日本等九国因领导人缺席COP31获「化石奖」:名单公布时全场嘘声一片

国际环保组织网络「气候行动网络」11月10日在土耳其安塔利亚举行的第31届联合国气候变化大会(COP31)会场,把讽刺性的「今日化石奖」颁给了日本、德国、法国、意大利、丹麦、瑞典、爱尔兰、荷兰与加拿大九国,理由是这九国的领导人缺席了大会的领导人峰会。名单公布时,与会者报以响亮的嘘声。
气候行动网络由130多个国家的环保组织组成,自1999年以来在每届联合国气候大会期间颁发这一奖项。该组织说,九国领导人的缺席向国际气候合作发出了「糟糕的信号」,这九国似乎已经认定 COP31 不值得他们到场,而领导人缺席可能拖慢谈判进程。
据共同社报道,日本首相高市早苗因日程原因缺席为期两天的领导人会议,这是日本首相连续第三年缺席联合国气候大会的领导人会议;七国集团领导人中,只有英国首相伯纳姆预计出席本次领导人峰会。新西兰已在11月9日因削减气候承诺先行获颁这一奖项,巴西则获得该组织的「今日阳光奖」。化石奖将在大会期间逐日颁发,大会定于11月20日闭幕。

Japan and Eight Other Countries Get 'Fossil of the Day' Award as Their Leaders Skip COP31, Drawing Boos
The Climate Action Network, an international network of environmental groups, on November 10 awarded its satirical "Fossil of the Day" prize to Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands and Canada at the COP31 UN climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye, because the leaders of the nine countries skipped the summit's leaders' meeting. The announcement drew loud boos from participants at the venue.
The network, which brings together environmental organizations from more than 130 countries, has presented the award during UN climate conferences since 1999. It said the absence of the nine leaders sent "a dismal signal" for international climate cooperation, that the nine countries appeared to have decided COP31 was no longer important enough to warrant their presence, and that the empty chairs could delay the progress of negotiations.
According to Kyodo News, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is absent from the two-day leaders' meeting for scheduling reasons, the third straight year a Japanese prime minister has skipped the leaders' meeting of the UN climate talks; among Group of Seven leaders, only British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is expected to attend. New Zealand received the award on November 9 over cuts to its climate commitments, while Brazil received the network's "Ray of the Day" award. The fossil award is presented daily during the conference, which runs until November 20.
