英国首相在COP31正式任命全球首位气候安全特别代表，宣布支持Amplify计划筹集50亿英镑清洁能源资金
英国首相 Andy Burnham 11月12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）上发表讲话，正式宣布任命 Madeleine Alessandri 为英国首位气候安全特别代表，并表示「气候是国家安全问题」。英国外交、联邦与发展事务部同日在 GOV.UK 首次发布这一新设职位的职责文件。本篇记入英国站纪事。
Burnham 说，他就任首相的头三个星期都在应对英国有记录以来最严重的山火，这促使他亲自来到安塔利亚，显示英国在气候问题上的领导作用。他说，气候危机不是遥远的威胁，它已经来到所有人面前，正在摧毁各地的生命与生计。他在讲话中正式宣布上述任命，称这是英国把气候列为国家安全议题的明证。
Alessandri 于2023年至2026年7月担任英国联合情报委员会主席，此前担任北爱尔兰事务部常务次官与副国家安全顾问，1988年进入政府服务，曾在外交与国家安全系统多岗位任职。据美联社报道，她在声明中表示，将在新岗位上与政府内外的伙伴及国际伙伴合作，加深对气候威胁的理解、增强韧性，确保英国为未来的挑战做好更充分的准备。
按 GOV.UK 公布的职责文件，气候安全特别代表将向外交大臣汇报，支持各位大臣推动英国在气候与自然安全领域的领导作用，汇聚各方力量、提高全球雄心并加快英国战略目标的进展。其具体目标包括：把气候变化与自然丧失作为国家安全风险纳入英国决策体系，包括与国家安全委员会的工作对接；推动并支持应急预案；在国际上推广英国的专业能力与领导作用；提高各国对气候变化所带来的国家安全后果的认识。
Burnham 在讲话中重申英国致力于实现2050年净零排放目标，并支持本届大会聚焦电气化。他说，依赖不受自己控制的能源，就会暴露在不受自己控制的价格之下，转向清洁能源是实现能源安全的唯一途径，电气化还能创造就业并降低民众的能源账单。他举例说，英国11日已批准两个大型海上风电项目，将带来数十亿英镑投资、为数百万家庭供电并支持数千个就业岗位；位于南威尔士的一座政府出资电弧炉是欧洲最大的同类设施之一，将保住5,000名钢铁工人的岗位；Rolls-Royce 正把小型模块化反应堆技术推向世界。
Burnham 还宣布英国支持气候投资基金的 Amplify 计划，该计划的目标是为世界各地的清洁能源项目筹集50亿英镑新的私人资金。他说，伦敦金融城擅长把少量公共资金转化为可观的私人投资。在上周的英联邦政府首脑会议之后，他说，英国明年担任二十国集团主席国时，将把气候韧性重新列入议程，债务、发展与保险是重点议题，英国还将继续支持保护热带森林与海洋。
这一任命的背景是英国政府今年早些时候发布的一份评估：据美联社报道，该评估警告，气候变化等因素造成的生态系统破坏可能扰乱粮食供应、助长冲突与移民，而英国约四成的食品依赖进口。COP31 定于11月20日结束，英国气候大臣 Katie White 正在安塔利亚参会。

UK PM Formally Appoints First Climate Security Special Representative at COP31 and Backs GBP 5bn Amplify Clean Energy Finance Drive
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham formally announced the appointment of Madeleine Alessandri as the first UK Special Representative for Climate Security in a speech to the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, on November 12, declaring that "climate is a national security issue." The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office published the terms of reference for the new role on GOV.UK for the first time the same day. This report is filed as a chronicle for the UK station.
Burnham said he had spent his first three weeks as Prime Minister responding to the worst wildfires Britain has ever experienced, which had led him to come to Antalya in person to show British leadership on climate. The climate crisis, he said, is not a distant threat but is upon everyone now, devastating lives and livelihoods everywhere. He formally announced the appointment in the speech as evidence that Britain treats climate as a national security issue.
Alessandri chaired the UK Joint Intelligence Committee from 2023 to July 2026 and previously served as Permanent Secretary for the Northern Ireland Office and as Deputy National Security Adviser. She joined government service in 1988 and has held a wide range of posts in the Diplomatic Service and in national security. According to the Associated Press, she said in a statement that in the role she would work with partners across government and internationally to strengthen understanding of climate threats, build resilience and ensure Britain is better prepared for the challenges ahead.
Under the terms published on GOV.UK, the Special Representative for Climate Security will report to the Foreign Secretary and will support ministers to champion UK leadership on climate and nature security, building influence, bringing actors together, raising global ambition and accelerating progress on UK strategic objectives. Her objectives include embedding consideration of climate change and nature loss as national security risks into the UK system, including engagement with the National Security Council; stimulating and supporting contingency planning; championing UK expertise and leadership internationally; and raising international awareness of the national security consequences of climate change for all countries.
Burnham reaffirmed in the speech that Britain is committed to meeting its 2050 net zero target and backed the summit's focus on electrification. Depending on energy Britain does not control leaves it exposed to prices it cannot control, he said, and the shift to clean energy is the only route to energy security, while electrification also creates jobs and lowers people's bills. He noted that on November 11 the UK had given the green light to two major offshore wind projects that will bring billions of pounds of investment, power millions of homes and support thousands of jobs; that a government-funded electric arc furnace in South Wales, one of the largest in Europe, will secure 5,000 steel workers' jobs; and that Rolls-Royce is taking small modular reactor technology around the world.
Burnham also announced UK support for the Climate Investment Funds' Amplify programme, which will aim to secure 5 billion pounds of new private finance for clean energy projects around the world. The City of London, he said, has become adept at taking a modest amount of public funding and converting it into significant sums of private investment. As the UK takes up the presidency of the G20 next year, he said, it will put climate resilience back on the agenda, with debt, development and insurance as key issues, and Britain will maintain its support to preserve tropical forests and oceans.
The appointment follows a British government assessment earlier this year which, according to the Associated Press, warned that damage to ecosystems, driven partly by climate change, could disrupt food supplies and fuel conflict and migration, in a country that imports about 40 percent of its food. COP31 is scheduled to end on November 20, and UK climate minister Katie White is in Antalya for the talks.
