一场席卷全球的疫情让世界局势发生重大变革，同时我们势必面对一些新的趋势、挑战和机遇。Z世代成为发展新动力，她/他们又有怎样的新的时代烙印？如何应对全球日益严峻的老龄化问题？地区性局势紧张情况愈演愈烈，全球如何在多极化新形势下进一步发展？如何面对全球城市化水平不断提高带来的交通、教育、犯罪问题？全球气候危机不断加剧，热浪席卷多地，如何为人类留下一颗绿色的星球并加速可持续化发展？柯曼认为以上每一个挑战都需要全人类持续的共同努力，但是无疑科学技术的加速进步会助力我们应对危机的能力。

The global pandemic has brought about significant changes in the world, while we are bound to face some new trends, challenges and opportunities, with Generation Z becoming the new driving force of development; what is their unique time brand mark? What is the response to the growing global problem of aging? How can the world develop further under the new multipolar situation with increasing regional tensions? How do we face the difficulties of transportation, education, and crime brought about by the increasing level of global urbanization? How can we leave a green planet for the next generation and accelerate sustainable development for humanity in the face of the growing global climate crisis and heat waves sweeping across the world? Clas believes that each of these challenges requires a sustained and concerted effort by all mankind, but there is no doubt that the accelerated progress of science and technology will help us to cope with the crisis.

本次演讲对时代重大趋势及科技带来的变革进行了精彩阐释。在线教育灵活、便捷、资源丰富；与人工智能、VR、AR等技术相结合，可以在相当程度上帮助解决教育问题。早期癌症筛查和可穿戴设备可以大大改善老龄人口的生活质量。而智慧城市解决方案，结合区块链技术，可以帮助人类掌握城市的脉搏，缓解城市化带来的风险。而类似支付宝蚂蚁森林这样充满趣味的数字应用，可以帮助扩大气候行动的规模。资源的循环利用可以促进可持续发展，并从另一个角度使快速消费品（FMCG）行业变得持久。

This lecture provided a fascinating explanation of the significant trends of the times and the changes brought about by technology. Online education is flexible, convenient and resourceful; combined with AI, VR, AR and other technologies, it can help solve education problems to a considerable extent. Early cancer screening and wearable devices can greatly improve the life quality of of the aging population. And smart city solutions, combined with blockchain technology, can help humans keep a finger on the pulse of the city and mitigate the risks associated with urbanization.

Recycling of resources can promote sustainability and make the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry sustainable from another perspective.
