摘要
基础四国是由中国、印度、巴西和南非四个主要发展中国家组成的气候谈判集团,鉴于其成员在发展中国家和世界上的影响力,该集团在国际气候谈判中备受关注。在构建2012年后国际气候机制的谈判中,基础四国的立场表现出了很高的协调性,但也存在一定的差异。总体而言,基础四国的出现和协调行动推动了国际气候谈判在公约框架下展开,有利于后京都气候安排的达成,但也可能促使国际气候谈判集团,特别是"G77加中国"的分化和重新组合。基础四国气候谈判集团出现时间尚短,其最终能够在构建后京都气候机制中发挥何种作用将取决于基础四国在应对气候变化中如何对待联合国渠道与其他渠道的关系、敦促发达国家减排的决心和能力以及是否能够保持"G77加中国"内部的团结性等。
The BASIC countries consist of China, India, Brazil, South Africa and the other major states that made up the negotiation team representing developing countries at the Climate talks. Because the BASIC member states are extremely influential among both developing states and globally, BASIC received much attention at the international climate change talks. In constructing the 2012 negotiations on an international climate framework, the BASIC stance demonstrated a high level of coordination. Even though there are still some differences between BASIC states, on the whole, the emergence of and coordination between the BASIC countries has been conducive to the continuation of the international climate talks within the Framework Convention. This has also been helpful for coming to agreements on climate arrangements following Kyoto. It should be kept in mind though that it may also result in the division and re-organization of the international negotiating teams, especially the G77 plus China. BASIC is a recent creation, and the role that it will play in constructing a post-Kyoto climate change framework depends largely on how the four BASIC countries manage relations with the United Nations and other international institutions, on how they can press developed nations to develop resolve and capacity to cut emissions, and on how it can maintain unity between the G77 and China.
