人民网联合国6月21日电 （记者 席来旺、吴云）21日，联合国秘书长潘基文在纽约总部启动了一项名为“可持续的环境卫生：2015年前的五年奋斗行动计划”，以加快实现到2015年将全球无法持续获得安全饮用水和基本环境卫生的人口比例减半的相关联合国千年发展目标。
潘基文在致辞中指出，全球现有约11亿人无法获得像厕所这样最基本的卫生设施，不得不在露天便溺；每一天，全世界有5000多名儿童因为恶劣的环境卫生和不洁饮用水引发的腹泻而死亡，这是导致5岁以下儿童死亡的主要原因。然而，由此造成的影响并非仅此而已。腹泻还与营养不良密切相关，阻碍儿童健康地成长发育，并可造成免疫系统的薄弱，使儿童更易染上肺炎等致命疾病。与之相反，良好的环境及个人卫生能够帮助学生提高出勤率和学习成绩，从而有助于实现普及初等教育的联合国千年发展目标；确保学龄女童获得充足的卫生设施还可减少辍学率，为促进两性平等做贡献。
潘基文强调，联合国千年发展目标中的第七项是“确保环境的可持续能力”，其中明确要求到2015年将无法持续获得安全饮用水和基本环境卫生的人口比例减半。这一目标的实现对降低儿童死亡率、改善孕产妇健康，以及与艾滋病病毒/艾滋病、疟疾和其它疾病作斗争等其他千年目标的实现至关重要。因此，第65届联大在去年12月通过决议，呼吁会员国支持旨在落实可持续的环境卫生的全球努力。
潘基文表示，广泛存在的露天便溺问题急需得到有效解决，这不但是公共卫生隐患，而且是对个人隐私和尊严的剥夺。他呼吁各国加强公众宣传教育，同时展现出更大的政治意愿，出台有针对性的政策，并提供充足和可持续的资源，以改善全球环境卫生和安全供水设施。★

UNITED NATIONS, June 21 (Xinhua correspondent seats to Wang, Wu Yun) 21, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York launched a project called "Sustainable Environmental Health: 2015 Action Plan for the five-year struggle." to accelerate the 2015 world sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by half the proportion of the relevant United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
Ban Ki-moon said in his speech that the world has about 1.1 billion people lack access to basic sanitation such as toilet facilities, forced to defecate in the open air; every day, over 5,000 children around the world because of poor sanitation and unclean drinking water death caused by diarrhea, which is leading to children under five mortality. However, the resulting effect is not nothing. Diarrhea and malnutrition is also closely related to impede children's healthy growth and development, and can cause the immune system is weak, so that children more vulnerable to pneumonia and other fatal diseases. In contrast, good environmental and personal hygiene can help students to improve attendance and performance, thus helping to achieve universal primary education Millennium Development Goals; to ensure that school-age girls to obtain adequate sanitation facilities can reduce dropout rates, to promote contribute to gender equality.
Ban Ki-moon stressed that the UN Millennium Development Goals in the seventh is to "ensure environmental sustainability", which explicitly required by 2015 without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by half the proportion of the population. This goal of reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, as well as HIV / AIDS, malaria and other diseases, and other millennium goals is essential. Therefore, the 65th UN General Assembly in December passed a resolution called upon Member States to support the implementation of sustainable sanitation to the global effort.
Ban Ki-moon said the widespread need open soil to be an effective solution to the problem, not only public health risks, but also to the deprivation of personal privacy and dignity. He called on countries to strengthen publicity and public education, and to show greater political will, the introduction of targeted policies, and to provide adequate and sustainable resources to improve the global sanitation and safe water supply facilities. ★
