欧洲投资银行周四表示,计划在十年内至少投资300亿欧元(约合336亿美元)用于帮助各国应对气候变化的影响。
The European Investment Bank on Thursday said it planned to invest at least €30 billion ($33.6 billion) before the end of the decade on projects to help adapt to the impact of climate change.
这一新目标是其此前五年投资计划金额的两倍,旨在应对即将于11月9日在土耳其举行的COP31气候谈判。
The new target, double the one in its previous five-year investment plan, comes ahead of the COP31 climate talks in Turkey, beginning on November 9.
新计划将重点支持欧洲在能源网络、水系统和农业等领域应对热浪、干旱、野火和洪水等气候问题的能力提升,提供资金、担保和咨询服务。
The new plan aims to help Europe adapt to heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and floods in areas including energy networks, water systems and agriculture. It includes financing, guarantees and advisory support.
此外,该银行还将加大对气候脆弱国家(尤其是小岛屿发展中国家和最不发达国家)的支持和技术援助,推动水资源管理、海岸保护、早期预警系统、韧性交通和灾害风险管理等领域的项目发展。
It will help scale European climate tech in areas including cooling systems and the energy and water sectors. It steps up support and technical assistance for climate-vulnerable nations, particularly small island developing states and least-developed countries.
欧洲投资银行集团总裁纳迪娅·卡尔维诺表示,每投入1欧元用于气候变化预防和适应措施,就能节省10欧元的损失和修复费用。
It will help develop projects in water management, coastal protection, early-warning systems, resilient transport and disaster-risk management. EIB Group President Nadia Calviño said every euro invested in prevention and adaptation to climate change saves 10 euros in damages and repairs.
