Annual investments in improving energy efficiency must triple by 2030 in order for the world to remain able to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.
国际能源署(IEA)周三表示，到2030年，提高能源效率的年度投资必须增加两倍，以使全球变暖保持在1.5摄氏度以下。

Driven by spending on buildings and strong electric vehicle sales, global energy efficiency investment reached a record 600 billion U.S. dollars in 2022, the IEA said in its report titled Energy Efficiency: The Decade for Action.
IEA在其题为《能源效率:行动十年》的报告中说，在建筑支出和电动汽车强劲销售的推动下，全球能源效率投资在2022年达到创纪录的6000亿美元。

In 2023, this figure is expected to increase to 624 billion U.S. dollars, but the year-on-year growth rate would be lower than in 2022 as the high cost of capital weighs heavily on potential new projects, the IEA warned.
IEA警告说，在2023年，这一数字预计将增加到6240亿美元，但同比增长率将低于2022年，因为资本成本过高严重影响了潜在的新项目。

In its report, published on the occasion of the IEA's 8th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency, the agency said that doubling annual energy efficiency progress to 4 percent annually by 2030 would require investment in the sector to rise from 600 billion U.S. dollars to over 1.8 trillion U.S. dollars by 2030.
在国际能源署第八届全球能源效率年会之际发表的报告中，该机构表示，要实现2030年每年节能进展增长4％的目标，需要将该领域的投资从2022年的6000亿美元增加到2030年的超过1.8万亿美元。

The agency stressed that the 4 percent goal by 2030 would deliver vital reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time create jobs. According to the report, energy efficiency activities could generate 12 million jobs globally by 2030.
该机构强调，到2030年4%的目标将实现温室气体排放的重要减少，同时创造就业机会。根据该报告，到2030年，能源效率活动可以在全球范围内创造1200万个就业机会。

Importantly, more efficient and lower energy demand supports faster progress towards universal access to modern and affordable energy in emerging and developing economies, it noted.
报告指出：重要的是，更有效和更低的能源需求,支持新兴和发展中经济体在普及现代和可负担能源方面取得更快的进展。

Also, doubling efficiency progress by 2030 will enhance energy security and help bring access to electricity to more than 800 million people, the IEA added.
此外，到2030年效率提高一倍将加强能源安全，并有助于使8亿多人获得电力，IEA补充说。

The IEA's 8th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency is taking place in Paris between June 7 and June 8. The goal is to speed up progress on energy efficiency.
国际能源署的第八届全球能源效率年会将于6月7日至6月8日在巴黎举行。其目标是加快能源效率方面的进展。

Participants consider how policy action in areas such as innovation, digitalization and finance can help governments as they turn to energy efficiency to boost affordability, security and climate action.
与会者探讨了政策在创新、数字化和金融等领域的行动如何帮助政府提高可负担性、安全性和应对气候变化的能效水平。
