These countries’ commitments created the sense of responsibility, trust, and solidarity that enabled 195 nations not merely to agree on a one-off deal, but to set in motion a series of increasingly ambitious five-year cycles to phase out greenhouse-gas emissions this century. This is a clear signal that the carbon era has reached a turning point; as a result, there will be more investment in renewable energy.
我们应该赞扬中国、印度、美国和欧盟在巴黎之前所做出的气候行动承诺。这些国家的承诺营造了一种负责、信任和团结的感觉，让195个国家不仅达成了一个前所未有的协议，还制定了一系列逐渐加强的五年计划，在本世纪内结束温室气体排放。这是一个清晰的信号，表明碳时代已经到达了一个转折点；因此，对可再生能源的投资将会增加。
