Next week, negotiators from around the world will gather in Baku, Azerbaijan, for COP29, the annual climate negotiation organized by the United Nations to hammer out agreements for tackling the climate crisis. It is unofficially being called "The Finance COP" because particular focus will be placed on the financial commitments and mechanisms needed to mobilize the trillions of dollars required to address climate change globally. Such levels of investment sound implausible-but they are achievable, and if the world delays much longer, the economic and social losses will pale in comparison.
下周，来自世界各地的谈判代表将齐聚阿塞拜疆的巴库，参加第29届联合国气候变化大会（COP29），这是一年一度的气候谈判，旨在敲定应对气候危机的协议。此次会议被非正式地称为“金融气候大会”，因为会议将特别关注为全球应对气候变化筹集数万亿美元所需的资金承诺和机制。如此规模的投资听起来难以置信，但却是可以实现的。如果世界再拖延下去，经济和社会损失将与之相比相形见绌。
