UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Tuesday urged developed nations to deliver finance and technology to build climate resilience ahead of COP31 in Türkiye.
古特雷斯在伊斯兰堡与巴基斯坦外长伊沙克·达尔共同举行的新闻发布会上指出:“脆弱的发展中国家展现出的领导力无法替代发达国家应尽的责任。”此次访问中,古特雷斯将于周二至周四访问巴基斯坦。
"Leadership from vulnerable developing countries cannot substitute for responsibility from developed countries," Guterres said during a joint news conference with Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar in Islamabad. Guterres is visiting the country from Tuesday to Thursday.
他指出,二十国集团国家的排放量占全球总量的80%,因此“本十年内必须大幅削减这些国家的碳排放量”。古特雷斯强调:“共同但有区别的责任原则必须得到贯彻,各国都应履行自身义务。”他进一步敦促发达国家切实兑现承诺,尤其是“在巴库举行的COP29上达成的各项协议”,向发展中国家提供所需的资金、技术及其他援助,帮助其提升气候适应能力并推动公平转型。此前在巴库气候峰会上,发达国家已同意到2035年每年为发展中国家筹集至少3000亿美元用于气候行动。
The G20 represents 80% of global emissions, he said, emphasizing the need for "a drastic reduction in those emissions this decade." "The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities must apply, but all countries must do their part," Guterres said, urging developed countries to respect their commitments, particularly "those established in COP29 in Baku and deliver the finance, technology and support developing countries need to build resilience and accelerate a just transition." Developed countries agreed at the Baku climate summit to mobilize at least $300 billion annually for developing countries by 2035 to support climate action. Guterres also recalled his last visit to Pakistan in 2022, when he traveled to the country following devastating floods.
古特雷斯还回忆起自己2022年在该国遭遇严重洪灾后曾亲赴巴基斯坦考察的情景。他表示:“尽管巴基斯坦对全球碳排放的贡献微乎其微,但它却处于气候危机的最前线;同时,该国也是应对气候挑战的先锋。”
"Pakistan is on the frontlines of climate chaos despite contributing only a tiny fraction of global emissions. It is also on the frontlines of the response," he said.
联合国气候大会COP31将于11月9日至20日在土耳其安塔利亚举行。
The UN's COP31 conference will be held in Antalya, Türkiye, from Nov. 9-20.
