The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is creating space for young people from across the region to better understand the systems that shape climate decisions and to contribute their perspectives ahead of Pre-COP31 and COP31.
In these reflections, Sabina Moce (Fiji) and Douglas Willietien (Vanuatu) highlight why meaningful participation begins from the start of the decision-making process and why diverse community voices must be part of shaping climate solutions.
The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is co-designed and co-led by the Pacific Youth Council and the UN in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu & Vanuatu in partnership with Pasifika Communities University and regional partners, strengthening Pacific youth engagement in regional and global climate discussions.
太平洋青年塔拉诺亚系列为来自该地区的年轻人创造了一个空间,使他们更好地理解影响气候决策的系统,并在预COP31和COP31之前贡献他们的观点。
在这些反思中,萨比娜·莫切(Sabina Moce,斐济)和道格拉斯·威利提恩(Douglas Willietien,瓦努阿图)强调了为什么有意义的参与应从决策过程开始,以及为什么多样化的社区声音必须参与气候解决方案的制定。
太平洋青年塔拉诺亚系列由太平洋青年理事会与联合国在斐济、所罗门群岛、汤加、图瓦卢和瓦努阿图共同设计和领导,并与太平洋社区大学及区域合作伙伴合作,增强太平洋青年在区域和全球气候讨论中的参与。

Last week, governments from across the world gathered in Geneva for the first session of the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance, and a presentation of the inaugural report of the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI. It marked an important step towards building global rules for artificial intelligence.
While unpacking what AI can do for the Pacific, let us also consider what the Pacific can contribute to the future of AI. Both questions are relevant and connected, especially from a human development progress perspective.
The initial instinct, even anxiety, in small, remote economies could be to treat AI purely as a race from behind. And there is indeed need for that catch-up. So, the Kingdom of Tonga, for example, has moved through a national Digital Readiness Assessment, brought commercial 5G online, and is rebuilding its government services around a digital-first model, including AI tools designed to help citizens interact with the state in their own language.
Similar Digital Readiness Assessments have also been undertaken across Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu, helping lay the foundations for AI adoption and digital transformation for the Pacific. This reflects strong national leadership and commitment across the government, with a willingness from the very top to jump into the race and speed up.
Foundational groundwork like this gives countries like Tonga real standing to speak on this issue from experience rather than aspiration. That includes investing in the AI skills and digital capabilities of people, to make the best use of the new data and services AI can offer.
However, framing the Pacific's AI challenge only as a catch-up exercise misses what the region is better placed to see than almost anywhere else. In Tonga, as across the Pacific, AI systems run into something they were not designed to encounter. Much of what local communities know about maritime navigation, weather, land and the ocean is oral, relational, and held collectively, passed down through practice and inter-generational responsibility rather than stored in a database. Some of it is sacred, and deliberately never written down.
The Pasifika Futures Report argues that the real question is not whether Pacific countries adopt AI, but whether technology supports the futures Pacific people want for themselves, especially younger generations. Digital Tuvalu offers perhaps the clearest example: a nation on the frontline of climate change using digital technology to preserve its culture, heritage and identity for generations to come, while advancing Simon Kofe's vision of a future in which Tuvaluans can connect with one another, explore their ancestry and culture, and access new opportunities for business and commerce.
This is not a barrier to AI adoption. It is an opportunity to shape how these technologies are designed and governed. Tonga is therefore well placed to bring this Pacific perspective to the future of AI, contributing views on identity, stewardship, culture and knowledge systems that remain largely absent from today's models and debates.
This brings up a larger missing piece in the current AI sphere – experiential and non-written knowledge and decisions, as well as intergenerational accountability, should not be viewed as peripheral considerations. They are critical inputs that remain largely absent from global AI governance discussions today. Ask the AI frameworks and models how they would treat a body of knowledge whose custodians choose not to digitise it, and the answer is that they were not built with this in mind. Not yet.
Tonga's own digital transformation gives it credibility to make this case precisely because it has not rushed. The Lagatoi Declaration, signed by Pacific ICT ministers in Port Moresby in 2023, set out a shared regional approach to digital transformation, infrastructure and governance long before AI dominated the conversation. Tonga's participation reflected a broader regional commitment: that a digitally connected Pacific should also be a secure and collaboratively governed one, built on shared standards rather than each nation solving the same problems alone.
The architecture exists.
What is now urgently needed is to deploy it. The Great Divergence that AI risks creating is not a distant concept. In March this year, Tonga hosted the Pacific launch of the report of that name, examining how the rapid acceleration of AI and digital technology is widening the gap between economies that build these systems and economies and societies that will simply live with the consequences.
Yet AI is already delivering results across the Pacific, from satellite and AI-enabled fisheries monitoring in Kiribati, which has helped recover around US$2 million annually in illegal fishing fines, to AI-assisted health diagnostics in countries including Nauru and Vanuatu. Digital innovation is advancing in Palau too, alongside partnerships with the European Union and UNCDF that are expanding digital services and AI-enabled financial inclusion across the region.
These are real wins, but they are wins within a system the Pacific did not design. The region already knows what it means to be on the wrong side of a divergence, in climate, in trade, in debt vulnerability. AI follows the same logic at greater speed. The difference is that the rules of AI are still being written, which means the divergence is not yet locked in. That window will not stay open for long. The time for the Pacific to shape the outcome is now, not once the frameworks are agreed and the tools are already being deployed.
The Pacific has spent decades demonstrating what it means to decide collectively, account for future generations, and treat traditional knowledge as sacred rather than extractive. These are not liabilities in the age of AI.
This is where a Pacific contribution can be pitched, while also driving for fairness in AI access and a gain in capabilities to even the odds in the AI race. Pacific representation in the forums shaping AI's future can and must emphasise the distinction this region brings to shape AI models and applications of the future.

