My plea to discuss plans and strategies alongside specific emissions targets might seem to risk impeding the negotiations. But if we don’t have a strategy to accompany our targets, the world’s governments might not accept such targets in the first place, or might accept them cynically, without any intention of actually meeting them.
虽然笔者提出要在具体减排目标之外制定计划和战略的请求似乎有阻碍谈判进行之嫌，但如果没有跟目标相配套的具体策略的话，各国政府首先都不会接受这一目标，即便接受了，或许也没打算真正去实现它。
