But this overlooks the Lima agreement’s greatest accomplishment: It ends the longstanding division of the world into only two kinds of countries, developed and developing. Ever since the original UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was signed in 1992, countries’ obligations have been defined according to their level of development in that year.
但这忽略了利马协议的最大成就：它结束了长期存在的将世界分为两类国家——发达国家和发展中国家的情况。自1992年签署联合国气候变化框架公约以来，各国的义务一直根据当年发展水平决定。富裕国家，即所谓的“附件1”国家有强制性义务，而较穷的“非附件1”国家只要求采取自愿措施。
