《欧洲之声》就气候变化问题专访驻欧盟大使 Interview with H. E. Ambassador Song Zhe, Head of the Mission of the Peoples Republic of China to the European Union by the European Voice on Climate Change 2009年12月11日,中国驻欧盟使团团长宋哲大使就气候变化问题接受了欧盟专业媒体《欧洲之声》外事编辑安德鲁·加第纳专访。采访实录如下： 一、你如何看待气候变化问题？中方为应对气候变化采取了哪些措施？ 1. How do you look at climate change issues? What is Chinas response to climate change? 答：气候变化问题是全人类面临的重大挑战。这一问题需要综合、全面、历史地看待，需要各国通力合作，携手应对。 A: The issue of climate change is a major challenge facing the entire human race. This issue requires a comprehensive, all-dimensional and historical perspective. It requires all countries to cooperate and respond. 有些发达国家认为中国最近宣布的碳强度指标“并未体现足够的雄心”，甚至要求中国提高这一指标，这不是一个客观、公正的评价。中国是发展中国家，还有1.5亿贫困人口。同时，中国能源结构以煤为主，控制温室气体排放面临巨大压力和特殊困难。对于中国这样的发展中国家，要发展，能源需求和相应排放就必然有合理增长。应对气候变化不能以牺牲发展、延续贫困和落后为代价。 Some developed countries argue that Chinas carbon reduction intensity is not ambitious enough, and even demand an increase of Chinas target. Such argument is neither objective nor fair. China is a developing country, there are still 150 million people living in poverty. Meanwhile, Chinas energy structure is dominated by coal, and China faces huge pressure and special difficulty to control GHG emissions. For such a developing country like China, development will necessarily imply reasonable increase of energy demand and corresponding emissions. Tackling climate change should not sacrifice development, or continue poverty and backwardness. 有些发达国家大谈中国排放总量大，但却忘记了中国有13亿人口。2006年，中国13亿人排放了56亿吨二氧化碳，占全球排放总量的20%，而发达国家不到10亿人，却排放了约129亿吨，占全球排放总量的46%。基于发展和满足人民生活的基本需要，我们有必要维持一个合理的排放空间。总不可能要求中国在经济发展、能源消耗和相应排放方面只能享有发达国家百分之二十或三十的权利吧？ Some developed countries are talking about Chinas total emission, but they seem to forget that China has a 1.3 billion population. In 2006, 1.3 billion Chinese people emit 5.6 billion tons of CO2, accounting for 20% of the worlds total. Developed countries, with less than 1 billion people, emit about 12.9 billion tons, accounting for 46% of the worlds total. Be
