世界計(jì)量日——2024年5月20日
World Metrology Day - 20 May 2024
我們今天的測量,是為了可持續(xù)發(fā)展的明天
We measure today for a sustainable tomorrow
計(jì)量,即測量的科學(xué)及其應(yīng)用,一直處于科技進(jìn)步的前沿。它的影響可見于社會的方方面面,存在于生活的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴。
Metrology, the science of measurement and its application, has always been at the forefront of technological and scientific advancements. Its impact can be seen in all aspects of society and it is omnipresent in our lives.
今年,世界計(jì)量日的主題是“可持續(xù)發(fā)展”。準(zhǔn)確的測量是環(huán)境研究和政策制定的基礎(chǔ),因?yàn)樗刮覀冇心芰α私夂蛻?yīng)對復(fù)雜的環(huán)境挑戰(zhàn),如氣候變化、污染和資源枯竭。可持續(xù)發(fā)展的主題鼓勵我們探索計(jì)量如何改善我們的日常生活。例如,準(zhǔn)確可靠的測量有助于更好地監(jiān)測環(huán)境參數(shù),更好地評估人類活動影響,更好地制定促進(jìn)生態(tài)平衡戰(zhàn)略。計(jì)量還使我們能夠作出明智的決策,無論是通過量化碳排放,測量廢棄物,還是監(jiān)測自然棲息地。
This year, the theme for World Metrology Day is sustainability. Accurate measurements are the basis of environmental research and policymaking because they enable us to understand and tackle complex environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion. The theme of sustainability encourages us to explore how metrology contributes to improving our lives every day. For example, accurate and reliable measurements enable better monitoring of environmental parameters, better assessment of the impact of human activities, and the development of strategies that promote ecological balance. Metrology empowers us to make informed decisions, whether by quantifying carbon emissions, measuring waste, or monitoring natural habitats.
計(jì)量在碳核算中發(fā)揮著至關(guān)重要的作用。碳核算涵蓋廣泛的活動,包括污染物的精確測量、計(jì)算、監(jiān)測、報(bào)告和核查。碳核算方案和其他保護(hù)環(huán)境的監(jiān)管措施需要可靠的數(shù)據(jù),其基于對環(huán)境中潛在的十億分之一水平的污染物的準(zhǔn)確測量。
Metrology plays a critical role in carbon accounting, which can cover a wide range of activities including the accurate measurement, calculation, monitoring, reporting, and auditing of pollutants. Carbon accounting schemes and other regulatory measures for safeguarding the environment require reliable data, based on the accurate measurements of pollutants potentially present in the environment at part per billion levels.
計(jì)量的重要性還體現(xiàn)在它支持聯(lián)合國可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)(SDGs)和聯(lián)合國為實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)的全球發(fā)展所做的各種努力,包括:
Metrology is also of key importance because it supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the efforts of the United Nations in achieving sustainable global development:
· 以法制計(jì)量為基礎(chǔ)的公平、透明的貿(mào)易,能夠改善所有人的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況,有助于減少貧困;
· fair and transparent trade based on legal metrology serves to improve economic conditions for us all and assists in reducing poverty;
· 可靠和可比的測試結(jié)果,對于增進(jìn)我們的健康和福祉至關(guān)重要;
· reliable and comparable test results are important in order to improve our health and well-being;
· 有效地應(yīng)對氣候變化行動,必須以能夠量化排放量、監(jiān)測基本氣候變量、監(jiān)控減排策略有效性的測量技術(shù)為基礎(chǔ);
· effective climate action must be based on measurement technologies that quantify emissions and essential climate variables as well as monitor the effectiveness of mitigation strategies;
· 測量對于開發(fā)和監(jiān)測清潔能源技術(shù)至關(guān)重要,這些技術(shù)保證了我們能夠獲得負(fù)擔(dān)得起的清潔能源;
· measurements are essential in order to develop and monitor the technologies that ensure we have access to affordable and clean energy; and
· 工業(yè)創(chuàng)新和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施,依賴于對各種參數(shù)的準(zhǔn)確測量。
· industrial innovation and infrastructure depend on accurate measurements for a wide range of parameters.
2024年的世界計(jì)量日主題強(qiáng)調(diào)了計(jì)量在所有這些情況下發(fā)揮的關(guān)鍵作用,并提醒我們有保護(hù)地球的共同責(zé)任。
The theme for World Metrology Day in 2024 underscores the pivotal role that metrology plays in all these cases and reminds us of our collective responsibility to safeguard our planet.
今年也標(biāo)志著世界計(jì)量日推廣工作的新篇章,因?yàn)?023年11月召開的聯(lián)合國教科文組織(UNESCO)第42屆大會通過決議,正式認(rèn)可每年5月20日的世界計(jì)量日慶祝活動。這將為宣傳計(jì)量提供新的契機(jī),它也與聯(lián)合國教科文組織“通過科學(xué)和教育建設(shè)更美好世界”的使命相吻合。
This year also marks a new chapter in the promotion of World Metrology Day following the Resolution adopted by the 42nd Session of the UNESCO General Conference in November 2023 to grant official recognition by UNESCO to its celebration on 20th May each year. This will provide new opportunities to promote metrology, and aligns with UNESCOs mission to construct a better world through science and education.
