绿党回应工党 COP29 损失和损害声明 5000 万美元

澳大利亚绿党副领袖兼国际援助和全球正义发言人 Mehreen Faruqi 参议员对工党在 COP29 上宣布为气候变化造成的损失和损害捐款 5000 万美元做出了回应。

Australia has pledged $50 million towards a fund to compensate developing nations for climate change-related loss and damage, a move welcomed by the Greens but criticized for being insufficient.

澳大利亚已承诺拨款 5000 万美元设立一个基金，以补偿发展中国家与气候变化相关的损失和损害，此举受到绿党的欢迎，但批评其力度不够。

The funding was announced by Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen at the COP29 climate summit in Egypt on Monday, part of a broader commitment by developed nations to establish a loss and damage finance facility.

周一，气候变化和能源部长 Chris Bowen 在埃及举行的 COP29 气候峰会上宣布了这笔资金，这是发达国家建立损失和损害融资机制的更广泛承诺的一部分。

The Greens welcomed the announcement, with Deputy Leader and International Aid and Global Justice Spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi saying it was "about time."

绿党对这一消息表示欢迎，副党魁兼国际援助和全球正义发言人参议员梅林·法鲁奇 (Mehreen Faruqi) 表示，“是时候了”。

"Finally, after years of pressure since the Loss and Damage Fund was agreed to, Labor has pledged $50 million towards it," Senator Faruqi said in a statement.

参议员法鲁奇在一份声明中表示：“自同意设立损失和损害基金以来，经过多年的压力，工党终于承诺为此提供 5000 万美元。”

"This is a start but nowhere near the fair share for a country which is one of the largest exporters of coal and gas."

“这是一个开始，但对于一个最大的煤炭和天然气出口国之一的国家来说，远未达到公平的份额。”

However, Senator Faruqi criticized the government for continuing to approve new coal and gas mines, saying this would "keep exacerbating climate driven disasters which results in the loss and damage suffered by the Global South."

然而，参议员法鲁奇批评政府继续批准新的煤矿和天然气矿，称这将“继续加剧气候驱动的灾难，导致全球南方遭受损失和损害。”

"This pledge risks becoming a token gesture if the Albanese government continues to approve new coal and gas mines that will keep exacerbating climate driven disasters which results in the loss and damage suffered by the Global South," she said.

她说：“如果阿尔巴尼亚政府继续批准新的煤矿和天然气矿，这一承诺可能会成为象征性的姿态，这将继续加剧气候驱动的灾难，从而导致南半球国家遭受损失和损害。”

"The climate crisis is having a severe impact on Pacific nations who did nothing to create this disaster, yet bear the burden of the damage caused.

“气候危机正在对太平洋国家产生严重影响，这些国家没有采取任何措施制造这场灾难，但却承担了造成的损害的负担。

"Pacific nations need real and strong action from countries like Australia - that means ending new coal and gas, not pouring fuel on fire by opening the floodgates for fossil fuel projects."

“太平洋国家需要像澳大利亚这样的国家采取切实而有力的行动——这意味着停止新的煤炭和天然气，而不是通过打开化石燃料项目的闸门来火上浇油。”

The government has defended its approval of new coal and gas projects, arguing they are needed to meet the country's energy needs and support jobs.

政府为其批准新的煤炭和天然气项目进行了辩护，称这些项目是满足国家能源需求和支持就业所必需的。

But critics say the projects will contribute to climate change and ultimately increase the loss and damage suffered by developing nations.

但批评人士表示，这些项目将加剧气候变化，并最终增加发展中国家遭受的损失和损害。

The loss and damage fund is designed to provide financial assistance to developing nations that are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity.

损失和损害基金旨在向特别容易受到气候变化影响（例如海平面上升、极端天气事件和生物多样性丧失）的发展中国家提供财政援助。

The fund will be used to compensate developing nations for the economic and non-economic losses they have suffered as a result of climate change, and to help them rebuild and recover from climate-related disasters.

该基金将用于补偿发展中国家因气候变化而遭受的经济和非经济损失，并帮助他们从气候相关灾害中重建和恢复。

The establishment of the loss and damage fund was a key outcome of the COP27 climate summit in Egypt last year, and developed nations have been under pressure to contribute to the fund.

损失和损害基金的设立是去年在埃及举行的COP27气候峰会的一项重要成果，发达国家一直面临着向该基金捐款的压力。

Australia's $50 million contribution is the first installment of funding from a developed nation, and it is expected that other developed nations will also contribute to the fund in the coming months.

澳大利亚的5000万美元捐款是发达国家提供的第一期资金，预计其他发达国家也将在未来几个月内向该基金捐款。
