斐济纳迪——限制全球变暖关乎生存，而太多国家正在逃避削减排放的责任。联合国即将召开的重磅气候大会的主管官员于10月8日，即会议预热活动的最后一天表示。
NADI, Fiji – Restricting global warming is a matter of survival, and too many countries are shirking their responsibility to cut emissions, the official presiding over the UN’s flagship upcoming climate conference said on the final day of the meeting’s precursor event on Oct 8.
土耳其气候部长、2026年联合国COP会议（COP31）主席穆拉特·库鲁姆在新闻发布会上表示：“如今，每个人都在逃避责任。我们一刻也耽误不得，一天也浪费不起。”他是在COP预热活动的最后一天发表上述言论的。本周，数千名代表齐聚斐济，其中来自30个国家的一个代表团在11月土耳其安塔利亚举行正式会议前前往了图瓦卢。
“Today is a time where everyone is running away from responsibility,” Murat Kurum, Turkey’s climate minister and president of the 2026 United Nations COP conference, COP31, said at a news conference. “We do not have a single minute, a single day to lose.”He was speaking on the final day of pre-COP, which brought thousands of delegates to Fiji this week and took a group from 30 countries to Tuvalu ahead of the main event to be held in Antalya, Turkey, in November.
回顾他于10月6日对图瓦卢这个低矮小国的访问，库鲁姆表示，那里的母亲和儿童正面临日益严重的涨潮威胁。
Reflecting on his visit to the tiny low-lying atoll nation of Tuvalu on Oct 6, Kurum said mothers and children were under increasing threat from every high tide.
太平洋岛国试图利用在本地区举行的COP预热活动，将自身优先事项纳入COP31的议程。
Pacific Island nations sought to use the pre-COP in their region to embed their priorities into the COP31 agenda.
这些优先事项包括：为增强适应能力的各类项目争取更多资金、保护海洋，以及将全球变暖幅度控制在工业化前水平之上1.5摄氏度以内。联合国环境规划署指出，这一目标短期内难以实现，但通过持续减排，长期来看或可实现。不过，库鲁姆强调，坚守这一温度上限至关重要。
These include better access to funding for resilience projects, protection of oceans and holding warming beneath 1.5 deg C above pre-industrial levels, something the UN Environment Programme says is impossible in the near term but could be achieved over time with emissions reduction. But Kurum said holding to that limit is crucial.
他说：“1.5摄氏度这一目标关乎生存——关乎文化、历史、记忆、故土和家园的存续。”图瓦卢由狭长的陆地条带组成，平均海拔仅约2米。该国正遭受日益频繁的洪水、海水入侵和极端天气的侵袭。
“This 1.5 degree goal is a matter of survival,” he said. “The survival of cultures, history, memories, your homeland, your homes.”Tuvalu consists of thin strips of land on average around 2m above sea level. It is suffering from increasing flooding, saltwater encroachment and volatile weather.
库鲁姆将图瓦卢可能消失的威胁与北约国家承诺将国防开支提升至国内生产总值的5%进行了对比。
Kurum contrasted the threat that Tuvalu will disappear with commitments by NATO nations to increase defence spending to 5% of gross domestic product.
他说道：“如果连生存的土地都没有，投入5%的国防开支又意味着什么？又该如何捍卫国家？”
“What does it mean to spend 5% for defence if you don’t have a country to live on? What does it mean to defend it?“ he said.
“为1.5摄氏度目标提供15亿美元（19亿新加坡元）的融资，就能拯救太平洋。就是这么简单。图瓦卢的生活将继续下去，孩子们也会再次露出笑容，”他说。
“Financing of US$1.5 billion (S$1.9 billion) for 1.5 degrees will save the Pacific. It’s that easy. Life will continue in Tuvalu. Children will be smiling again,” he said.
库鲁姆承诺，在土耳其举行的COP31会议上，太平洋地区的目标将得到认真对待。约30个国家的代表于10月6日签署了一份宣言，支持这些目标，并呼吁实现“深度、迅速且持续的减排”。
Kurum pledged that Pacific goals will be taken seriously at COP31 in Turkey. Representatives of around 30 countries signed a declaration on Oct 6 endorsing those goals and calling for “deep, rapid and sustained emissions reductions”.
土耳其是煤炭和石油的重要使用者，其二氧化碳排放量在过去几十年中急剧上升，但该国已承诺到2053年实现净零排放，并正在扩大可再生能源的使用。
Turkey is a significant user of coal and oil whose carbon dioxide emissions have risen sharply in recent decades but it has pledged to cut them to net-zero by 2053 and is expanding renewable energy.
