　　4.世界衛(wèi)生組織發(fā)布《氣候變化與健康特別報告》，建議優(yōu)先考慮具有最大健康效益的氣候政策

　　報告強調(diào)前所未有的極端天氣事件(extreme weather events)和其他氣候變化事件(events related to climate change)正對人類生命和健康造成越來越大的損害，各國必須大力作出應對氣候變化的承諾，在新冠肺炎疫情后實現(xiàn)有益健康的綠色復蘇(green recovery)。

　　5. The Chinese government worked with the sci-tech community to achieve carbon peak and neutrality targets, issuing important reports on climate change

　　5.中國政府和科技界合力推進碳達峰和碳中和，氣候變化白皮書、藍皮書和綠皮書相繼發(fā)布

　　6. Climate change has increased extreme weather events; record-shattering heat waves will become far more likely; and tropical cyclones4 may occur over a wider range of latitudes5

　　6.氣候變化造成極端事件頻發(fā)，破紀錄熱浪的發(fā)生概率增加,熱帶氣旋將可能向中緯度地區(qū)擴展

　　7. Major Atlantic Ocean current system may be approaching critical threshold

　　7.大西洋洋流系統(tǒng)可能正在接近氣候臨界點

　　A study conducted as part of the European TiPES project, coordinated6 by the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany, suggested that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may have been losing stability in the course of the last century.

　　2021年丹麥哥本哈根大學和德國波茨坦氣候影響研究所的一項研究指出，大西洋經(jīng)向翻轉(zhuǎn)環(huán)流在20世紀可能已經(jīng)失去穩(wěn)定性。

　　The AMOC transports warm water from the tropics northward7 at the ocean surface and cold water southward at the ocean floor, which is particularly relevant for the relatively8 mild temperatures in Europe.

　　大西洋經(jīng)向翻轉(zhuǎn)環(huán)流將熱帶地區(qū)的暖水向北輸送到海洋表面，將冷水向南輸送到海洋底部，與歐洲相對溫和的溫度聯(lián)系密切。

　　It has previously9 been shown that the AMOC is currently at its weakest in more than 1,000 years.

　　研究表明，目前大西洋經(jīng)向翻轉(zhuǎn)環(huán)流處于1000多年來的最弱狀態(tài)。

　　Influence of the AMOC on weather systems worldwide means that a potential collapse10 of the ocean current system could have severe consequences.

　　大西洋經(jīng)向翻轉(zhuǎn)環(huán)流影響全球天氣系統(tǒng)，它的潛在崩潰可能會產(chǎn)生嚴重的后果。

　　8. China established greenhouse gas observation network

　　8.中國氣象局建成我國首個國家溫室氣體觀測網(wǎng)

　　Among the elements under observation are seven types of greenhouse gases specified11 in the Kyoto Protocol12, including carbon dioxide, methane14 and nitrous oxide13.

　　其觀測要素涵蓋《京都議定書》中規(guī)定的CO2、CH4、N2O等 7類溫室氣體。

　　9. Delivering on long-term net zero emission15 targets would result in a temperature increase of about 1.8 degrees Celsius16 by the end of the century

　　9.各國最 新氣候承諾將使21世紀末全球溫升降低到1.8℃

　　Last December, the European Commission's Joint17 Research Centre published a report titled "Global Energy and Climate Outlook (GECO) 2021: Advancing Towards Climate Neutrality." The document takes stock of recent updates to national climate targets taking into account nationally determined18 contributions (NDCs) and national long-term net zero strategies (LTS).

　　2021年12月，歐盟委員會聯(lián)合研究中心發(fā)布了《2021年全球能源與氣候展望：邁向氣候中和》的報告，評估了更新的國家自主貢獻和長期凈零排放目標對溫升水平的影響。

　　Delivering on long-term net zero emission targets would result in a temperature increase of around 1.8 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. However, strong policy action is needed, as the report states that current policies may lead to a temperature increase of more than 3 degrees Celsius. In the NDC-LTS pathway, emissions19 would peak around 2023 and then stabilize20 by mid-century, while current policies are only sufficient to stabilize global emissions by 2035-2040, according to the GECO 2021.

　　報告指出,目前的政策背景下到2100年全球溫升幅度會超過3 ℃，而實現(xiàn)長期凈零排放目標則可使到2100年全球溫升幅度降低至1.8℃。在當前的政策背景下，全球溫室氣體排放量將到2040年左右達到峰值，而在長期凈零排放路徑下，全球溫室氣體排放量將在2023年左右達到峰值，并在21世紀中葉穩(wěn)定下來。

　　10. Global fossil CO2 emissions rebounded21 close to pre-COVID-19 levels

　　10.2021年全球二氧化碳排放大幅反彈，化石燃料CO2排放量幾乎已恢復到疫情暴發(fā)前水平
