总统：约翰，谢谢你。大家好。感谢你们抽出时间来到这里，不论你们身在哪个时区。我对此非常感谢。
你们知道，我们今天集会之时正值——存在影响着我们所有国家的紧迫的全球性问题的时刻，要求我们立即——它们都需要我们立即采取行动以及我们的密切合作。
俄罗斯对其邻国乌克兰发动的残酷、无端的攻击引发了一场全球能源危机，并使实现长期、可靠的能源安全和稳定的需求变得更加迫切。
而且随着俄罗斯的战争加剧了世界范围的通货膨胀，让脆弱的国家受到粮食短缺的威胁，我们必须共同努力以减轻这场危机迫在眉睫的后果。
在美国，我正在利用我所拥有的一切手段，为美国人民降低物价。而且我们各国正在共同努力稳定全球能源市场，包括协调历史上最大规模的全球石油储备的释放。
而最重要的一点是，这些行动是我们向一个清洁、安全的长期能源未来转型的一部分。而且好消息是，气候安全与能源安全携手并进。
例如，在三月份，欧洲委员会（European Commission）——在冯德莱恩（von der Leyen）主席的领导下努力——而且我宣布了美国-欧盟能源安全工作组（U.S.-EU Task Force on Energy Security）来帮助欧盟迅速减少它对俄罗斯天然气的依赖性，并通过加速发展清洁能源技术来减少欧盟对天然气的整体需求。
我们将增强我们的能源安全，改善世界各地的能源的可负担性和可靠性，并削减我们的温室气体排放。
由于我们不能——我们承担不起无法实现将全球升温控制在1.5摄氏度这个关键目标的后果。
而且科学表明，采取行动的时间迅速地——迅速地紧迫起来。
格拉斯哥仅仅是雄心、行动及创新的10年的开端。我们期待着COP27。我们必须——我们必须在期待它的同时完全致力于实现现有的目标并进行更多的努力以推动我们的进展。
因此，我敦促这些国家——那些尚未制定2030年减排目标的国家与巴黎气温目标保持一致，为COP27增强他们的目标。
与此同时，我们需要新的行动计划来加速我们向我们的目标迈进并增强我们的复原力。
美国正在提出的在能源、运输和农业部门最大限度地提高效率并削减排放的方案如下。我希望你们很多人都将——将和我们共同进行这些努力。
首先，我们应当推进全球甲烷承诺（Global Methane Pledge）的成果——现已超过115个国家之多。为此，我们将宣布全球甲烷承诺能源通道（Global Methane Pledge Energy Pathway），以大力加快我们削减油气部门的甲烷泄漏的速度，并帮助满足我们的能源需求。
我们现有的能源系统每年泄漏的甲烷足以满足整个欧洲电力部门的需求。我们燃除的天然气足以抵消欧洲从俄罗斯进口的几乎全部天然气。因此，通过终止这种超强温室气体的泄漏和燃除，并捕获这一资源供需要它的国家使用，我们正在同时解决两个问题。
第二，我们正在对创新和加速扩大使用新技术进行投资，如碳捕集和先进的核与清洁氢气能源。国际能源机构（International Energy Agency）指出，我们需要为这个十年做出价值900亿美元的示范项目。由于在美国这里通过的《两党基础设施法》（Bipartisan Infrastructure Law），我们将为实现这个目标贡献215亿美元。
例如，我们启动了一个数十亿美元的努力，在全国建立氢能中心。并且利用我们体制中的《国防生产法》，增加制造用于生产清洁氢能的电解装置。我们已经——我们正在双管齐下。
我们的能源部也刚刚宣布为建造世界上最大规模的清洁氢能储存设施之一提供贷款担保。
我向我们发出共同挑战，到9月份美国在匹兹堡举办全球清洁能源行动论坛（Global Clean Energy Action Forum）时，完全达到900亿美元目标。
第三，俄罗斯的战争正在导致石油价格上涨——所有人都知道这一点——是我们所有国家的人受伤害。这是一个迫在眉睫的问题，我想你们所有人和我知道我每天都在努力。
长期而言，我们可以通过做到让更多零排放车上路而消除波动的汽油价格带来的痛苦和减少交通运输的排放。
在美国，我们正在建造一个包含50万个电动车充电站的全国充电网。我们正在加强电池所需关键材料的供应链。我们制定了目标，确保到2030年在美国销售的二分之一的小轿车是零排放车。我敦促你们各位和我们一道制定相同的目标。
第四，如果海洋航运业是一个国家，它会是世界第八大排放国。我们必须以更大努力在这个行业推动零排放燃料和绿色航运走廊。在我看来我们应能做到这点。正因为如此，美国和挪威正在发起绿色航运挑战（Green Shipping Challenge），致力于到2050年实现航运完全去碳化。
最后，俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争正在使缺少粮食保障的情况更加恶化，一部分原因是肥料价格飞涨。肥料生产依靠天然气，但是，每年全球50%以上的氮肥因浪费而被损失。
因此，今天美国发起全球肥料挑战（Global Fertilizer Challenge）。让我们致力于在COP27召开时至少集资1亿美元，用以提高肥料效率和开发替代方法。
为了继续推进我们对增强适应力的努力，今年美国将与埃及合作，开展非洲适应（Adaptation in Africa）活动，旨在制定出改善人民生活和增强对气候变化的适应力的具体倡议行动。
我认为，这些都是可以实现的目标。如果我们都承诺作出各自的努力，我们将能够完成。如果我们这样做，我们将为世界各地所有人打开巨大的机会：更大的发展，更多的创新，可以养家的更多优薪工作，为全球各地社区带来更大的粮食保障，并且我们将最终摆脱对波动的能源市场和高价石油的依赖。
