在安全理事会 2021 年 2 月 23 日关于气候与安全的公开辩论开始时，世界著名的博物学家大卫·阿滕伯勒 (David Attenborough) 发布了一条视频信息，敦促全球合作应对气候危机。 “如果我们继续目前的道路，我们将面临一切保障我们安全的事物的崩溃——粮食生产； 获得淡水； 宜居的环境及温度； 海洋食物链，”他说。 后来，他又补充道：“请不要搞错， 气候变化是人类有史以来面临的最大安全威胁。” 此类警告已变得普遍。 尽管这一挑战的严重性已被广泛接受，但目前尚不清楚全球社会，尤其是主要碳排放国，是否会表现出足够的承诺水平来减少碳排放，从而避免气候建模者做出更可怕的预测。
At the outset of the Security Council’s 23 February 2021 open debate on climate and security, world-renowned naturalist David Attenborough delivered a video message urging global cooperation to tackle the climate crisis. “If we continue on our current path, we will face the collapse of everything that gives us our security—food production; access to fresh water; habitable, ambient temperatures; and ocean food chains”, he said. Later, he added, “Please make no mistake. Climate change is the biggest threat to security that humans have ever faced.” Such warnings have become common. And while the magnitude of this challenge is widely accepted, it is not clear if the global community, in particular the major carbon-emitting states, will show the level of commitment needed to reduce carbon emissions enough to stave off the more dire predictions of climate modellers.
