中国和美国在2014年联合国气候峰会释出令人鼓舞的信息-拉尼.亚卡斯（Rani Jarkas）

美国总统奥巴马9月23日在由联合国秘书长潘基文主持的气候峰会上表示，美国和中国肩负着特殊的责任，应引领全球对抗气候变化。奥巴马总统说，作为全球两个最大的经济体和最大的温室气体排放国，两国应该做得更多，以减少温室气体排放，并协助其他国家应对气候变化所带来的影响。美中两国的二氧化碳总排放量占了世界排量的大约45％。

奥巴马表示，美国将履行其义务以实现2020年之前将温室气体排放水平降至2005年的17％水平。白宫还宣布了一系列措施，以帮助弱势群体对抗气候变化所带来的影响。基于先前的计划，白宫将提供高达十亿美元的联邦援助，以帮助美国各州和城市提前防备气候变化带来的影响。

 

而中国则在峰会上做出了最大胆的政策声明。作为习近平的特使，国务院副总理张高丽说，“中国愿与国际社会一道，积极应对气候变化所带来的严峻挑战。”他重申中国的目标是确保实现2020年碳排放强度比2005年下降40%-45%的目标。“我们致力于采取积极措施，推动节能减排，低碳发展和生态建设。”

政策观察人士说，奥巴马和张高丽的讲话鼓舞人心。世界资源研究所能源与气候项目总监珍妮弗.摩根（Jennifer Morgan）说，他们“释出了一个明确的信号，表明两国将努力落实解决气候变化，有助于明年在巴黎达成国际协议”。

China and the U.S Sending Encouraging Signs at UN Climate Summit 2014 – by Rani Jarkas

President Barack Obama said on September 23 at the Climate Summit which was hosted by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the United States and China have a “special responsibility to lead” the global fight against climate change. As the two largest economies and biggest polluters, the nations should be doing more to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to help other countries adapt to climate change effects, the president said in an address to the United Nations General Assembly. Together, the U.S. and China account for roughly 45 percent of total carbon dioxide emissions.

Obama said the U.S. would meet its voluntary target to cut greenhouse gases to 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. The White House also announced a series of initiatives to help vulnerable communities build resilience against climate effects. The announcement builds on an earlier plan to dole out $1 billion in federal aid to help U.S. states and cities to prepare ahead of time for climate impacts.

China, for its part, made its boldest policy statement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Speaking after Obama at the summit, Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli, as the special envoy of President Xi Jinping, said “China is ready to work with the international community to actively tackle the grave challenge of climate change.”  He reiterated the country’s goal to cut carbon intensity by 40 to 45 percent by 2020 from the 2005 level. “We are committed to taking proactive steps to promote energy conservation, emissions reduction, low-carbon development and ecological progress.”

Policy observers say the statements by Obama and Zhang are an encouraging sign. They “send a clear signal that both countries will work seriously to put in place climate solutions domestically and reach an ambitious international agreement in Paris next year,” Jennifer Morgan, who directs the climate and energy programs at the World Resources Institute, said in a statement.