所以，再次感谢你们各位抽出时间——今天早上，今天，今天晚上——无论是在那个时间区——来加入我们。让我们保持这一挑战——让我们继续进行——我们一直进行的努力。挑战我们自己去做更大的努力，因为我们有能力这样做。
非常感谢各位聆听。我亟待听到你们大家的发言。谢谢。谢谢你，约翰。

JUNE 17, 2022•SPEECHES AND REMARKS
8:34 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you, John.  Hello, everyone.  And thank you for, whatever time zone you’re in, making the time to be here.  I appreciate it very much.
You know, we’re meeting today at a moment when — where there’s urgent global issues impacting all of our nations, demand our immed- — and they all demand our immediate action and our close cooperation.
Russia’s brutal and unprovoked assault on its neighbor, Ukraine, has fueled a global energy crisis and has sharpened the need to achieve long-term, reliable energy security and stability.
And with Russia’s war driving up inflation worldwide, threatening vulnerable countries with severe food shortages, we have to work together to mitigate the immediate fallout of this crisis.
In the United States, I’m using every lever available to me to bring down prices for the American people.  And our nations are working together to stabilize global energy markets, including coordinating the largest release from the global reserve — from global oil reserves in history.
But the critical point is that these actions are part of our transition to a clean and secure long-term energy future. And the good news is climate security and energy security go hand in hand.
For example, back in March, the European Commission — with President von der Leyen leading the effort — and I announced the U.S.-EU Task Force on Energy Security to help the EU rapidly reduce its dependence on Russian gas and reduce the EU’s overall demand for gas by ramping up clean energy technologies.
We’ll bolster our energy security and improve the affordability and reliability of energy around the world and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
Because we cannot — we cannot afford to let the critical goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius slip out of our reach.
And the science tells us that the window for action is rapidly narrowing — rapidly.
Glasgow was just the kickoff for a decade of ambition, action, and innovation.  And we look toward COP27.  We have to — we have to dedicate ourselves, as we look forward to it, to delivering on existing goals and undertaking additional efforts to boost our progress.