上周,来自世界各地的政府在日内瓦召开了联合国全球人工智能治理对话的首次会议,并发布了独立国际科学小组关于人工智能的首份报告。这标志着建立全球人工智能规则的重要一步。
在探讨人工智能为太平洋带来的可能性时,我们也应考虑太平洋能为人工智能的未来做出什么贡献。这两个问题都是相关且相互联系的,尤其是从人类发展进步的角度来看。
在小型、偏远经济体中,最初的本能甚至是焦虑,可能是将人工智能视为一种落后竞争的工具。确实需要进行追赶。因此,例如汤加王国通过国家数字准备评估,推出了商业5G,并围绕数字优先模型重建政府服务,包括旨在帮助公民以自己的语言与国家互动的人工智能工具。
斐济、萨摩亚和瓦努阿图等国也进行了类似的数字准备评估,为太平洋的人工智能采用和数字转型奠定基础。这反映出政府在国家层面的强有力领导和承诺,最高层愿意参与竞争并加速进程。
像这样的基础性工作使得汤加等国能够基于经验而非愿望在这一问题上发声。这包括投资于人民的人工智能技能和数字能力,以充分利用人工智能所能提供的新数据和服务。
然而,仅将太平洋的人工智能挑战框定为追赶的练习,忽视了该地区比几乎任何其他地方更能看到的现实。在汤加,正如在整个太平洋地区,人工智能系统遇到了一些它们未被设计来应对的情况。当地社区对海洋导航、天气、土地和海洋的许多知识是口头的、关系性的,并且是集体持有的,通过实践和代际责任传承,而不是存储在数据库中。其中一些是神圣的,故意从未被书写下来。
《太平洋未来报告》认为,真正的问题不是太平洋国家是否采用人工智能,而是技术是否支持太平洋人民,特别是年轻一代,所希望的未来。数字图瓦卢(Digital Tuvalu)或许是最清晰的例子:一个处于气候变化前线的国家,利用数字技术保护其文化、遗产和身份,以便为后代保留,同时推进西蒙·科菲(Simon Kofe)关于图瓦卢人能够相互联系、探索他们的祖先和文化,并获得新的商业和贸易机会的未来愿景。
这并不是人工智能采用的障碍,而是塑造这些技术设计和治理的机会。因此,汤加在将这一太平洋视角带入人工智能未来方面处于良好位置,贡献关于身份、管理、文化和知识体系的观点,这些观点在今天的模型和辩论中仍然缺乏。
这引出了当前人工智能领域中一个更大的缺失部分——经验性和非书面知识及决策,以及代际责任,不应被视为边缘考虑。这些是今天全球人工智能治理讨论中仍然缺乏的关键输入。询问人工智能框架和模型如何处理一套选择不进行数字化的知识体系,答案是它们并不是以此为出发点构建的。还没有。
汤加自身的数字转型使其在这一论点上具有可信度,正因为它没有急于求成。2023年在莫尔斯比港签署的拉加托伊宣言(Lagatoi Declaration),在人工智能主导对话之前,就设定了数字转型、基础设施和治理的共享区域方法。汤加的参与反映了更广泛的区域承诺:一个数字连接的太平洋也应该是一个安全和协作治理的太平洋,建立在共享标准的基础上,而不是每个国家单独解决相同的问题。
架构已经存在。
现在迫切需要的是部署人工智能。人工智能可能造成的巨大分歧并不是一个遥远的概念。今年三月,汤加举办了以此为名的报告的太平洋发布会,探讨了人工智能和数字技术的快速加速如何扩大了构建这些系统的经济体与将仅仅生活在其后果中的经济体和社会之间的差距。
然而,人工智能已经在太平洋地区带来了成果,从基里巴斯的卫星和人工智能支持的渔业监测,帮助每年追回约200万美元的非法捕鱼罚款,到包括瑙鲁和瓦努阿图在内的国家的人工智能辅助健康诊断。帕劳的数字创新也在推进,与欧盟和联合国开发计划署(UNCDF)的合作正在扩大该地区的数字服务和人工智能支持的金融包容性。
这些都是实实在在的胜利,但它们是在太平洋没有设计的系统内取得的胜利。该地区已经知道在气候、贸易和债务脆弱性方面处于分歧的错误一方意味着什么。人工智能以更快的速度遵循相同的逻辑。不同之处在于,人工智能的规则仍在制定中,这意味着分歧尚未锁定。这个窗口不会长时间保持开放。太平洋塑造结果的时机就是现在,而不是在框架达成一致、工具已经被部署之后。
太平洋花费了几十年时间证明集体决策、考虑未来世代以及将传统知识视为神圣而非掠夺性的重要性。这些在人工智能时代并不是负担。
这就是太平洋可以贡献的地方,同时推动人工智能获取的公平性和提升能力,以平衡人工智能竞赛中的劣势。太平洋在塑造人工智能未来的论坛中的代表性可以并且必须强调该地区在塑造未来人工智能模型和应用方面所带来的独特性。

