COP31主办方土耳其和澳大利亚计划推动一项主席国主导的决定，以打破僵局并推动发布更强有力的气候行动声明。
COP31 organisers in Turkey and Australia plan a presidency-led decision to break logjams and push for a stronger climate action statement.
太平洋岛国领导人在斐济和图瓦卢举行的COP31筹备会议上要求提供更多气候资金、加强海洋保护并加快化石燃料行动，因为该地区正面临海平面上升和珊瑚消失的威胁。
Pacific leaders used the Fiji and Tuvalu pre-COP31 to demand more climate finance, ocean protection and faster action on fossil fuels, as their region faces rising seas and coral loss.
官员和活动人士警告称，太平洋岛国极其脆弱，图瓦卢面临着可能需要迁移其人口的风险。
Officials and activists warned that Pacific island nations are highly exposed, with Tuvalu facing possible relocation of its population.
AI生成 斐济楠迪讯——即将在土耳其举行的联合国气候峰会组织者于10月8日表示，他们将准备一份供各国通过的总结文本，因为他们正在主导推动“雄心勃勃”的行动，以使将全球气温上升控制在1.5摄氏度以内的目标触手可及。
AI generated NADI, Fiji – Organisers of an upcoming UN climate summit in Turkey said on Oct 8 they would prepare a summary text for countries to adopt, as they lead a push for “ambitious” action on keeping the goal of global temperature rise of 1.5 deg C within reach.
这场联合国赞助的全球气候峰会——即COP31——将于11月在安塔利亚举行，此前在斐济和图瓦卢举行的“预COP”会议已于10月8日结束。
The United Nations-sponsored global climate summit – known as COP31 – will be held in Antalya in November, following a “pre-COP” meeting in Fiji and Tuvalu, which wrapped up on Oct 8.
共同主办国澳大利亚和土耳其于10月8日誓言，将推动谈判代表就一项所谓的主席国主导决定进行投票，该决定将由他们预先准备好。
Co-organisers Australia and Turkey vowed on Oct 8 to get negotiators to vote on a so-called presidency-led decision that they would have prepared beforehand.
理论上讲，这将确立一个坚定且切合实际的议程，避免往往主导COP会议、在对个别技术点进行投票前陷入漫长而艰苦的谈判。
That would, in theory at least, set a firm and realistic agenda, cutting the endless hours of gruelling negotiations that often dominate COP meetings before votes are taken on individual technical points.
他们表示，该决定将侧重于具有约束力的协议，例如一项关于电气化的协议，即用电力替代品取代直接燃烧化石燃料的技术，如柴油汽车和燃气供暖。
That decision, they said, would focus on binding agreements like one towards electrification, replacing technologies that burn fossil fuels directly, like diesel cars and gas heating, with electric alternatives.
“我们认为，主席国主导的决定给了我们在COP31取得强有力且雄心勃勃成果的最佳机会，”澳大利亚气候变化部长鲍恩表示。
“We feel that a presidency-led decision gives us the best chance of a strong and ambitious outcome at COP31,” Australia’s Climate Minister Chris Bowen said.
“要发出遵循科学、将1.5度目标控制在可及范围内的信号，尽管科学证据表明我们将超越这一目标。我们必须将超越的幅度和时间控制在最小、最短范围内，”他说。
“To send the signal to follow the science to keep 1.5 degrees within reach, against the backdrop of the scientific evidence that we will overshoot it. We’ve got to overshoot it for as little and as short as possible,” he said.
科学家们一致认为，与工业化前时期相比，全球气温上升超过1.5摄氏度将带来严重风险。近200个国家在十年前承诺，努力将全球气温上升控制在这一较为安全的阈值之内。
Scientists agree that warming above 1.5 deg C relative to pre-industrial times poses grave risks, and nearly 200 nations committed a decade ago to try and keep global temperature rises to this safer threshold.
然而，随着海平面上升已经逼近太平洋沿岸国家的海岸线，并导致支撑这些国家的珊瑚礁大量死亡，必须采取更坚决的行动，以终结污染性化石燃料的使用。
But with rising sea levels already lapping the coastlines of Pacific nations and the corals that sustain them dying, more firm action on ending the use of polluting fossil fuels is needed.
