【COP18】菲律宾代表发言会场激动哽咽

菲律宾代表于会场落泪，以下为发言文稿：

谢谢各位，以下我将为我的国家发表谈话。首先，我完全支持由阿尔及利亚代表G77和中国所做出的声明。我有幸代表菲律宾共和国所属的七千一百座岛屿和一百万人发言。我同时也为数百名在悲剧事件中死去的人民发言。在此我感谢主席、副主席和您们组织内的工作者，因为您们的带领才让我们在重要议题上有了进展。我也要感谢秘书长支持AWG-KP的工作。我同时也要感谢为此次杜哈会议能够达到显著成果而贡献努力的各方代表。我要谢谢您们和您们代表的团体，包括附表一国家的代表们，一直秉持诚挚的态度来支持京都议定书。

让我借着这个机会对多方表达感谢：来自民间的社会团体及个人，我们的好朋友与同事，还有青年组织，在这个对菲律宾人最艰困的时候，团结一致，代表我国向外发声。在此，我也向这些与我们站在一起、深深触动我们内心的青年组织，致上特别的感谢之意。

我们对于我们的处境深感焦虑，乃至于思量我们的努力是否足够；在回应其他国家对我们的索求，我们是否基于公平正义的原则？我们是否实践了在德班达成的承诺？我们看见的，是一个半满的水杯，亦或是一个半空的水杯呢？还是就整体而言，是个空杯子呢？

虽然，在我们面前的条文，在千头万绪的讨论之下逐渐成型，然而，这份条文其实也反应出各方在许多面向上的意见分歧；值得一提的就是，对于眼前的状况，我们仍无因应之道。开发中的国家们，提出具体的提案，并不辞辛劳地在多个议题上，包括目标设定机制(Ambition Mechanism）、持续存在的配额单位（AAU）过高问题、合适性、临时申请案(Provisional Application)、减排数量等等，尽可能与其他国家达成共识；致力于确保第二阶段的承诺具有实质意义，并且促使第二阶段的共识，能够成为让各国更加积极于气候议题的契机。

我们同样地担心我们如何在许多协商中取得进展，更重要的是，我们如何确保我们在京都议定书的第二个承诺期有更大的野心，而且确保这些为了缓和气候变迁及调适而制定的执行方法能增强全球的企图心。我们的忧虑，同时也肇因于关于执行目标和方法的那些另外正在发生的事，尤其是财务方面，但还包括调适性策略、科技及碳容量的建立这些重要的议题。

今天是非常重要的一刻。我们离京都议定书第二个承诺期还有25天。但实际上我们不是真的还有25天。我们只剩几个宝贵的小时而已。我们正位在紧要的关头。接下来的几个小时对我们来说代表的是决定性的机会，确保我们在正确的轨道上处理气候危机。

在杜哈这里，京都议定书是成功的关键，也是企图心的基石，如果没有多国参与的话。简单地说，我们不接受失败。我们相信京都议定书具有企图心的成果已经唾手可得。在您英明的领导，以及副主席和工作人员的努力之下，这样的成功看似近在咫呎。可惜的是，随着AWG的结束，我们的目标似乎越来越远。

我的代表团有个重要的背景，那就是我们已经面临到气候变迁的严重影响。当我们坐在这里的每个小时，并且拖延又犹豫不决的当下，死亡人数也同时攀升中。这是个巨大而影响深远的灾难。成千上万的人民无家可归。当Bopha台风接近菲律宾西部另一个人口密集地区时，强大的威力使得我们的苦难离终点仍遥遥无期。主席大人，我们从未遇过像Bopha这样的台风，对国家造成半世纪以来从所未见的浩劫。这样令人心碎的悲剧并不只发生在菲律宾，全世界，尤其是仍在为解决贫困问题及社会发展而奋斗着的开发中国家，也都面临着相同的困境。

最后，主席，我代表1亿个菲律宾人发言，其中有25万人在卡达这里工作糊口。我在此做出急切的呼吁，不是以协商者的身份，不是以我们代表团团长的身份，而是以身为一个菲律宾人民的身份。

我呼吁全世界，我呼吁来自世界各地的领导者，张开我们的双眼正视我们面对的现实。部长们，我恳求您。

我们协商的成果不应该是政治人物想要的成果，而是70亿人民的需求。

我恳求所有的人，拜托，不要再拖延，不要再有借口。拜托，让杜哈因我们开始建立扭转局势的政策而被后人记得，让2012这一年因世界建立了勇气，找到为了我们想要的未来应承担的意志而被记得。

我问在场的各位，如果不是我们，那要让谁来做这件事呢？如果不是现在，那要等到什么时候？如果不在这里，那应该在哪里？

谢谢您主席。

原文：

Madam Chair,

Thank you for giving me the floor. I wish to make a statement on behalf of my own country.

