摘要

The ongoing pandemic has demonstrated to the world the drastic consequences of a strong global economic shock,while there is no doubt that the human and economic consequences of extreme cli-mate events or rising sea levels could far exceed those of the current crisis.It is unfortunate that the 26th UN Cli-mate Change Conference of the Par-ties(COP26),planned to be held in November 2020 in Glasgow,UK,had to be postponed to next November.Never-theless,after China promised to become carbon neutral before 2060 and to be-gin cutting its emissions within the next 10 years in September 2020,hopes of limiting global warming to below 2℃have reignited and the world's attention was again directed to the urgent need to make serious progress to achieve this goal[1].Though energy and transport sectors have tended to be the focus of attention in this effort,it is essential that all sectors take action to curb climate change[2].
