土耳其在气候峰会、健康和气候目标恶化之前扩大污染煤炭厂。 Turkey expands polluting coal plant ahead of climate summit, worsening health and climate goals.

土耳其正在扩大高度污染的Afsin-Elbistan煤炭厂,该厂从褐煤中产生2,795兆瓦的煤炭,尽管土耳其准备主办一次以结束化石燃料使用为重点的联合国气候峰会(COP31)。 Turkey is expanding the highly polluting Afsin-Elbistan coal plant, which generates 2,795 megawatts from lignite coal, despite preparing to host COP31, a UN climate summit focused on ending fossil fuel use. 这一扩大计划将增加两个新单元,已引起人们对附近的Cogulhan村空气质量恶化的警报,那里的污染已超过卫生组织和土耳其的安全限度好几次,导致广泛的呼吸道疾病、癌症和大规模迁移。 The expansion, set to add two new units, has raised alarms over worsening air quality in nearby Cogulhan village, where pollution exceeds WHO and Turkish safety limits by several times, leading to widespread respiratory illnesses, cancer, and mass migration. 与土耳其2053年的净零承诺相矛盾的是,环保人士和卫生专家警告该项目可能会造成数以千计的更多过早死亡和数十亿的医疗费用。 Environmentalists and health experts warn the project could cause thousands of additional premature deaths and billions in health costs, contradicting Turkey’s 2053 net-zero pledge. 居民报告每日接触有毒尘埃, 批评者则表示此举有损气候公信力, Residents report daily exposure to toxic dust, and critics say the move undermines the country’s climate credibility.
