土耳其安塔利亚,11月11日电 —— 世界领导人将于周三在土耳其举行的第31届联合国气候变化大会(COP31)上发表演讲,阐述各自的气候优先事项,与此同时,谈判代表正寻求就一项计划达成一致,旨在提高电力在全球能源消费中的占比,并重振停滞不前的摆脱化石燃料努力。
ANTALYA, Turkey, Nov 11 - World leaders will set out their climate priorities in speeches at COP31 in Turkey on Wednesday, as negotiators seek agreement on a plan to increase the share of electricity in global energy use and revive stalled efforts to move away from fossil fuels.
来自近200个国家的代表正在地中海滨海度假城市安塔利亚会晤。全球温室气体排放几无下降迹象,而战争、通胀及其他危机正分散着政治关注。
Delegates from nearly 200 countries are meeting in the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya as global greenhouse gas emissions show little sign of falling and wars, inflation and other crises compete for political attention.
联合国上月发布的一份报告显示,世界正朝着突破1.5摄氏度(2.7华氏度)升温限值的方向发展,各国曾根据《巴黎协定》承诺努力将升温控制在此限值以内,以防止气候变化最严重的后果。
A UN report last month found the world on course to break through the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warming limit that countries had agreed to pursue under the Paris Agreement to prevent the worst of climate change.
曾主持2015年巴黎气候大会、现任前任缔约方大会主席顾问委员会主席的法国前总理洛朗·法比尤斯表示,领导人的演讲可为谈判提供政治动力。
Former French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius, who presided over the 2015 Paris climate conference and leads an advisory council of former COP presidents, said the speeches could give political impetus to the negotiations.
他对路透社表示:“这是领导人发布一些声明的机会,而且这次声明会更多,用以解释他们将如何落实,因为安塔利亚的关键词是落实。”
"It is an opportunity for leaders to make some announcements, and more this time, to explain how they will implement, because the key word in Antalya is implementation," he told Reuters.
根据COP31日程,数十位世界领导人——包括总统和政府首脑——将于周三下午开始密集演讲,并持续至周四全天。
Scores of world leaders – including presidents and heads of government – will begin their rapid-fire speeches on Wednesday afternoon and continue through the day on Thursday, according to the COP31 schedule.
周三的演讲者预计将包括巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦,他于10月底连任,其国去年主办了气候谈判。
Wednesday’s speakers are expected to include Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who was re-elected at the end of October, and whose country hosted last year’s climate talks.
欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩、中国国家副主席韩正、马绍尔群岛总统希尔达·海涅也将于周三发言。
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, and Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine will also speak on Wednesday.
作为全球历史累计排放量最大的国家,美国连续第二年缺席会谈。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普——曾称全球变暖是骗局——在2025年重返白宫后,宣布美国退出气候合作。电力时代?
The United States, the world’s largest historical emitter, has skipped the talks for the second year in a row after President Donald Trump – who has called global warming a hoax – withdrew the US from climate cooperation following his return to office in 2025. AGE OF ELECTRICITY?
作为第31届联合国气候变化大会(COP31)东道主的土耳其,目前正推动与会政府代表将电气化目标置于最终协议的核心位置,尽管批评人士认为这可能对遏制变暖作用甚微。
COP31 host Turkey has so far been pushing the government representatives attending the conference to put a goal on electrification at the centre of a final deal, even as critics say it may do little to curb warming.
该提案旨在到2035年将电力在全球总能源消费中的占比提高至35%,高于目前略超五分之一的水平,理论上可减少汽车、工厂和建筑产生的温室气体排放。
The proposal targets a rise in electricity’s share of total global energy consumption to 35% by 2035, up from a little over a fifth now, theoretically reducing greenhouse gas emissions from cars, factories, and buildings.
但该提案未包含要求新增电力必须由清洁能源发电的措辞,世界各国政府也尚未明确更广泛的摆脱煤炭、石油和天然气等化石燃料的过渡计划。
But the proposal does not include language requiring new power to be generated by clean energy sources, and world governments have yet to clarify a broader plan to transition away from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
联合国秘书长古特雷斯周二在会议上表示:“是早就该停止把摆脱化石燃料的过渡视为禁忌或棘手难题的时候了。”他敦促各国制定明确的过渡时间表。
"It is long past time to stop treating the transition away from fossil fuels as taboo or intractable," United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the conference on Tuesday, urging countries to produce clear timelines for the transition.
上一届在巴西举行的COP未能就全球减少对化石燃料依赖计划的必要性达成共识。
The previous COP in Brazil was unable to reach consensus on the need for a global plan to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
不过,巴西COP主席国近几周发布了一份路线图,旨在让这一理念始终处于气候谈判的核心位置。该路线图要求各国先于2028年前规划并评估其能源体系,随后从2031年起共同削减化石燃料供应。
The Brazilian COP presidency has in recent weeks, however, published a roadmap aimed at keeping that idea central to the climate negotiations. It asks countries to first plan and assess their energy systems by 2028, then work together to reduce fossil fuel supply from 2031.
