Abstract

Capacity building is recognized as one of three means of implementation (MOI) within the Paris Agreement, along with finance and technology. There is a good reason for this, namely that all aspects of climate action require multiple forms of capacity. In fact, it could be argued that capacity is foundational even to the other two MOIs as advancing both finance and technology requires a variety of capacities across multiple specific contexts. The Global Stocktake (GST) recognized the importance of capacity building for the achievement of the Paris Agreement and included its assessment within its evaluation of progress. However, unlike the other two MOIs, no chapter within the IPCC AR6 explicitly attempts to synthesize the state of knowledge about capacity or capacity building for climate action, and coverage of capacity remains scattered across the report. In this commentary we briefly reflect on the coverage of capacity and capacity building in the IPCC’s AR6 and develop some initial proposals for how knowledge about this key MOI could be better included in future assessment processes.

行动缺失:政府间气候变化专门委员会第六次评估报告中的能力和能力建设问题
在《巴黎协定》中,能力建设与资金和技术一起被视为三种实施手段(MOI)之一。这是有充分理由的,即气候行动的各个方面都需要多种形式的能力。事实上,可以说能力甚至对其他两个实施手段也是基础性的,因为推进资金和技术都需要在多种具体情况下具备各种能力。全球评估(GST)认识到了能力建设对实现《巴黎协定》的重要性,并将其评估纳入了对进展的评价中。然而,与其他两份 MOI 不同的是,IPCC 第六次评估报告中没有一章明确尝试综合有关气候行动能力或能力建设的知识状况,对能力的论述仍然散见于报告中。在这篇评论中,我们简要反思了 IPCC 第六次评估报告中对能力和能力建设的论述,并就如何在未来的评估过程中更好地纳入有关这一关键监测指标的知识提出了一些初步建议。

期刊介绍: Climatic Change is dedicated to the totality of the problem of climatic variability and change - its descriptions, causes, implications and interactions among these. The purpose of the journal is to provide a means of exchange among those working in different disciplines on problems related to climatic variations. This means that authors have an opportunity to communicate the essence of their studies to people in other climate-related disciplines and to interested non-disciplinarians, as well as to report on research in which the originality is in the combinations of (not necessarily original) work from several disciplines. The journal also includes vigorous editorial and book review sections.
