印媒: 世界银行称气候变化将降低6亿印度人的生活水平

Climate change will hit living standards of 600 million Indians: World Bank

世界银行：气候变化将降低6亿印度人的生活水平

NEW DELHI: Unchecked climate change will dent India’s GDP by 2.8 per cent and depress the living standards of nearly half the population by 2050, with people living in the severe “hotspot” districts of central India, particularly Vidarbha, staring at the prospect of an over 10 per cent dip in economic consumption.

新德里：尚未明确的气候变化将削弱印度的国内生产总值的2.8％，至2050年，有一半人口的生活水平会降低。居住在印度中部严重“热点”地区的人们，特别是维达巴，则有显著的10％的经济消费下降。

These are the findings of a first-of-its-kind World Bank study that quantifies the economic impacts of rising temperatures and changes in rainfall in different parts of the country due to global warming.

这些是世界银行首次进行的一项相关研究的结果，该研究量化了由于全球变暖导致该国不同地区气温上升和降雨量变化的经济影响。

The study, South Asia’s Hotspots, released on Thursday, projects a 2 per cent fall in the country’s GDP — in terms of per capita consumption expenditures — even if the 2015 Paris Agreement goals of containing global warming to 2 degrees C is achieved.

这项名为南亚热点的研究报告周四公布称，即使达到了2015年巴黎协议的目标将全球变暖控制在2摄氏度，就人均消费支出而言，该国的国内生产总值下降2％。

A 2.8 per cent drop in GDP, as projected in the business-as-usual scenario, will cost India $1.1 trillion by 2050. The loss in the severe hotspot districts, with an average 9.8 per cent drop in consumption, will amount to over $400 billion, the study says.

该研究称，按照一切如常的情况下，GDP下降2.8％将导致至2050年印度将花费1.1万亿美元。严重热点地区的平均消费下降9.8％，超过400美元的损失。

What is a climate hotspot? 什么是气候热点地区？

It's a location where gradual changes in average temperature and rainfall patterns will have negative impacts on living standards in future

这是一个平均气温和降雨模式的逐渐变化将来会对生活水平产生负面影响的地区。

The report finds that inland regions are at far higher risk of economic losses due to rising temperatures than coastal or hilly areas, with the maximum impact likely to be felt in central and north India. Among states, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh are projected to witness over 9 per cent dip in living standards by 2050 in the “carbon-intensive” or business-as-usual scenario.

报告认为，由于气温上升，内陆地区经济损失的风险远高于沿海或丘陵地区，最大的影响将出现 在印度中部和北部地区。Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh可预见在各州中，到2050年，若是“碳密集生产方式”或“一切照旧”， 会有9％的生活水平下降。

The Vidarbha region, a ground-zero of farm distress in the country, is projected to be in the centre of climate-related misery as well. Seven of the 10 major “hotspot” districts mentioned in the report, are in Vidarbha. In each of these districts, unchecked climate change could led to over 11 per cent dip in living standards by 2050.

维达巴地区是该国农业危机的一个中心点，预计也将成为气候苦难的中心。报告中提到的10个主要“热点”区中有7个在维达巴。在所有这些地区，到2050年，未确定的气候变化可能导致生活水平下降11％以上。

“Temperature rise is a slow-moving disaster that’s not talked about much,” said economist Muthukumara Mani, the lead author of the study. “A lot of focus of climate change studies is on extreme events so people tend to ignore these gradual changes happening for the last 50-60 years.”

该研究的首席作者，经济学家Muthukumara Mani说：“温度上升是一个缓慢的灾难，谈论的不是很多。 “气候变化研究的重点在于极端变化，因此人们往往忽视了过去50-60年间发生的这些微小变化。”

The effects of temperature rise could be substantial, with implications for agricultural productivity, health, migration and other factors, says the report. By 2050, annual average temperatures in India are estimated to increase 1-2 degrees C under the climate-sensitive scenario (where action is taken to curb emissions) and 1.5-3 degrees C under the carbon-intensive scenario.

该报告称，温度上升的影响可能很大，对农业生产力，健康，移民和其他因素都有影响。到2050年，根据气候敏感的情况（采取措施遏制排放），印度的年平均气温估计会上升1至2摄氏度，而在碳密集生产方式下，印度的年平均气温将上升1至3摄氏度。

The study analysed climate data in combination with household surveys to arrive at how changes in average weather are likely to affect living standards. It found that nearly 600 million people in India today live at places that will become moderate or severe hotspots by 2050 under the unchecked climate-change scenario.

该研究结合家庭调查分析了气候数据，以了解平均天气的变化如何影响生活水平。研究发现，在未确认的气候变化状况下，至2050年印度有将近6亿人生活将生活在中度或严重热点的地方。

“Our methodology has been extensively peer-reviewed, both inside and outside the World Bank. We are very confident of the robustness of the analysis,” Mani said.

“我们的方法已经在世界银行内外进行了广泛的同行评议。我们对分析的稳健性非常有信心，“Mani说。

The study has drawn up hotspot maps of India, 2050, based on both the carbon-intensive and climate-sensitive scenarios. The carbon-intensive scenario shows far more severe hotspots, places likely to see an over 8 per cent dip in living standards, underlining the huge economic losses India stands to avoid if the world takes action on GHGs.

该研究根据碳密集和气候敏感的情景制定了2050年的印度热点地图。碳密集型情景展现了更为严重的热点地区，这些地区的生活水平可能会下降8％以上，这表明如果世界对温室气体采取行动，印度将避免巨大的经济损失。

“Our work points the way for policymakers. They can choose to invest in areas that are more impacted by warming and make best use of their resources for climate change,” explained Mani.

“我们的工作为决策者指明了方向。他们可以选择投资于受气候变暖影响较大的地区，并充分利用其资源应对气候变化，“Mani解释道。

People worldwide need to become environmentally conscious. Indians need to think about overpopulation as well.

世界各地人民应该更有环保意识，印度人也需要考虑人口过剩问题。

 

Sanjoy Pandey

Scientists are warning about global warming and ecological imbalance since 50 60 years. But human response is poor to take corrective action.

自60年代以来，科学家们正在警告全球变暖和生态失衡。但是人类的反应很差，不能采取纠正措施。

Our British India now Turned into the colony of Government of India will never learn anything other than corruption which is blind enough to checkmate such changes.

Root cause of all the things is the massive corruption under which India is reeling and bleeding, and thus insensitivity of the policy makers or inducers at every level of politics, bureaucracy and judiciary.

英属印度现在成为印度受政服控制，除了贪污以外，不会学习其它任何东西，这种盲目足以遏制这种变化。

所有事情的根源在于印度大规模的腐败，印度在流血，不知所措。因此政治官僚和司法部门的政策制定者或引导者都缺乏敏感性。
