中國宣佈設置二氧化碳的排放上限

China has announced plans to set an absolute cap on CO2 emissions for 2016, a report says.

有報道稱，中國已宣佈方案，爲2016年二氧化碳排放設置絕對上限。

The unprecedented stance comes one day after the United States set goals for the power sector to reduce its own emissions, suggesting a breakthrough in climate change talks for two of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases.

就在美國爲電力行業設定溫室氣體減排目標一天之後，中國做出了這一史無前例的決定，意味着世界最大的兩個溫室氣體排放國在氣候變化問題上取得了突破性進展。

China, which emits the most greenhouse gas in the world, will set the cap as part of a larger five-year plan, according to a Reuters report. He Jiang, chairman of China’s Advisory Committee on Climate Change, made the announcement at a conference in Beijing.

路透社的報道稱，作爲世界最大的溫室氣體排放國，中國將把這個上限作爲它宏偉五年計劃的一部分。中國國家氣候變化專家委員會（China’s Advisory Committee on Climate Change）主席在北京的一次會議上做出了這個宣佈。

By setting an absolute cap, China aims to better regulate and control the amount of carbon emissions in the country’s coal-reliant economy.

中國經濟對於煤炭有較強的依賴性，通過設定絕對上限，中國意欲更有效地規範和控制碳排放量。

The cap level to be set, however, is not yet clear. A number will potentially be decided upon next year.

然而，上限的具體數額目前還沒有確定。這個數字有望在明年敲定。

Both announcements by China and the United States come ahead of worldwide climate talks slated to take place in Germany beginning Wednesday.

中國和美國趕在了週三德國全球氣候對話拉開帷幕之前做出了上述聲明。
