世界领导人被呼吁在亚美尼亚首都叶里温举行的COP17之前进行“纠偏”，因为联合国表示各国在实现2030年生物多样性目标方面进展不达标。
World leaders are being urged to “course correct” before COP17 in Yerevan, as the UN says nations are off-track on 2030 biodiversity goals.
2022年《自然协定》设定了23项目标，包括减少污染和保护30%的陆地和海洋，但目前的承诺仅能实现27%的陆地和12%的海洋保护。
The 2022 nature pact set 23 targets, including cutting pollution and protecting 30% of land and oceans, but current pledges would reach only 27% of land and 12% of oceans.
资金和补贴改革是主要问题，各国距离每年2000亿美元的融资目标还很远，而新成立的Cali基金目前仅筹集了6000美元。
Money and subsidy reform are major problems, with countries far short of the US$200 billion yearly finance goal and the new Cali Fund raising only US$6,000 so far.
AI生成 巴黎 — — 各国正为10月联合国生物多样性峰会可能带来的令人失望的“成绩单”做准备，各国政府在履行保护维持地球生命的动植物和生态系统的承诺方面进展缓慢。
AI generated PARIS – Nations are steeling for a disappointing report card at October’s UN biodiversity summit, with governments falling short on their commitments to protect the plants, animals and ecosystems that sustain life on Earth.
所谓的COP17峰会将在亚美尼亚首都叶里温举行，这将是近200个在2022年加入《巴黎自然协定》但行动迟缓的国家的一次“清算”。
The so-called COP17 summit in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, will be a reckoning for the nearly 200 nations that joined the landmark Paris Agreement for Nature in 2022 but have been slow to act on its objectives.
该协定设定了23项目标，旨在到2030年 halt 和 reverse 自然损失，包括减少污染、保护受威胁物种以及保护全球30%的陆地和海洋。
It set 23 targets for halting and reversing nature loss by 2030, including reducing pollution, protecting threatened species and conserving 30% of the world’s land and oceans.
但根据联合国生物多样性公约（CBD）的一份草案评估，世界目前进展不达标，无法实现这些目标。该公约负责监督保护自然世界的双年际国际谈判。
But the world is off-track to meet these goals, according to a draft review by the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which oversees the biennial international negotiations on protecting the natural world. “COP17 comes at a critical moment,” An Lambrechts from Greenpeace International told AFP.
“COP17正处于关键时刻，”绿色和平国际组织的An Lambrechts对法新社表示。
“The most important outcome from Yerevan must therefore be a clear course correction. Governments need to move beyond restating promises and agree on concrete actions.”
“因此，叶里温会议最重要的成果必须是明确的‘纠偏’。政府需要停止只是重复承诺，而是同意采取具体行动。”联合国生物多样性公约执行主任Astrid Schomaker对法新社表示，进展正在取得，2030年的目标“仍然可以实现 — — 但前提是必须进行重大改变”。
Astrid Schomaker, executive director of the UN biodiversity convention, told AFP that progress was being made and the 2030 goals were “still reachable – but only with significant change being made”. This includes reducing incentives for politically sensitive industries like agriculture and fossil fuel production, areas where governments have made very little headway to date.
这包括削减对政治敏感行业如农业和化石燃料生产的激励措施，这些领域政府迄今为止几乎没有取得进展。
“Do I think we’re moving in the right direction? Yes, but way too slowly,” Schomaker said.
“我认为我们正朝着正确的方向前进吗？是的，但速度远远太慢了，”肖马克说。
Around 10 heads of state are expected in Yerevan for a leaders’ summit on Oct 16 to start proceedings “and tell the negotiators to be ambitious and constructive” when talks formally begin on Oct 19, she said.
预计将有大约10位国家元首于10月16日在埃里温参加领导人峰会，以启动会议“并告诉谈判代表要雄心勃勃、建设性”，因为正式谈判将于10月19日开始，她说。
Money tensions The nature summit comes weeks before the annual international climate negotiations (COP31) in neighbouring Turkey, and is the first time nations have taken stock of progress since the biodiversity pact was adopted.
资金紧张 该自然峰会将在邻国土耳其举行的年度国际气候谈判（COP31）之前几周举行，这是自生物多样性公约通过以来，各国首次对进展情况进行盘点。
Drawing on national reports and other inputs, a “global review” of collective improvements and pitfalls is being finalised.
