哥本哈根联合国气候变化大会当地时间18日达成协议文本,文本篇幅很短,简明扼要地列出了12个条款,符合此前预期。文件没有提及各国的具体温室气体减排目标。以下是协议文本全文:
Full text of the Copenhagen Accord
The Heads State, Heads of Government, Ministers, and other heads of delegation present at the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 in Copenhagen,
各国领导人、政府首脑、官员以及其他出席本次在哥本哈根举行的联合国2009年气候变化会议的代表:
In pursuit of the ultimate objective of the Convention as stated in its Article 2,
Being guided by the principles and provisions of the Convention,
Noting the results of work done by the two Ad hoc Working Groups,
Endorsing decision x/CP.15 on the Ad hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action and decision x/CMP.5 that requests the Ad hoc Working Group on Further Commitments of Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol to continue its work,
Have agreed on this Copenhagen Accord which is operational immediately.
为最终达成本协议第二款所述的会议目标,在会议原则和愿景的指引下,考虑到两个特别工作组的工作成果,我们同意特别工作组关于长期合作行动的x/CP.15号决议,以及继续按照特别工作组x/CMP.5号决议要求,履行附录I根据《京都议定书》列出的各方义务。
我们同意此哥本哈根协议,并立即开始执行。
1. We underline that climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We emphasize our strong political will to urgently combat climate change in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities. To achieve the ultimate objective of the Convention to stabilize greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, we shall, recognizing the scientific view that the increase in global temperature should be below 2 degrees Celsius, on the basis of equity and in the context of sustainable development, enhance our long-term cooperative action to combat climate change. We recognize the critical impacts of climate change and the potential impacts of response measures on countries particularly vulnerable to its adverse effects and stress the need to establish a comprehensive adaptation programme including international support.
1. 我们强调,气候变化是我们当今面临的最重大挑战之一。我们强调对抗气候变化的强烈政治意愿,以及“共同但区别的责任”原则。为最终达成最终的会议目标,稳定温室气体在大气中的浓度以及防止全球气候继续恶化,我们必须在认识到每年全球气候升幅不应超过2摄氏度的科学观点后,在公正和可持续发展的基础上,加强长期合作以对抗气候变化。我们认识到气候变化的重大影响,以及对一些受害尤其严重的国家的应对措施的潜在影响,并强调建立一个全面的应对计划并争取国际支持的重要性。
2. We agree that deep cuts in global emissions are required according to science, and as documented by the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report with a view to reduce global emissions so as to hold the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius, and take action to meet this objective consistent with science and on the basis of equity. We should cooperate in achieving the peaking of global and national emissions as soon as possible, recognizing that the time frame. for peaking will be longer in developing countries and bearing in mind that social and economic development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of developing countries and that a low-emission development strategy is indispensable to sustainable development.
2. 我们同意,从科学角度出发,必须大幅度减少全球碳排放,并应当依照IPCC第四次评估报告所述愿景,将每年全球气温升幅控制在2摄氏度以下,并在公平的基础上行动起来以达成上述基于科学研究的目标。我们应该合作起来以尽快实现全球和各国碳排放峰值,我们认识到发展中国家碳排放达到峰值的时间框架可能较长,并且认为社会和经济发展以及消除贫困对于发展中国家来说仍然是首要的以及更为重要的目标,不过低碳排放的发展战略对可持续发展而言是必不可少的。
3. Adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change and the potential impacts of response measures is a challenge faced by all countries. Enhanced action and international cooperation on adaptation is urgently required to ensure the implementation of the Convention by enabling and supporting the implementation of adaptation actions aimed at reducing vulnerability and building resilience in developing countries, especially in those that are particularly vulnerable, especially least developed countries, small island developing States and Africa. We agree that developed countries shall provide adequate, predictable and sustainable financial resources, technology and capacity-building to support the implementation of adaptation action in developing countries.
3. 所有国家均面临气候变化的负面影响,为此应当支持并实行旨在降低发展中国家受害程度并加强其应对能力的行动,尤其是最不发达国家和位于小岛屿的发展中国家以及非洲国家,我们认为发达国家应当提供充足的、可预测的和持续的资金资源、技术以及经验,以支持发展中国家实行对抗气候变化举措。
4. Annex I Parties commit to implement individually or jointly the quantified economywide emissions targets for 2020, to be submitted in the format given in Appendix I by Annex I Parties to the secretariat by 31 January 2010 for compilation in an INF document. Annex I Parties that are Party to the Kyoto Protocol will thereby further strengthen the emissions reductions initiated by the Kyoto Protocol. Delivery of reductions and financing by developed countries will be measured, reported and verified in accordance with existing and any further guidelines adopted by the Conference of the Parties, and will ensure that accounting of such targets and finance is rigorous, robust and transparent.
4. 附录I各缔约方将在2010年1月31日之前向秘书处提交经济层面量化的2020年排放目标,并承诺单独或者联合执行这些目标。这些目标的格式如附录I所示。附录I国家中,属于《京都议定书》缔约方的都将进一步加强该议定书提出的碳减排。碳减排和发达国家的资金援助的衡量、报告和核实工作,都将根据现存的或者缔约方大会所采纳的任何进一步的方针进行,并将确保这些目标和融资的计算是严格、健全、透明的。
5. Non-Annex I Parties to the Convention will implement mitigation actions, including those to be submitted to the secretariat by non-Annex I Parties in the format given in Appendix II by 31 January 2010, for compilation in an INF document, consistent with Article 4.1 and Article 4.7 and in the context of sustainable development. Least developed countries and small island developing States may undertake actions voluntarily and on the basis of support. Mitigation actions subsequently taken and envisaged by Non-Annex I Parties, including national inventory reports, shall be communicated through national communications consistent with Article 12.1(b) every two years on the basis of guidelines to be adopted by the Conference of the Parties. Those mitigation actions in national communications or otherwise communicated to the Secretariat will be added to the list in appendix II. Mitigation actions taken by Non-Annex I Parties will be subject to their domestic measurement, reporting and verification the result of which will be reported through their national communications every two years. Non-Annex I Parties will communicate information on the implementation of their actions through National Communications, with provisions for international consultations and analysis under clearly defined guidelines that will ensure that national sovereignty is respected. Nationally appropriate mitigation actions seeking international support will be recorded in a registry along with relevant technology, finance and capacity building support. Those actions supported will be added to the list in appendix II. These supported nationally appropriate mitigation actions will be subject to international measurement, reporting and verification in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Conference of the Parties.
5. 附录I非缔约方将根据第四条第一款和第四条第七款、在可持续发展的情况下实行延缓气候变化举措,包括在2010年1月31日之前按照附录II所列格式向秘书处递交的举措。最不发达国家及小岛屿发展中国家可以在得到扶持的情况下,自愿采取行动。
附录I非缔约方采取的和计划采取的减排措施应根据第十二条第一款(b),以缔约方大会采纳的方针为前提,每两年通过国家间沟通来交流。这些通过国家间沟通或者向秘书处报告的减排措施将被添加进附录II的列表中。
附录I非缔约方采取的减排措施将需要对每两年通过国家间沟通进行报告结果在国内进行衡量、报告和审核。附录I非缔约方将根据那些将确保国家主权得到尊重的、明确界定的方针,通过国家间沟通,交流各国减排措施实施的相关信息,为国际会议和分析做好准备。寻求国际支持的合适的国家减排措施将与相关的技术和能力扶持一起登记在案。那些获得扶持的措施将被添加进附录II的列表中。
这些得到扶持的合适的国家减排措施将有待根据缔约方大会采纳的方针进行国际衡量、报告和审核。
