巴巴多斯总理米娅·阿莫尔·莫特利周三警告说,世界未能兑现其气候承诺,并在土耳其安塔利亚举行的COP31联合国气候大会上敦促各国政府加大行动力度,将全球变暖限制在1.5摄氏度(2.7华氏度)以内。
Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley warned on Wednesday that the world is falling short of its climate commitments, urging governments to step up action to limit global warming to 1.5C (2.7F) at the COP31 UN climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye.
莫特利表示,世界未能采取足够行动使1.5摄氏度目标仍有希望实现,并警告说子孙后代将承受持续拖延的后果。
Mottley said the world failed to do enough to keep the 1.5C target within reach, warning that future generations would feel the consequences of continued delays.
“让我直说:超调不是一个新的目标。它是一笔债,一笔以我们孩子的未来为抵押借来的高温之债,必须偿还,”她说。
"Let me be plain: overshoot is not a new target. It is a debt, a debt of heat borrowed against our children's future, and it must be repaid," she said.
莫特利强调,每零点几度都很重要,并警告说持续拖延将威胁珊瑚礁、粮食生产、社区和生计。
Mottley stressed that every fraction of a degree matters, warning that continued delays would threaten coral reefs, food production, communities and livelihoods.
她提到尼泊尔发生的毁灭性洪水,8月造成1400多人死亡,以及影响牙买加、加利福尼亚和欧洲的与气候相关的灾害。
She pointed to devastating floods in Nepal, which killed more than 1,400 people in August, as well as climate-related disasters affecting Jamaica, California and Europe.
谈到加沙地带的人道主义局势时,她说洪水和人道主义危机叠加在一起,给儿童造成了“真正的人间地狱”,并说“气候不会与地缘政治谈判”。这位巴巴多斯领导人敦促增加气候融资、为脆弱国家减免债务,并加大对清洁能源的投资。
Referring to the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, she said floods and humanitarian crises combined to create "a veritable hell on earth" for children, and that "the climate does not negotiate with geopolitics." The Barbadian leader urged increased climate financing, debt relief for vulnerable countries and greater investment in clean energy.
她还敦促COP31争取就削减甲烷排放作出可衡量的承诺,称到2030年削减近一半的甲烷排放,到2040年代可避免近0.3摄氏度的升温,并每年挽救25万人的生命。
She also urged COP31 to secure measurable commitments to cut methane emissions, saying a reduction of nearly half by 2030 could prevent almost 0.3C of warming by the 2040s and save 250,000 lives annually.
莫特利呼吁发起一场15亿人发声的全球运动,以保住1.5摄氏度目标,并鼓励公民追究政府和金融机构的责任。“我们需要在明年举行COP32之前做到这一点,”她说。
Urging a global movement of 1.5 billion voices to keep the 1.5C goal alive, Mottley encouraged citizens to hold governments and financial institutions accountable. "We need to do this before we meet at COP32 next year," she said.
莫特利还感谢土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安和土耳其人民主办此次峰会的热情款待。
Mottley also thanked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the people of Türkiye for their hospitality in hosting the summit.
