太平洋领导人和气候倡导者批评新西兰将2050年生物甲烷减排目标从24-47%降至低于2017年水平的14-24 % , 认为这不足以达到1.5摄氏度的全球升温极限。 Pacific leaders and climate advocates have criticized New Zealand for cutting its 2050 biogenic methane reduction target from 24–47% to 14–24% below 2017 levels, calling it insufficient to meet the 1.5°C global warming limit. 来自瓦努阿图、图瓦卢和其他太平洋国家的官员以及环境团体说,这一举动破坏了区域气候领导力,并有可能将排放转移至效率较低的全球生产者。 Officials from Vanuatu, Tuvalu, and other Pacific nations, along with environmental groups, said the move undermines regional climate leadership and risks shifting emissions to less efficient global producers. 他们强调了共同易受气旋等气候影响的脆弱性,并敦促采取更强有力的行动。 They stressed the shared vulnerability to climate impacts like cyclones and urged stronger action. 新西兰气候部长Simon Watts在重申对国际气候目标的承诺的同时,以技术制约和对农业影响的关切为由,为这一变化辩护。 New Zealand’s Climate Minister Simon Watts defended the change, citing technological constraints and concerns about agricultural impacts, while reaffirming commitment to international climate goals.
