Xin Hua She· 2025-12-18 07:34
研究结果显示,到本世纪末,预计将有近8000种物种面临不适宜的生存条件,包括气候变化导致的极端 高温以及人类活动导致的栖息地丧失。 以色列内盖夫本-古里安大学、英国牛津大学等机构的研究人员在学术期刊《全球变化生物学》上报告 说,城市化、农业扩张等土地利用方式变化以及其他人类活动,正在破坏动物的自然栖息地,并可能引 发大规模物种灭绝。 研究人员对近3万种哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物和两栖动物的生存状况进行了分析,研究了它们偏好的 栖息地环境、可承受的温度范围,以及21世纪气候变化和土地利用变化的预测情况。 新华社耶路撒冷12月18日电(记者王卓伦 冯国芮)一个国际团队日前发布的研究显示,由于气候变化 引发极端高温、人类活动挤压栖息地,到本世纪末,近8000种哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物和两栖动物可 能面临灭绝风险。 研究指出,非洲萨赫勒地区、巴西大片区域以及中东部分地区受影响尤为严重。地球未来可能面临物种 多样性大幅下降、生态系统遭受破坏的局面,这将对人类生存环境造成严重影响。研究人员希望采取全 球行动加强环境和自然保护,以维护生物多样性。(完) ...
“首例”!外媒:日本数百名民众联合起诉政府应对气候变化“不作为”,并要求索赔
Huan Qiu Wang· 2025-12-18 03:27
Core Viewpoint - A landmark lawsuit has been filed in Japan against the central government for its alleged unconstitutional inaction on climate change, marking the first of its kind in the country [1][3]. Group 1: Lawsuit Details - Hundreds of citizens are suing the Japanese government, claiming that insufficient measures to address the climate crisis have endangered the health and livelihoods of approximately 450 plaintiffs [3]. - The lawsuit asserts that the government's actions violate the plaintiffs' rights to a peaceful life and a stable climate environment [3]. Group 2: Criticism of Government Targets - The lawsuit criticizes Japan's latest emission reduction targets, stating they do not align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius [3]. - Japan's Nationally Determined Contributions aim for a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 2013 levels, and a 73% reduction by 2040, but these targets are deemed "far below" the global reduction goals outlined in the latest UN assessment [3]. - The lack of legal binding on these targets is highlighted as a significant constitutional issue [3]. Group 3: Implications and Expert Opinions - Experts suggest that this lawsuit is more groundbreaking than previous cases as it seeks to hold the state accountable for its inaction on climate issues [3]. - While the likelihood of winning the case may be low, the lawsuit could succeed in raising public awareness due to its resonant messaging [3].

菲律宾台风幸存者因气候损害起诉壳牌
Xin Hua Wang· 2025-12-12 07:45
原告方指出,壳牌约占全球化石燃料产生的温室气体排放量的2%,加剧了台风"雷伊"的破坏性。台 风"雷伊"于2021年12月在菲律宾造成405人死亡,逾1000万人受影响。 据菲律宾"询问者"网站11日报道,来自菲律宾宿务省、保和省等受超级台风"雷伊"重创的103名幸存者 已向英国法院提起民事诉讼,指控英荷壳牌石油公司长期投资化石燃料、加剧气候变化,间接导致该台 风破坏力增强。 报道援引菲律宾人权委员会2022年发布的《气候变化全国调查报告》指出,全球主要化石燃料企业"混 淆、阻挠并拖延"向可再生能源转型的努力,并强调气候变化已影响菲律宾人的生命、食物和水安全 等。 报道还援引菲律宾民间组织的观点指出,壳牌公司自20世纪60年代中期起便知晓其对气候变化的影响, 但仍持续投资化石能源。 报道援引一些幸存者回忆称,他们在台风中"一瞬间"失去家园与生计,数年后仍难以完全恢复。幸存者 代表表示,此次诉讼既是为了寻求赔偿用于重建生活,也是为了下一代避免经历更严重的灾害。 (文章来源:新华网) 报道说,原告方向壳牌索赔,以补偿台风造成的损失。他们认为,根据"污染者付费"原则,应由造成气 候危害的一方承担成本。 据报道,本案在 ...
“熊患”加剧,日本伤亡数字创历史纪录
第一财经· 2025-12-12 06:25
Core Viewpoint - Japan is experiencing a significant increase in bear attacks, with 235 reported injuries and 13 fatalities since April, marking a historical high for the country [3][6]. Impact on Tourism Industry - The bear attacks have adversely affected the tourism sector, particularly in Nagano Prefecture, where a historic inn lost over 300 bookings due to safety concerns [6]. - The presence of bears in populated areas has led to school closures and warnings from foreign embassies to their citizens traveling in rural Japan [6][8]. Reasons for Bear Activity in Winter - Climate change is identified as a key factor disrupting the ecological balance, with average temperatures in Hokkaido rising by 2.4 degrees Celsius over the past 30 years, shortening the hibernation period of bears [8][9]. - A poor harvest of beech and oak acorns in 2025 has left Asian black bears without sufficient fat reserves for winter, leading to increased activity [8][9]. - Japan's declining population and abandoned farmland have blurred the boundaries between forests and human habitation, resulting in more frequent bear encounters [8][9]. Bear Population Growth - The bear population in Japan is increasing at an annual rate of 15%, with numbers rising from approximately 15,000 in 2012 to around 54,000 this year [9][10]. - If left unmanaged, the bear population could double in five years, posing further risks to human safety and the tourism industry [9][10].

Di Yi Cai Jing· 2025-12-12 05:40
Core Viewpoint - Japan is facing a significant increase in bear attacks, attributed to climate change and demographic issues, leading to heightened concerns in tourism and public safety [1][4]. Group 1: Bear Attacks and Statistics - Since April, at least 235 people have been injured in bear attacks across Japan, with 13 fatalities, marking a historical high in casualties [1]. - In a single day on December 4, multiple bear attacks resulted in injuries to at least 5 individuals, highlighting the severity of the situation [3]. - The Nagano Prefecture recorded its first winter bear attack since tracking began in 1977, indicating a troubling trend [3]. Group 2: Impact on Tourism - The bear attacks have adversely affected the tourism industry, with over 300 bookings canceled at a historic inn in Akita due to safety concerns [3]. - The presence of bears in populated areas has led to school closures and residents avoiding outdoor activities after dark, further impacting local tourism [3]. Group 3: Climate Change and Ecological Factors - Climate change is disrupting the ecological balance, with average temperatures in Hokkaido rising by 2.4 degrees Celsius over the past 30 years, leading to shorter hibernation periods for bears [6]. - A significant food shortage for Asian black bears is anticipated in 2025, as key food sources like beech and oak acorns are expected to fail, exacerbating the bears' search for food [6]. Group 4: Demographic Issues - Japan's declining population and increased abandonment of farmland are contributing to the blurred boundaries between bear habitats and human settlements, leading to more frequent bear encounters [6]. - The mechanization of agriculture has reduced the workforce needed to manage farmland, making it easier for bears to invade [6]. Group 5: Bear Population Growth - The bear population in Japan is increasing at an annual rate of 15%, with estimates rising from approximately 15,000 bears in 2012 to around 54,000 in the current year [7]. - Without intervention, the bear population could double in five years, posing a significant risk to human safety and local ecosystems [7].
