欧盟将提出新规,要求成员国制定气候韧性计划,以应对到本世纪末全球平均气温较工业化前水平上升3°C的情况。
The European Union will propose new rules obliging member states to put climate resilience plans in place to deal with average global temperatures rising 3C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century.
据彭博新闻社看到的一份文件草案,由于气候变化,欧洲是升温最快的大陆,到2100年平均气温可能上升多达5°C。欧盟27个成员国将被要求在2030年底前提交各国如何适应气候变化的计划,而欧盟的执行机构欧盟委员会将识别重大风险,包括可能出现的气候临界点。
Europe is the fastest warming continent due to climate change and could see average temperatures rise up to 5C by 2100, according to a draft document seen by Bloomberg News. The EU’s 27 member states will be required to come forward with national plans for how they will adapt by end-2030, while the European Commission, the bloc’s executive branch, will identify major risks, including possible climate tipping points.
草案称,气候变化“正日益威胁欧洲的社会和领土凝聚力”,“气候韧性正变得越来越重要”。该草案在本周通过前仍可能修改。欧盟委员会的一位发言人未回应置评请求。
Climate change “is threatening to increasingly undermine Europe’s social and territorial cohesion,” said the draft, which is still subject to change ahead of its adoption this week. “Climate resilience is becoming increasingly relevant.”A spokesperson from the European Commission didn’t respond to a request for comment.
该提案提出之际,距离在土耳其举行的COP31气候峰会还有两周。目前全球气温几乎确定将超过2015年《巴黎协定》设想的1.5°C阈值,而欧洲在今年夏季连续遭遇热浪、导致野火激增之后,面临尤其大的适应压力。
The proposal comes two weeks ahead of the COP31 climate summit in Turkey. Global temperatures are now almost certain to overshoot the 1.5C threshold envisaged by the Paris Agreement in 2015, and Europe faces particular pressure to adapt after suffering successive heat waves this summer which contributed to a surge in wildfires.
欧盟及各成员国将评估气候变化将如何影响经济和环境的各个领域,包括能源、水和通信系统,以及政府预算。
The EU and member states will assess how climate change will affect various sectors of the economy and environment, including energy, water and communication systems, as well as government budgets.
