今天，《中美健康城市南昌宣言》发布
最近南昌有点忙。
就在2016南昌国际马拉松赛即将开跑的前一天，即11月19日，中美双方在南昌共同发布《中美健康城市南昌宣言》，由全国友协、国家卫计委、江西省政府、美国国际姐妹城协会、美国卫生与公众服务部在第三届中美友城大会暨中美健康城市论坛上共同发布，南昌市市长郭安当场宣读。
“南昌宣言”只是第三届中美友城大会的成果之一，大会时间就是18日至19日。这次大会，南昌同样拿了个“首次”：这是中美友城大会首次在中国举办，前两届分别在华盛顿和芝加哥举行。
厉害了！这是省友协向全国友协申请近半年才基本敲定的，并最终在今年9月G20杭州峰会上由习近平主席和奥巴马总统共同确定下来。所以大会背景材料上有了这么一句话：本次大会已被列入2016年9月G20中美两国元首杭州会晤成果清单、第八轮中美战略与经济对话和第七轮中美人文交流高层磋商成果清单，两国高层领导均给予高度关注与支持。这就解释了“南昌宣言”为啥这么高大上、国际范儿了。
那为啥是健康城市宣言呢？这和本届大会主题有关：健康、友城、创新，大会连带举办了中美健康城市论坛。其间，双方就健康城市和可持续发展交流了理念、分享了经验、展示了成果。我国29个省（自治区、直辖市）和美国15个州近300位中美地方政府官员、卫生领域官员和专家学者、企业家代表参加大会。作为双方在健康城市建设方面达成的共识，“南昌宣言”应运而生。
其大意如下：
健康很重要，建设健康城市更重要，中美两国的老百姓都面临着城市病等健康问题和挑战，要加强合作。所以我们共同倡议，政府要不断完善健康政策，结合实际，保障老百姓在教育、住房、就业、安全等方面的基本需求，建立公平持久的社会保障制度。还得从卫生政策入手，消除大气、水和土壤污染，让城市更加干净整洁，让老百姓宜居；同时要发挥社团和民间组织的作用，发动市民们共同参与，保护城市环境；最后要倡导和培养市民健康生活方式，提高群众健康意识和素质。要借助两国友城这个绝佳平台继续深化双方在健康城市领域的合作交流。
虽然不能像法律法规那么具体和有约束力，但这份中美宣言指明了未来我们城市建设的努力方向，还是那句话：城市是我家，爱护靠大家。

二、我们认为，中美友城交往已成为增进两国人民友谊、促进两国地方合作的重要桥梁，是两国关系发展的重要基石。本次大会将有效落实2016年9月习近平主席和奥巴马总统会晤达成的共识、落实第八轮中美战略与经济对话和第七轮中美人文交流高层磋商相关成果，进一步夯实中美在健康城市建设、管理和服务领域的合作基础，促进两国人文交流与合作，推动两国间全方位务实合作。

四、联合国2015年9月通过的“2030年可持续发展议程”为新时期全球卫生发展设定了宏伟目标。我们倡议：在2030年可持续发展议程框架下，通过以下行动，积极推动健康城市建设：
（一）不断完善健康政策。推动地方政府发挥更大作用，积极采取与本国国情相适宜的行动方针和策略，保障居民在教育、住房、就业、安全等方面的基本需求，优化健康服务，建立更加公平更可持续的社会保障制度。
（二）通过卫生政策和策略，营造健康环境，消除大气、水和土壤污染，提高城市环境卫生水平，创造健康宜居的生活环境。
（三）有效发挥社会团体和组织在健康城市建设中的作用。充分发动社区和全体市民积极参与，以实际行动为城市环境贡献市民责任。
（四）积极倡导培养健康生活方式，提高全民健康素养水平。

Nanchang Declaration for U.S.-China Healthy Cities Forum
November 19, 2016
On 18-19 November 2016, the Third U.S.-China Sister Cities Conference &U.S.-China. Healthy Cities Forum convened in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, jointly hosted by the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, National Health and Family Planning Commission of China, Jiangxi Provincial Government, U.S. Sister Cities International, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Representatives from national and local governments, health officials, experts, and business representatives attended this event.
We agreed that exchanges among U.S.-China sister cities act as an important bridge for enhancing friendship and cooperation at the local level, as well as a cornerstone for advancing the U.S.-China relationship. This forum is a concrete follow-up on the consensus reached by President Obama and President Xi during their meeting in September 2016, as well as the deliverables from the 8th U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue and the 7th U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange. We believe this forum will further strengthen cooperation in the development, management, and service delivery of healthy cities, foster people-to-people exchanges, and further accelerate overall practical cooperation between the two countries.
We recognize that health is a necessary requirement in realizing the overall development of individuals, a core impetus for social and economic sustainable development, a significant indicator of national prosperity, and a common pursuit for both of our countries’ citizens. Cities play a critical role in advancing and protecting their citizens’ health.
Supporting healthy cities encourages both countries to address common problems, challenges, and opportunities related to urbanization, aging of the population, emerging non-communicable and infectious diseases, and environmental and lifestyle changes. It is also a reflection of a strong sense of responsibility, urgency, and mission in the evolution of public health practice.
The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda adopted by the United Nations in September 2015 sets important goals for global health development. In this context, we propose the following approaches to promote development of healthy cities under the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda framework:
1.Strive to improve health policies. Local governments may play a substantial role in adopting action plans and strategies tailored to local conditions; to address basic needs of local residents including education, housing, employment, and safety; to optimize health services; and to provide a more equitable and sustainable social security system.
2.Seek to utilize health policies and strategies to encourage the building of healthy environments, which may lead to eliminating air, water, and soil pollution; improving urban environmental sanitation; and making cities more livable and healthier built environments.
3.Effectively engage social organizations and other partners for healthy city development. This calls for active participation from communities and individuals to contribute through concrete actions on urban environmental enhancement.
4.Educate about and promote healthy lifestyles and improving the health literacy of the general public.
Participants from both countries commit to strengthen cooperation through the sister cities program including:
1. Taking into consideration actual local needs and advancing cooperation on health, trade, education, culture, and tourism.
2. Facilitating healthy city exchanges between the two countries,
organizing mutual visits and study tours among officials, experts, and scholars to exchange views and share experiences to foster healthy city development in both countries.
