In November 2015, 197 countries came together in Paris

2015年11月，197個國家齊聚巴黎。

to limit the temperature increase on our planet to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

將我們地球上的溫度上升限制在1.5攝氏度以內。

The Climate Action Tracker monitors the climate commitments

氣候行動跟蹤系統監測氣候承諾

totalling roughly 80 percent of today's global greenhouse gas emissions.

總計約佔當今全球溫室氣體排放量的80%。

Here's the bad news: those emissions are still rising

壞消息是：這些排放量還在增加。

and have already warmed the globe by 1.1 degrees Celsius.

First, countries have not set emissions targets

ambitious enough to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement.

有足夠的雄心壯志來實現《巴黎協定》的目標；

Even if every country hit their targets, the temperature would still increase

即使每個國家都達到了目標，溫度也會上升。

by more than two degrees Celsius over the next 70 years,

在未來70年內，增加兩攝氏度以上。

and continue to rise into the 22nd century and beyond.

Second, governments are simply not delivering

即使是在他們不抱負的目標上。

Everything these 36 countries have done so far,

這36個國家到目前為止所做的一切。

and everything they are currently planning,

以及他們目前正在規劃的一切。

To have a hope of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees,

要有希望將全球變暖限制在1.5度以內。

we need to cut global emissions in half by 2030 and get to net zero by 2050.

我們需要在2030年之前將全球排放量減少一半，並在2050年之前實現淨排放量為零。

only two are taking enough action to restrain global warming to 1.5 degrees.

只有兩個國家採取了足夠的行動，將全球變暖控制在1.5度以內。

The Gambia has pledged to reduce its emissions,

despite being one of the developing countries

that has contributed least to the problem.

And Morocco is building more and more solar power.

而摩洛哥正在建設越來越多的太陽能。

2020 is the year national governments were supposed to come together

2020年是各國政府本應齊心協力的一年。

So far, only a few have done so while others have announced

到目前為止，只有少數人這樣做，而其他的人則宣佈

they're sticking with their existing insufficient targets.

Now, some countries aren't too far behind The Gambia and Morocco,

現在，一些國家也不甘落後，甘比亞和摩洛哥。

But the countries with the most advanced economies,

those with the greatest capacity to innovate and help others,

具有最大創新能力和幫助他人能力的人。

are shirking their responsibilities to lead.

The United States is currently withdrawing from the Paris Agreement.

美國目前正在退出《巴黎協定》。

its pledge to balance out its carbon emissions by 2060

承諾在2060年之前平衡其碳排放量；

could save the world as much as 0.3 degrees Celsius of global warming.

可以拯救世界高達0.3攝氏度的全球變暖。

But actions on the ground remain divided.

China is the largest market for wind and solar power,

中國是風能和太陽能發電的最大市場。

but also for new coal-fired power plants.

And the EU is taking steps in the right direction

而歐盟正在朝著正確的方向採取措施。

with its green deal to make member countries more sustainable.

的綠色協議，使成員國更具可持續性。

But this deal is still not enough for 1.5 degrees.

One key measure is a country's willingness to clean up electricity.

一個關鍵的衡量標準是一個國家是否願意清理電力。

Clean power can enable other sectors to reduce or eliminate emissions.

清潔動力可以使其他部門減少或消除排放。

More than 50 countries, 30 regions, 160 cities and 200 businesses

50多個國家、30多個地區、160多個城市、200多家企業。

have committed to 100 percent clean electricity.

Denmark, Scotland and the state of South Australia

but much of the world still needs to commit to, and accelerate,

但世界上大部分地區仍需致力於並加快。

There's more good news in the transportation sector.

交通運輸領域的利好消息較多。

More than 20 countries, five regions, 50 cities and 60 businesses

20多個國家、5個地區、50多個城市、60多家企業。

have already committed to 100 percent emission-free cars,

Norway is mandating the end of all sales of fossil fuel cars by 2025.

挪威規定到2025年結束所有化石燃料汽車的銷售。

to make cars that don't travel as far on a gallon of gas,

以製造出一加侖油也跑不了多遠的汽車。

Other sectors, such as steel and cement-making

are even further behind and trickier to clean up.

更為落後，清理起來也更為棘手。

But some steel and cement companies are developing carbon-free production,

但一些鋼鐵、水泥企業正在發展無碳生產。

and Norway and Scotland are targeting carbon-free short-haul flights.

以及挪威和蘇格蘭正以無碳短途飛行為目標。

These targets were already insufficient to reach the stated goal

這些目標已經不足以達到既定的目標。

of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius,

將全球變暖限制在1.5攝氏度以內。

and most are not on track to achieve even their own inadequate targets.

而大多數人甚至連自己的不足指標都沒有走上正軌。

We need more ambitious targets and much more ambitious actions.

我們需要更遠大的目標和更遠大的行動。

In the next decade, we need to transform key sectors of the global economy

在下一個十年，我們需要轉變全球經濟的關鍵部門。

These changes will be difficult but not impossible,

這些變化將是困難的，但並非不可能。

because they will also bring enormous opportunities

such a transformation will also mean cleaner air

這種轉變也意味著更清潔的空氣

and a safer, more stable climate for all.

以及為所有人提供更安全、更穩定的氣候。
