在彼得斯堡气候对话期间，国家向国际货币基金组织（IMF）总裁格奥尔基耶娃（Kristalina Georgieva）在德国政府、英国政府和气候政策倡议支持下召开的气候融资虚拟峰会上发言，敦促各国向绿色部门投资紧急贷款，取消化石燃料补贴、征收碳税。为了防止新冠疫情的扩散，因旅行受限，全球经济活动大幅下滑。已有100多个国家向IMF申请了紧急融资。IMF正准备向遭受新冠疫情打击的政府提供1万亿美元的贷款，指导应对气候变化。

格奥尔基耶娃称，公共卫生危机后重建的资金应用于绿色投资领域，而不应补贴化石燃料。她说，为应对新冠疫情，而“暂停”应对气候变化是错误的行动。“我们将部署巨大的财政刺激方案，以求实现同时解决两种危机的目标。如果全球要摆脱这场新冠疫情危机，我们必须尽一切努力实现经济的绿色复苏。”她敦促各国政府考虑对碳征税，以增加经济复苏的收入，并激励私营部门减少排放。

IMF chief: $1 trillion post-coronavirus stimulus must tackle climate crisis 

Kristalina Georgieva is urging governments to invest emergency loans in green sectors, scrap subsidies to fossil fuels and tax carbon

As it gears up to lend $1 trillion to governments hit by the coronavirus pandemic, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is giving guidance on using the cash to tackle climate change. 

Economic activity has slumped worldwide amid travel restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19. More than 100 countries have applied to the IMF for emergency finance. 

Money to rebuild after the public health crisis should be directed into green investments and not subsidise fossil fuels, according to IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva. 

It would be a mistake to “pause” action on climate change while responding to coronavirus, she said. “We are about to deploy enormous, gigantic fiscal stimulus and we can do it in a way that we tackle both crises at the same time… If our world is to come out of this [coronavirus] crisis more resilient, we must do everything in our power to make it a green recovery.” 

Georgieva urged governments to consider taxing carbon to raise revenue for the recovery and incentivise the private sector to cut emissions. 

She was speaking at a virtual summit on climate finance, supported by the German and UK governments and Climate Policy Initiative, on the sidelines of the Petersberg Climate Dialogue. 

Merkel: don’t neglect climate finance to the world’s poor 

Mark Carney, a UN special envoy on climate finance and advisor to the UK hosts of the next UN climate negotiations, elaborated on the theme. 

“To build back better, we need to learn from our current predicament,” he said. “We cannot wish away systemic risk.” 

In his previous role as governor of the Bank of England, Carney warned climate change impacts and the shift to a clean economy could destabilise financial markets. He promoted initiatives to make corporations come clean about climate-related threats to their business models, so money could be more wisely invested. 

As economies adapt to post-coronavirus conditions there will be a “massive reallocation of capital,” he said. For example, health and education services may move online, shifting investments from bricks and mortar into telecomms. 

Endorsing Georgieva’s advice, Carney added that governments should “use this opportunity to implement a new financial framework that is centred around the transition” to a clean economy.
