In other words, three interconnected crises – a resource crisis, an environmental crisis, and a climate crisis – are threatening Asia’s economic, social, and ecological future. Population growth, urbanization, and industrialization are exacerbating resource-related stresses, with some cities experiencing severe water shortages, and degrading the environment (as anyone who has experienced Beijing’s smog can attest).
换言之，资源危机、环境危机和气候危机相互影响，对亚洲的经济、社会和生态未来构成严重的威胁。城市化、工业化和人口增长进一步加剧了资源压力，造成某些城市水资源严重短缺、环境日趋恶化（经历过北京雾霾天的人都可以作证）。化石燃料及用水补贴致使这两个问题进一步恶化。
