COP31首次举行城市韧性高级别对话:联合国人居署负责人称住房须成为气候行动核心,全球多达30亿人缺适当住房

第31届联合国气候变化大会(COP31)领导人峰会11月12日在土耳其 Antalya 举行高级别对话,主题是城市韧性、适应与气候行动。这是联合国气候大会历史上第一次在领导人峰会上举行这样的对话。
联合国人居署执行主任 Anacláudia Rossbach 代表联合国秘书长古特雷斯在会上发言。她说:「住房就是气候行动。城市规划就是气候行动。获得基本服务就是气候行动。」她表示,各国已经作出了重要的气候承诺,现在到了兑现的时候,而答案的很大一部分在城市:住房、交通、土地和基本服务方面的决定,同时塑造着排放水平和人们抵御气候冲击的能力,把适当住房放在优先位置、改造非正规住区、加强城市韧性,必须成为气候行动的中心。
据联合国数据,全球多达30亿人缺乏适当住房,10多亿人住在非正规住区,往往暴露在洪水、山体滑坡和极端高温之下。联合国人居署的最新分析显示,各国气候计划中已有80%包含成形的城市措施,高于上一轮的50%;但城市到2030年每年需要约4.5万亿美元气候投资,目前的融资只覆盖约五分之一。
这场对话由 COP31 主席国土耳其与联合国人居署共同召集,1,000多人与会,包括国家元首和政府首脑、市长与气候金融界领袖。100多个国家的领导人支持了《安塔利亚能效建筑紧凑》,定下2035年两项目标:把全球建筑存量的运行能耗强度降低25%,并加快建筑领域的高效电气化。COP31 主席 Murat Kurum 说,气候行动必须落在人们生活的地方。

COP31 Holds Its First High-Level Dialogue on Cities: UN-Habitat Chief Says Housing Must Sit at the Heart of Climate Action, With Up to 3 Billion People Lacking Adequate Housing
Leaders at the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye, held a high-level dialogue on urban resilience, adaptation and climate action on November 12. It was the first time a UN climate conference had dedicated such a dialogue at its leaders' summit.
Anacláudia Rossbach, Executive Director of UN-Habitat, delivered remarks on behalf of UN Secretary-General António Guterres. "Housing is climate action. Urban planning is climate action. Access to basic services is climate action," she said. Countries had made important climate commitments and it was now time to deliver, she said, and a large part of the answer lies in cities, where decisions on housing, transport, land and basic services shape both emissions and people's ability to withstand climate shocks. Prioritising adequate housing, transforming informal settlements and strengthening urban resilience must be central to climate action.
According to the United Nations, up to three billion people lack adequate housing, while more than one billion live in informal settlements, often exposed to floods, landslides and extreme heat. A new UN-Habitat analysis found that 80 per cent of national climate plans now contain well-developed urban measures, up from 50 per cent in the previous round, while cities need about $4.5 trillion in climate investment each year through 2030 and current financing covers only about one-fifth of that.
The dialogue was convened by the COP31 Presidency and UN-Habitat and drew more than 1,000 participants, including heads of state and government, mayors and climate finance leaders. More than 100 national leaders endorsed the Antalya Compact for Energy Efficient Buildings, setting two targets for 2035: a 25 per cent cut in the operational energy intensity of the global building stock, and faster take-up of efficient electric systems in buildings. COP31 President Murat Kurum said climate action has to deliver where people live.
