We have all the solutions we need to avoid catastrophic warming, right now, claims a new report by Project Drawdown.
我们已经有了避免灾难性变暖所需的所有解决方案，现在，一份由Project Dumdown发布的新报告声称。
And, not only are they easy to implement, they're far cheaper than doing nothing.
而且，它们不仅易于实现，而且比什么都不做要便宜得多。
The Drawdown Review is a comprehensive analysis of the currently available solutions to the climate crisis, based on the work of scientists and researchers around the world, across many sectors, from finance to climate science.
缩编审查是基于世界各地从金融到气候科学等多个部门的科学家和研究人员的工作，对目前可用的气候危机解决方案进行的全面分析。
The aim of the nonprofit Project Drawdown is to guide us all towards a future where the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to decline - the moment they refer to as 'drawdown'.
非营利项目缩水的目的是引导我们所有人走向一个未来，在那里大气中的温室气体停止攀升并开始下降-从他们称之为“缩水”的那一刻开始。
That means we must start extracting fossil fuel emissions, such as CO2 and methane, from the atmosphere as well as stop spewing them into it.
这意味着我们必须开始从大气中提取化石燃料排放，如二氧化碳和甲烷，并停止将它们排放到大气中。
"Drawdown is a critical turning point for life on Earth, and we must strive to reach it quickly, safely, and equitably," says the report.
“减少是地球上生命的一个关键转折点，我们必须努力快速、安全和公平地达到它，”报告说。
Having already lost an entire decade to inaction, and recently receiving a glimpse of some very frightening consequences - the devastating loss of wildlife from Australia's unprecedented summer of fires - the urgency of such solutions are surely clear.
由于无所作为已经失去了整整十年，最近又瞥见了一些非常可怕的后果-澳大利亚史无前例的夏季火灾导致野生动物的毁灭性损失-这些解决方案的紧迫性无疑是显而易见的。
"The current path we are on is beyond dangerous," the report warns, "and it's easy to be paralyzed by that perilousness. Yet possibility remains to change it."
“我们目前所处的道路已经超越了危险，”报告警告称，“这种危险很容易让人瘫痪。然而，改变它的可能性仍然存在。”
Project Drawdown estimates that by implementing the 76 solutions they've outlined, it would result in savings of up to around US$144 trillion of avoided climate damage and pollution-related healthcare costs.
项目缩减估计，通过实施他们概述的76个解决方案，将节省高达144万亿美元的避免气候损害和与污染相关的医疗费用。
While the upfront cost could be up to US$26.2 trillion, this plan would allow us to achieve peak carbon dioxide by as early as the mid-2040s.
虽然前期成本可能高达26.2万亿美元，但这项计划将使我们最早在20世纪40年代中期达到二氧化碳峰值。
When they scientists grouped their solutions by sector, they were ranked like this:
当他们的科学家将他们的解决方案按部门分组时，他们的排名是这样的：
"We found that when we add together the 80-plus solutions to climate change, and these already exist, we have enough to get drawdown by between the 2040s and the 2060s depending on how decisively we act," co-author and climate scientist Jonathan Foley told the ABC.
“我们发现，当我们将80多个气候变化解决方案加在一起，而且这些方案已经存在，我们就有足够的资金在20世纪40年代到20世纪60年代之间进行缩减，这取决于我们的行动有多果断，”合著者兼气候科学家乔纳森·福利(Jonathan Foley)告诉美国广播公司(ABC)。
