论欧盟的气候治理责任

On the European Union’s Responsibility on Climate Governance

本文以角色理论为视角,对欧盟的气候政策进行了分析。一方面,美国对《巴黎协定》的执行意愿有所减弱;另一方面,新兴经济体的二氧化碳排放量大幅增加,导致历史累积排放量排名的变化。上述两种趋势要求欧盟在气候政策方面扮演中心角色。虽然在《京都议定书》的谈判过程中发挥了领导作用,但欧盟目前需要推动减缓气候变化的便利化、南方国家的适应性努力以及聚焦新兴经济体的"碳中和"发展。

This paper analyzes the European Union’s climate policy from a perspective of the role theory.It argues that two trends,that is,the United States’diminished willingness to participate in the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the substantial increase in CO2 emissions in the emerging economies,including China,which has brought about a shift in cumulative historical emissions,necessitate that the EU play a pivot role in international climate policy.While the EU has taken on leadership functions during the Kyoto Protocol negotiation process,its efforts will now have to be complemented by facilitating climate mitigation and adaptation efforts in the South and focusing on the carbon neutral development in the emerging economies.
