At SusallWave Establishment Launching Event
盟浪成立发布仪式
马蔚华主席，何杰局长，
Distinguished guests, ladies, and gentlemen, good afternoon！
尊敬的嘉宾，女士们和先生们，下午好！
It is my pleasure to join today’s launch event and my apologies for not being able to attend in person due to the COVID situation.
我很高兴 受邀参与今天的成立仪式，虽然很遗憾出于疫情防控的考虑，不能亲临现场。
During my time in China, I have been impressed by China’s dynamic sustainable finance ecosystemthat hasnurtured such diverse and innovative group of market players. Today I am honored to witness the launch of another young and promising institute under the leadership of Chairman Ma, which is a testimony to the dynamic nature of this ecosystem.
在我中国的任期期间，我常对中国能够孕育出如此多元和创新市场参与方且充满活力的可持续金融生态印象深刻。今天我很荣幸能够见证在马蔚华主席领导下又一个年轻但前途无限的机构成立，这也是可持续金融生态生机勃勃的见证。
The timing for this launch is ripe.
此次成立这样的机构可谓正当其时。
On the one hand the world is amidst a turbulent time and is experiencing a triple crisis – the pandemic, climate change and environmental degradation. On the other, we need bold solutions that can use the crisis as an opportunity to fix the structural challenges that we face.
一方面，世界正处于动荡不安的时代，并且正经历着三重危机 – 新冠疫情、气候变化和环境恶化。从另一方面来说，我们更加需要大胆的解决方案，即把这些危机看作是解决我们所面临结构性挑战的机遇。
In this regard SusallWave holds promise. Consisting of an influential group of high-powered advisors, and focusing on use of digital technologies like Blockchain and AI, combined with analytics to inform investment decisions, platforms like Susallwave has the potential toempower sustainable development.
就这点而言，盟浪前景光明。有强有力的顾问加盟，并将区块链和人工智能等数字科技应用到指导投资决策的分析中，像盟浪这类平台机构非常有潜力助力可持续发展。
My heartfelt Congratulations to you today!
在此我衷心地祝贺你们！
I have 3 key messages where I see the intersections that entities like Susallwave can bring value addition to sustainable finance:
我想强调像盟浪这类的机构能够为可持续金融贡献价值的三个重点领域：
First, we need to unlock significantly higher levels of finance for sustainable development, which in turn should contribute to green and resilient recovery.
首先，我们需要为可持续发展释放更多的资本，从而为绿色与弹性的复苏作出相应贡献。
Governments alone cannot provide the investments required to achieve the SDGs, which requires private capital and companies to play a major part alongside public funds. Despite growing sustainability commitments by companies and investors, the rhetoric has not translated into sufficient action.
单凭政府投资是已无法解决实现可持续发展目标资金缺口的问题，需要私营资本与企业连同政府公共资金一起发挥重要的作用。尽管目前越来越多政府，公司和投资者均作出了可持续发展的承诺，但却没有将承诺转化为切实有效的实际行动。
Since 2015, developed countries have failed to meet the annual 100 billion USD commitment promised under the Paris Agreement. The world’s 60 biggest banks have poured more than USD 3.8 trillion into the fossil fuels industry from 2016 to 2020. These two data points show the gap between the rhetoric and the reality.
自2015年开始，发达国家并未兑现在巴黎协定下每年投入1000亿美元应对气候变化的承诺。从2016年到2020年，全球最大的60家银行向化石燃料行业投入了超过3.8万亿美元的资金。这两个数据充分显示了口头说辞与现实行动之间的差距。
The business case for sustainable investment is clear. SDGs offers the private sector opportunities to access markets and institutional investment which are currently untapped.
可持续投资的在商业上的论证已逐渐清晰。可持续发展目标可以为私营部门提供获得市场与机构投资的机会，但这些潜在机遇还未充分被开发。
By 2030, SDG-generated growth could reach USD 12 trillion. Climate-focused business could also create 213 million jobs and reduce CO2 emissions by 4 billion tons.
预计到2030年，由可持续发展推动的增长可以达到12万亿美元。关注气候的商业活动可以创造2.13亿个工作岗位以及减少40亿吨二氧化碳排放。
In this regard, entities like SusallWave can play a key role in informing market intelligence that unlocks capital and investment for SDG-centered business activities.
从这点看，盟浪这类机构可以在及时更新市场动态方面发挥关键作用，促进资金释放，推动资本投向以可持续发展为中心的商业活动中。
Second, in leveraging private capital, SDG impact must be the compass to assess the benefits and trade-offs.
