聯(lián)合國:全球?qū)⑸郎?.7攝氏度

The world is squandering the opportunity to “build back better” from the Covid-19 pandemic, and faces disastrous temperature rises of at least 2.7C if countries fail to strengthen their climate pledges, according to a report from the UN.

聯(lián)合國的一份報(bào)告指出，世界正在浪費(fèi)新冠疫情帶來的"重建"機(jī)會，如果各國依然無法兌現(xiàn)氣候承諾，全球氣溫會上升至少2.7攝氏度，這將是災(zāi)難性的。

Tuesday’s publication warns that countries’ current pledges would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C, the aim of the Cop26 summit that opens in Glasgow this Sunday.

10月26日發(fā)布的這份報(bào)告警告稱，各國目前的承諾如果能夠兌現(xiàn)，也只能在2030年前將碳排放量降低7.5%左右，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于科學(xué)家所說的將全球氣溫升幅限制在1.5攝氏度以內(nèi)所需的45%。將全球升溫幅度控制在1.5攝氏度以內(nèi)也是10月31日在格拉斯哥召開的Cop26聯(lián)合國氣候峰會的目標(biāo)。

Emissions fell by about 5.4% last year during Covid lockdowns, the report found, but only about a fifth of the spending on economic recovery was geared to efforts that would cut carbon.

報(bào)告發(fā)現(xiàn)，去年疫情封鎖期間，碳排放量大約減少了5.4%，但是經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇的資金中只有約五分之一用于減排需求。
