The annual meeting of the United Nations Conference on Non-Governmental Organizations attracts thousands of representatives of non-governmental organizations, academia, the public and private sectors, and other youth leaders from around the world to discuss key issues concerning the current agenda of the United Nations. Co-sponsored by the United Nations Department of Global Communications, Salt Lake City and the NGO Executive Committee, the conference is the premier event on the calendar of UN NGOs and the largest NGO conference in the world. It is an important way for the United Nations to practice civil society's participation in the affairs of the United Nations. It has received strong support from the past Secretary-General of the United Nations and the President of the General Assembly. 

‍‍何昌成主席應(yīng)邀與來自非政府組織、聯(lián)合國機構(gòu)、學(xué)術(shù)界、信仰傳統(tǒng)、公共和私營部門以及其他來自世界各地的青年領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人代表參加了本次會議，并作為本屆大會唯一一位設(shè)計領(lǐng)域的演講嘉賓在“數(shù)字經(jīng)濟與創(chuàng)新設(shè)計研討會”做主旨演講，以“為地球而設(shè)計”作為演講主題，呼吁全球設(shè)計師共同關(guān)注地球的未來，并將自己的實踐導(dǎo)向可持續(xù)議程，為地球及其所有居民創(chuàng)造一個更可持續(xù)的世界生態(tài)。因此演講格外受到矚目，當(dāng)演講結(jié)束后，許多與會國際友人紛紛前來與何主席合影留念并表示期待與APDF建立緊密交流與合作。 

President He Changcheng was invited to participate in this meeting with representatives from non-governmental organizations, UN agencies, academia, faith traditions, the public and private sectors, and other youth leaders from around the world. As the only speaker in the design field of this conference, he gave a keynote speech on “Designing for the Earth” at the “Digital Economy and Innovation Design Seminar”,calling on global designers to focus on the future of the planet and to direct their practices to a sustainable agenda that creates a more sustainable world ecosystem for the planet and all its inhabitants. Therefore, the speech was particularly eye-catching. After the speech, many international friends from the conference took photos with President He and expressed their expectation to establish close communication and cooperation with APDF.  

‍‍此外，演講還得到贏得了聯(lián)合國非政府組織高層的特別關(guān)注，新一屆聯(lián)合國執(zhí)行委員會聯(lián)席主席、非政府組織新聞部執(zhí)行委員會主任帕特里克·西亞拉塔特別邀請何主席撰寫文章，希望通過APDF為下一屆會議注入更多新的想法和計劃，為可持續(xù)城市和包容性社會的目標(biāo)提供有意義的合作并提供一個堅實的合作平臺，并通過這些想法和行動計劃將推動我們走向我們所追求的更好的世界。 

In addition, the speech has won special attention from the top of the UN NGOs. The new co-chair of the UN Executive Committee and the director of the Executive Committee of the NGO Department of Public Information, Patrick Sylatta, specially invited President He to write an article. He hoped that APDF will inject more new ideas and plans for the next conference, provide meaningful cooperation for the goals of sustainable cities and inclusive societies and provide a solid platform for cooperation. And hoped to drive us to the better world we are pursuing through these ideas and action plans.
