穆罕默德·萨贝尔和他的家人依赖一套太阳能套件获取电力，为他们在孟加拉国罗兴亚难民营的竹棚和防水布小屋供电，他们称之为家。
Mohammed Saber and his family rely on a solar kit for electricity at the bamboo-and-tarpaulin shack they call home at a camp for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
维多利亚·米尔科 伊斯兰堡 — — 每天，穆罕默德·萨贝尔都会把一块单一的长方形太阳能板放在他和家人多年来称之为家的竹棚和防水布小屋屋顶上，这是他们在2017年逃离缅甸军队对罗兴亚人的残酷镇压后旅程的最后一站。
VICTORIA MILKO ISLAMABAD — Every day, Mohammed Saber places a single rectangular solar panel on the roof of the bamboo-and-tarpaulin shack that he and his family have called home for years, the last stop on their journey after fleeing the Myanmar military’s brutal crackdown on the Rohingya in 2017.
该太阳能板是六年前作为人道主义援助发放给这个罗兴亚难民家庭的便携式太阳能套件的一部分。它一直是这个家庭的主要电力来源，使他们在孟加拉国泰克纳夫流离失所者营地的日常生活变得轻松许多。
The panel is part of a portable solar kit given to the Rohingya refugee family as humanitarian aid six years ago. It’s been the family’s primary source of electricity, making daily life so much easier in the camp for the displaced in Teknaf, Bangladesh.
“我们现在可以给手机充电，在灯光下做饭，孩子们可以在晚上学习，在炎热的季节使用风扇，”35岁的萨贝尔说。
“We can now charge our phones, cook with light, children can study at night and use fans during the hot season,” said Saber, 35.
从尼泊尔的洪水区到非洲的难民营，专家表示，随着技术进步、成本下降以及人道主义组织认识到获得电力是一项基本需求，太阳能正日益成为灾难救援的一部分。
From the flood zones of Nepal to refugee camps in Africa, experts say that solar energy is increasingly becoming part of disaster relief as technology improves, costs fall and humanitarian organizations recognize that having access to electricity is a fundamental need.
他们说，随着气候变化推动和加剧极端天气，而战争、制裁和政治动荡使化石燃料价格保持波动，可再生能源解决方案比以往任何时候都更加必要。太阳能套件便携、可充电且独立于电网。当灾难发生、人道主义需求激增时，太阳能套件可以成为宝贵资源，斯德哥尔摩环境研究所的研究员莎拉·罗森伯格-詹森表示，该所是专注于可持续发展的独立研究和政策机构。
Renewable energy solutions are needed more than ever, they say, as climate change drives and intensifies extreme weather while wars, sanctions and political upheavals keep fossil fuel prices volatile Solar energy kits are portable, rechargeable and grid-independent When disasters strike and humanitarian needs surge, solar kits can become an invaluable resource, says Sarah Rosenberg-Jansen, a research fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute, an independent research and policy institute specializing in sustainable development.
根据罗森伯格-詹森的说法，这些太阳能套件 — — 是一体化、紧凑的单元，使用太阳能板且不依赖公用事业公司 — — 易于移动和充电。
These solar kits — all-in-one, compact units that use solar panels and are not reliant on utility companies — are easy to move and recharge, according to Rosenberg-Jansen.
“在紧急情况下，太阳能套件可以立即部署，”她说，并补充道，它们在洪水快速上涨、冲突前线变化或道路受损导致出行困难的地区移动时特别有用。
“In emergency situations, solar kits can be deployed immediately,” she said, adding that they are particularly useful in situations with rapidly rising floodwaters, changing front lines in a conflict, or for moving around in areas where damaged roads make it difficult to travel.
就功能而言，这些套件可以是“从太阳能灯笼到太阳能家庭系统、太阳能手电筒、太阳能加热垫，再到使用太阳能作为能源的电炊具，”她说。
In terms of function, the kits can be “anything from solar lanterns to solar home systems, solar torches, solar heating pads, to electric cook stoves that use solar as their energy source,” she said.
太阳能成本的降低有助于其在灾难救援中的作用。罗森伯格-詹森还指出，太阳能板不像化石燃料那样容易受到价格冲击，而化石燃料运输到灾区既困难又昂贵。
Lower costs of solar energy helped its role in disaster relief Rosenberg-Jansen also pointed out that solar panels are not prone to price shocks like fossil fuels which can be difficult and costly to transport to a disaster zone.
