This shift in awareness among policymakers will be crucial not just for socio-economic improvement, but also for creating a low-carbon economy, which will require moving from the energy-intensive physical infrastructure of the last century to the connected, information-based infrastructure of the twenty-first century. We need a new paradigm that enables us to decouple GDP growth from CO2 emissions, thereby ensuring further poverty reduction without causing greater environmental damage.
类似的决策者意识转变不仅对改善社会经济至关重要，还能在从上个世纪能源密集型实体基础设施向二十一世纪信息化基础设施转型的过程中建设低碳经济。我们需要全新模式实现GDP增长与二氧化碳排放脱钩，这样就能在进一步消除贫困的同时避免污染环境。
