中國碳排放量將於2030年到達峯值

China's greenhouse gas emissions are likely to peak by 2030 or perhaps earlier, taking into account the needs of industrialization and urbanization, the country's special representative on climate change said on Monday.

中國氣候變化事務特別代表在週一表示，考慮到工業化、城市化發展的需要，中國溫室氣體排放量可能在2030年或更早到達峯值。

"It is reasonable for China to set the peak target for around 2030 and we will try our best to achieve it a bit earlier," said Xie Zhenhua, who also serves as a national political adviser.

擔任國家政治顧問的解振華表示：“將峯值設置在大約2030年，這對中國來說是合理的，我們也將竭盡全力更早實現這一點。”

China appeared to hit a carbon dioxide emissions peak in 2014, and the level then fell in 2015, according to a study by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics, according to a report from Reuters.

據路透社報道，根據倫敦政治經濟學院的格蘭瑟姆氣候變化與環境研究所的一項報告顯示，中國的碳排放可能已在2014年達到峯值。

But Xie said he has noted that several agencies have recently issued reports concluding that the global emission of carbon dioxide has stopped growing because of a weak world economy and efforts taken by many countries in 2015, and that China was a major factor.

但是解振華表示，他已經注意到了，一些機構最近發佈報告總結稱，全球碳排放量已經停止增長是由於在2015年許多國家做出了相應的努力以及世界經濟的疲軟，並且稱中國是主要因素，

"But we did not reach the peak in 2014," Xie said at a news conference of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on Monday.

解振華在週一召開的中國人民政治協商會議全國委員會的新聞發佈會上表示：“但是中國在2014年並沒有達到峯值。”

China plans to complete that industrialization by 2020 and its urbanization drive, and population growth are both likely to be stable by around 2030, he said.

他說道，中國計劃到2020年完成工業化，在大約2030年使得城市化驅動和人口增長實現穩定發展。

To achieve the peak as planned, China has taken a series of steps to slow down the growth of emissions. China will continue to increase energy efficiency, develop non-fossil fuels, expand forests and adjust its industrial structure.

爲了實現峯值目標，中國已經採取了一系列措施來減緩排放增長速度。中國還將繼續提高能源利用率，發展非化石燃料，擴大森林面積，調整產業結構。
