澳大利亚气候变化与能源部长克里斯·鲍文周三敦促以“妥协”应对气候变化这一“紧迫的共同威胁”,并鼓励各国以“紧迫感、团结和决心”采取行动。鲍文在土耳其南部城市安塔利亚举行的COP31联合国气候变化大会上对世界各国领导人说:“对每一个缔约方而言,我们都必须准备好去工作、去倾听、去妥协。我们齐聚于此,以集体的决心和目标,共同抗击这一紧迫的共同威胁——气候变化。”
Australian Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen on Wednesday urged "compromise" to address the "urgent common threat" of climate change, encouraging countries to act with "urgency, solidarity and resolve." "To every party, we must be ready to work, listen and compromise. We are here together to fight this urgent common threat, climate change, with collective resolve and purpose," Bowen told world leaders at the COP31 UN Climate Change Conference in the southern Turkish city of Antalya.
他警告说,每一分之一的升温幅度都关系到人们的生活、社区和经济稳定,并援引预测称,全球升温将超过1.5摄氏度(2.7华氏度)的阈值。
He warned that every fraction of a degree matters for people's lives, communities and economic stability, citing projections that the world will overshoot the 1.5C (2.7F) global warming threshold.
他说:“在一个断裂的时代,澳大利亚认为COP比以往任何时候都更加重要。”他重申堪培拉对国际合作和《巴黎协定》的承诺。
"In a time of rupture, Australia regards the COP as more important than ever," he said, reaffirming Canberra's commitment to international cooperation and the Paris Agreement.
鲍文表示,澳大利亚与土耳其的伙伴关系连接了地中海与太平洋,而两国作为全球气候进程守护者的责任则遍及全世界。土耳其是COP31的主办国,澳大利亚是谈判主席。
Bowen said Australia's partnership with Türkiye connects the Mediterranean and the Pacific, while their responsibility as custodians of the global climate process extends worldwide. Türkiye is hosting COP31, and Australia is president of the negotiations.
他敦促使用更加多元的能源来源,减少对脆弱供应链的依赖,以改善能源安全。
He urged more diverse energy sources and reduced dependence on fragile supply chains to improve energy security.
他概述了COP31的优先事项,包括加快全球电气化、加强气候适应和韧性,以及使气候融资更快、更简单、更公平。
He outlined COP31 priorities, including accelerating global electrification, strengthening climate adaptation and resilience, and making climate finance faster, simpler and fairer.
鲍文表示,澳大利亚和土耳其与土耳其气候变化部长穆拉特·库鲁姆一道,在与参与国磋商后,同意按照“缔约方驱动、主席国主导”的方式,推进一项由主席国主导的决定。
Together with Turkish Climate Change Minister Murat Kurum, Bowen said Australia and Türkiye agreed, following consultations with participating countries, to advance a presidency-led decision under the "party-driven, presidency-led" approach.
他说:“它将提出切实可行的解决方案,并发出明确信息:我们正在加速前进,而不是后退。”
"It will bring forward practical solutions and send a clear message: we are accelerating and not stepping back," he said.
他说:“成功意味着在完整的谈判议程上取得进展。”他敦促各国政府采取行动,表明它们在应对气候变化方面的承诺没有动摇。
"Success means progress across a full negotiating agenda," he said, urging governments to act and demonstrate that they are not wavering in their commitment to tackle climate change.
