2023年，人类社会和自然生态系统像是在“冰与火”的刀锋上蹒跚前行。IPCC发布报告警示全球温升已逼近1.5°C阈值，在此背景下，厄尔尼诺现象让这一年全球冷暖更替更加极端，发展中国家债务水平仍处高位，挤占流向国内教育、卫生和环境等改善福祉、增加韧性的资金投入。“沸腾时代”下，生态系统加速恶化，经济增长降温，国际形势不确定性增加，多重挑战下，如何保持经济社会系统以及个体的韧性，守望人与自然和谐共生的共同愿景，成为多双边进程以及公共讨论中的重要课题。
In 2023, human society and natural ecosystems seemed to be navigating the razor's edge between "ice and fire". The IPCC report warned that the average global temperature increase was perilously close to the 1.5°C threshold. And the El Niño phenomenon made global temperature fluctuations even more extreme. Additionally, high debt levels in developing countries have squeezed vital funding for domestic welfare improvements in areas like education, health, and environmental sustainability, thereby limiting their resilience. In the "era of global boiling", we observed the rapid degradation of ecosystems, slow economic recovery, and growing international uncertainty. Facing these complex challenges, the key question in bilateral and multilateral initiatives and public discourse is how to maintain the resilience of economic social systems and individuals while fostering a shared vision of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.
如果把2023当成是电影，我们看到的仿佛是一出发生在《泰坦尼克号》上的《虎胆龙威》。如果把2023当成是关卡游戏的其中一关，我们有些忐忑地猜测着下一关要应对“魔王”的何种绝招。Game尚未over，玩家仍在努力: 3月份谈成的历史性《公海协定》让我们看到多边主义下全球治理的可能性；首次全球气候盘点驱动着各国加强其行动力度；完善后的国家公园法案将带领中国在2035年建成世界最大国家公园体系。
If the world in 2023 were a "movie", it might resemble an intense drama set on the Titanic, infused with the thrills of Die Hard. Viewing it as a level in a "video game", one might apprehensively anticipate the formidable challenges posed by the "final boss". The "game" is not over, and the players are still actively engaged: the historic BBNJ Agreement, negotiated in March, showcased the possibilities of global governance through multilateralism; the first-ever Global Stocktake inspired nations to intensify their climate action efforts; and the refined National Parks Act positions China to establish the world’s largest national park system by 2035.
新春临近，本期贺岁版《地球札记》汇集了过去一年里绿研和伙伴们在可持续发展之路上奉献的点滴力量。当无数个不自量力的我们共同展开思想的翅膀，人与自然和谐相处的零碳未来的希望就依然还在。

| 基于科学，高于科学——公海保护区建设的协商程序 Science-Guided, Science-Transcending—The Negotiation Process for Marine Protected Areas in the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction |
2023 年 6 月 19 日，联合国在纽约正式通过《海洋法公约下国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用协定》（简称《BBNJ 协定》）。这一协定为公海生物多样性的治理提供了一套规则，其中包括在公海上设立包括海洋保护区在内的划区管理工具等措施的程序。我们通过对已有公海保护区决策程序的梳理，为《BBNJ 协定》未来的落实及中国的参与提出展望。 On June 19, 2023, the United Nations officially adopted the under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) in New York. This Agreement established a framework for the governance of biodiversity in the areas beyond national jurisdiction, including protocols for setting up marine protected areas and other zonal management tools. We delved into the decision-making processes of existing marine protected areas in the areas beyond national jurisdiction, offering insights into the future implementation of the BBNJ Agreement and China's role therein. |
| 具有气候韧性的海洋保护区规划 Developing Plans for Climate-Resilient Marine Protected Areas
|
近年来，全球海洋保护区的面积不断扩大，这对减缓和促进适应气候变化对海洋的影响有着积极的作用。由于气候变化将继续影响全球（MPAs）网络，过去的经验可能不足以作为未来保护规划和管理的参照指南，因此，如何维持保护区功能，并有效地将气候变化纳入保护区规划，已成为未来海洋保护规划的新挑战。我们通过文献分析研究，梳理了现有在海洋保护区设计过程中的方法，为在海洋保护区建设中协同实现“昆蒙框架”和《巴黎协定》的目标提供了建议。 In recent years, the global expansion of marine protected areas (MPAs) has significantly contributed to mitigation and adaptation efforts in response to climate change impacts on the oceans. As climate change continues to shape the global MPA network, past experience may not be entirely sufficient for guiding future conservation planning and management. Therefore, figuring out how to maintain the functionality of these protected areas while effectively incorporating climate change considerations into planning process presents a new challenge in marine protection. We through a review of the literature, examined existing methods in the design of MPAs, offering recommendations for aligning the governance of MPAs with the goals set by "the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework" and the Paris Agreement.
基于国内外环境治理领域的重点事件，我们撰写了51 篇分析与解读文章 ，以本土社会组织的视角贡献于环境治理的公共讨论。
During key events in domestic and global environmental governance, we contributed to public discussions on environmental governance from the perspective of local social organizations with 51 analyses.
| 面对真实的蓝碳
Confronting the Realities of Blue Carbon |
把海洋碳汇包装成可进入碳市场的“蓝碳”减排量似乎是逻辑上最合理的选择。但是由于海洋的特殊性，海洋碳汇要成为可交易的减排量依然挑战重重。我们梳理了几种不同类型的海洋生物碳汇所面临的问题，在全球生物多样性丧失与气候变化复杂关联的背景下，帮助读者建立起对海洋碳汇的发展的合理预期。
The idea of transforming marine carbon sinks into "blue carbon" emission reductions for carbon markets seems intuitively sound. However, due to the oceans' unique characteristics, realizing tradable emission reductions from marine carbon sinks is fraught with challenges. We navigated through various issues faced by different types of marine biological carbon sinks, guiding readers to form realistic expectations for the development of marine carbon sinks amidst global biodiversity loss and complex climate change interactions.

| 2022年，“昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架”在联合国《生物多样性公约》第十五次缔约方大会（COP15）第二阶段会议上正式通过，开启了全球生物多样性保护的新征程，提出了新目标。2023是“昆蒙框架”实施的开局之年。各方应将重点转移到行动上，积极促进落实，为全球生物多样性保护开启新的篇章。在第23个国际生物多样性日之际，我们与各位共同呼吁：促落实，奔向人与自然和谐共生的2030。 In 2022, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was formally launched at the second phase of the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15), thus starting a new journey in global biodiversity conservation with visionary goals. As 2023 marks the beginning of GBF implementation, all parties should shift their focus to concrete actions, making efforts to facilitate such implementation and opening a new chapter in global biodiversity conservation. On the International Biodiversity Day, the GHub urges all parties to accelerate the implementation as we head for a harmonious 2030 where human and nature shall live in peace. 首刊于《新周刊》第635期 This issue was first published in the 635th issue of the New Weekly |
