罗马会议的关键提要

气候变化的证据已然是无可争辩的,然而,G20峰会向世界表明,该集团仍未就未来如何应对达成一致。

富国和穷国之间的分歧,也在这两天于罗马举行的谈判上显现。各国领导人最终宣称,试图为明天于Glasgow举行的第26届联合国大会(COP26)上的谈话找到共同立场(common front),却以在其他议题花力气甚少为代价,这些议题包括从逐渐淘汰煤炭到零碳排放目标。

“我们在多久必须开始行动和多快开始改变方向的问题上,具有不同看法,”意大利总理 Mario Draghi ,同时也是G20峰会的东道主,对其他领导人说,“新兴经济体对富国于过去产生的污染,到底具有多大的不满。”

俄罗斯外交部长 Sergei Lavrov (谢盖尔 拉夫罗夫)指责G7工业国家,试图跳过其他事情,直接接受2050年零碳排放的截止日期。“像G7国家这样,通过谈判方式达成共识,是不礼貌的”,他说。(译者注:首先,G7峰会,即七国集团峰会,美英法德日意加;其次,俄罗斯外交部长的意思是,这些发达国家已经破坏环境达到工业目的,现在以他们的标准,要求其他国家也达到同样的碳排标准,还以谈判的方式进行,是很不礼貌和友好的。)

上述信息没有一个是本次COP26能取得突破的好兆头,而且COP26由于中国领导人习近平和俄国领导人普京缺席,已经遇到挑战。这两国领导人都试图在本国通过电话接入会议。

这次会议,G20也对不可避免的未来灾难进行警告。数据显示,要去弥补某些变化带来的差距是很困难的,这些变化包括试图去衡量未来整个地球所面临的问题规模。

随着接力棒交到 Glasgow,COP26的领导人们也能认识到,没有任何一个国家能够去避免,无法处理好环境问题的后果(consequences if they fail)。 —— Anthony Halpin

“I must be clear, that if Glasgow fails, then the whole thing fails. The Paris Agreement will have crumpled at the first reckoning.” —— Boris Johnson, U.K. Prime Minister

根据联合国世界气象组织(United Nations World Meteorological Organization)早期估计,2021年预期是过去7年中最热的一年,自从2014年记录数据开始。Glasgow 官方会议,也将面对如何保持温度上升小于2摄氏度,和之前的工业水平相比——最好是小于1.5度。

彭博专栏评论

彭博观点专栏作者对世界领导人、学者、倡议者如何成功达成COP26,提出意见。

对Glasgow结果的预期是高于巴黎的,Therese Raphael 写到。鉴于一些承诺已经作出,现在(全世界)就各国政府为世界环境付出了多少,去衡量其兑现程度。然而,编辑们(全世界的写手)对于该峰会能够达到转折点是乐观的,如果该会议能够保证在两个长期问题上达到突破,一是敲定全球碳市场的细节,二是帮助穷国在适应气候要求进行改造。

Jonathon Ford 警告诸国,特别是欧洲,核能是一种安全而干净的能源,现在却被放弃使用,这一事实只会使得去碳化的目标变得更加艰巨。

新冠疫情向人们展示全球所面临的严峻威胁。没有国家在疫情期间完美反映,但是 Clara Ferreira Marques 认为,我们仍然可以从政府的失败中学习更多,首当其冲的是,延迟行动不利于任何人。

Key Takeaways From Rome

Evidence of climate change is now indisputable but the G-20 summit showed the world is still far from united on what to do about it.

Divisions between rich and poor states were on display during two days of negotiations that concluded in Rome today. While the leaders’ final statement sought to present a common front for the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow starting tomorrow, that came at the price of weak commitments on issues ranging from phasing out coal to targets for net-zero carbon emissions.

“We have different views over how soon we must start to act and how fast we must change course,” Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the summit’s host, told fellow leaders. “Emerging economies resent how much rich countries have polluted in the past.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the Group of Seven industrialized nations of trying to bounce everyone else into adopting 2050 as a net-zero deadline. “It is not very polite to use this negotiating process the way the G-7 tried to,” he said.

None of this bodes well for a breakthrough at COP26, which already faces challenges from the absence of leaders of key emitters including China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, both of whom opted to stay at home and dialed in to the G-20.

Scientists say that restricting the planet’s warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels is urgently needed to avert devastating environmental upheaval. That’s running into the reality that fossil fuels drive the economies of nations from Australia to Saudi Arabia, and provide heat and fuel to the citizens of China and India.

For all the warnings of inevitable catastrophe, the G-20 showed how hard it is to bridge this gap with changes that measure up to the scale of the challenges facing the planet.

As the baton is passed on to Glasgow, leaders at COP26 know that no nation will escape the consequences if they fail. — Anthony Halpin

It was perhaps the oddest “family photo” for a G-20 — and that’s saying something. The summit was a hybrid with a clutch of leaders skipping an in-person appearance. That required some careful strategy from the hosts to ensure the tradition of a group picture wasn’t lost.

Heating Up

The year 2021 is now expected to qualify among the hottest seven in history, all of them recorded since 2014, according to an early estimate by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization. Officials meeting in Glasgow will confer on how to keep warming below 2°C (3.6° Fahrenheit) compared with pre-industrial levels — and preferably 1.5°C.

Coming up Monday at COP26: Leaders set out their plans in a moment that’s meant to kick-start two weeks of negotiations.

From Bloomberg Opinion Bloomberg Opinion columnists have some advice for how world leaders, academics and activists can make COP26 a success.

The bar in Glasgow is higher than it was in Paris, writes Therese Raphael. There, pledges were made; now governments will be measured by what they deliver. Yet the Editors are optimistic that the summit can mark a turning point if it secures breakthroughs on two long-standing challenges: finalizing the details of a global carbon market and supporting climate adaptation in poorer nations.

Jonathan Ford warns us that, in Europe especially, nuclear energy — a source of safe, clean power — is being abandoned — a fact that will only make decarbonization harder.

Covid-19 has presented the world with an acute threat. No country has responded to the pandemic perfectly, but Clara Ferreira Marques says we can learn from governmental failures. Lesson one: Delaying action serves no one.
