Copy climate change, the United States "singing high -profile" while "dragging the hind legs"

This summer, many countries in the northern hemisphere have been invaded frequently, breaking through high temperature records in many places. The World Meteorological Organization warned that climate change has led to an increase in extreme high temperature in the world, and it is expected that extreme high temperatures will appear more frequently and stronger in the future.

The latest assessment of the Special Committee of the UN Government Climate Change pointed out that if humans do not strictly restrict carbon emissions at this stage, flood disasters, crop apology, water resources, wetland rain forests, etc. will increase significantly in the next decades, and the speed of disease transmission will be increased. It will also be accelerated further, and the situation is very severe.

"China Climate Change Blue Book (2021)" pointed out that in 2020, the global average temperature was 1.2 degrees Celsius higher than before industrialization, and the critical point of the 1.5 degrees Celsius in the Paris Agreement was only 0.3 degrees Celsius. The scientific community believes that if the global temperature rise is breaking the critical point of 1.5 degrees Celsius, the harm brings is irreversible within hundreds of years. Climate warming will also seriously threaten food safety, ecological safety, land safety, and water security security, which will profoundly affect the sustainable development of global economy and society.

Since the 1980s, the international community has been striving to promote the establishment of a fair and reasonable global climate governance system, and is committed to finding the ways to control greenhouse gas emissions and solve climate change issues, and have made important progress. In 1994, the Convention on the Framework of the United Nations Climate Change clearly stipulated that as the largest discharge source of historical and current global greenhouse gases, developed countries should bear the responsibility and obligations of capital support to develop countries. The "Kyoto Protocol" reached in 1997 also required developed countries to bear quantitative emission reduction indicators. The "Paris Agreement" in 2016 is the goal to make the global greenhouse gas emissions reach the peak as soon as possible. It is required to control the global average temperature increase within 2 degrees Celsius before the industrial revolution, and strive to achieve 1.5 degrees Celsius.

However, individual countries have long said that they have not been practiced. At the Seventh -way Group Summit, the United States took the lead in supporting the establishment of a "Climate Club" by the end of 2022 to promote the goal of achieving the Paris Agreement. At the NATO summit, the United States also claimed to assist NATO agencies to monitor greenhouse gas emissions. These "ambitious" declarations in the United States have no idea how many points can be implemented in action. However, from the perspective of the United States, the climate change is deeply trapped in the party's dilemma. It often adjusts the door high and has less actions. Even for its own self -interest, it has repeatedly "reversing" on climate governance issues, and repeatedly "dragged the legs" to global climate governance.

Almost at the same time as the NATO Summit, the US Federal Supreme Court ruled that the National Environmental Protection Administration had no right to restrict greenhouse gas emissions at the state level, nor must the power plant be required to abandon fossil fuel renewable energy sources. Not only that, since the Copenhagen World Climate Change Conference in 2009, the United States has not been able to fulfill its commitment to provide climate financing to developing countries every year. The World Resources Research Institute issued a report last October stating that according to different indicators such as economic volume or historical emissions, the "fair share" that the United States should have completed in 2018 in the US $ 100 billion climate financing was 40%to 47%, but the United States The completion of the share is less than 20%, and the financing gap is as high as 21 billion to 40 billion US dollars. The United States has no faith, which seriously damages the global climate governance process.

Copy climate change, China has always been adhering to the promise, and it is necessary to show that it is necessary to show the responsibility of a responsible country. It is an important participant, contributor and leader of global ecological civilization construction.

China's innovation global climate governance concept, proposed the natural outlook of adhering to the harmonious coexistence of people and nature, the green mountains and green mountains are the development concept of Jinshan Yinshan, a common but different concept of governance, and together with the countries along the “Belt and Road”, the country builds green. ", Make a unique contribution to the buildings and the community of nature.

China actively improves the climate governance mechanism, develops a green economy, advocates green consumption, and increases ecosystem carbon exchange. In 2020, China officially promised to the international community: strive to achieve carbon peaks by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. At present, China is in an orderly manner to promote carbon peaks, carbon neutralization, and "double carbon" target tasks. In 2020, China's carbon emissions fell 48.4%compared with 2005, exceeding the goal of decreased by 40%-45%of China's commitment to the international community by 2020, with a cumulative discharge of about 5.8 billion tons of carbon dioxide, which basically reversed carbon dioxide emissions rapidly. Growth. At the same time, China has continued to promote the change of energy production and use, and accelerates low -carbon development and green transformation. By the end of May this year, the scale of China's renewable energy power generation installed capacity exceeded 1.1 billion kilowatts, and the scale of hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic power generation, and biomass power generation installation ranked first in the world.

China has also provided the help and support of the ability to improve climate change in developing countries, and has been well received by the international community. For more than 10 years, China has invested approximately 1.2 billion yuan to carry out South -South cooperation in response to climate change. As of the past 8 years of 2021, China has implemented a total of more than 200 foreign aid projects for climate change, and presented to nearly 40 countries in nearly 40 countries. Energy -saving and new energy products and equipment helped the relevant countries to launch weather satellites, trained nearly 1,500 officials and technicians in the field of climate change for 120 developing countries.

To deal with the increasingly severe global challenges of climate change, you must not say that you can do it, and you must not delay perfunctory.Countries must come up with strong political will and real actions, actively carry out multilateral cooperation, maintain global climate justice, and protect the common homes of human beings.(Lin Zihan, the author is the overseas version of the People's Daily)