Honiara, Solomon Islands - Twenty-five women market vendors from Honiara are celebrating a significant milestone in their journey towards financial empowerment after successfully completing the Saver Plus Initiative—a matched savings programme implemented through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with ANZ Bank.
The graduation ceremony, held at the Heritage Park Hotel, marked the culmination of a ten-month pilot programme that combined financial literacy with practical savings, equipping women market vendors with the knowledge, confidence, and financial tools to improve their livelihoods and strengthen their economic resilience.
Participants committed to saving SBD180 every month over ten months. Upon completing the programme, ANZ matched each participant's savings, enabling the women to purchase productive assets and essential household items they had identified through ANZ's MoneyMinded financial literacy training.
For many of the graduates, the programme has transformed not only their financial situation but also their mindset.
"Before joining the programme, I saved only when I had money left over. Through the MoneyMinded training, I learned how to budget, set financial goals, and save consistently. Completing the programme has given me confidence that I can plan for my family's future and achieve the goals I once thought were out of reach," shared one participant. Ms Betty Isu, market vendor, Honiara Municipal Market
The Saver Plus Initiative demonstrates the power of combining financial education with practical incentives to promote lasting behavioural change. Through regular saving, budgeting, and financial planning, participants have developed habits that will continue to benefit them well beyond the life of the programme.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, the UNDP Solomon Islands Inclusive Growth Team leader, Mr Solomon Kalu, congratulated the graduates and reaffirmed UNDP's commitment to women's economic empowerment.
"Today's graduation is about much more than completing a savings programme. It is about empowering women with the confidence, knowledge, and opportunities to make informed financial decisions, strengthen their businesses, and invest in a more secure future. When women are economically empowered, families prosper, communities become more resilient, and nations grow stronger."

