一 | NEW YORK -- Bloomberg Philanthropies unveiled a $50 million initiative Wednesday to help cities address global issues, including climate change, by launching programs proven effective in other cities around the world.The Bloomberg Cities Idea Exchange will give city governments grants for startup costs and technical support, as well as sponsor trips and webinars to inform leaders about new programs.“Cities are a force for change on all of the big challenges we’re facing, and we’ve long worked to spread the best ideas globally,” Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies, said in a statement. “This new Bloomberg Cities Idea Exchange will intensify and expand those efforts, bringing new muscle and rigor to the replication process.”The new initiative, announced at the Bloomberg CityLab conference in Washington on Wednesday, formalizes a process that CityLab has used for years. As former mayor of New York City, Bloomberg knows the importance of seeking out ideas that other cities have already proven, said James Anderson, who leads Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Government Innovation Program.“He understood the unique opportunity that city leaders have to drive progress locally, but also contribute to driving around global issues like climate change,” Anderson told The Associated Press in an interview. “We looked around and we understood very quickly that many city halls did not have the capacity they needed to find solutions and to implement them locally, to make them more ambitious and move their cities and the world forward.”They decided that philanthropy could play an important role in helping cities launch innovative programs and then unlock further funding from governments or other donors, Anderson said.The Bloomberg Cities Idea Exchange builds on the success of programs like an environmental initiative in Lincoln, Nebraska, that turns wood waste into a charcoal-like material called biochar that reduces the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.In 2022, the city received a $400,000 grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies to launch the program and it has already made a difference in the city, said Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird. The biochar — which the city produces from trees blown down in storms or damaged by the emerald ash borer beetle — traps carbon, conserves water and improves the soil.“We have ambitious climate action goals,” Gaylor Baird said. “And we’re looking for innovative solutions to help us sequester carbon and improve quality of life and also just deal with some of the impacts of changing weather patterns.”Without the Bloomberg Philanthropies grant, Lincoln would not have been able to launch the biochar initiative so quickly, Gaylor Baird said. Or receive a $100,000 grant from the Nebraska Forest Service.Mattias Gustafsson, co-founder of the consulting firm EcoTopic and the project manager of the Stockholm Biochar Initiative, which the Lincoln project is modeled after, said he is “proud and amazed” to see the idea replicated around the world. In the United States, Cincinnati and Minneapolis have also launched biochar projects, along with Helsinki, Darmstadt, Germany, Helsingborg, Sweden, and Sandnes, Norway – all with help from Bloomberg Philanthropies.“Cities are really crucial for fighting climate change because they have a different angle coming in,” Gustafsson said. “Cities are not trying to make a profit. They are trying to do something good for their citizens.”The Bloomberg Cities Idea Exchange is designed to help cities in that effort, Anderson said. Numerous projects, highlighted by Bloomberg Philanthropies' Global Mayors Challenge, have already been replicated by cities around the world.The Providence Talks program in Rhode Island, which helps young children learn by increasing the number of words they hear each day, has been adopted by Birmingham, Alabama. The Visor Urbano program in Guadalajara, Mexico, which allows businesses to receive licenses completely online, has already expanded to 100 other cities in Mexico and will soon launch in other Latin American cities. Anderson said that city officials receive so much real time feedback from their residents that they are always looking for new ideas to help them do their jobs better.“They don’t spend as much time giving speeches and engaging in partisanship because they’re in the business of delivering services that people count on every single day,” he said. “There’s an accountability to residents to bring solutions that make a difference in their lives that are visible and measurable. And the cities understand that sometimes those ideas can come from entrepreneurs at home and other times it’s great to steal those ideas from the city down the street.”____Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and nonprofits receives support through the AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

二 | 今天(8月19日)上午,在东风商业航天创新试验区,首颗“雄安造”卫星——鸿擎科技的“鸿鹄03星”搭乘朱雀三号重复使用遥二运载火箭直冲云霄,并顺利入轨。这是第一颗完完整整在雄安研发制造、奔赴太空的卫星,很多人叫它“雄安一号”。这颗卫星成长的每一步,我们都亲眼见证。

三 | 大家可能很难想象它的成长速度。研制生产它的这家企业——蓝箭鸿擎(雄安)空间科技有限公司,去年1月才落地雄安。从一张白纸到卫星下线,只用了10个月,这就是实打实的“雄安速度”。鸿擎科技智能制造中心副总经理、雄安中试中心经理孙德智告诉我们,雄安新区建设了我国第一条流水线式卫星自动化产线,能年产100颗卫星,30多个小时就能完成一颗卫星的下线。几年前,空天信息产业对雄安来说还是个全新赛道。

四 | 自从2024年中国星网总部迁驻雄安后,像一块磁铁,吸引了69家上下游企业、9个创新平台扎堆入驻。如今,“搞空天,到雄安”正在成为行业共识。

五 | 在这里,有人专注搭建卫星间的太空高速网络,有的团队搭建天地互通的信号网络,还有团队专门研发卫星的“太空摆渡车”……从卫星设计、零部件生产,到在轨运维、时空应用,雄安正在构建一条完整的空天信息产业链。这次发射的一大亮点,就是这套雄安专属的可批产模式,再加上朱雀三号重复使用火箭,又从发射端把太空运输的成本门槛打了下来。

六 | “从火箭重复使用到卫星批量制造,中国商业航天正在补齐规模化发展的两块关键拼图,为星座快速部署、持续补网和长期运营打开更大空间。”孙德智说。中国的航天产业,发展得越来越快速、越来越自主。现在,全国已经有超过600家商业航天企业。

七 | 仅去年一年,中国就完成了50次商业发射,占全年发射总数的54%。而雄安一号,只是这条飞天路上最新点亮的一颗星。

八 | 当大屏定格在“发射成功”这四个字时,我真的忍不住眼眶一热。

九 | 古人把星空编成诗,而我们把诗射向星空。

十 | 一代人擘画新城,一代人深耕科创,一代人奔赴星河,致敬每一位航天追光者!我们奔赴苍穹的征途,永不止步!总监制:王丽平策 划:张 霰 胡印斌 耿 佳拍 摄:刘梦妍 康紫祎 马 宁 宋霈雯制 作:郭晶璇。
