The first victim of such a crisis will be the top-down approach to climate policy pursued by the EU and many prominent scientists. This policy-making model begins with the limit for tolerable climate change; the world’s remaining emissions budget until 2050 is calculated from the agreed boundary, then divided among the 193 UN member states.
如此危机的首当其冲的受害者是欧盟和许多著名科学家追求的自上而下的气候政策观。这一决策模式的出发点是气候变化忍受极限，根据确定的边界计算2050年之前世界仍然可以排放的规模，然后再分配给193个联合国成员。