“与我们社区所面临的危机规模和紧迫性相比，本周会谈的成果不过是杯水车薪，”绿色和平组织澳大利亚太平洋区负责人希瓦·古登（Shiva Gounden）表示。
“The outcomes of this week’s talks are a drop in the ocean given the scale of need, and urgency of the crisis our communities are facing,” Shiva Gounden, head of Pacific at Greenpeace Australia Pacific, said.
她指出：“如果我们不紧急采取行动，解决图瓦卢、斐济及所有太平洋国家所面临生存威胁的根本原因——即化石燃料的扩张——那么这就像端着一杯水去救着火的房子。”脆弱的太平洋国家利用此次峰会前的平台，呼吁获得更多支持。
“It is like taking a glass of water to a burning house if we do not urgently act to address the root cause of the existential threat facing Tuvalu, Fiji and all Pacific countries: fossil fuel expansion,” she said. Vulnerable Pacific nations used the pre-COP platform to push for more backing.
南太平洋是全球最易受全球变暖影响的地区之一，从威胁家园的海平面上升，到导致珊瑚白化的气温升高，问题层出不穷。
The South Pacific is among the regions of the world most vulnerable to global warming, from rising seas jeopardising homes to increasing temperatures causing coral bleaching.
为凸显采取行动的紧迫性，本周各国领导人访问了图瓦卢——一个偏远岛国。该国已计划，如果岛屿被海洋吞噬，便将其1.06万居民迁移至他处。
In a push to highlight the urgent need for action, leaders this week visited Tuvalu, a remote island nation already laying plans to relocate its population of 10,600 if the island nation is consumed by the ocean.
此外，本周峰会期间，该地区领导人还敦促将海洋和气候融资问题置于COP31议程的首位，并坚持维持1.5摄氏度的温控目标。但地区代表们坦言，这一过程令人疲惫。
And the region’s leaders pushed throughout the summit this week for oceans and climate finance to be top of the agenda at COP31, as well as maintaining the 1.5 deg C target. But regional delegates admitted the process is tiring.
“坦率地说，COP的运作方式并不理想，”太平洋气候特使蒂娜·埃奥内姆托（Tina Eonemto）表示。
“The way that the COP process works is not great, I’ll be very frank,” Pacific climate envoy Tina Eonemto said.
不过她也指出，太平洋国家已将这一问题置于“核心位置”，并对COP31结束时由主席国主导作出决定的计划表示欢迎。
But she said Pacific nations have put their hopes “front and centre” and welcomed plans for a presidency-led decision at the end of COP31.
在地缘政治紧张局势不断升级、各国军事预算持续增加之际，COP31主席穆拉特·库鲁姆（Murat Kurum）——他同时也是土耳其环境部长——敦促各国将气候危机视为与国防同等重要的问题。
At a time of rising military budgets in the face of mounting geopolitical tensions, COP31 President Murat Kurum, who is also Turkey’s environment minister, urged nations to take the climate crisis as seriously as they did defence.
库鲁姆表示：“图瓦卢正在消失。如果我们做出这样的决定，又有什么用呢？如果地球上已没有宜居之地，捍卫国界又有什么意义？”
“Tuvalu is disappearing. What good does it do if we take this decision? What good is defending your borders if there is no livable world left?“ Kurum said.
根据联合国8月发布的一份报告，受海洋变暖和冰川融化影响，海平面上升速度正创下纪录。
Sea levels are rising at a record pace, driven by warming oceans and glacier melt, according to an August UN report.
报告指出，到2050年，全球可能有高达12亿人被迫流离失所，而太平洋岛国地区海平面上升的速度将是全球平均水平的两倍。
Up to 1.2 billion people could be displaced by 2050, with Pacific island countries experiencing sea level rise at twice the global average, it said.
一位太平洋地区代表表示，他希望在安塔利亚会议上，该地区的声音能够“得到平等、公正且充满尊重的对待”。
One Pacific delegate said he hopes that voices from the region will be “treated equally and fairly and with all respect” in Antalya.
他说：“这就是底线。我们拥有生存的权利，而生命本身是一项人权。”（法新社）
“That’s the bottom line,” he said. “We have a right to life, and life is a human right.”AFP
