倡议者促请亚投行提供将化石燃料投资转走的路线图

[此中文翻译由企业责任资源中心提供]

“亚投行被指支持化石燃料而不是可再生能源”, 2019年7月12日

倡议者指,亚洲基础设施投资银行将化石燃料项目优先于可再生能源计划,是正在削弱其处理气候改变的努力。

代表在卢森堡聚首参与亚投行的年度会议...一个非政府组织联盟呼吁该银行致力实现将全球气温上升的幅度限制在1.5°C的目标。

一位银行高级官员表示,银行正在努力使他们的工作方法与「巴黎气候变化协定」的目标保持一致,并致力于根据这些目标促进低排放和气候适应性发展。

亚投行于2016年创立时,其中国籍主席金立群承诺,该机构将会是「精益、清洁、绿色」的。然而,欧洲银行信息中心(Bank Information Center Europe)和大转变运动(Big Shift Campaign)的新研究显示,在超过80亿美元投资中,亚投行20%的资金(16亿美元)投资在化石燃料,只有8%(6.6亿美元)用于可再生能源。此外,化石燃料占该银行能源贷款的57%,而可再生能源仅占24%。

BIC Europe的Kate Geary表示:「我们的证据显示亚投行严重偏重于化石燃料项目,而不是可再生能源... 倡议者要求银行制定行动计划,以显示其政策如何与“巴黎协定”保持一致,并提供一个「路线图」,以便在2020年之前将化石燃料的投资转走。

亚投行传讯部主管Laurel Ostfield说:「去年12月,我们签署了多边开支银行的联合声明,以使我们的工作方法符合「巴黎协定」的目标。」

该银行「致力于与其他同行的多边开发银行合作,根据 「巴黎协定」的目标促进低排放和气候适应性发展,该协议旨在将全球气温上升幅度限制在2°C以下,并为1.5°C的目标努力。」

她补充说:「例如,我们将在项目经济评估中应用影子碳定价来确定我们的能源项目的可行性,我们目前正在使用一系列不同的折扣率和碳价来测试分析的稳健性。」