基于各国报告和其他输入，一份关于集体进步与不足的“全球评估”正在最终完成中。7月份发布的一份草案评分卡描绘了进展的混合图景。
A draft scorecard published in July painted a mixed picture of progress. Some countries have taken strides toward the “30x30“ conservation goal (protecting 30% of Earth’s land and waters by 2030), said Campaign for Nature in a September analysis.
一些国家正朝着“30x30”保护目标迈进（即到2030年保护地球30%的陆地和水域），自然运动组织在9月的一份分析中如此表示。
But taken together, government pledges would cover only 27% of land and inland waters by the end of this decade if enacted in full.
但如果全部落实，各国政府的承诺总和只能在本十年末覆盖27%的陆地和内陆水域。至于海洋，这一比例仅为12%。
For oceans, the figure would be just 12%. Money is a major barrier to the success of the biodiversity goals and an expected source of tension at COP17.
资金是实现生物多样性目标的主要障碍，也是COP17上预期的紧张根源。
Nations are lagging behind a pledge to raise US$200 billion (S$256 billion) a year for biodiversity by 2030 from public and private sources, including US$30 billion a year in international finance for developing countries.
各国在筹集到2030年每年2000亿美元（约合2560亿新元）用于生物多样性方面进展缓慢，这笔资金应来自公共和私人来源，其中包括每年30亿美元用于发展中国家的国际融资。
Wealthy countries are under pressure to fill the gap but face their own budget challenges, making the issue politically fraught.
富裕国家面临填补这一缺口的压力，但自身也面临预算挑战，使得这一问题在政治上充满争议。美国不是生物多样性公约的缔约方，因此未参与此次谈判。
The United States, which is not a party to the biodiversity convention, is not involved in the talks. “The more time you spend talking about funding, the less you talk about objectives,” said a French government official.
“花在谈论资金上的时间越多，用于讨论目标的时间就越少，”一位法国政府官员表示。“团结一致，奋力前进”预计埃里温峰会的注意力将聚焦于私营部门如何弥补这一资金缺口。
‘Unite and fight’Attention at the Yerevan summit is expected to focus on how the private sector can make up the shortfall.
在审议中将包括Cali基金的表现平平，这是一项在2025年2月启动的联合国里程碑倡议。
Under scrutiny will be the lacklustre performance of the Cali Fund, a milestone UN initiative launched in February 2025.
该基金旨在每年从企业筹集10亿美元，用于发展中国家的自然保护，但迄今为止仅吸引了6000美元。
The fund aimed to raise US$1 billion a year from corporations for conservation in developing countries but so far has attracted just US$6,000.
“人们一直希望……这将成为一个改变游戏规则的举措。我们继续相信它绝对具有潜力，”尽管企业参与程度“比预期的要慢”，但Schomaker如是说。
“Everyone was hoping... this would be a game changer. And we continue to believe that it absolutely has the potential,” although corporate engagement had been “slower” than anticipated, said Schomaker.
补贴改革也被证明是一项障碍，朝着2030年每年减少5000亿美元自然有害激励的目标几乎没有进展。
Subsidy reform has also proved to be a roadblock, with barely any movement toward the 2030 goal of reducing nature-harmful incentives by US$500 billion a year.
根据联合国的数据，每投入1美元用于保护或恢复自然，仍有约30美元用于导致自然退化的活动。
For every dollar invested in protecting or restoring nature, about US$30 still goes into activities that degrade it, according to UN figures.
10月，超过130家企业和金融机构——包括雀巢和H&M集团——呼吁政府改革激励机制，指出每年有2.6万亿美元的公共支出“奖励了耗尽土壤、水资源和生态系统的做法”。
In October, more than 130 businesses and financial institutions – including Nestle and H&M Group – called on governments to reform incentives, citing US$2.6 trillion in annual public spending “that rewards practices depleting the soils, water and ecosystems”.
世界自然基金会国际组织的Guido Broekhoven告诉法新社，重新分配补贴必须成为“优先事项”在COP17上。
Guido Broekhoven from nature conservation organisation WWF International told AFP that repurposing subsidies must be “a matter of priority” at COP17.
“在地缘政治紧张局势给多边合作带来压力的时候，向世界展示我们的决策者仍能在保护地球生命生存的斗争中团结一致变得更加重要，”绿色和平组织的Lambrechts说道。
“At a time when geopolitical tensions are putting multilateral cooperation under pressure, it’s even more important to show the world that our decision-makers can still be united in the fight for the survival of life on Earth,” Greenpeace’s Lambrechts said.
