The report was written and reviewed by 300 scientists and launched on the UN International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer。该报告由300位科学家撰写和审阅,并于联合国的国际臭氧层保护日发布。
Given that many substances that deplete the ozone layer are also potent greenhouse gases, the Montreal Protocol ‘provided substantial co-benefits by reducing climate change,’ it added。报告还指出,鉴于许多损耗臭氧层的物质也是很强的温室气体,《蒙特利尔议定书》“通过减缓气候变化带来了实质性的衍生利益”。
In 2010, reductions of ozone-depleting substances as a result of the Protocol, were five times larger than those targeted by the Kyoto Protocol, the greenhouse emissions reduction treaty。2010年,由于《议定书》的实施,臭氧消耗物质的减少量,比削减温室气体排放量的协议《京都议定书》规定的目标削减量多出五倍。
'Without the Montreal Protocol and its associated Vienna Convention atmospheric levels of ozone-depleting substances could have increased tenfold by 2050,' Mr Steiner said。(联合国环境署总干事)斯特纳先生说:“如果没有《蒙特利尔议定书》及与之相关的《维也纳公约》,大气中臭氧消耗物质的浓度到2050年将增加10倍。”
'This in turn could have led to up to 20 million more cases of skin cancer and 130 million more cases of eye cataracts, not to speak of damage to human immune systems, wildlife and agriculture.'“其相应的后果是增加多达2000万皮肤癌和1.3亿白内障病例,更不用说对人类免疫系统、野生动植物和农业造成的危害了。”
