"中外对话"是世界上致力于环境问题的第一个完全双语网站。当今中国正在飞速发展，它随之而面临的环境挑战也日益严峻。根据官方估计，中国在环境问题上所付出的代价相当于其ＧＤＰ的１０％；同时，污染、沙漠化和气候变化等环境问题所造成的影响，已被中国国内外的人们所广泛认知。气候变化、物种消亡、污染、水资源匮乏以及环境破坏等问题并不仅仅局限在某一国之内，而是全世界所有居民都要面临的挑战。现在中国的崛起正在给他们带来一个新的紧迫任务。应对上述这些挑战需要全世界达成共识，并且共同努力。而我们的这个"中外对话"网站的目标正是促进这种共识的达成，而达成共识的手段就是直接对话和追寻解决我们所共同面对的环境危机的途径。

本小组会定期转载“中外对话”网站上的文章，欢迎大家到网站上浏览全文，也欢迎大家在小组内展开讨论。让我们共同关注环境，关爱地球。

China is growing fast and, as it grows, it is faced with urgent environmental challenges. Environmental costs may account for 10 per cent of China's GDP and the effects of pollution, desertification and climate change are already beginning to be felt within China and outside her borders. Climate change, species loss, pollution, water scarcity and environment damage are not problems confined to one country: they are challenges that concern all the world's citizens, but the rise of China gives them a new urgency. Tackling these challenges will require a common effort and common understanding. Here at chinadialogue we aim to promote that common understanding. By establishing the world's first fully bilingual website devoted to the environment we aim to promote direct dialogue and the search for solutions to our shared environmental challenges.
