11月15日新西兰气候变化部消息,新西兰宣布将其对支持气候变化适应的全球努力的贡献增加五倍。

气候变化部长詹姆斯·肖(James Shaw)在埃及参加COP27时宣布向适应基金提供1500万纽币的新承诺。

“新西兰致力于支持那些资源最少的国家和社区来应对气候危机并从影响中恢复过来。这就是为什么本届政府13亿新西兰元的气候融资计划中至少有一半将用于支持气候韧性的项目,特别是在太平洋地区。

我们的大部分支持是通过直接与各国合作分配的。以这种方式开展工作意味着我们可以优先在太平洋地区最需要的地方提供支持。我今天宣布的内容将通过推动一个致力于帮助各国适应气候危机影响的全球基金来补充这一有针对性的工作。

我们与对太平洋地区的有针对性的支持相结合,对适应基金的捐款将在扩大全球对各国适应气候危机影响的支持方面发挥重要作用。

今天的宣布发出了一个重要信号,即本届政府致力于采取全球行动,支持社区建设安全和公平的未来。它强调了新西兰对快速有效地扩大其气候融资承诺的承诺。

去年,在格拉斯哥举行的第26届联合国气候变化大会(COP26)上,富裕的污染国家被敦促到2025年将适应资金在2019年的水平上翻一番。新西兰正在加紧迎接这一挑战”詹姆斯·肖说。

对适应基金的捐款是COP27前后宣布的第二次资助。在此之前,承诺为损失和损坏提供2000万纽币的专项资金。两者都是从2022-2025年13亿纽币的气候融资承诺中拨款。

适应基金是唯一致力于资助发展中国家适应项目和方案的多边气候基金。它成立于2007年,旨在为《京都议定书》缔约方的发展中国家的气候适应项目和方案提供资金。

自2010年以来,适应基金已为气候变化适应和复原力项目和计划拨款超过9.23亿纽币。这包括在发展中国家最脆弱社区开展的130多个项目,受益者达3300万人。



​ 15 November,NZ steps up with extra support for climate adaptation
New Zealand has announced a five-fold increase in its contribution to global efforts to support climate change adaptation.
The announcement of a new $15 million commitment to the Adaptation Fund was made while Climate Change Minister James Shaw is at COP27 in Egypt. 
“New Zealand is committed to supporting those countries and communities that have the fewest resources to respond and to recover from the impacts of the climate crisis. That is why at least half of this Government’s NZ$1.3 billion climate finance package will be targeted at projects that support climate resilience, especially in the Pacific.
“Most of our support is allocated by working directly with countries. Working in this way means we can prioritise support where it is needed most in the Pacific. What I am announcing today will complement this targeted work by boosting a global fund dedicated to helping countries adapt to the impact of the climate crisis.
“Working in tandem with targeted support for the Pacific, our contribution to the Adaptation Fund will play an important role in scaling up global support for countries to adapt to the impact of the climate crisis.
“Today’s announcement sends an important signal about this Government’s commitment to global action to support communities to build a safe and fair future. It highlights New Zealand’s commitment to scaling up its climate finance commitment quickly and effectively.
“Last year, at COP26 in Glasgow, rich, polluting countries were urged to double adaptation finance over 2019 levels by 2025. Aotearoa New Zealand is stepping up to meet this challenge,” James Shaw said.
The contribution to the Adaptation Fund is the second funding announcement made around COP27. It follows a commitment of $20 million of dedicated finance for loss and damage. Both are allocations from the $1.3 billion climate finance commitment for 2022–2025.
The Adaptation Fund is the only multilateral climate fund dedicated to financing adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries. It was set up in 2007 to fund climate adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries that were parties to the Kyoto Protocol.
Since 2010, the Adaptation Fund has allocated more than US$923 million for climate change adaptation and resilience projects and programmes. This includes more than 130 projects in the most vulnerable communities of developing countries, with 33 million beneficiaries.