她补充说，仅几十年前，太阳能还是一种奢侈品，但随着技术的发展，人们的观念和价格标签发生了变化。如今，由于大规模制造的扩大和技术进步，太阳能变得更加实惠。
Only a few decades ago, solar energy was a luxury, she added, but as technology evolved, mindsets and the price tag changed. Now it’s more affordable, thanks to the scaling up of mass manufacturing and technology advancement.
尤里·博伊奇科说，使用也变得更加简便。博伊奇科是总部位于美国的非营利组织“希望乌克兰”的首席执行官，该组织向生活在战乱乌克兰的家庭提供太阳能套件。“我们有75到80岁左右的祖父母……在领取套件，”博伊奇科说。“这只是插上电源然后使用的问题。”太阳能板如今变得越来越普遍。
It’s also so much easier to use, said Yuriy Boyechko, CEO of Hope For Ukraine, a nonprofit based in the United States that provides solar kits to families living in war-torn Ukraine“We have grandmas and grandpas who are around 75-80 years old ... receiving kits,” said Boyechko. “It’s just a matter of plug (in) and play.”Solar panels are becoming more common now.
在巴基斯坦经济中心卡拉奇的郊区，无国界医生组织运营的一家结核病诊所正在使用太阳能。在南苏丹伦克县，联合国移民署为因邻国苏丹战争而流离失所的家庭安装了太阳能供水过滤系统。
On the outskirts of Karachi, Pakistan’s economic hub, a tuberculosis clinic run by Doctors Without Borders uses solar energy. In South Sudan’s Renk county, the U.N. migration agency installed solar-powered water filtration systems for families displaced by the war in neighboring Sudan.
而在尼泊尔8月发生的特大洪水中，有1455人遇难，5285人失踪——其中包括数百名外国人——当地和国际组织，包括总部位于澳大利亚的慈善机构SolarBuddy，分发了太阳能套件。
And after Nepal’s massive floods in August that killed 1,455 people and left 5,285 missing — including hundreds of foreign nationals — solar kits were distributed by local and international organizations, including Australia-based charity SolarBuddy.
资金问题和官僚主义仍是灾害救援的障碍。致力于推广负担得起、可靠且清洁的能源获取的“全球行动平台”（Global Platform for Action，简称GPA）的马克·吉布森表示，整合太阳能并非一帆风顺。
Funding issues and bureaucracy are still an obstacle in disaster relief Mark Gibson from Global Platform for Action, or GPA, which promotes affordable, reliable and clean energy access, said that integrating solar energy hasn’t come without difficulties.
援助机构已建立经过时间考验的体系，这些体系通常将柴油发电机作为长期租赁和协议的一部分。转向太阳能意味着必须信任新体系并建立新的分销链，有时还要在高风险环境中操作。
Aid agencies have had time-tested systems in place, which often include diesel generators as part of long-term leases and agreements. Switching to solar means having to trust new systems and setting up new distribution chains, sometimes in risky environments.
GPA项目负责人艾米·詹克斯表示，国际捐助方资金的近期大幅削减也动摇了——甚至完全抹去了——刚开始扎根的新做法。
Recent slashes in international donor funding have also undermined — or completely erased — new practices that were starting to take root, said Aimee Jenks, a program leader at GPA.
她说：“人道主义领域在能源方面的大量技术专长已被削减。”“这正在让许多进展倒退。”虽然太阳能成本已下降，但对许多人来说仍然高不可攀。
“Much of the technical expertise in the humanitarian sector on energy has been cut,” she said. “That’s now retracting a lot of progress.”And while the cost of solar energy has decreased, it’s still prohibitive for many.
“希望乌克兰”组织的博耶奇科表示，到2026年底，其非营利组织将分发超过3200套工具包。
Boyechko, of Hope For Ukraine, said that by the end of 2026, his nonprofit will have distributed over 3,200 kits.
他说：“但由于资金需求，我们花了两年才达到这个数字。我们有约2万个家庭在等待名单上。我们根本无法满足需求。”
“But it took us two years to get to that number, because of funding needs,” he said. ”We have a waiting list of about 20,000 families. We just cannot keep up with demand.”While no energy source is perfect, the move towards renewable energies is likely to decrease reliance on polluting fossil fuels.
虽然没有完美的能源，但向可再生能源转型有望减少对污染性化石燃料的依赖。
For Saber, whose family is among more than 1 million refugees from Myanmar’s Rohingya ethnic and religious minority now living in Bangladesh, the kit means keeping the lights on.
对于萨贝尔一家而言，他们是目前生活在孟加拉国的100多万缅甸罗兴亚族难民之一，这套工具包意味着能保持灯火通明。他说：“这改善了我家人的生活。”
“It’s improved my family’s life,” he said.
