Geoffrey Lipman said: “The reality is that we have a Climate Crisis and that the scientists, the governments, and the next generation are demanding an increased ambition. Travel & Tourism is a pivotal part of human activity and has to be at the leading edge of change. Our collaboration with the Government of Malta will provide a new impetus through Climate Friendly Travel ~ Measured, Green, and 2050-proof: a pathway to the New Climate Economy and 100,000 STRONG Climate Champions by 2030 to help the transformation. This is carrying on the vision of Maurice Strong, the father of Sustainable Development, who believed that Travel & Tourism could be a catalyst for positive change.”
Geoffrey Lipman教授道：“气候危机已构成人类最大威胁之一。科学家、政府和年轻一代正要求提升应对这一危机的努力。旅游业是人们生活的重要组成部分，必须引领变革。SUNx与马耳他政府的合作，为气候友好旅游注入制度化的、绿色的、有成效的（2050年证明）新动力。至2030年，它是转变气候现状，实现新气候经济（New Climate Economy），倡导10万名有影响力的气候冠军项目的有效途径。同时，它代表着环保先驱Maurice Strong先生的可持续发展理念，正被传承和贯彻。旅游业，正如Maurice Strong先生所坚信，是积极改变的催化剂。”
