Abstract

The United Nations held its annual climate-change conference in early November 2021. The event served as a forum for countries to revisit the climate pledges they made under the 2015 Paris agreement and to offer revised plans for meeting these commitments in the decades ahead. Several large carbon-emitters – including Australia, Brazil, China, Indonesia, Mexico and Russia – revealed plans that were not significantly more ambitious than those made in 2015. However, new agreements were reached at the conference relating to methane and coal, and the United States and China agreed to a joint declaration describing steps they will take in the coming years to work together on climate change. In summary, a significant gap remains between pledged emissions reductions and those needed to keep average, long-term warming below the target described in the Paris agreement.

格拉斯哥举行的联合国气候大会
联合国于2021年11月初举行了年度气候变化大会。该活动为各国重新审视其在2015年《巴黎协定》下做出的气候承诺提供了一个论坛,并为在未来几十年实现这些承诺提供了修订计划。包括澳大利亚、巴西、中国、印度尼西亚、墨西哥和俄罗斯在内的几个大型碳排放国公布的计划并不比2015年的计划雄心勃勃。然而,会议上达成了有关甲烷和煤炭的新协议,美国和中国同意了一项联合声明,描述了他们将在未来几年采取的措施,共同应对气候变化。总之,承诺的减排与将平均长期变暖控制在《巴黎协定》所述目标以下所需的减排之间仍然存在巨大差距。
