Must help each other during crisis: PM to global community_我的网站
一 | 8 月 25 日消息，当地时间 24 日，据外媒 Futurism 报道，今年的“超级”厄尔尼诺与人为造成的气候变化叠加，导致全球气候纪录被不断刷新。 New Delhi, Oct 11 (UNI) There is a need for an institutional approach by the international community to help each other during a crisis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday adding that "the Covid-19 pandemic should have been a wake-up call for taking everyone along".
The Prime Minister was addressing the United Nations World Geospatial International Congress via video message.
"Global organisations like the United Nations can lead the way in taking resources to the last mile in every region... Hand-holding and technology transfer are also crucial in fighting climate change," Modi said.
He suggested that best practices may be shared for saving our planet.
Modi pointed out that the theme of the conference, 'Geo-enabling the Global Village: No one should be left behind' can be seen in the steps India has taken over the last few years.
"We have been working on a vision of Antyodaya which means empowering the last person at the last mile, in a mission mode," he said.
"450 million unbanked people, a population greater than that of the US, were brought under banking net and 135 million people, about twice the population of France, were given insurance," he said.
He said that the sanitation facilities were taken to 110 million families and tap water connections to over 60 million families in India.
India is ensuring no one is left behind, the Prime Minister added.
"In India, technology is not an agent of exclusion. It is an agent of inclusion," Modi said.
He highlighted the role of geospatial technology in driving inclusion and progress.
The role of technology in schemes like Svamitva and housing, and the outcomes in terms of property ownership and women empowerment, have a direct impact on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals on poverty and gender equality, the Prime Minister emphasized.
Citing the example of the South Asia Satellite for facilitating communication in India's neighbourhood, the Prime Minister said that India has already set an example in sharing the benefits of geo-spatial technology.
Modi underscored the endless possibilities that geo-spatial technology offers. These include sustainable urban development, managing and mitigating disasters, tracking the impact of climate change, forest management, water management, stopping desertification and food security.
He expressed wish that the conference becomes a platform to discuss developments in such important areas.
"With the stakeholders of the global geo-spatial industry coming together, with the policy makers and academic world interacting with each other, I am confident that this conference will help steer the global village into a new future," the Prime Minister concluded.
The Congress is being attended by over 2,000 delegates including 700 plus international delegates and participants from about 120 countries.
UNI ASU ING。今年 7 月，美国创下了有记录以来最热纪录，全美平均气温甚至超过 1936 年 7 月“黑色风暴”时期。当年，沙尘暴曾造成严重的环境和农业灾难。海洋表面温度同样持续攀升，本月达到约 21.1℃，创观测纪录以来新高。海洋最高温通常出现在南半球夏季结束后的 3 月和 4 月，因此在这一时点刷新纪录更加反常。渥太华大学环境研究教授瑞安 · 卡茨-罗森在 X 发文指出，这次海温纪录甚至可能是整个全新世以来的最高值，甚至可能追溯到 12.5 万年前的上一个间冰期。
二 | “这应该成为重大新闻！”注：“全新世”是地球历史上的最年轻的地质年代，属于显生宙新生代第四纪，承接更新世，始于 11700 年前（或公元前 9700 年）新仙女木期的结束。欧盟哥白尼气候变化服务记录到了这些异常高温。
三 | 持续升温意味着，今年余下时间还可能出现更多极端天气，包括强降雨和风暴。
四 | 海水越热，吸收大气中过量二氧化碳的能力也越弱，进而会进一步增强温室效应。哥白尼气候变化服务研究员萨曼莎 · 伯吉斯指出，这一纪录再次清楚显示，海洋承受的压力越来越大。厄尔尼诺确实在给气候系统增加热量，此前几十年由人类活动造成的升温也为此打下了基础。显现的后果就是，与 20 世纪 90 年代初相比，全球海洋热浪天数已经增加到 3 倍以上。美国国家海洋和大气管理局数据显示，目前全球约 42% 的海洋处于海洋热浪之中，逼近 2024 年创下的 46% 最高纪录。自然运动组织主任布赖恩 · 奥唐奈表示：“要应对创纪录的海洋升温，需要采取两项关键措施。第一，必须迅速减少化石燃料排放；第二，各国必须保护海洋和沿海生态系统。”图源：Pexels。
