英国首相安迪·伯恩罕（Andy Burnham）在土耳其安塔利亚举行的《联合国气候变化框架公约》第三十一届缔约方大会（COP31）上表示，“气候是一个国家安全问题”。此前，英国和西欧经历了创纪录的高温、野火以及大量超额死亡人数。N专家和绿色和平组织对这一举动表示欢迎，但警告称，伯恩罕批准北海天然气钻探可能会削弱其气候信息传达以及未来的信誉。
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said “Climate is a national security issue” at COP31 in Antalya, after Britain and western Europe had record heat, wildfires and many excess deaths. Experts and Greenpeace welcomed the move, but warned Burnham’s approval of North Sea gas drilling could weaken his climate message and future credibility.
人工智能生成土耳其安塔利亚电——英国首相安迪·伯恩罕于11月12日宣布任命一名专注于“气候安全”的特使，这是全球首创，旨在更好地应对全球变暖带来的日益严重的冲击。
AI generated ANTALYA, Turkey – British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced on Nov 12 the appointment of a special envoy focused on “climate security”, a world first, to better prepare for the growing impacts of global warming.
在土耳其安塔利亚举行的联合国COP31气候峰会上，这位工党领导人发表讲话时回忆说，他在2026年夏天上任首相的前三周里，一直在应对英国有史以来最严重的野火。
In a speech to the UN’s COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, the Labour leader recalled that he spent his first three weeks as prime minister in the summer of 2026 responding to the worst wildfires Britain ever experienced.
“我当时就决定，出席此次峰会非常重要，以便在一个气候问题被过分边缘化的世界里展现英国的领导力，”伯恩罕说道。他是出席此次峰会的唯一七国集团领导人。
“I decided then it was important for me to be here to show British leadership in a world where climate issues have taken too much of a backseat,” said Burnham, who was the only Group of Seven leader attending the summit.
英国和西欧其他地区经历了有记录以来最热的夏天，一连串的热浪和野火袭来。持续的高温导致该地区出现了数万起超额死亡。“气候是一个国家安全问题，”伯恩罕说。
Britain and the rest of western Europe experienced their hottest summer on record, with a succession of heatwaves and wildfires. The heat caused tens of thousands of excess deaths on the continent. “Climate is a national security issue,” Burnham said.
“作为这一论断的证明，我今天宣布任命玛德琳·阿莱桑德里女爵士为英国首位气候安全特别代表，”他说。
“As evidence of that, I am today announcing the appointment of Dame Madeleine Alessandri as the first UK special representative for climate security,” he said.
向内阁通报安全威胁的机构——英国联合情报委员会前负责人阿莱桑德里将担任此职。
Alessandri is the former head of the UK’s Joint Intelligence Committee, the body that briefs ministers on security threats.
阿莱桑德里在一份声明中说：“在这个职位上，我将与政府各部门及国际伙伴合作，加强我们对气候威胁的理解，构建韧性，并确保我们为未来的挑战做好更充分的准备。”
“In this role, I will work with partners across government and internationally to strengthen our understanding of climate threats, build resilience, and ensure we are better prepared for the challenges ahead,” Alessandri said in a statement.

气候智库E3G专家科西玛·卡塞尔（Cosima Cassel）表示，各国通常设有气候特使，且气候安全是其职责的一部分。她对法新社表示：“这是专门设立的首位气候安全特使。”
Cosima Cassel, an expert at climate think-tank E3G, said countries often have climate envoys and climate security is part of their remit. “This is the first climate security envoy specifically,” she told AFP.
卡塞尔说：“这一任命将该议题提升到了应有的高度，其他政府也应该考虑类似的模式。”
“This appointment elevates that issue to the level it deserves, and other governments should consider a similar model,” Cassel said.
环保组织绿色和平组织也表示，此项任命是一个“受欢迎的举动”，因为气候变化是“威胁乘数”。
Environmental group Greenpeace also said the appointment was a “welcome move” as climate change is a “threat multiplier”.
不过，绿色和平组织批评了伯恩罕最近批准在北海开采气田的决定。
Greenpeace, however, criticised Burnham for his recent decision to authorise drilling a gas field in the North Sea.
英国绿色和平组织政治负责人艾米·麦卡锡（Ami McCarthy）对法新社说：“他在未来几周和几个月内做出的选择，将决定他今天的演讲是否仅仅是空谈。”
“The choices he makes over the coming weeks and months will decide if his speech today was more than hot air,” Ami McCarthy, head of politics at Greenpeace UK, told AFP.
