巴西利亚，10月8日——根据气候倡导组织“气候观察站”的一项研究，本月选举结束后，巴西新一届国会很可能会给环境保护相关立法带来更大阻力。该研究发现，近70%的当选议员对环境问题缺乏关注或几乎没有承诺。
BRASILIA, Oct 8 - Brazil's next Congress is likely to pose a greater obstacle to legislation to protect the environment after elections this month, according to a study by climate advocacy group Observatorio do Clima, which found that almost 70% of elected lawmakers have little or no commitment to environmental issues.
这项研究分析了新当选及连任议员的提案、立法建议、演讲及公开言论，结果显示：在81名参议员中，有64人的环保表现被评定为“极差”或“较差”。在众议院，511名议员中有345人也属于这一类别。
The study analyzed bills, legislative proposals, speeches and public statements by new and re-elected lawmakers and concluded that 64 of the Senate's 81 members have a track record of "very low" or "low" commitment to environmental issues. In the lower house, 345 of 511 lawmakers were placed in the same category.
研究指出，在本月晚些时候将与总统卢拉展开第二轮对决的右翼参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗所属的自由党，在各大政党中环保记录最为糟糕。
The Liberal Party, home to right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, who will face President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in a runoff election for the presidency later this month, has the weakest environmental credentials among major parties, the study found.
尽管未能获得足够选票直接胜选，但博索纳罗打破了民调预测，在第一轮选举中击败了卢拉。
Bolsonaro defied pollsters to beat Lula in the first round, though he did not secure enough votes to avoid a second vote.
周日当选的该党全部28名参议员以及众议院议员，均被归类为对环保事业缺乏重视的群体。
All of the party's 28 senators elected on Sunday, as well as members elected to the lower house, were classified as having very low commitment to environmental issues.
研究还显示，包括新党、共和党、进步党以及巴西联盟在内的其他右翼政党，同样对环保事业支持度较低。
Other right-leaning parties, including Novo, Republicanos, Progressistas and Uniao Brasil, also showed low support for environmental causes, the study said.
“气候观察站”指出，随着国会进一步右倾，若曾发表过引发争议的气候相关言论的博索纳罗成功当选总统，环保倡导者或将面临更为艰难的政治环境。路透社尝试联系上述政党，但未收到任何回复。
Environmental advocates could face a more challenging political landscape with Congress shifting further to the right and if Bolsonaro -- whose past comments on climate change have caused concern -- is elected president, Observatorio do Clima said. Reuters contacted the named parties but did not receive responses.
该组织补充称，旨在削弱环保措施的各项提案——包括缩减保护区范围、允许在原住民土地上采矿以及放宽环境许可要求等——在新一届国会中可能获得更多支持。
Proposals that could weaken environmental protections, including measures to reduce protected areas, allow mining on Indigenous lands and ease environmental licensing requirements, may gain momentum under the new Congress, the group added.
“这张照片体现了那些致力于气候与环境问题的人士四年来付出的艰辛努力，”该组织的公共政策协调员苏莉·阿劳霍说道。
"This picture points to four years of difficult work for those focused on climate and environmental issues," said Suely Araujo, the group's public policy coordinator.
