報告發(fā)現，目前有76種解決方案可以減緩氣候變化

We have all the solutions we need to avoid catastrophic warming, right now, claims a new report by Project Drawdown. And, not only are they easy to implement, they're far cheaper than doing nothing.

一份Project Drawdown的報告稱，我們現在已經有了避免災難性氣候變暖所需的所有解決方案。而且，它們不僅容易實施，而且比什么都不做要便宜得多。

The Drawdown Review is a comprehensive analysis of the currently available solutions to the climate crisis, based on the work of scientists and researchers around the world, across many sectors, from finance to climate science.

這份《The Drawdown Review》的報告是對當前氣候危機可用解決方案的全面分析，其依據是世界各地從金融到氣候科學等多個領域的科學家和研究人員的工作。

The aim of the nonprofit Project Drawdown is to guide us all towards a future where the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to decline - the moment they refer to as 'drawdown'. That means we must start extracting fossil fuel emissions, such as CO2 and methane, from the atmosphere as well as stop spewing them into it.

這個非盈利項目的目的是引導我們走向一個未來，在這個未來，大氣中的溫室氣體將停止上升，并開始下降——也就是他們所說的“Drawdown”。這意味著我們必須開始從大氣中提取化石燃料排放，如二氧化碳和甲烷，并停止向大氣中排放。

"Drawdown is a critical turning point for life on Earth, and we must strive to reach it quickly, safely, and equitably," says the report.

報告說：“Drawdown是地球上生命的一個關鍵轉折點，我們必須努力迅速、安全、公平地實現這一目標。”

Having already lost an entire decade to inaction, and recently receiving a glimpse of some very frightening consequences - the devastating loss of wildlife from Australia's unprecedented summer of fires - the urgency of such solutions are surely clear.

在經歷了整整10年的無所作為之后，最近又看到了一些非?？膳碌暮蠊?mdash;—澳大利亞史無前例的夏季大火造成了野生動物的毀滅性損失——這些解決方案的緊迫性無疑是顯而易見的。

"The current path we are on is beyond dangerous," the report warns, "and it's easy to be paralyzed by that perilousness. Yet possibility remains to change it."

報告警告說：“我們目前所走的道路已經超出危險范圍，很容易被這種危險麻痹。但仍有可能改變它。”

Project Drawdown estimates that by implementing the 76 solutions they've outlined, it would result in savings of up to around US$144 trillion of avoided climate damage and pollution-related healthcare costs. While the upfront cost could be up to US$26.2 trillion, this plan would allow us to achieve peak carbon dioxide by as early as the mid-2040s.

Project Drawdown估計通過實施他們列出的76個解決方案，可以節(jié)省高達144萬億美元的氣候損害和污染相關的醫(yī)療成本。盡管前期成本可能高達26.2萬億美元，但這一計劃將使我們最早在本世紀40年代中期達到二氧化碳峰值。

When they scientists grouped their solutions by sector, they were ranked like this:

當科學家們將他們的解決方案按部門分組時，他們的排名如下：

Energy

能量

Food waste, agriculture, land rehabilitation

食物垃圾、農業(yè)、土地復墾

Industry

工業(yè)

Building efficiency

建筑效率

Transport

運輸

"We found that when we add together the 80-plus solutions to climate change, and these already exist, we have enough to get drawdown by between the 2040s and the 2060s depending on how decisively we act," co-author and climate scientist Jonathan Foley told the ABC.

“我們發(fā)現，當我們把80多個應對氣候變化的解決方案(這些方案已經存在)加在一起時，我們有足夠的時間在本世紀40年代到60年代之間減少溫室氣體排放，這取決于我們采取行動的果斷程度。”合著者、氣候科學家喬納森·福利(Jonathan Foley)在接受美國廣播公司(ABC)采訪時表示。
