比利时前首相伊夫·莱特姆 (Yves Leterme) 日前做客中国观察智库与中国日报新媒体联合推出的访谈节目《连线·全球政要访谈》，对近年来中国为实现碳中和而进行的绿色转型努力表示肯定。他指出，在应对全球气候变化方面，中国已承担起大国责任，成为新能源开发利用领域的领军者。其他国家也应摒弃保护主义政策，扩大开放合作，共同应对挑战。
//记者：当前，中国正在走绿色发展道路，追求高质量发展，传统产业转型升级已成为当务之急。这也需要实行高水平开放，与世界各国开展合作共赢。我们想了解您对中国在经济和国际交流方面致力于绿色发展的看法。//
伊夫·莱特姆：
我认为绿色发展这一问题十分关键。如今，气候变化、环境问题，核不扩散等等全球挑战都不会限于一国边界之内。因此，要应对全球问题，各国除了合作别无选择。这是关乎全人类生死存亡的大事。
I think it's a key question you raise, of course, climate change, environmental issues, or proliferation, global challenges. These challenges don't take into account borders, so there is no alternative than to cooperate. It's about survival of mankind.
就中国而言，我认为你们已经制定了正确的路线图——《新时代的中国绿色发展》白皮书。
In terms of China, I think that the communication by the State Council in January put forward the right agenda — China's Green Development in the New Era with different chapters. I think that's the right roadmap.
我想作为一个外界人士谈谈对白皮书的看法。我认为白皮书的发布正当其时，为重工业转型指出了方向。中国目前是世界第二工业强国，正在朝着第一迈进，终有一天将取得领先地位。因此，中国作为一个领先经济体，关键在于要给予生产模式转型充分的重视——中国有这个能力。
And I would like to underline a couple of features of that roadmap that I think we perceive from the outside. That’s quite essential. It's about transforming the heavy industry. China is to become the biggest industrial power in the world. It is now the second one, but will be leading. And so to have sufficient focus on transforming production processes is really key. You have the capacities. That's quite essential as a leading economy.
