世界銀行(World Bank)近日在一份新報(bào)告中表示，數(shù)萬億美元被浪費(fèi)在了對(duì)化石燃料、農(nóng)業(yè)和漁業(yè)的補(bǔ)貼上，而這些補(bǔ)貼本可以用來應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化

世界銀行建議，政府對(duì)化石燃料的5770億美元補(bǔ)貼可以重新定向，用于更具生產(chǎn)力和可持續(xù)性的解決方案

根據(jù)這份報(bào)告，各國在可再生能源和低碳發(fā)展方面補(bǔ)貼支出約為其承諾的6倍

據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)2023年6月16日?qǐng)?bào)道，世界銀行(World Bank)近日在一份新報(bào)告中表示，將5770億美元的政府化石燃料補(bǔ)貼重新定向，可以釋放出至少5000億美元的資金，用于更可持續(xù)的用途。

世界銀行呼吁停止將數(shù)萬億美元浪費(fèi)在農(nóng)業(yè)、漁業(yè)和化石燃料補(bǔ)貼上，并將其用于幫助應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化，而不是危害人類和地球。

世界銀行的題為《脫癮發(fā)展：重新利用對(duì)環(huán)境有害的補(bǔ)貼》的報(bào)告發(fā)現(xiàn)，政府對(duì)農(nóng)業(yè)、漁業(yè)和化石燃料的直接補(bǔ)貼加起來每年約為1.25萬億美元——相當(dāng)于墨西哥這樣大型經(jīng)濟(jì)體的規(guī)模。

報(bào)告稱，“直接或明確補(bǔ)貼，加上對(duì)化石燃料、農(nóng)業(yè)和漁業(yè)的隱性補(bǔ)貼，每年超過7萬億美元，約占全球國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值(GDP)的8%”。

隱性補(bǔ)貼——一種衡量補(bǔ)貼對(duì)人類和地球影響的指標(biāo)——每年超過6萬億美元，負(fù)擔(dān)主要落在非富裕群體身上。

世界銀行表示：“為了補(bǔ)貼化石燃料消費(fèi)，各國每年的支出大約是它們根據(jù)《巴黎協(xié)定》承諾的可再生能源和低碳發(fā)展資金的6倍。”

世界銀行表示：“重新調(diào)整這些補(bǔ)貼的方向，至少可以釋放出5000億美元資金，用于更具生產(chǎn)力和可持續(xù)性的用途。”

世界銀行高級(jí)常務(wù)董事Axel van Trotsenburg評(píng)論說：“人們說沒有錢用于氣候，但其實(shí)有——只是錢投錯(cuò)了地方。”

“如果我們能重新定向浪費(fèi)在補(bǔ)貼上的數(shù)萬億美元，把它們用于更好、更環(huán)保的用途，我們就能共同應(yīng)對(duì)地球上許多最緊迫的挑戰(zhàn)。”Trotsenburg如是說。

World Bank Calls For Fossil Fuel Subsidies To Be Redirected

·     In a new report, the World Bank says that trillions of dollars are wasted on subsidies for fossil fuels, agriculture, and fisheries that could be used to address climate change.

·     The World Bank suggests $577 billion in government subsidies for fossil fuels could be redirected for more productive and sustainable solutions.

·     According to the report, countries spend about six times what they pledged to spend on renewable energies and low-carbon development on fossil fuel subsidies.

Redirecting the $577 billion in government subsidies for fossil fuels could unlock at least half a trillion dollars that could be put to more sustainable uses, the World Bank said in a new report.

The bank is calling for trillions of U.S. dollars stop being wasted on subsidies for agriculture, fisheries, and fossil fuels and be used to help address climate change instead of harming people and the planet.  

The World Bank’s report, Detox Development: Repurposing Environmentally Harmful Subsidies, found that direct government subsidies for agriculture, fishing, and fossil fuels combined are around $1.25 trillion a year—around the size of a big economy such as Mexico.  

Direct, or explicit subsidies, combined with implicit subsidies for fossil fuels, agriculture, and fisheries, exceed $7 trillion annually, which is around 8% of global gross domestic product (GDP), according to the report.

Implicit subsidies – a measure of the subsidies’ impact on people and the planet - amount to over $6 trillion a year and the burden fall mostly on the poor.

“To subsidize fossil fuel consumption, countries spend about six times what they pledged to mobilize annually under the Paris Agreement for renewable energies and low-carbon development,” the World Bank said.

“Redirecting these subsidies could unlock at least half a trillion dollars towards more productive and sustainable uses,” the bank says.

Axel van Trotsenburg, Senior Managing Director of the World Bank, commented, “People say that there isn’t money for climate but there is – it’s just in the wrong places.”

“If we could repurpose the trillions of dollars being spent on wasteful subsidies and put these to better, greener uses, we could together address many of the planet’s most pressing challenges.”
