日美气候变化合作简报

 

April 14, 2013

 

The United States and Japan share the view that anthropogenic climate change represents a threat to the security and economic development of all nations. On the occasion of their meeting today in Tokyo, Secretary of State John Kerry and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida expressed serious concern about anthropogenic climate change and its worsening impacts.

 

美国和日本共同认为，人为气候变化构成对所有国家的安全和经济发展威胁。国务卿约翰·克里与日本外务大臣岸田文雄在今天的东京会晤中，对人为气候变化及其日趋恶化的影响表示严重关注。

 

Cooperative efforts between the United States and Japan demonstrate our shared commitment to advancing climate action in the multilateral context. Together we have promoted low-emissions development and supported those vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, a demonstration of our commitment to working to preserve our environment for our citizens, those of our international partners, and for our children and generations to come.

 

美国与日本两国的合作努力反映了我们在多边领域推进气候行动的共同承诺。我们携手推动了低排放发展，向那些易受气候变化影响的国家提供支持，这反映出我们为了我们的人民、我们的国际合作伙伴、以及我们的子孙后代努力保护环境的承诺。

 

To further our shared goals, we will hold a new bilateral dialogue, based on three pillars of cooperation: a new, ambitious, global, post-2020 international agreement to combat climate change, cooperation to advance low-emissions development in the world, and cooperation on constructing climate-resilient societies.

 

为了进一步促进我们的共同目标，我们将基于以下三项合作支柱举行新的双边对话：一项崭新、宏大、全球性的2020年后应对气候变化的国际协议，推进全球低排放发展的合作，以及构建适应气候变化的社会的合作。

 

Specifically, the United States and Japan seek to join with other partners, both bilaterally and multilaterally, in a renewed effort to craft an ambitious post-2020 agreement that is applicable to all countries.

 

具体而言，美国与日本寻求通过与其他合作伙伴的双边和多边合作，为制定一项宏大的、适用于所有国家的2020年后新协议而重新努力。

 

We plan to deepen our mutual engagement in advancing low-carbon growth. The U.S. and Japan expect to cooperate to develop and disseminate knowledge related to low carbon growth through the Low Emission Development Strategies Global Partnership and the East Asia Low Carbon Growth Partnership.

 

我们计划深化有关促进低碳增长的互动。美国与日本预期通过“低排放发展战略全球合作伙伴关系”和“东亚低碳增长合作伙伴关系”，合作开发及传播有关低碳增长的知识。

 

We are prepared to work together and with other partners on issues relating to climate risk reduction and adaptation planning to temper current and future climate impacts.

 

我们准备在减少气候风险、提高气候变化适应力的规划方面合作并与其他合作伙伴一起携手努力。

 

We are also collaborating on ways to mobilize private finance for action in developing countries and on reducing short-lived climate pollutants.

 

此外我们还在调动私人资金在发展中国家开展行动和减少短期气候污染物方面共同协作。

 

Moving forward, the governments of the United States and Japan intend to continue to treat climate change as an issue of high priority in the bilateral relationship as we work towards an ambitious and coordinated global response to this serious challenge.

展望未来，在我们努力为应对这一严峻挑战制定宏大、协调一致的全球性措施的同时，美国和日本政府计划继续将气候变化作为一项两国双边关系中的优先事项。
