据能源之声网站1月15日报道 欧盟计划将四分之一的预算用于应对气候变化,并制定了一项计划,在未来10年内将1万亿欧元(8560亿英镑)的投资转向使经济更加环保。

周二公布的欧洲投资计划将由欧盟预算和私营部门提供资金。

它的目标是兑现欧盟委员会主席Ursula von der Leyen的绿色协议,到2050年使欧盟成为世界上第一个碳中和大陆。

该计划将包括一个旨在帮助受向清洁工业过渡影响最大的地区的机制,尽管所有欧盟成员国都将有权获得补贴。

去年12月上任的von der Leyen主席已经把应对气候变化作为自己的首要任务。

欧盟的行政部门表示,一半的投资将来自欧盟预算。

各国政府将出资1000亿欧元(850亿英镑),3000亿欧元(2560亿英镑)来自私营部门。

从2021-2027年的欧盟预算中再拿出75亿欧元(64.1亿英镑)作为种子基金,在一个更广泛的机制内预计将产生另外1000亿欧元的投资。

这笔钱的目的是说服像波兰这样依赖煤炭的国家接受绿色协议,帮助他们渡过摆脱化石燃料带来的财政和社会成本。

该计划将根据具体标准分配资金。例如,大量人口从事煤炭、泥炭开采或页岩油气开采的地区将得到优先考虑。

欧盟领导人上月同意在本世纪中叶之前使欧盟经济碳中和,但波兰并没有立即同意该计划,因为其大部分能源需求依赖煤炭。

EU dedicates £850bn to climate change fight

The European Union plans to dedicate a quarter of its budget to tackling climate change and has set up a scheme to shift one trillion euro (£856 billion) in investment towards making the economy more environmentally friendly over the next 10 years.

The Europe Investment Plan, unveiled on Tuesday, will be funded by the EU budget and the private sector.

It aims to deliver on European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen’s Green Deal to make the bloc the world’s first carbon-neutral continent by 2050.

The plan will include a mechanism designed to help the regions most affected by the transition to cleaner industries, although all EU member states will be entitled to subsidies.

Ms von der Leyen, who took office in December, has made the fight against climate change the priority of her mandate.

The bloc’s executive arm says that half of the investment will come from the EU budget.

National governments will contribute 100 billion euro (£85 billion), and 300 billion euro (£256 billion) will come from the private sector.

Another 7.5 billion euro (£6.41 billion) from the 2021-2027 EU budget is earmarked as seed funding within a broader mechanism expected to generate another 100 billion euro in investment.

The money is designed to convince coal-dependent countries like Poland to embrace the Green Deal by helping them weather the financial and social costs of moving away from fossil fuels.

The plan would allocate the money according to specific criteria. For example, regions where a large number of people work in coal, peat mining or shale oil and gas would get priority.

EU leaders agreed last month to make the bloc’s economy carbon neutral by the middle of the century, but Poland, which depends on coal for much of its energy needs, did not immediately agree to the timeline.
