COP27 puts climate compensation on agenda for first time
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Delegates at the the U.N.'s COP27 climate summit in Egypt agreed to discuss whether rich nations should compensate poor countries most vulnerable to climate change for their suffering.出席联合国在埃及举行的2022年联合国气候变化大会第27次缔约方会议(COP27)的代表们同意讨论富裕国家是否应该赔偿最易受气候变化影响的穷国的痛苦。"This creates for the first time an institutionally stable space on the formal agenda of COP and the Paris Agreement to discuss the pressing issue of funding arrangements needed to deal with existing gaps, responding to loss and damage," COP27 president Sameh Shoukry told the opening plenary.2022年联合国气候变化大会第27次缔约方会议主席萨梅赫·舒克里在开幕式全体会议上表示:“这首次在缔约方会议和《巴黎协定》的正式议程上创造了一个制度上稳定的空间,以讨论解决现有差距、应对损失和损害所需的紧迫资金安排问题”。The item was adopted to the agenda in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Sunday, as world leaders arrived for the negotiations scheduled to run through Nov. 18.该项目于周日在埃及沙姆沙伊赫被列入议程,当时世界各国领导人抵达参加定于11月18日举行的谈判。Much of the tension at COP27 is expected to relate to loss and damage - funds provided by wealthy nations to vulnerable lower-income countries that bear little responsibility for climate-warming emissions.预计COP27上的紧张局势大部分与损失和损害有关——富裕国家向脆弱的低收入国家提供资金,这些国家对气候变暖的排放几乎没有责任。At COP26 last year in Glasgow, high-income nations blocked a proposal for a loss and damage financing body, instead supporting a new three-year dialogue for funding discussions.去年在格拉斯哥举行的COP26上,高收入国家否决了一项关于损失和损害融资机构的提案,转而支持一项为期三年的新的筹资讨论对话。
