聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)安東尼奧·古特雷斯(Antonio Guterres)要求世界各國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人停止對(duì)煤炭的依賴。他表示,化石燃料是氣候變化的“主要威脅”,并警告稱,“必須克服”對(duì)煤炭的依賴。古特雷斯在泰國(guó)出席東盟峰會(huì)。他說(shuō),許多面臨氣候變化威脅的國(guó)家都在亞洲。他告訴世界各國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人:“這些地區(qū)的國(guó)家是最容易受到氣候變化影響的地區(qū)之一。”他補(bǔ)充說(shuō):“除非我們能夠……戰(zhàn)勝氣候變化,到2050年,研究預(yù)測(cè)世界上將有3億人被海水淹沒(méi)。”
Mr Guterres said climate change was, "the biggest threat to the planet at the present moment". He said using coal was a big problem. "We have to put a price on carbon. We need to stop subsidies for fossil fuels." He urged, "stopping the construction of coal-power electricity plants in order to be able to defeat climate change." The UN chief was speaking on a day that saw "unbearable" and "hazardous" levels of air pollution in India's capital of Delhi. An Indian health ministry official, Varun Jhaveri, said pollution monitors did not have enough digits to accurately record the pollution. He tweeted: "I think we are heading towards Delhi recording the most polluted day in the history of the world!! This is a disaster!"
古特雷斯表示,氣候變化是“目前地球面臨的最大威脅”。他說(shuō)使用煤炭是個(gè)大問(wèn)題。“我們必須為碳排放定價(jià)。我們需要停止對(duì)化石燃料的補(bǔ)貼。”他敦促說(shuō),“為了能夠應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化,停止建設(shè)燃煤電廠。”聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)是在印度首都德里空氣污染達(dá)到“難以忍受”和“危險(xiǎn)”水平的一天發(fā)表上述講話的。印度衛(wèi)生部官員Varun Jhaveri說(shuō),污染監(jiān)測(cè)儀沒(méi)有足夠的數(shù)字來(lái)準(zhǔn)確記錄污染情況。他在推特上寫(xiě)道:“我認(rèn)為我們正在前往德里,記錄世界歷史上污染最嚴(yán)重的一天!這是一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難!”
