2023年11月15日,中美两国发表关于加强合作应对气候危机的阳光之乡声明,重申致力于合作并与其他国家共同努力应对气候危机。作为今年国际应对气候变化领域的重要事件,《联合国气候变化框架公约》第二十八次缔约方大会(COP28)也在声明中被重点提及。
对于中美在气候问题上所达成的共识,COP28 主席苏尔坦·贾比尔博士(Dr. Sultan Al Jaber)发表了声明,声明全文(中英文)如下:
对于中美发表的这一重要声明,我表示热烈的欢迎和衷心的祝贺。这一声明响应了国际社会对采取气候行动的持续呼声,提高了对首次全球盘点的回应门槛。
I welcome and congratulate the US and China on this significant announcement, which responds to the global community’s repeated calls for action and raises the bar for an ambitious response to the first Global Stock Take.
世界亟需积极的进展,人们的期望仍然很高。我们必须恢复对多边主义的信任。这份声明告诉我们,当我们携手为更广泛群体的利益奋斗时,我们就能实现历史性的、充满意义的、雄心勃勃的成果。
The world needs good news, and expectations remain high. We must restore trust in multilateralism. Today’s announcement demonstrates that, when we work towards a greater good, we can deliver historic, meaningful, high-ambition outcomes.
中美达成的共识是COP28开幕前取得的一项重要成果。到2030年全球可再生能源装机将增至3倍,同时削减电力行业排放;并通过全经济范围的国家自主贡献,减少甲烷排放以及所有温室气体排放,同时争取在这个关键的十年内实现碳达峰——这些目标对我们的子孙后代有着意义深远的影响。
The consensus reached between the US and China is a significant outcome ahead of COP28. Tripling renewables capacity and cutting power-sector emissions by 2030, coupled with commitments to urgently reduce methane emissions and tackle all greenhouses gases through economy-wide NDCs, whilst anticipating peaking in this critical decade, will have a meaningful impact for generations to come.
全球盘点的结果表明,要使实现《巴黎协定》目标重回正轨,使“1.5 摄氏度”目标保持在可实现的范围内,我们还有很多工作要做。这也要求各方团结起来,采取行动,并在 COP28 达成充满雄心的全球盘点决定。
The Global Stock Take evidences that there is much to be done to get back on track and keep 1.5℃ within reach. It will require all parties to unite, act, and deliver a high-ambition GST decision at COP28.
我敦促各方在 COP28 开幕前提高雄心。
I urge all parties to raise ambition ahead of COP28.
中美所达成的共识释放了一个明确的信号,即在日益动荡的世界中,应对气候变化挑战为加强全球团结提供了特殊的机会。
This agreement sends a clear signal that, in an increasingly turbulent world, the climate change challenge provides a unique opportunity to strengthen global solidarity.
