巴西政府在一次全球气候峰会前表示，所有国家现在就可以开始摆脱对化石燃料的依赖，无需等待新技术或经济变革。
Brazil, the host of last year’s UN climate conference, set out the world’s first global “roadmap” for phasing out fossil fuels on Tuesday, showing that countries could boost their economies and pull people out of poverty while breaking the link with coal, oil and gas.(巴西作为去年联合国气候大会的主办国，于周二发布了全球首份化石燃料淘汰路线图，表明各国可以在摆脱煤炭、石油和天然气的同时提振经济、帮助民众脱贫。)

But Joeri Rogelj, a professor of climate science and policy at Imperial College London, said that although the Brazilian roadmaps represent(代表；象征)ed a step forward(向前迈出的一步；进步), they were limited. “The roadmaps are valuable but fall short of clearly indicating the pace of change needed by including no timeline or key benchmarks(这些路线图很有价值，但没有包含时间表或关键基准，因此未能明确指示所需的变革速度。),” he said.
