Abstract

By the end of 2015, we will see a new global development agenda which will substitute the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). If we look at the years after the adoption of the MDGs, there is no doubt that the development goals have been successful in focusing governments’ attention on poverty eradication, by setting clear outcome indicators and uniting humanity behind a targeted principle. However, despite a goal devoted to ensuring environmental sustainability (MDG7), one of the criticisms of the MDGs has been insufficient attention to the climate issues. Currently, the question of whether climate change is happening is low on the agenda. The world is facing an increasingly volatile and extreme climate, which is impacting the poorest the first and the most. Climate change acts as a ‘risk multiplier’, increasing socio-economic, political, demographic, and resource pressures. It is challenging the economic paradigm that treats the environment and climate change separately. The global climate can now be seen as a crucial public good under threat, as important as the issues of food security, health, and peace.
在2015年后发展议程中定位气候融资
到2015年底,我们将看到一个新的全球发展议程,取代千年发展目标。如果我们回顾千年发展目标通过后的这些年,毫无疑问,这些发展目标通过设定明确的成果指标和将人类团结在一个有针对性的原则下,成功地将各国政府的注意力集中在消除贫困上。然而,尽管有一个致力于确保环境可持续性的目标(MDG7),但对千年发展目标的批评之一是对气候问题的关注不够。目前,气候变化是否正在发生的问题在议程上处于次要地位。世界正面临着日益动荡和极端的气候,这对最贫穷的人造成了最严重的影响。气候变化是一个“风险乘数”,增加了社会经济、政治、人口和资源压力。它正在挑战将环境和气候变化分开对待的经济模式。全球气候现在可以被视为一项受到威胁的关键公共产品,与粮食安全、健康与和平问题一样重要。
