这就是黄土高原的例子，我去过那里，我想是在9年前，那时我看到的是一片荒凉的沟谷，没有绿树，黄土被雨水冲刷到黄河里造成淤积。干旱贫瘠，人民生活在山上最恶劣的环境中。但是有一个计划（黄土高原水土保持世界银行贷款项目），这个计划就是对这些山谷进行治理，在这个面积相当于瑞士的地区，成千上万的人民动员起来在山坡上修梯田，他们搬开石头，他们修建梯田。也有机械，有推土机供整个地区使用。他们组成十万人的大军。在每个山头上他们竖起一块小石碑，上面刻着“世界银行1号项目”或者“20号项目”，刻着队长的名字、会计的名字和他们所有人的名字。

当我们再回去看时，这些干旱的地区已经变得像瑞士，他们有了草，有了树，有了牲畜。他们有了自己的房屋。现在有300万人从山上下来住到这些山谷，住到这些在座的各位都愿意去度假的地方。不仅如此，而且黄河也变得清澈了。

这不是魔术。这是一种通过人民的勤劳实施的简明的理念，一种经岁月证明是有效的理念。我们从扶贫和希望的角度亲眼目睹了成果。

我们的任务就是使这个世界的黄土高原，变成一个充满绿色、充满希望的地方，变成一个让人民能够用自己的铁锨或笔，或者用他们自己的任何工具，寻找他们摆脱贫困走向希望和机遇的方式。

我们的大会是关于和平的大会，是关于我们星球的未来的大会，是推进扩大规模的大会，是关于社会公平的大会，是关于道德正义的大会，是希望的大会。我很高兴能够与各位在未来两天和今后在一起。

Opening Address at the Scaling Up Poverty

Reduction Conference

It is the example from Loess Plateau， which I went to， I think now nine years ago，And I saw in front of me valleys that were stark， that had no trees， and that were filling the Yellow River with sediment from the water coming down the hills. And it looked arid， it looked terrible. And the people were living in the worst of conditions on the tops of these hills—except that there was a plan， and the plan was to takes in each of these valleys， in an area the size of Switzerland， a hundred thousand people who—and you， They'd pick up the rocks. They would terrace the hills. There would be one machine， one bulldozer for the entire area. And they were in teams of ahundred thousand. And on the top of each hill they had a little monument which said，“World Bank Project Number One，” or “Number 20，”“ and the signature of the team leader and the finance guy and all their names on it.”

And when I went back， these arid areas looked like Switzerland. They've got grass. They've got trees. They've got animals. They have houses. And we now have three million people that have come from the tops of the mountains into the valleys， in areas that for all us you'd like to have a holiday.Not only that， but the Yellow River is cleaner.

This is not magic. This is simple idea carried forward by the diligence of people， an idea that works year after year. And we see the results in terms of poverty alleviation and in terms of hope.

Our task is to make this world a Loess Plateau， an area that is green， that is full of hope， that allows people in poverty to use their spade or their pen， or whatever it is they have， to find their way form conditions of poverty to conditions of hope and opportunity.

Our conference is not just another conference. Our conference is about peace. It is about the future of your planet， It is moving to scale. It is about social justice. It's about what is morally right. It's about hope. And I am very happy that I can be with you for these next two days and beyond.

thanks！
