NAIROBI – In the run-up to the recent United Nations meeting on climate change in Lima, Peru, much of the world’s attention focused on how strongly countries would commit to a framework for cutting greenhouse-gas emissions. Governments’ commitment to such a framework, after all, is vital to ensure that the agreement to be signed in Paris in December will keep global temperatures from rising more than 2º Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
内罗毕—在最近的秘鲁利马联合国气候变化会议准备期间，全世界的注意力集中在了各国将就减少温室气体排放的问题作出多么强的承诺。毕竟，政府对这一框架的承诺对于确保12月的巴黎协议能够让全球气温升温幅度限制在前工业化水平以上2℃之内至关重要。
