歐洲化學工業理事會總干事Marco Mensink

    It is my great pleasure and honor to share with our Chinese colleagues a vision of how the chemical industry could play a pivotal role, not only in Europe but globally, in successfully and sustainably addressing the many challenges our world is facing. China has become an important driving force in our world, and we all have a common responsibility in building a brighter future for us and our children.

     很榮幸能與中國的同仁們分享一個美麗的愿景：在歐洲乃至全球范圍內，在應對世界所面臨的諸多挑戰中，化工行業將如何不斷發揮舉足輕重的作用。中國已然成為世界發展進程中的重要驅動力。因此，我們肩上都承擔著一份共同的責任和使命——為人類、為子孫后代開創一個更加光明美好的未來。

    As the broadest independent study ever conducted by Cefic – the voice of the European chemical industry – this vision of Europe and its chemical industry offers a view on current and future societal challenges and how the chemical industry can shape our world in 2050.

     作為歐洲化工行業的代表，歐洲化學工業理事會（Cefic）進行了一項迄今為止最廣泛的獨立研究。這份來自歐洲化學工業的研究為我們提供了一個嶄新的視角去看待那些業已存在或將要出現的社會挑戰，以及在2050年，化工行業將如何塑造這個世界。

    Scarcity of natural resources, climate change, the rapid shifts in politics and geopolitics, and technological advancements that are transforming our lives and our business models, are just some challenges we and our children will need to tackle in our lifetimes.

     自然資源日趨匱乏、氣候變化影響漸增、地緣政治云譎波詭、新興技術更替迭代改變著我們的生活和商業模式，應對這些挑戰，創造適合人類發展的良好條件是我們和子孫后代需要畢其一生去完成的事業。

    Following a year-long analysis of authoritative research, along with expert input from around the world, this Mid-Century Vision offers many plausible facets of our future. In constant dialogue with our key stakeholders, we explore the role of science, technology, trade and policy, towards a successful and sustainable Europe in the years to come.

     這項具有前瞻性的世紀中葉展望研究，前后經歷了一年多的潛心打磨，融匯了全球頂尖專家的先進理念，為我們描繪了未來的多種可能性。在與各利益相關方的不斷溝通交流中，深入探索了在建設未來美好而可持續的歐洲社會進程中，科學、技術、貿易、政策等因素將扮演的角色。

    We believe that the European chemical industry can flourish as we help Europe go climate carbon-neutral, reduce plastic waste, move toward a circular economy and address legitimate public concerns about health and chemical safety. We will become more competitive!

     我們堅信通過助力歐洲盡早實現碳中和、減少塑料廢棄物、構建循環經濟、消除公眾對化工行業的信任壁壘等行動，歐洲化工行業必將蓬勃發展且更具競爭力！

    During my visits to China over the past years, I have become very much aware of how the direction of the chemical industry in China also has shifted. The topics of safety, environmental protection, Responsible Care and sustainability have moved to the forefront of all major discussions – and we in Europe applaud and strongly support this development.  Indeed, I believe that the topics and scenarios covered in this Mid-Century Vision also apply very much to China and the rest of the world.

     在過去幾年的中國之行中，我也同樣見證了中國化工行業在發展方向上的轉變與調整?；ぐ踩?、環境保護、責任關懷和可持續發展等議題逐漸成為中國化工行業的主流，歐洲化工行業對此表示高度贊賞和大力支持。事實上，作為對本世紀中葉的展望，本書中所涵蓋的話題及應用場景也同樣適用于中國及世界其他地區。

    For the past years, Cefic has been cooperating closely with our partners at CPCIF to exchange best practices, share ideas, and together contemplate a better future for our planet. This is also thanks to the visionary leadership of Chairman Li Shousheng, under which CPCIF has been focusing its efforts on ensuring that the chemical industry in China will contribute to a better, healthier and more sustainable society.  

     在過去的幾年里，歐洲化學工業理事會(Cefic)與中國石油和化學工業聯合會(CPCIF)一直保持著密切的合作，彼此分享經驗，交流理念，為呵護人類共同的家園勤耕不輟。這一切也要感謝我非常尊敬的李壽生會長。在他極具前瞻性的帶領下，中國石油和化學工業聯合會(CPCIF) 孜孜不倦地推動中國石化行業的產業創新和高質量發展，為建設一個山清水秀、安全健康、可持續發展的社會做出了突出貢獻。

    The chemical industries in Europe and China share many common challenges, but also many common opportunities. It is up to us to tackle these proactively and with courage. I hope that this Mid-Century Vision will help to trigger even more constructive dialogue, ideas and cooperation between Europe and China – for a better world!

     不論在中國還是歐洲，石油和化工行業均面臨著重重挑戰，但同時也蘊藏著種種機遇。我們應當志存高遠、勇于擔當，自覺肩負起這個時代的重任。我由衷地希望本書中所涵蓋對本世紀中葉的所有展望都將有助于推動中歐雙方的交流對話、互學互鑒、密切協作！讓我們攜手共建更加美好的世界！
