二、译前准备之主题知识准备
a、The Kyoto protocol The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan on 11 December 1997 and entered in to force on 16 February 2005.It is a protocol to the United Nation Framework Convention on climate Change(UNFCCC or FCCC).And this protocol aimed at fighting global warming.The UNFCCC is an international environmental treaty with the goal of achieving the “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.The main objective is to contain emiions of the main anthropogenic greenhouse gases in ways that reflect underlying national differences in GHG emiions, wealth, and capacity to make the reductions.The ultimate objective of the UNFCCC is the “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.The developed countries are principally responsible for the current high levels of GHG emiions in the atmosphere as a result of more than 150 years of industrial activity;the Protocol places a heavier burden on developed nations under the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities.” Under this principle the developing country take the duty to emiion GHG without legally binding.http://unfccc.int/kyoto_protocol/items/2830.php
b、Canada pulled out of the Kyoto Protocol The drop of Canada had made a symbolic blow to the troubled global treaty since it is the first country to formally withdraw from Kyoto, which it says is badly flawed because it does not cover all major emitters of greenhouse gaes.The news came as little surprise, especially since the right-of-center conservatives took power in 2006 and made it clear they would not stick to Canada’s Kyoto commitments.They didn’t agree to extend the protocol due to the enormous financial penalties.This announcement will affect the reputation of Canada as an international renegade on the climate.Green group awarded the country their foil of rhe year award for its performance in Durban.Many environmentalists blasted this items that they think catastrophic climate change will cost them far more than they saved today.http://news.xinhuanet.com/world/2011-12/13/c_111238068.htm
c、Bonn climate talks: EU plays down talk of Kyoto protocol rift
Officials insist agreement can be reached despite row over length of new Kyoto deal EU wants to extend the extension of the Kyoto protocol before it lapses at the end of this year In return for an agreement from all nations that a new binding treaty will be finalized by 2015 and enacted by 2020.The developing country insisting the treaty should continue to be enforced over five-year commitment periods.And the least developed country and the alliance for small island states warned that an eight-year commitment would allow industrialized nations to delay action to curb emiions.US, Japan, Ruia, and Canada, have signaled they will not sign up to an extension of Kyoto, while large emerging economies will only sign up to an agreement that does not impose binding emiion reduction targets on them.EU finance ministers had only delivered a vague pledge to “work in a constructive manner towards the identification of a path for scaling up climate finance from 2013 to 2020”.Developing countries are fearful that with industrialized nations facing increasingly severe budget deficits there could be a funding gap for green projects after the current commitment to provide up to $30 billion of “fast-track” climate funding lapses in 2013.http://www.daodoc.com/listen/5951/###