At the onset, let me fully support the statement made by Algeria on behalf of G77 and China.

I have the honor to speak on behalf of the Republic of the Philippines, its 7,100 islands, and 100 million people. I also speak on behalf of the hundreds who have perished in the tragedy back home.

Let me thank you, Madame Chair, your Vice-Chair and your facilitators, for guiding us with the work that has resulted in progress on many of the key issues. I thank the secretariat as well for the support they have provided for our work in the AWG-KP. I wish to also thank Parties who have earnestly worked hard toward arriving at an ambitious successful outcome here in Doha. I do sincerely thank Parties and groups of Parties who have remained sincere, including those Annex I Parties who remain sincere in sustaining the KP regime.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank the many Parties, organizations from civil society, individuals, friends and colleagues, and youth organizations who have expressed solidarity for the Philippines in this very trying times for my country. I wish to specially thank the youth organizations who have profoundly touched our hearts for standing with us

We are deeply concerned about where we stand now. Have we done enough? Have we managed to give justice to what the world demands of us? Have we honored the package we got out of Durban? Do we see a glass half full? A glass half empty? Or an empty glass altogether?

While we have seen substantial progress in the development of the text we have in front of us, this text remains reflective of a wide divergence among Parties, especially still fraught with options that fail to respond to the realities that we face. Developing countries have put forward concrete proposals, and have painstakingly worked on arriving at a common ground on many issues, including the ambition mechanism, carry-over of surplus AAUs, eligibility, provisional application, and numbers, in the earnest endeavor to make the 2nd commitment period a meaningful one, a 2nd commitment period that can provide the crucial basis for further enhancing global ambition.

We are likewise worried in terms of how we move progress in the work under the various negotiating fronts, most importantly on how we ensure that we pursue high level of ambition for the second commitment period of KP, and ensure means of implementation to enhance global ambition, both for mitigation and adaptation.

We are worried, also because of the context of what is happening in other tracks in relation to ambition and means of implementation, especially on finance, but to include all the important issues of adaptation, technology, capacity building.

This day marks a very crucial moment. We are 25 days away from the end of the 1st CP of KP. But we don’t really have 25 days. We have a few precious hours left. We are at a critical juncture. The next few hours represent a crucial opportunity for us to ensure that we are on the right trajectory to address the climate crisis. KP is the linchpin of success here in Doha, and the cornerstone of ambition, if not the whole multilateral regime. Failure is simply not acceptable.

We have made ourselves believe that a successful ambitious outcome in KP is within reach. Under your able guidance, and with the hard work of your Vice-Chair and your facilitators, this may be in sight. However, as we close this AWG, ambition continues to elude us.

An important backdrop for my delegation is the profound impacts of climate change that we are already confronting. As we sit here, every single hour, even as we vacillate and procrastinate here, the death toll is rising. There is massive and widespread devastation. Hundreds of thousands of people have been rendered without homes. And the ordeal is far from over, as Typhoon Bopha has regained some strength as it approaches another populated area in the western part of the Philippines. Madam Chair, we have never had a typhoon like Bopha, which has wreaked havoc in a part of the country that has never seen a storm like this in half a century. And heartbreaking tragedies like this is not unique to the Philippines, because the whole world, especially developing countries struggling to address poverty and achieve social and human development, confront these same realities.

Finally, Madam Chair, I speak on behalf of 100 million Filipinos, a quarter of a million of whom are eking out a living working here in Qatar. And I am making an urgent appeal, not as a negotiator, not as a leader of my delegation, but as a Filipino.

I appeal to the whole world, I appeal to leaders from all over the world, to open our eyes to the stark reality that we face. I appeal to ministers.

The outcome of our work is not about what our political masters want. It is about what is demanded of us by 7 billion people.

I appeal to all, please, no more delays, no more excuses. Please, let Doha be remembered as the place where we found the political will to turn things around. Please, let 2012 be remembered as the year the world found the courage to find the will to take responsibility for the future we want.

I ask of all of us here, if not us, then who ? If not now, then when ? If not here, then where ?

Thank you Madam Chair
