欧盟承诺将在土耳其举行的第31届联合国气候变化大会（Cop31）上捍卫科学研究，指责一些国家试图削弱全球变暖问题上世界领先权威机构的地位，此前围绕关键气候报告的发布问题争端日益加剧。
The European Union has pledged to defend scientific research at the Cop31 climate summit in Turkey, accusing some countries of attempting to undermine the world's leading authority on global warming amid a growing dispute over the publication of crucial climate reports.
分歧的核心在于政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）下一轮重大评估报告的发布时间表，该机构的调查结果有助于塑造应对全球变暖的国际行动。
The disagreement centres on the timetable for the next major assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), whose findings help shape international efforts to tackle global warming.
布鲁塞尔和数十个其他国家希望报告能及时发布，以便赶上2028年对全球气候行动的重大评估，而沙特阿拉伯、中国和印度等国则主张将发布时间推迟至2029年。
Brussels and dozens of other countries want the reports published in time for a major review of global climate action in 2028, while Saudi Arabia, China and India are among those pushing to delay their release until 2029.
随着安塔利亚谈判进入中盘阶段，这一争端恐将增加联合国峰会达成协议的难度。
With negotiations in Antalya approaching their halfway point, the dispute threatens to complicate efforts to reach an agreement at the UN summit.
欧盟高级气候官员迪亚娜·阿孔恰周五对记者表示：“我们将为这一结果而战”，并承认弥合分歧“不会那么容易”。
"We will fight for this outcome to be there," senior EU climate official Diana Acconcia told reporters on Friday, acknowledging that bridging the differences would "not be so easy".
她说：“有些缔约方试图削弱科学向我们传达的信息，因为它们不想采取应对气候变化所需的行动。”她补充道：“就这么简单”，并形容这场辩论日益两极分化。世界领导人在Cop31气候大会上开始会谈，但大腕缺席科学证据分歧的核心是IPCC的第七次评估报告，这是大约每七年发布一系列综合科学评估报告的一部分。
"There are some parties that are trying to undermine what science is telling us because they don't want to do what it takes to address climate change," she said. "It is as simple as that," she added, describing the debate as increasingly polarised. World leaders begin talks at Cop31 climate conference but big names missing Scientific evidence At the heart of the disagreement is the IPCC's seventh assessment report, part of a series of comprehensive scientific evaluations published roughly every seven years.
这些报告汇集了关于气温上升、温室气体排放及气候变化后果的最新研究，为各国政府制定政策提供科学依据。
These reports bring together the latest research on rising temperatures, greenhouse gas emissions and the consequences of climate change, providing governments with a scientific foundation for their policies.
欧盟希望最新调查结果能在2028年全球盘点之前公布——全球盘点是《巴黎协定》下的一项关键评估，用于衡量国际社会为实现气候目标所取得的集体进展。
The EU wants the latest findings available ahead of the 2028 global stocktake – a key assessment under the Paris Agreement that measures collective progress towards international climate goals.
欧洲谈判代表认为，使用最新的科学证据对于评估各国是否采取足够行动限制全球变暖至关重要。
European negotiators argue that using the most recent scientific evidence will be essential to assessing whether countries are doing enough to limit global warming.
曾参与IPCC以往评估的埃克塞特大学气候科学家皮埃尔·弗里德林斯坦支持这一立场。
Pierre Friedlingstein, a climate scientist at the University of Exeter who has contributed to previous IPCC assessments, backed that position.
“政策决策始终应基于最新的科学依据，”他在安塔利亚对记者表示。
"It is always best for policy decisions to be based on the most up-to-date science," he told reporters in Antalya.
“更新后的数据比七年前的数据更为适用。”他补充说，新证据有助于加快政治决策，尽管这可能不适合那些不愿强化气候承诺的政府。
"Updated figures are more appropriate than figures that are seven years old." He added that fresh evidence could help accelerate political decisions, although this might not suit governments reluctant to strengthen their climate commitments.
Cop31的多位谈判代表表示，一些国家担心更新后的评估可能会凸显现有气候政策与为达成国际目标所需措施之间不断扩大的差距。
Several negotiators at Cop31 suggested that some countries were concerned that updated assessments could highlight the widening gap between existing climate policies and the measures needed to meet international targets.
太平洋岛国等待气候巨额资金，化石燃料分歧笼罩Cop31十二月会议 这一争端已在IPCC内部引发困难。
Pacific nations await climate billions, as fossil fuel divide looms over Cop31 December meeting The dispute has already caused difficulties within the IPCC itself.
该组织10月最近一次会议未能就发布时间表达成一致，迫使讨论暂停至12月1日。
Its most recent meeting in October failed to produce an agreement on the publication timetable, forcing discussions to be suspended until 1 December.
IPCC主席吉姆·斯凯亚在Cop31开幕时警告，僵局正造成运作困难，并威胁该组织声誉。
IPCC chairman Jim Skea warned at the opening of Cop31 that the impasse was creating operational difficulties and threatening the organisation's reputation.
他敦促各国政府在安塔利亚峰会期间发挥影响力，帮助谈判恢复时达成协议。
He urged governments to use their influence during the Antalya summit to help secure an agreement when talks resume.
IPCC依赖科学家志愿投入时间编写评估报告，这使得发布时间表的长期不确定性尤具挑战性。
The IPCC relies on scientists who volunteer their time to produce its assessments, making prolonged uncertainty over publication schedules particularly challenging.
支持推迟的国家认为，发展中国家需要足够时间审查和消化数千页复杂的科学结论，然后再将其用于国际谈判。然而，并非所有发展中国家都认同这一立场。
Countries supporting a delay argue that developing nations need sufficient time to examine and absorb the thousands of pages of complex scientific findings before they are used in international negotiations. However, that position is not shared by all developing countries.
小岛屿国家联盟和最不发达国家集团（Aosis）——代表70多个特别易受气候变化影响的国家——已经支持2028年发布。
The Alliance of Small Island States and the Least Developed Countries (Aosis) group – representing more than 70 nations particularly vulnerable to climate change – have already backed publication in 2028.
他们的支持加强了欧盟的论点，即更早的时间表将有利于面临全球变暖最直接后果的国家。
Their support strengthens the EU's argument that an earlier timetable would benefit countries facing the most immediate consequences of global warming.
尽管如此，在安塔利亚取得突破将很困难。联合国气候峰会的决定要求近200个参会国达成共识，这赋予了反对方对结果的相当大的影响力。
Nevertheless, achieving a breakthrough in Antalya will be difficult. Decisions at UN climate summits require consensus among nearly 200 participating countries, giving opponents considerable influence over the outcome.
对欧盟而言，这场争端已成为一项考验，即各国政府是否准备让最新的科学发现指导国际气候政策。
For the EU, the dispute has become a test of whether governments are prepared to allow the latest scientific findings to guide international climate policy.
