冲突与和解问题专家艾玛·斯凯 (Emma Sky) 将于明天发表演讲，探讨如何实现净零碳排放，以及加强台湾的安全

Taiwan’s current energy and food situation is unsustainable — and an alarming security issue.

台湾目前的能源和粮食状况是不可持续的，也是一个令人担忧的安全问题。

Emma Sky, an expert on conflict and reconciliation and director of Yale University’s International Leadership Center, says that tackling climate change and shoring up Taiwan’s security are two sides of the same coin.

冲突与和解专家、耶鲁大学国际领导力中心主任艾玛·斯凯表示，应对气候变化和维护台湾安全是同一事物的两个方面。

“Taiwan imports 97 percent of its energy, two-thirds of its food — that’s not sustainable, that’s not moving towards net zero,” she says, adding: “what you need to address climate change is the same as what you need to do to become more resilient to withstand the squeeze from China.”

“台湾 97% 的能源、三分之二的食品依赖进口——这是不可持续的，也没有实现净零排放，”她说道，并补充道：“解决气候变化所需的措施与你需要做的事情是一样的。”变得更有弹性，以抵御来自中国的挤压。”

She adds that since COVID and the rise in global tensions, countries are “derisking,” by shrinking supply chains, and focusing on food production at home — changes that Taiwan needs to accelerate.

她补充说，自新冠肺炎疫情和全球紧张局势加剧以来，各国正在通过收缩供应链并专注于国内粮食生产来“规避风险”——台湾需要加快这一变革。

“Food, energy and water security makes Taiwan more capable of coping with a strangulation of a blockade and those types of scenarios,” she says.

“粮食、能源和水安全使台湾更有能力应对封锁和此类情况，”她说。

Sky, who spent years advising the US military in Iraq and later fostering Israeli-Palestinian co-existence, will draw on her extensive experience in conflict resolution to discuss the reasons why climate change should form the centerpiece of all government policy.

斯凯多年来一直为驻伊拉克美军提供咨询，后来又促进了以色列与巴勒斯坦的共存。她将利用她在解决冲突方面的丰富经验，讨论气候变化应成为所有政府政策核心的原因。

Emma Sky, a conflict resolution specialist who has worked with the US military in Iraq and fostered co-existence between Israel and Palestine, will give a lecture in Taipei tomorrow.

曾在伊拉克与美军合作并促进以色列和巴勒斯坦共存的冲突解决专家艾玛·斯凯(Emma Sky)将于明天在台北发表演讲。
