In the 30 years since the world began negotiating the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, no one has identified exactly where all that pollution is coming from. That will begin to change next week when Climate TRACE (Tracking Real-Time Atmospheric Carbon Emissions)-a nonprofit coalition of artificial intelligence (AI) specialists, data scientists, researchers, and nongovernmental organizations-releases the first facility-level inventory of the largest known individual sources of the 162 million tons of GHG pollution emitted into the troposphere every day. With thousands of businesses, banks, investors, and 88 nation-states committed to reducing emissions to net zero by 2050, comprehensively tracking progress toward that goal is essential. This is especially important given last week's United Nations Emissions Gap Report indicating that the world is far behind pace for reducing emissions by 2030.
自全球开始谈判减少温室气体(GHG)排放的 30 年来,一直没有人能确切指出所有这些污染来自何处。下周,情况将开始改变,届时非营利性人工智能(AI)专家、数据科学家、研究人员和非政府组织联盟 Climate TRACE(实时大气碳排放追踪)将发布首份关于 1.62 亿吨 GHG 污染最大已知单个排放源的设施层面清单,这些污染每天都会排放到对流层中。有成千上万的企业、银行、投资者和 88 个国家承诺到 2050 年将排放量减少到净零,全面跟踪实现这一目标至关重要。鉴于上周联合国排放差距报告显示,世界在 2030 年前减少排放的速度远远落后,这一点尤为重要。
