国务卿
 
在地球日53周年之际，这一天提醒我们要继续专注于应对我们的地球所面临的威胁，同时也要清点所取得的进展。美国对我们的地球的健康进行了前所未有的投资，领导全球保护环境和应对气候危机的努力。
 
我们重申了确定解决方案的重要性，以应对我们的地球今天所面临的重重挑战，从气候危机到全球水不安全问题。
 
在着手解决世界各地生物多样性丧失和水不安全方面，我们也取得了长足进步。在3月的联合国水事会议上，我们与我们的伙伴和盟友一起，着手应对水事方面至关重要的挑战。我们在会上宣布了超过490亿美元的国内和全球行动，确保具有气候适应性的水和卫生基础设施仍然是国内和世界各地的优先事项。在海外，我们的使团也发挥着领导作用，通过在我们的使领馆采用新技术来实现更高的能源效率和空气质量数据的透明度。
 
自53年前的第一个地球日以来，全球数以亿计的人已经动员起来，倡导更好地保护我们的地球。在地球日之际，我们认识到，仅仅希望我们的子孙后代有一个更光明的未来是不够的。我们必须继续采取大胆的行动，为所有人推动建设一个更健康的地球。

PRESS STATEMENT
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
APRIL 22, 2023
 
On the 53rd anniversary of Earth Day, we are reminded to maintain our focus on responding to the threats to our planet while also taking stock of progress made.  The United States has made unprecedented investments in the health of our planet, leading global efforts to protect the environment and tackle the climate crisis.
 We have reaffirmed the importance of identifying solutions to the myriad challenges facing our planet today, from the climate crisis to global water insecurity.  We have also made strides in addressing biodiversity loss and water insecurity around the world. We joined our partners and allies to address critical water challenges at the UN Water Conference in March, where we announced more than $49 billion in domestic and global action, ensuring that climate-resilient water and sanitation infrastructure remain a priority at home and around the world.  Overseas, our missions are also leading by employing new technology at our Embassies and Consulates to achieve better energy efficiency and transparency for air quality data.  Since the first Earth Day 53 years ago, hundreds of millions of people across the globe have mobilized to advocate for better protection of our planet.  On Earth Day, we recognize it is not enough to simply hope for a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.  We must continue to take bold action to foster a healthier planet for all.
