德国总理默茨缺席安塔利亚气候大会引批评：生日当晚改与家人去意大利餐厅吃饭
柏林 — 德国总理默茨将缺席11月9日在土耳其安塔利亚开幕的联合国气候变化大会（COP31）。德国政府发言人只表示另有安排，被追问时没有给出具体理由。德国环境部长 Carsten Schneider 与发展部长 Reem Alabali Radovan 将代表德国出席为期两周的大会。
德国总理过去五年都出席了气候大会的领导人环节，默茨的缺席招致反对党与气候活动人士批评。绿党议会党团领袖 Katharina Dröge 说，这会向世界发出毁灭性的信号。气候活动人士 Luisa Neubauer 说，在经历创纪录高温的一年之后，缺席是绝对的禁忌突破，辜负了在气候危机中成长的年轻人。德国绿色和平组织称这次缺席令人难堪。
批评的焦点还落在默茨生日当天的安排上。据德国《威斯特法伦邮报》报道，默茨11月6日晚表示，他11月11日周三的71岁生日当晚，原定去柏林爱乐音乐厅听音乐会，现在改为与来访的妻子和女儿去一家意大利餐厅吃一顿好饭；当天的内阁会议仍会在上午举行。Neubauer 正是抓住这一点，指他缺席大会是「美丽意大利」式的缺席。
德国独立气候专家委员会此前指出，德国如果不采取额外措施，将无法实现2030年减排目标，这也让总理缺席本届大会更受质疑。

German Chancellor Merz Draws Criticism for Skipping Antalya Climate Summit: Birthday Dinner at an Italian Restaurant Instead
BERLIN — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will not attend the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31), which opens on November 9 in Antalya, Türkiye. A government spokesperson cited only other commitments and declined to give a specific reason when asked. Environment Minister Carsten Schneider and Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan will represent Germany at the two-week conference.
German chancellors have attended the climate conference's leaders' gathering for the past five years, and Merz's absence has drawn criticism from the opposition and climate activists. Katharina Dröge, parliamentary group leader of the Green Party, said it would send a devastating signal to the world. Climate activist Luisa Neubauer said that after a year of record heat, the absence was an absolute breach of taboo that abandoned young people in the climate crisis. Greenpeace Germany called the absence an embarrassment.
Criticism has also focused on Merz's plans for his birthday. According to the German newspaper Westfalenpost, Merz said on the evening of November 6 that on Wednesday, November 11, his 71st birthday, instead of attending a concert at the Berlin Philharmonic as originally planned, he would go for a nice meal at an Italian restaurant with his wife and daughter, who are coming to visit; a cabinet meeting is still scheduled that morning. Neubauer seized on the detail, calling his absence from the summit a 'Bella Italia' absence.
Germany's Independent Council of Experts on Climate Change has previously said the country is set to miss its 2030 emissions targets without additional measures, which has added to the scrutiny of the chancellor's decision to skip this year's conference.
