Billionaire Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday that his foundation will step in to fund the UN climate change body after President Donald Trump declared the United States would withdraw from the Paris Agreement for the second time.

在美國總統唐納．川普宣布美國再度退出「巴黎協定」後，億萬富豪麥克．彭博週四宣布，他的基金會將接手資助聯合國氣候變遷機構。

"From 2017 to 2020, during a period of federal inaction, cities, states, businesses, and the public rose to the challenge to uphold our nation’s commitments － and now, we are ready to do it again," Bloomberg, who serves as the UN Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions, said in a statement.

「從2017年到2020年聯邦政府不作為的期間，各城各州和企業、民眾，挺身迎戰維護我國承諾的挑戰——現在，我們準備再次這麼做」，現任聯合國氣候目標暨解決方案特使彭博在聲明中說。

Bloomberg’s intervention aims to ensure the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change remains fully funded despite the United States halting its contributions.

彭博的介入旨在確保，即使美國停止資助，「聯合國氣候變化綱要公約」（UNFCCC）仍可獲得充分資金支持。

The United States typically provides 22 percent of the UNFCCC secretariat’s budget, with the body’s operating costs for 2024-2025 projected at 88.4 million euros.

UNFCCC秘書處預算的22％，通常由美國提供，而該機構2024到2025年的運作成本預估為8840萬歐元。
