Another two billion people will be added to global population over the next 25 years - the vast majority in poorer nations - with huge demands for energy and economic growth. If that growth is not achieved in an environmentally sustainable way, its effects on poverty and human well-being will be disastrous.
世界的人口在未来的25年会增加20亿-绝大多数出生在较穷的国家-这些国家拥有巨大的能源和经济增长需求。如果这种增长不能在可持续发展的环境中实现，那么它就会给贫困和人类福祉带来灾难性的影响。如果我们在25年之后再做出抉择就为时已晚。为了我们的子孙后代，我们必须立刻行动起来。
