科學家警告：現在就加快適應氣候變遷，否則有付出「龐大代價」之虞
◎管淑平
More than 3,000 scientists called for a
far bigger global push to protect people and nature from the effects of a
heating planet.
3000多名科學家呼籲全球大幅加強保護人們和自然環境，免於遭受一個正愈加炎熱地球的效應之害。
In a statement, the scientists - including
five Nobel laureates - warned that a failure to respond to rising climate
risks, as governments try to revive their economies from coronavirus woes,
would have severe consequences, especially for the poorest.
這批包括5名諾貝爾獎得主的科學家在聲明中警告，在各個政府設法重振受武漢肺炎疫情拖累的經濟之際，未能回應日益高漲的氣候風險，會有嚴重後果，特別是對最貧窮族群。
"Building resilience to climate
impacts is not a nice-to-have... it is a must if we are to live in a
sustainable and secure world," said former U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon. （Thomson Reuters Foundation）
「如果我們要在一個生生不息且安全的世界中生活，打造對氣候衝擊的適應力，並非可有可無…而是必須」，全球適應中心主席、前聯合國秘書長潘基文說。（湯森路透基金會）
