布什政府温室气体减排政策评析

美国作为世界政治经济大国和世界第一大温室气体排放国家，其温室气体减排政策备受关注。布什政府上台后不久宣布拒绝接受《京都议定书》，并于2002年2月提出“全球气候变化计划”。布什政府实际上在以各种借口推托美国应该承担的温室气体减排国际责任，这将对以UNFCCC为基础的全球气候合作产生消极影响，并对全球气候政策提出挑战。

REVIEW OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S POLICY FOR REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

As a political and economic superpower and the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, the United States has invited much attention to its policy for reducing emissions. The Bush administration declared its opposition to the Kyoto Protocol shortly after taking office and put forward its Global Climate Change Initiative in February 2002. In essence, the Bush administration has been using various excuses to shirk its international responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which will undermine global cooperation on climate change within the UNFCCC framework and pose challenges to climate change policies of developing countries.