Through the Markets for Change initiative, UNDP continues to work alongside governments, local authorities, development partners, and the private sector to create more inclusive economic opportunities for women, particularly those working in the informal economy.
The programme also reflects the strength of UNDP's long-standing partnership with ANZ Bank, whose MoneyMinded financial literacy programme has helped thousands of people across the Pacific build financial capability. By introducing the Saver Plus Initiative in Solomon Islands, the partnership has taken an important step beyond financial education by enabling participants to translate their new knowledge into meaningful financial assets.
Another graduate described the discipline required throughout the programme.
"Saving SBD180 every month was not always easy, especially when there were many family expenses. But the training encouraged me to stay committed, and knowing that our savings would be matched motivated me to keep going. Today, I am proud that I can purchase the items I planned for without taking on debt." Ms Grace Piko, market vendor, Honiara Municipal Market
The initiative highlights the important role of partnerships in advancing financial inclusion and achieving sustainable development outcomes. Working together, UNDP, ANZ Bank, and the Honiara City Council Division of Women have demonstrated how collaborative approaches can create tangible benefits for women market vendors and their families.
Beyond individual success stories, the programme contributes to broader national development priorities by strengthening women's participation in the economy, promoting financial inclusion, and supporting more resilient households and communities.
For another participant, the impact of the programme extends beyond her own family.
"This programme has taught me that financial independence starts with small, consistent steps. I will continue saving even after today, and I want to share what I have learned with other women in my community so they can also improve their lives and build a better future for their families." Ms Martha Ossie, market vendor, Honiara Municipal Market
As the graduates begin the next chapter of their financial journey, the Saver Plus Initiative stands as a powerful example of what can be achieved when women are equipped with the right knowledge, supported by strong partnerships, and given access to practical financial opportunities.
UNDP remains committed to working with government, the private sector, and development partners to expand financial inclusion, strengthen women's economic empowerment, and ensure that no one is left behind.
About Markets for Change (M4C)
The Markets for Change (M4C) initiative supports women market vendors across Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Samoa by promoting inclusive market governance, strengthening women's leadership, improving livelihoods, and expanding access to economic opportunities. In Solomon Islands, M4C works closely with national and local partners to create safer, more inclusive, and economically empowering market environments that enable women to be empowered and contribute meaningfully to their family, and communities.

霍尼亚拉,所罗门群岛 - 二十五名来自霍尼亚拉的女性市场商贩在成功完成Saver Plus计划后,庆祝她们在金融赋权之路上的重要里程碑。该计划是通过联合国开发计划署(UNDP)与澳新银行(ANZ)合作实施的配对储蓄项目。
毕业典礼在遗产公园酒店举行,标志着为期十个月的试点项目的圆满结束,该项目将金融素养与实际储蓄相结合,使女性市场商贩掌握了改善生计和增强经济韧性的知识、信心和金融工具。
参与者承诺在十个月内每月储蓄180所罗门元。完成项目后,澳新银行为每位参与者的储蓄提供配对资金,使女性能够购买她们通过澳新银行的MoneyMinded金融素养培训所识别的生产性资产和必要的家庭用品。
对于许多毕业生来说,该项目不仅改变了她们的财务状况,也改变了她们的心态。
“在参加这个项目之前,我只有在有剩余钱时才会储蓄。通过MoneyMinded培训,我学会了如何制定预算、设定财务目标并持续储蓄。完成这个项目让我有信心可以为我家人的未来规划,实现我曾认为无法达到的目标,”一位参与者分享道。霍尼亚拉市市场商贩贝蒂·伊苏(Ms Betty Isu)。
Saver Plus计划展示了将金融教育与实际激励相结合以促进持久行为改变的力量。通过定期储蓄、预算和财务规划,参与者已经养成了将继续惠及她们的习惯,远超项目的生命周期。
在毕业典礼上,联合国开发计划署所罗门群岛包容性增长团队负责人所罗门·卡卢(Mr Solomon Kalu)祝贺毕业生,并重申了联合国开发计划署对女性经济赋权的承诺。
“今天的毕业典礼不仅仅是完成一个储蓄项目。这是关于赋予女性信心、知识和机会,使她们能够做出明智的财务决策,增强她们的业务,并投资于更安全的未来。当女性获得经济赋权时,家庭繁荣,社区变得更加韧性,国家也会变得更强大。”

