联合国秘书长古特雷斯周三在土耳其南部沿海城市安塔利亚举行的第31届联合国气候变化大会(COP31)高级别边会上,敦促在气候保护、减少废弃物和采用清洁能源方面加快行动。
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged faster action on climate protection, waste reduction and clean energy adoption Wednesday during high-level side events at the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, a coastal city in southern Türkiye.
古特雷斯对与会代表表示:“气候危机正在加速。我们对人民的保护必须随之加速。”他警告说,气温上升和对化石燃料的依赖仍在夺走生命并给经济造成压力。
"The climate crisis is accelerating. Our protection of people must accelerate with it," Guterres told delegates, warning that rising temperatures and reliance on fossil fuels continue to claim lives and strain economies.
为所有人提供早期预警 在一场关于灾害防范的活动中,古特雷斯重申了他的目标,即到2027年底让地球上的每一个人都受到早期预警系统的覆盖。
Early warnings for all At an event on disaster preparedness, Guterres reiterated his goal of covering every person on Earth with an early warning system by the end of 2027.
古特雷斯表示,自2022年以来,捐助方已调动20亿美元资金,协助约160个国家,但大约三分之一的国家仍缺乏防护,差距最大的是发展中国家、受冲突影响国家和小岛屿国家。
While donors have mobilized $2 billion since 2022 to assist around 160 nations, roughly one in three countries still lacks protection, with the widest gaps in developing, conflict-affected and small island states, Guterres said.
他强调了一个惊人的差距:一些欧洲国家运行的符合全球标准的气象站数量,超过了整个非洲大陆。他补充说,完善的系统可将灾害相关死亡率降低近六倍。
Highlighting the striking disparity in the fact that some European countries operate more weather stations that meet global standards than the entire African continent, he added that comprehensive systems reduce disaster-related mortality rates nearly sixfold.
古特雷斯说:“我们无法预警我们看不见的事物。”他敦促各国政府将预警纳入国家预算,并在预测和传播链条上扩大负担得起的融资。
"We cannot warn people about what we cannot see," Guterres said, urging governments to integrate warnings into national budgets and expand affordable financing across the forecasting and communication chain.
零废弃与减排甲烷 在一场关于循环经济的领导人圆桌会议上,古特雷斯赞扬了土耳其和第一夫人埃米内·埃尔多安主办零废弃峰会。
Zero waste and methane cuts Addressing a leaders' roundtable on circularity, Guterres commended Türkiye and first lady Emine Erdogan for hosting a zero-waste summit.
他警告说,人类每年产生超过20亿吨城市垃圾,每天丢弃的食物相当于10亿餐,同时敦促各国到2030年将食物浪费减半。
He warned that humanity generates more than 2 billion tons of municipal waste annually and discards food equal to 1 billion meals daily, while urging countries to halve food waste by 2030.
古特雷斯指出,废弃物也导致全球变暖,并强调了甲烷在这一过程中的作用。
Guterres pointed out that waste also contributes to global warming and emphasized the role that methane plays in this process.
他指出,甲烷导致了当前全球变暖的近三分之一,但自2023年以来,联合国环境规划署(UNEP,协调联合国环境工作的机构)发布的5000多份泄漏警报中,仅约八分之一得到了回应。
He noted that methane drives nearly one-third of current global warming, yet barely one in eight of the more than 5,000 leak alerts issued since 2023 by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the agency coordinating UN environmental work, received a response.
“自愿行动已不再足够,”古特雷斯主张,指示联合国环境规划署制定基于科学的全球石油天然气近零甲烷排放基准,并要求各国政府强制执行规则、创设激励措施,以“预防、回收并负责任地管理废弃物”。
"Voluntary action is no longer enough," Guterres argued, instructing UNEP to establish a science-based global near-zero methane benchmark for oil and gas and asking governments to enforce rules and create incentives to "prevent, recover and responsibly manage waste."
清洁能源转型 在电气化对话会上发言时,古特雷斯欢迎“2035年电力占比35%全球电气化承诺”,该承诺旨在到2035年将电力在能源消费中的占比提高至35%,同时警告中东局势紧张暴露了化石燃料进口的经济脆弱性。
Clean energy transition Speaking at an electrification dialogue, Guterres welcomed the 35-by-35 Global Electrification Pledge to raise electricity's share of energy consumption to 35% by 2035 while warning that Middle East tensions expose the economic vulnerabilities of fossil fuel imports.
古特雷斯指出,约3000吉瓦的可再生能源和储能项目因等待并网而停滞,反映出排队项目在一年内扩大了60%。
Around 3,000 gigawatts of renewable and storage projects remain stalled awaiting grid connections, reflecting a queue that expanded 60% in one year, Guterres noted.
他说,中国以外的发展中经济体仅获得约五分之一的清洁能源投资,却面临比发达国家高两到三倍的借贷成本。
He said developing economies outside China receive only about one dollar in five invested in clean energy while facing borrowing costs two to three times higher than those in advanced nations.
“我们可以建设一个清洁能源独立的未来,也可以锁定再一代化石燃料依赖,”他说,敦促多边开发银行股东扩大优惠融资。
"We can build a future of clean energy independence or lock in another generation of fossil fuel dependence," he said, urging multilateral development bank shareholders to expand concessional financing.
土耳其将在南部度假城市安塔利亚主办第31届联合国气候变化大会(COP31)。