So I urge these countries that — those countries that have not yet gone to set a 2030 emissions target to align with the Paris temperature goal, to strengthen their targets for COP27.
At the same time, we need new initiatives to accelerate our progress toward our goals and bolster our resilience.
Here’s what the United States is proposing to maximize efficiency and reduce emissions across the energy, transportation, and agricultural sectors.  I hope that many of you will — will join us in these efforts.
First, we should build upon the success of the Global Methane Pledge — now more than 115 countries strong.  To do that, we’re announcing the Global Methane Pledge Emer- — excuse me — Energy Pathway to ramp up the speed at which we reduce methane leaks from the oil and gas sector, and also helping bridge our energy needs.
Each year, our existing energy system leaks enough methane to meet the needs for the entire European power sector.  We flare enough gas to offset nearly all of the EU’s gas imports from Russia.  And so, by stopping the leaking and flaring of this super-potent greenhouse gas, and capturing this resource for countries that need it, we’re addressing two problems at once.
Second, we’re investing in innovation and hastening the scale-up of new technologies like carbon capture and advanced nuclear and clean hydrogen.  The International Energy Agency says we need 90 billion dollars’ worth of demonstration projects for this decade.  And thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that was passed here in the United States, we’re stepping up with a $21.5 billion contribution toward this goal.
For example, we’ve launched a multibillion-dollar effort to create hydrogen hubs all around the country.  And using the Defense Production Act, in our system, to boost the manufacturing of electrolyzers, which are used to produce clean hydrogen.  We’ve done — we’re doing both these things.
Our Department of Energy also just issued a loan guarantee to construct one of the world’s largest clean hydrogen storage facilities.
And I challenge us, together, to hit the full $90 billion target by the Global Clean Energy Action Forum that the U.S. is hosting in September in Pittsburgh.
Third, Russia’s war is driving up prices of gas — everybody knows that — hurting people in all our countries.  It’s an immediate problem that I suspect all of you and I know I’m working every day.
Over the long run, we can remove the pain of volatile gas prices and reduce transportation emissions by putting more zero-emission cars on the road.
In the United States, we’re building a nationwide network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.  We’re strengthening our supply chains for the critical materials that go into those batteries.  And we’ve set a goal of ensuring that half of all passenger cars sold in the United States in 2020 will be zero — 2030, I should say — will be zero emission.  I urge all of you to join us in a similar goal.
Fourth, if ocean-based shipping were a country, it would be the eighth-largest emitter in the world.  It’s critical we do more to promote zero-emission fuels and green shipping corridors in this sector.  And it seems to me we ought to be able to do that.  That’s why the United States and Norway are launching the Green Shipping Challenge to fully decarbonize shipping by 2050.
And finally, Russia’s war in Ukraine is worsening food insecurity, in part due to the skyrocketing price of fertilizer. Fertilizer production relies on natural gas, but more than 50 percent of nitrogen fertilizers are lost globally every year due to waste.
So today, the United States is launching a new Global Fertilizer Challenge.  Let’s aim to raise at least $100 million toward increasing fertilizer efficiency and developing alternatives by COP27.
And to keep strengthening our adaptation efforts, this year, the United States is going to partner with Egypt on the Adaptation in Africa event to deliver concrete initiatives that are going to improve people’s lives and build resilience in — to a changing climate.
These are all achievable goals, in my view.  And if we all commit to doing our part, we’ll get it done.  And if we do, we’ll unlock an incredible opportunities for all our people around the world: more growth, more innovation, more good-paying jobs that support working families, greater food security for communities around the world, and we’ll finally break our dependence on the volatile energy markets and high gas prices.
So thank you all again for taking the time to — this morning, today, tonight — whatever the timeframe it is — for what — and joining us.  So let’s keep this challenge — let’s keep doing what we — what we’ve been doing.  Challenge ourselves to do more, because we can.
Thank you all so very much for listening.  I’m anxious to hear what you all have to say.  Thank you.  Thank you, John.
