中美气候变化联合声明
Beijing, China, 12 November 2014
2014年11月12日于中国北京
1. The United States of America and the People’s Republic of China have a critical role to play in combating global climate change, one of the greatest threats facing humanity. The seriousness of the challenge calls upon the two sides to work constructively together for the common good.
一、中华人民共和国和美利坚合众国在应对全球气候变化这一人类面临的最大威胁上具有重要作用。该挑战的严重性需要中美双方为了共同利益建设性地一起努力。
2. Today, the Presidents of the United States and China announced their respective post-2020 actions on climate change, recognizing that these actions are part of the longer range effort to transition to low-carbon economies, mindful of the global temperature goal of 2℃. The United States intends to achieve an economy-wide target of reducing its emissions by 26%-28% below its 2005 level in 2025 and to make best efforts to reduce its emissions by 28%. China intends to achieve the peaking of CO2 emissions around 2030 and to make best efforts to peak early and intends to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20% by 2030. Both sides intend to continue to work to increase ambition over time.
二、今天，中美两国元首宣布了两国各自2020年后应对气候变化行动，认识到这些行动是向低碳经济转型长期努力的组成部分并考虑到2℃全球温升目标。美国计划于2025年实现在2005年基础上减排26%-28%的全经济范围减排目标并将努力减排28%。中国计划2030年左右二氧化碳排放达到峰值且将努力早日达峰，并计划到2030年非化石能源占一次能源消费比重提高到20%左右。双方均计划继续努力并随时间而提高力度。
3. The United States and China hope that by announcing these targets now, they can inject momentum into the global climate negotiations and inspire other countries to join in coming forward with ambitious actions as soon as possible, preferably by the first quarter of 2015. The two Presidents resolved to work closely together over the next year to address major impediments to reaching a successful global climate agreement in Paris.
三、中美两国希望，现在宣布上述目标能够为全球气候谈判注入动力，并带动其他国家也一道尽快并最好是2015年第一季度提出有力度的行动目标。两国元首决定来年紧密合作，解决妨碍巴黎会议达成一项成功的全球气候协议的重大问题。
4. The global scientific community has made clear that human activity is already changing the world’s climate system. Accelerating climate change has caused serious impacts. Higher temperatures and extreme weather events are damaging food production, rising sea levels and more damaging storms are putting our coastal cities increasingly at risk and the impacts of climate change are already harming economies around the world, including those of the United States and China. These developments urgently require enhanced actions to tackle the challenge.
四、全球科学界明确提出，人类活动已在改变世界气候系统。日益加速的气候变化已经造成严重影响。更高的温度和极端天气事件正在损害粮食生产，日益升高的海平面和更具破坏性的风暴使我们沿海城市面临的危险加剧，并且气候变化的影响已在对包括中美两国在内的世界经济造成危害。这些情况迫切需要强化行动以应对气候挑战。
5. At the same time, economic evidence makes increasingly clear that smart action on climate change now can drive innovation, strengthen economic growth and bring broad benefits – from sustainable development to increased energy security, improved public health and a better quality of life. Tackling climate change will also strengthen national and international security.
五、与此同时，经济证据日益表明现在采取应对气候变化的智慧行动可以推动创新、提高经济增长并带来诸如可持续发展、增强能源安全、改善公共健康和提高生活质量等广泛效益。应对气候变化同时也将增强国家安全和国际安全。
