盖茨基金会认捐了1.4B美元,以帮助非洲和南亚的小农适应气候变化。 The Gates Foundation pledged $1.4B to help smallholder farmers in Africa and South Asia adapt to climate change.

比尔和梅林达·盖茨基金会在四年内认捐14亿美元,帮助撒哈拉以南非洲和南亚的小农户适应气候变化,巴西的COP30宣布了这一承诺。 The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged $1.4 billion over four years to help smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia adapt to climate change, announced at COP30 in Brazil. 这笔资金将扩大获得数字咨询服务、抗旱作物、土壤健康改善和生物肥料等气候智能技术的机会,目的是增强抵御极端天气的能力、保护粮食安全和支持可持续农业。 The funding will expand access to climate-smart technologies like digital advisory services, drought-resistant crops, soil health improvements, and biofertilizers, aiming to boost resilience against extreme weather, protect food security, and support sustainable agriculture. 目前全球气候融资的不到1%是针对粮食系统的,尽管小农户生产了世界三分之一的粮食。 Less than 1% of global climate finance currently targets food systems, despite smallholders producing one-third of the world’s food. 该举措以AI-动力天气警报和超地方预报等经证实的方案为基础,研究显示,每投资1美元,收益可超过10美元。 The initiative builds on proven programs such as AI-powered weather alerts and hyper-local forecasts, with research indicating every dollar invested could yield over $10 in returns. 基金会领导人强调,适应既是一种经济需要,也是一种道德需要,警告气候影响可能使非洲农业生产力到2050年减少20%,而无需采取紧急行动。 Foundation leaders stress adaptation is both an economic and moral necessity, warning climate impacts could reduce African agricultural productivity by up to 20% by 2050 without urgent action.
