今年的315晚会于7月16日晚8点播出了,受疫情影响,今年的“3·15”晚会虽然延期播出,但“3·15”晚会的名称没有变,初衷没有变。今年的“3·15”晚会仍然秉持担当消费领域瞭望者的使命,守护公共利益,建设美好生活。今天就来看一下国外的“3·15”:


Every year 15th March is celebrated as the World Consumer Rights Day.World Consumer Rights Day was inspired by President John F Kennedy, who sent a special message to the US Congress on 15th March 1962, in which he formally addressed the issue of consumer rights. He was the first world leader to do so. The consumer movement first marked that date in 1983 and now uses the day every year to mobilise action on important issues and campaigns.

每年的3月15日是国际消费者权益日。这是基于肯尼迪总统于1962年3月15日向美国国会发了一份特别咨文,正式阐述了消费者权益问题。他是第一个这样做的世界领导人。消费者运动最早是在1983年的3月15日确定,现在每年都用这一天来动员人们对重要问题和活动采取行动。


World Consumer Rights Day is an annual international event that signifies celebration and solidarity in the international consumer movement, demanding that, consumer rights are to be respected and protected. The event also gives a chance to protest against the market abuses and social injustices which undermine those rights.

国际消费者权益日是一个一年一度的国际活动,标志着国际消费者运动的庆祝和团结,要求尊重和保护消费者权利。该活动还为反抗破坏这些权利的市场滥用和社会不公提供了一个机会。


Each year, World Consumer Rights Day adopts a theme to highlight. This year the theme promoted is “The Sustainable Consumer”.

每年,国际消费者权益日都会突出一个主题。今年(2020年)的主题是“可持续消费”。


We urgently need drastic action to address the global crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. The decade of the 2020s is our last chance to limit global warming to 1.5 degree C since pre-industrial times, in line with the Paris Agreement and to reverse the current trend of wide-scale biodiversity loss.

我们迫切需要采取强有力的行动来应对气候变化和生物多样性丧失的全球危机。21世纪20年代的10年是自前工业化时期以来,我们根据《巴黎协定》将全球变暖限制在1.5摄氏度,和扭转目前生物多样性大规模丧失趋势的最后机会。


When we look at our global consumption in numbers, we are given a stark reminder of the task ahead. Around the world, nearly one million plastic bottles are sold every minute, and five trillion pieces of plastic are floating in our oceans. We buy over 80 billion new clothing items a year, and consume 3.9 billion tonnes of food – one-third of which is lost or wasted.

当我们从数字上审视我们的全球消费时,我们会清楚地意识到未来的任务。在全球范围内,每分钟售出近100万个塑料瓶,5万亿个塑料碎片漂浮在我们的海洋中。我们每年购买800多亿件新衣服,消费39亿吨食物(其中三分之一是被丢失或浪费掉的)。


In order to protect the planet and provide fair social conditions for current and future generations, we need to think about the way we produce and consume goods and services. The aim of sustainable consumption is to increase resource efficiency and fair trade while helping to alleviate poverty and enable everyone to enjoy a good quality of life with access to food, water, energy, medicine and more.

为了保护地球,并为当代和后代提供公平的社会环境,我们需要思考我们生产和消费商品和服务的方式。可持续消费的目标是提高资源效率和公平贸易,同时帮助缓解贫困,使每个人都能享受获得食物、水、能源、药品等的高质量生活。


The consumer movement will highlight the lifestyle changes consumers can make to play their part, and what governments and businesses need to do to make sustainability the easy choice for consumers.

消费者运动将强调消费者为发挥自己的作用所能做出的生活方式改变,以及政府和企业需要做些什么,使可持续发展成为消费者的简单选择。


模块积累:


(1)World Consumer Rights Day 国际消费者权益日,因在每年的3月15日举行,所以也称为“3·15”。


(2)pre-industrial times 前工业化时期

前工业社会是人类历史发展的一个阶段,学者丹尼尔·贝尔对把人类历史划分为三个阶段:前工业社会、工业社会和后工业社会。从时间上大约是蒸汽机出现之前的人类社会。前工业社会以传统主义为轴心,意图是同自然界竞争,土地是资源,地主和军人拥有统治权。以轻工业为主的产业层次是从能源革命开始的。蒸汽机的发明促进了手工业工具的机械化。初期发展的轻工业大都是以农牧业产品为原材料的,如:棉纺、毛纺、粮食加工、食品、酿酒、制糖、卷烟、造纸、木材加工等。
