天主教团体在安塔利亚COP31促气候行动:吁落实每年3,000亿美元气候资金、以赠款为主

正在土耳其 Antalya 出席第31届联合国气候变化大会(COP31)的天主教团体近日呼吁各国把工作重心从再作新承诺转向落实既有承诺,加快淘汰化石燃料并向受气候影响的社区交付资金。COP31由土耳其与澳大利亚共同主办,会期12天,任务是落实2015年《巴黎协定》。
天主教会的人道网络 Caritas Internationalis 在声明中表示,COP31可以成为一个转折点,让世界从认识危机转向以紧迫与团结回应危机。天主教气候与环境行动者网络列出七项重点优先事项,该网络与梵蒂冈代表团在历届气候大会上协作。

Catholic Groups Press for Climate Action at COP31 in Antalya: Deliver $300 Billion a Year in Climate Finance, Mainly as Grants
Catholic organizations attending the United Nations climate change summit COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, have urged countries to refocus on phasing out fossil fuels and delivering funds to communities facing climate impacts. COP31, co-hosted by Turkey and Australia, runs for 12 days and is tasked with enacting the 2015 Paris Agreement.
Caritas Internationalis, the Church's humanitarian network, said in a statement that COP31 can be the moment the world moves from recognising the crisis to responding with the urgency and solidarity it demands. Both goals were included among the seven key priorities outlined by the Network of Catholic Climate and Environment Actors, which collaborates with the Vatican delegation at the climate conferences.
The groups called specifically on developed countries to deliver on the past pledge to mobilize $300 billion annually in climate finance, and as much as $1.3 trillion, primarily in the form of grants instead of loans that push developing countries further into debt.
