 Droughts reduced India GDP by 2-5% over 20 years: UN

聯合國：20年來，干旱使印度GDP減少了2-5%

NEW DELHI: The number and duration of droughts has risen 29% globally since 2000 and the effect of severe droughts is estimated to have reduced India’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 2-5% over the 20 years from 1998 to 2017, said a new report from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) released on Wednesday.

新德里：聯合國防治荒漠化公約(UNCCD)周三發布的一份新報告稱，自2000年以來，全球干旱的次數和持續時間增加了29%，據估計，從1998年到2017年的20年里，嚴重干旱使印度的國內生產總值(GDP)減少了2-5%。

While calling for multiple actions, including land restoration to reduce the risk, the report released on the sidelines of the ongoing 15th session of the UNCCD conference (COP15) at Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, also flagged that the droughts represent 15% of natural disasters globally but took the largest human toll — appromately 6,50,000 deaths in 50 years (1970-2019).

在呼吁采取包括土地恢復在內的多種行動以降低風險的同時，在阿比讓正在舉行的《聯合國防治荒漠化公約》第15屆會議(COP15)間隙發布的這份報告也指出，干旱占全球自然災害的15%，但造成的人員傷亡最大，50年間(1970-2019年)約造成650000人死亡。

Globally, droughts caused economic losses of roughly $124 billion during that period. Though severe drought affected Africa more than any other continent with over 300 events recorded in the past 100 years, accounting for 44% of the global total, the highest total number of humans affected by drought were in Asia.

在全球范圍內，干旱造成了大約1240億美元的經濟損失。在過去的100年里，非洲遭受嚴重干旱的次數超過了300次，占全球總數的44%，但受干旱影響的總人數最多的是亞洲。

“We are at a crossroads when it comes to managing drought. We need to steer toward the solutions rather than continuing with destructive actions, believing that marginal change can heal sy emic failure,” said Ibrahim Thiaw, executive secretary of the UNCCD, while calling for making a full global commitment to drought preparedness and resilience in all regions a top priority.

“我們正處于應對干旱的十字路口。我們需要找出解決方案，而不是繼續采取破壞性的行動，相信小小的改變可以治愈系統性的失敗，”《聯合國荒漠化公約》執行秘書 Ibrahim Thiaw說。他同時呼吁全球所有地區做好抗旱和恢復準備，作為首要任務

Both civilians died after the heartless sh ting that goes ag inst the so-called rules of war that outlaw the targeting of civilians. CNN has identified the victims. One was the owner of the vehicle dealership that was loed, whose family does not want to be named. The other was Leonid Oleksiyovych Plyats, a 68-year-old grandfather who worked as a guard there. Russian soldiers are behaving no different from the ISIS in Syria and Iraq and are looting and killing innocent civilians.,Really shamef ...

兩名平民在遭遇的槍擊后死亡，這違反了戰爭規則，該規則禁止以平民為目標。

CNN已經確認了受害者的身份。其中一位是被搶劫的汽車經銷商的老板，他的家人不愿透露姓名。

另一位是68歲的祖父Leonid Oleksiyovych Plyats，他在那里當警衛。

Yet lacs of TMCs of water goes waste onto sea every monsoon.

然而，這是管理不善導致的，每到雨季，雨水就會白白流入海里，太浪費了

if deserts in middle East are being turned to crop bearing oasis and small patches of land in Israel are cultivated with high yield technique then we can do it here... mindset, will, and yes involvement of big private players would help...

如果中東的沙漠變成了種植作物的綠洲，以色列的小塊土地也可以采用高產技術來種植作物，那么我們在這里也可以做……改變心態，大型私營企業的參與將會有所幫助……

What about the UN which has been reduced to irrelevance and a laughing stock. What kind of drought did it go through.

那聯合國呢？

它已經淪為一個無關緊要的笑柄。它經歷了什么樣的干旱？

印度政府應該控制人口增長。龐大的人口是所有這些問題的背后原因。

Loss of GDP is due to poor planning by Feku go nment and not any natural cmity and environmental disaster is the least concern of this Feku cabinet

GDP下降是由于莫迪政府糟糕的計劃造成的，不是因為自然災害和環境災害，這是莫迪內閣最不關心的

西孟加拉邦在瑪瑪塔的統治下蓬勃發展，對吧?

Blame it on anything but mis management by Feku go nment. This time drought was the cause which happened due to Nehru n congress

要怪就怪莫迪政府管理不善。這次干旱是尼赫魯和國大黨造成的

UN has not mentioned that the root cause of the ecological imbnce is the Europe and USA.

聯合國沒有提到生態失衡的根本原因是歐美。

Hence proved modi is paunoti...since he become CM of Gujarat God started punishing us with drought...only option is to remove mosi and make god happy again

所以證明了莫迪是禍害…自從他當上古吉拉特邦首席部長，神就開始用干旱懲罰我們。唯一的選擇就是除掉禍害，讓神再次高興

Modi go nment n Gadkari are cutting trees for highways merrily. Who is bothered about ecology n environment!

莫迪政府和加德卡里正在為修高速公路而砍伐樹木。誰在乎生態環境

Whoever had the idea of growing sugarcane in Vidarbha region, needs to be resurrected from the dead, and given a thrashing. Vidarbha should grow less water intensive crops. Let sugarcane be grown in Western UP, and Andhra only. And maybe a bit in flood prone Bihar.

不管是誰想到在Vidarbha地區種甘蔗，都狠狠揍他一頓。Vidarbha應該種植用水量較少的作物。讓北方邦西部和安得拉邦種植甘蔗吧。在洪水多發的比哈爾邦可能也能種些。

ONLY because of Nehru, Gandhiji and Congress. Jai Shri Ram..!!

這都是因為尼赫魯、甘地和國大黨。