通过“变革市场”(Markets for Change)计划,联合国开发计划署(UNDP)继续与政府、地方当局、发展伙伴和私营部门合作,为女性创造更多包容性的经济机会,特别是那些在非正式经济中工作的女性。
该项目还反映了UNDP与澳新银行(ANZ Bank)长期合作关系的力量,其“MoneyMinded”金融素养项目帮助太平洋地区数千人提高了金融能力。通过在所罗门群岛推出Saver Plus计划,这一合作关系在金融教育的基础上迈出了重要一步,使参与者能够将新知识转化为有意义的金融资产。
另一位毕业生描述了在整个项目中所需的纪律。
“每个月储蓄180所罗门元并不总是容易,尤其是当家庭开支较多时。但培训鼓励我保持承诺,知道我们的储蓄会得到匹配激励我继续努力。今天,我为自己能够在不负债的情况下购买计划中的物品而感到自豪。”——市场商贩Grace Piko,霍尼亚拉市市场
该计划突显了合作伙伴关系在推动金融包容性和实现可持续发展成果中的重要作用。UNDP、澳新银行和霍尼亚拉市妇女事务部共同展示了如何通过协作方法为女性市场商贩及其家庭创造切实的利益。
除了个人成功故事,该项目还通过增强女性在经济中的参与、促进金融包容性以及支持更具韧性的家庭和社区,为更广泛的国家发展优先事项做出了贡献。
对于另一位参与者来说,该项目的影响超出了她自己的家庭。
“这个项目教会我,经济独立始于小而持续的步骤。我会在今天之后继续储蓄,并希望与社区中的其他女性分享我所学到的知识,以便她们也能改善生活,为家庭建设更美好的未来。”——市场商贩Martha Ossie,霍尼亚拉市市场
随着毕业生们开始他们财务旅程的下一章,Saver Plus 计划成为了一个强有力的例证,展示了当女性获得正确的知识、得到强有力的合作支持,并获得实用的金融机会时,可以实现的成就。
联合国开发计划署(UNDP)始终致力于与政府、私营部门和发展伙伴合作,扩大金融包容性,加强女性经济赋权,确保没有人被落下。
关于市场变革(M4C)
市场变革(M4C)计划通过促进包容性市场治理、加强女性领导力、改善生计和扩大经济机会,支持斐济、瓦努阿图、所罗门群岛和萨摩亚的女性市场商贩。在所罗门群岛,M4C与国家和地方合作伙伴紧密合作,创造更安全、更具包容性和经济赋权的市场环境,使女性能够获得赋权,并为她们的家庭和社区做出有意义的贡献。

How can Pacific youth influence climate decisions?
That question was at the heart of a fireside chat during the Pacific Youth Talanoa.
Featuring Sally Higgins, COP31 Presidency Youth Climate Champion, alongside Dianne Parascos (Papua New Guinea) and Douglas Willietien (Vanuatu), participants explored how Pacific youth can engage in climate decision-making from national consultations and youth networks to the UNFCCC and COP processes.
Young people raised important questions about climate-smart agriculture, food security, access to funding for youth-led climate initiatives, and how Pacific innovation, climate data and Indigenous knowledge can be better reflected in regional and global climate discussions. They also explored how climate action can be more inclusive, ensuring the perspectives of women, girls, persons with disabilities, Diverse SOGIESC communities and other underrepresented groups are meaningfully represented.
The discussion reinforced that Pacific youth are already creating climate solutions in their communities. The next step is ensuring those experiences, ideas and innovations help shape the decisions that will define the region's future.

