世行警告環境變化將增加一億貧困人口大綱

The World bank is warning that global warming will push 100 million more people into poverty across the globe in the next 15 years, in the absence of further action by developed nations to curb rising temperatures.

世界銀行警告說，發達國家若不進一步採取行動遏制全球氣候升溫，今後15年全球貧困人口將增加一億。

In a report released Sunday, the bank called for "rapid, inclusive and climate smart development, together with emission reductions" aimed at protecting the world's most vulnerable inhabitants.

世行在週日公佈的一份報告中呼籲要實現“在減排的同時，快速、廣泛的和有利氣候的發展”，目的是保護世界上最易受到侵害的居民。

The report, entitled "Shockwaves: Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty," comes ahead of a global summit on climate change that opens November 30 in Paris.

這份題爲《大沖擊：氣候變遷對窮國影響之管理》的報告的發表正值11月30日巴黎召開全球氣候峯會的前夕。

It also follows last week's United Nations warning that voluntary carbon emission cutting pledges from industrialized nations go nowhere near far enough to prevent a looming crisis.

上個星期，聯合國警告說，工業化國家作出的自願減排承諾還遠遠不夠，無法避免迫在眉睫的危機。

Current recommendations call for global measures aimed at limiting temperature rises to 2 degrees Celsius in this century.

目前的建議是採取全球性措施，在本世紀把全球溫度升幅限制在2攝氏度以內。

But Friday's U.N. Environment Program report said existing pledges - if honored - will yield only a third of the reductions needed by 2030 to preserve that long-range target.

但是，聯合國環境規劃署週五公佈的一份報告說，如果按照現行承諾加以實施，那麼到2030年只能實現屆時所應達到減排目標的三分之一。
