The Group of 20 (G20) leaders except U.S. President Donald Trump¹ on Saturday reaffirmed their commitment to the Paris Agreement, saying it is "irreversible".

 

上周六，除美国总统特朗普之外参加G20峰会的领导人重申了对《巴黎协定》的肯定，称这是“不可取消的”。

 

The G20 leaders said in the declaration that they remain "collectively committed" to mitigate² greenhouse gas emissions³ through increased innovation on sustainable and clean energies and energy efficiency, but "take note of" the decision of the United States to withdraw from the agreement.

 

"The United States of America announced it will immediately cease the implementation⁴ of its current nationally-determined contribution and affirms its strong commitment to an approach that lowers emissions while supporting economic growth and improving energy security needs," it added.

 

Nevertheless, leaders of the other 19 members reaffirmed in the declaration their "strong commitment to the Paris Agreement, moving swiftly towards its full implementation in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated⁵ responsibilities and respective capabilities⁶, in the light of different national circumstances."
