商品描述

Can Kenya be like Singapore, whose geography positions her as the gateway to Asian markets? Must Ghana strive to imitate Japan while tolerating the "silent killer" of chronic air pollution that causes 16,000-30,000 premature deaths every year? Do African forests, savannahs and wetlands need to give way to plantation pine, GMO crops and tilapia ponds in order to fuel economic growth and prosperity?

The Green Continent still contains vast, unspoiled ecoregions with amazing biodiversity. These ecoregions support the livelihoods of local, indigenous communities. Her people have evolved intricate bodies of traditional wisdom - a fulfilling life gazes at the stars and stir the seas.

Africa enters the second quarter of the 21st century with huge advantages. Her population is 60% under age 25; her collage of ecoregions is 39% unspoiled; her smartphone adoption rate will reach 50% by 2028. These "pluses" can catapult her over the industrialization phase that has enriched developed countries at the price of poisoned landscapes and social inequity. Africa can weave together humanity and nature, tradition and modernity, creating a colorful and unique kente cloth of sustainable development. Let's join together as a global community to help her reach that goal.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

肯尼亞能否像新加坡一樣，因其地理位置成為通往亞洲市場的門戶？加納是否必須努力模仿日本，同時忍受每年造成16,000至30,000人過早死亡的慢性空氣污染這個「無形殺手」？非洲的森林、草原和濕地是否需要讓位於種植的松樹、基因改造作物和鯉魚池，以促進經濟增長和繁榮？

綠色大陸仍然擁有廣闊、未受破壞的生態區域，擁有驚人的生物多樣性。這些生態區域支持著當地原住民社區的生計。她的人民發展出複雜的傳統智慧體系——一個充實的生活仰望星空，激盪海洋。

非洲在21世紀的第二個季度進入時擁有巨大的優勢。她的人口中有60%在25歲以下；她的生態區域中有39%未受破壞；到2028年，她的智慧型手機普及率將達到50%。這些「優勢」可以使她超越工業化階段，這一階段使發達國家富裕的代價是破壞了自然景觀和社會不平等。非洲可以將人類與自然、傳統與現代編織在一起，創造出一幅色彩斑斕且獨特的可持續發展肯特布。讓我們作為全球社區共同努力，幫助她實現這一目標。
