Amazon is committed to net-zero carbon across our business by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement


Today we are announcing the climate pledge 
Amazon 正式宣佈氣候變遷承諾

The climate pledge is to meet the goals of the Paris agreement 10 years early 
相較於《巴黎協定》,我們提前10年達成碳中和。

Amazon becomes the first signatory to the climate pledge, 
Amazon 是首家簽署氣候變遷承諾的企業

we want to use our scale and our scope to lead the way 
我們善用企業規模以作為全球表率

And one of the things that we know about Amazon as a role model for this is that our business is its difficult challenge for us
我之所以這麼說是由於這項任務艱巨無比

Because we have deep large the physical infrastructure 
因為我們用有為數眾多的實體物流中心

We're not only moving information around 
我們不只是雲端資料傳輸

We're moving packages around 
我們運輸實體的貨品

But if we can do this anyone can do this
如果我們能做到,我相信大家都能做到

It's going to be challenging but we know we can do it and we know we have to do
這雖然充滿挑戰,但我們仍承諾達成

It this is an amazing response to say 
我們的承諾是對於氣候變遷具有非凡的意義

You know what climate is really upon us its effects are cumulative every day counts every month counts and certainly every year counts 
時至今日我們都已深知氣候變遷至關重要

So to take the pledge of coming in 10 years early to carbon neutrality 
當我們承諾到2040年,比《巴黎協定》提早10年實現碳中和

is actually a huge contribution to the ambition 
這項承諾確實為氣候變遷帶來巨大貢獻

I'm incredibly excited to announce that we have just placed an order for 100,000 electric delivery vans 
我們剛採購了10萬量電動車作為物流使用

As this economy develops and people get serious about being carbon 0 through real changes to their real business activities 
透過實際營運活動的實質作為,以實現碳零排放

That is going to be a gigantic signal to the marketplace 
我們的實際行動向市場傳遞了具體的訊息,

to start inventing developing these new technologies that these global companies will need to be able to meet this commitment 
透過新技術投資以實現氣候變遷承諾

Amazon is large but if we get lots of large companies to agree to the same thing that would be an even stronger signal to the market that together with the fact that the supply chains are so interconnected it becomes the only way to do it and that's with collaboration.
我們的氣候變遷行動,也將帶動供應鏈的紛紛響應。
