粮农组织获宁夏燕宝慈善基金会捐款一亿元人民币
北京 - 粮农组织总干事屈冬玉今日表示,与私营部门建立伙伴关系对于提高处于贫困或营养不足状况的全球最脆弱人群的生产和营养水平而言至关重要。 总干事是在于北京举行的第二届人类可持续发展慈善高端对话上致辞时发表上述观点的。在该峰会上,他还对宁夏燕宝慈善基金会向粮农组织捐款一亿元人民币(1500万美元)表示欢迎。该笔捐款将用于设立粮农组织--燕宝联合基金,以支持培养农业人才,特别是推动有助于实现粮食安全和营养的研究。 屈冬玉说,私营部门可以在达成伙伴关系和根据联合国可持续发展目标建立一个没有饥饿的世界方面发挥重要作用。 他说:"私营部门有意向支持可持续发展,也有意向与粮农组织合作,通过包容性扶贫干预举措,为包括青年和妇女在内的最脆弱社区以及脆弱小农户提供帮助。" 可持续发展峰会汇集了来自福特基金会、保尔森基金会、格莱敏基金会、FICO基金会、中国科学院、清华大学和全球其他机构的商界领袖和代表。 总干事邀请私营部门与粮农组织合作,共同支持创新和改良技术,包括农村数字化。在农村数字化进程中,智能手机可用于天气和干旱预测、虫害监测、获取食品价格和技术指导,还可作为电子商务的门户。 "伙伴关系和领导力均至关重要",他说。 粮农组织最近发起了"手拉手"倡议,旨在"牵线搭桥",促成捐助方和受援方"结对子",以支持内陆国家、小岛屿发展中国家、最不发达国家和受粮食危机影响国家的发展。 宁夏燕宝慈善基金会自成立以来,一直致力于寻求打造更可持续的未来所需的可行解决方案,其于2018年8月举行了首届慈善峰会。今年峰会的重点是寻找替代化石燃料的可再生能源。