太平洋青年如何影响气候决策?
这个问题是太平洋青年Talanoa活动中一次炉边谈话的核心。
活动邀请了COP31主席青年气候冠军Sally Higgins,以及来自巴布亚新几内亚的Dianne Parascos和瓦努阿图的Douglas Willietien,参与者探讨了太平洋青年如何参与气候决策,从国家咨询和青年网络到联合国气候变化框架公约(UNFCCC)和COP流程。
年轻人提出了关于气候智能农业、粮食安全、青年主导的气候倡议资金获取,以及如何更好地在区域和全球气候讨论中反映太平洋创新、气候数据和土著知识的重要问题。他们还探讨了如何使气候行动更加包容,确保女性、女孩、残障人士、多元性别性取向和性别认同(Diverse SOGIESC)社区及其他代表性不足群体的观点得到有意义的体现。
讨论强调,太平洋青年已经在他们的社区中创造了气候解决方案。下一步是确保这些经验、想法和创新帮助塑造将定义该地区未来的决策。

Earlier this month, four Pacific countries took an important step towards strengthening climate resilience, with around US$14 million in Global Environment Facility financing approved to support the next stage of climate adaptation projects in Fiji, the Federated States of Micronesia, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
As the Pacific prepares for Pre-COP and COP31, investing in adaptation has never been more important.

本月早些时候,四个太平洋国家在加强气候韧性方面迈出了重要一步,获得了约1400万美元的全球环境基金(Global Environment Facility)融资,以支持斐济、密克罗尼西亚联邦、图瓦卢和瓦努阿图的气候适应项目的下一阶段。
随着太平洋地区为预备会议(Pre-COP)和第31届缔约方会议(COP31)做准备,投资于适应变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。

The conversation continues and Pacific youth are ready to shape what comes next.
Today, participants in the Pacific Youth Talanoa Series are building the skills, knowledge and confidence to influence climate action, from understanding how decisions are made to helping shape the Pacific Youth Communiqué ahead of Pre-COP31 and COP31.
Opening Talanoa 2 of the series, Martin Wandera, Director of the International Labour Organization for the Pacific Island Countries, challenged participants to move from being consulted to shaping outcomes, encouraging them to carry what they learn into the spaces where climate decisions are made.
We were honoured to welcome Sally Higgins, COP31 Presidency Youth Climate Champion, who reminded participants that while global forums help set ambition, real climate action happens every day in Pacific communities. She encouraged young people to keep leading, innovating and sharing their lived experiences, while creating more opportunities for other youth voices to be heard.
Fiji's Permanent Secretary for Environment and Climate Change, Dr Sivendra Michael, also joined the Talanoa, providing participants with an overview of the UNFCCC and COP processes, the role of Pre-COP, and how Pacific youth can align their advocacy with Fiji's Pre-COP priorities. His session encouraged participants to see themselves not just as observers, but as contributors to a stronger and more unified Pacific voice on the global stage.
Throughout the day, participants put these ideas into practice, exploring how climate decisions are made, strengthening their advocacy skills and refining the Pacific Youth Communiqué, a youth-led document that will help carry Pacific priorities into the lead-up to Pre-COP31 and COP31.
The Pacific Youth Talanoa Series is co-designed and co-led by the UN in Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu & Vanuatu and the Pacific Youth Council in partnership with Pasifika Communities University and other regional organisations.
对话继续,太平洋青年准备塑造未来。
今天,参与太平洋青年Talanoa系列活动的成员正在提升技能、知识和信心,以影响气候行动,从理解决策过程到帮助制定太平洋青年公报,为预COP31和COP31做准备。
在系列活动的第二场Talanoa中,国际劳工组织太平洋岛国主任马丁·万德拉(Martin Wandera)挑战参与者从被咨询者转变为结果的塑造者,鼓励他们将所学带入气候决策的场所。
我们荣幸地欢迎COP31主席青年气候冠军萨莉·希金斯(Sally Higgins),她提醒参与者,尽管全球论坛有助于设定目标,但真正的气候行动每天都在太平洋社区中发生。她鼓励年轻人继续领导、创新和分享他们的生活经历,同时为其他青年声音创造更多被听到的机会。
斐济环境与气候变化常务秘书西文德拉·迈克尔博士(Dr Sivendra Michael)也参加了Talanoa,为参与者提供了关于《联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)和COP流程的概述,预COP的角色,以及太平洋青年如何将他们的倡导与斐济的预COP优先事项对齐。他的发言鼓励参与者不仅要将自己视为观察者,更要作为全球舞台上更强大、更统一的太平洋声音的贡献者。
在当天的活动中,参与者将这些理念付诸实践,探索气候决策的形成,增强他们的倡导技能,并完善太平洋青年公报,这是一份由青年主导的文件,将帮助在预COP31和COP31之前传达太平洋的优先事项。