其次，在充分发挥私营资本作用方面，可持续发展影响力必须是评估实际效益和权衡利弊的指南针。
Typically, enterprises and investors focus more on how environmental, social and governance factors can affect the financial valuation of their business or investments rather than on how the activities of their businesses or investments impact social and environmental outcomes.
通常，企业和投资者更多关注环境（E）、社会（S）和治理（G）因素如何影响到其商业和投资的财务估值，而不是关注这些商业和投资对社会和环境产生实际效益。
Too often, the SDGs are used as just another reporting lens to communicate existing activities differently, rather than to make different decisions and choices.
很多时候，可持续发展目标仅仅作为与现存活动另一个不同的披露视角，而不是以此作为做出决策和选择根本改变的出发点。
To bridge this gap, private sector needs a systemic shift from seeing the SDGs as an add-on, to how the business itself gets done.
为了缩小这个差距，私营部门对于可持续发展目标的理解需要进行系统性变革，从把可持续发展目标看作是附加物到关注商业如何能够落实可持续发展目标。
The next frontier of sustainable finance must require companies to make SDGs alignment the fundamental governance approach of organizations - to guide business strategies, investment decisions, and overall management.
可持续金融的未来前沿需要企业将其组织根本的治理机制与可持续发展目标保持一致，以指导其企业商业战略、投资决策和整体管理。
To reach this goal, the market needs robust intermediates that provide, frontier information, analytics as well as intelligent management algorithms and transparent data platforms. SusallWave’s mandate speaks to this need and fill this world.
为了达到这个目标，市场需要强有力的媒介机构来提供前沿信息、分析以及智能管理算法和透明的数据平台。盟浪目前的使命正是回应这种需求并弥补市场空白。
Third, sustainable finance must also focus on just transition. This entails promoting green industries and the transitioning of carbon-intensive ones, rather than simply blacklisting “brown” companies.
最后，可持续金融也必须支持公正转型。所谓公正转型是需要我们推动绿色行业发展的同时促进碳排放密集型行业的转型，而不是简单地仅把棕色资产放入黑名单。
To channel sufficient capital to carbon intensive sectors to facilitate the transition, clear standards, key performance indicators (KPI) and sustainability performance targets (SPT) are critical.
为了将资金充分导向到推动碳排放密集型行业的低碳转型过程中去，清晰的标准、关键绩效指标（KPIs）和可持续绩效目标 (SPT) 至关重要。
To avoid “sustainability” or “impact” washing, which is very common, KPIs must be relevant for a company’s future development strategy and SPTs must be ambitious and different from business-as-usual scenario.
为避免市场中常见的利用可持续和影响力洗白，关键绩效指标必须与公司未来发展战略相关，可持续绩效目标必须更具雄心，而非简单设立如一切照旧模式一样的绩效目标。
Third-party service providers are therefore key advisors on customized target setting and impact assessment a role that SusallWave can contribute towards.
因此，第三方机构可以成为为目标设定和影响力评估的提高解决方案的服务方，这也是盟浪应有所为的角色。
In closing I want to reiterate.
最后，我想重申。
As the UN Secretary General has said: “We are truly at a crossroads, with consequential choices before us.” Alternative futures are indeed possible. The extraordinary disruption of Covid is an opportunity for transformation towards the kind of world defined by the SDGs and the Paris Agreement.
正如联合国秘书长所言，“我们正站在面临重大选择的十字路口。”我们本应可以迎来一个不一样的未来，新冠疫情异常打断了这一进程，然而新冠疫情也为我们提供了一个朝围绕可持续发展目标和巴黎协定转变的机遇。
The markets should extend this objective to all asset classes and investment decisions and incorporate it into the full spectrum of investment solutions.
市场需要把这个目标传递给所有资产类别和投资决策，并且将其融入到全类型投资解决方案中。
By working together and through innovative solutions such as SusallWave’s platform, I believe we are taking the right steps towards a greener, more sustainable future.
通过和盟浪这类平台机构利用创新解决方案共同合作推进，我相信我们正朝更绿色、更可持续的未来坚实迈进。
Friends, I want to once again wish you all the best and also congratulate you on the launch of this platform. And I look forward to checking your progress and seeing you in person soon.
朋友们，最后我再次祝愿你们一切顺利，以及祝贺盟浪今天成立。我将持续关注盟浪的发展并期待不久后能够线下见面。
Thank you very much!
非常感谢！
