想要让全社会平等共享社会发展的成果，在联合国可持续发展议程实施过程中不让一个人掉队，我们需要必要的共识，这其中无比重要的共识之一，就是社会环境的无障碍。
To have the whole society share the fruits of social development equally and leave no one behind in the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda, we need necessary consensuses, among which one of enormous importance is the accessibility of the social environment.
从上个世纪50年代以来，人们对残障的认知模式逐渐转变,残障不再被认为是个人的悲剧与缺陷，而是被视为社会建构的结果。我们必须深刻地认识到，过往社会规范的制定、社会环境的建设完全以“健全人”为原型，忽视了残障人的差异需要。残障人群参与社会生活面临的种种问题，实际是主流社会人为导致的产物。相应地，解决残障问题的关键并非在医学意义，上治愈残障人群肢体、视力、听力等方面存在的功能“缺失”，而是在尊重其尊严的基础上，消除该群体平等参与、充分融入的各种有形和无形障碍，也即通过将残障人群的差异需要融入社会规范当中从而完成对残障人群而言开放、包容、友好的社会环境的建构。在这种背景下，无障碍(acessbility) 应运而生，并成为国际社会的共识，纷纷以立法来对无障碍进行制度性保障。
Since the 1950s, people have gradually changed their cognitive model of
disability. Disability is no longer regarded as a personal tragedy or defect
but as the result of social construction. We must deeply recognize that the
building of social norms and a social environment in the past was wholly based
on "healthy people" and ignored the differentiated needs of people
with disabilities. The problems faced by the disabled in participating in
social life are actually man-made results of mainstream society. Therefore, the
key to solving the problems of disability is not to cure the functional
"losses" of disabled people in limbs, vision, hearing, or other
aspects medically. Instead, it is to eliminate all barriers, visible or
invisible, that prevent the disabled from equally participating and wholly
blending into society on the basis of respecting their dignity. In other words,
we need to construct an open, inclusive, and friendly social environment for
people with disabilities by integrating their differentiated needs into social
norms. Against this background, accessibility came into being and has gradually
become a consensus of the international community. Countries across the world
are establishing laws to provide systemic protection for this.
不仅如此，随着在实践中认知的进一步转变， 人们逐渐意识到，无障碍并非是某一群体的特殊需要，而是全体社会 成员对美好生活的共同需求。而无障碍也并非是社会为了照顾某些成员的额外付出与负担，而是启迪社会建设与技术发展的重要航标与创新源泉。
Additionally, with the further change in cognition in practices, people have gradually recognized that accessibility is the common need of all members of society for a better life rather than the special need of a particular group. Accessibility is not an extra effort or burden of society to take care of some members but an important beacon and source of innovation to inspire social construction and technological development.
但我们必须认识到，目前全社会的无障碍环境建设发展还远远满足不了残障人对美好生活的需求，甚至仍有许多残障人被隔离在主流社会之外，遑论真正具有创新的无障碍环境与产品的设计与发展。
However, we must be aware that the current efforts of the whole society in constructing and developing an accessible environment are far from enough to meet the needs of people with disabilities for a better life. Many remain isolated from mainstream society, let alone an innovative accessible environment and accessible product design and development.
