How clean energy transitions can help kick-start economies
清洁能源转型如何推动经济发展How clean energy transitions can help kick-start economies
An invitation to make energy efficiency and renewables central to the
economic recovery
The Covid-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented global emergency
around the world, with governments focused on protecting the health, safety
and well-being of their citizens. Countries are in lockdown, and financial and
economic safeguards are being erected to prevent even greater turmoil. Looking
further forwards, the world faces an enormous task getting people back to work
and reigniting the engines of economic growth.
Around the world, leaders are getting ready now, drawing up massive
economic stimulus packages. Some of these plans will provide short-term boosts,
others will shape infrastructure for decades to come. We believe that by making
clean energy an integral part of their plans, governments can deliver jobs and
economic growth while also ensuring that their energy systems are modernised,
more resilient and less polluting.
Global confinement has halted travel and transport, causing a severe shock
to energy systems. As a result, it is likely that global carbon dioxide emissions
will decline this year. But that will not be anything to celebrate. What matters is
putting emissions into structural decline. For that, we will need clean energy to
play a central role in recovery efforts. This is an inter-generational opportunity,
where smart economic planning can enable us to put the world on track to meet
our climate commitments, including the Paris Agreement. We need to make the
key pillars of energy transitions - such as energy efficiency, renewables and
battery storage - top priorities for creating jobs, improving critical infrastructure
and driving innovation.
一封关于能效与可再生能源成为经济
复苏核心的邀请函
新型冠状病毒爆发在全球范围内造成了前所未
有的影响，各国政府致力于保护本国公民的健康、
安全与福祉。各国处于封锁状态，金融和经济保障
措施正在组建，以防止更大的动荡。展望未来，世
界面临着一项艰巨任务——即复工和重燃经济增长
引擎。
在世界各地，各国领导人正在全力应对，制定
大规模的经济刺激计划。其中一些计划旨在短期提
振，另一些计划将构建数十年的基础设施。我们相
信，将清洁能源纳入计划之中，政府可以增加就业
机会，推动经济增长，同时确保其能源结构实现现
代化、灵活性更强而污染更少。
全球范围内的封闭阻断了交通和运输，对能
源系统造成严重冲击。因此，今年全球二氧化碳排
放量很有可能下降。但这并不值得庆贺，关键是使
得排放量在结构上下降。为此，我们需要清洁能源
在经济复苏中发挥核心作用。这是一个代际机遇，
明智的经济计划使世界可以步入我们既定的气候承
诺（包括《巴黎协定》）轨迹。我们需要将能源转
型的关键支柱（如能源效率、可再生能源和电池储
能）作为增加就业、改善关键基础设施和推动创新
的重中之重。
new energy technology is developping fast! 我只是路过打酱油的。
