Benjamin Ho, the ROC ambassador to Kiribati, who has been at his post for 16 months now, explains that even in South Tarawa, the political and economic center of Kiribati, because resources are scarce and incomes are not high (per-capita GDP in 2008 was US $ 1586), most people still live very “ organically ” and could be said to have the lowest carbon emissions level in the world.
到任 1 年 4 個月的我國駐吉里巴斯大使何登煌解釋，即使在政經中心的首都塔拉瓦，由於資源有限、所得不高（2008 年平均國民生產毛額僅 1,586 美元），多數人的生活仍過得相當「有機」，「碳排放量」可謂世界最低。
