We reaffirm our announcement on June 8, 2013 that the United States and China agreed to work together and with other countries through multilateral approaches that include using the expertise and institutions of the Montreal Protocol to phase down the production and consumption of HFCs, while continuing to include HFCs within the scope of UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol provisions for accounting and reporting of emissions. We emphasize the importance of the Montreal Protocol, including as a next step through the establishment of an open-ended contact group to consider all relevant issues, including financial and technology support to Article 5 developing countries, cost effectiveness, safety of substitutes, environmental benefits, and an amendment. We reiterate our firm commitment to work together and with other countries to agree on a multilateral solution.

我們重申雙方于2013年6月8日宣布的行動，美國和中國同意共同努力并通過多邊方式與其他國家合作，包括利用《蒙特利爾議定書》的專長和機制逐步淘汰氫氟碳化物的生產和消費，同時繼續在聯合國氣候變化框架公約（UNFCCC）及其京都議定書（Kyoto Protocol）條款的范圍內將氫氟碳化物納入排放的計量和報告。我們強調《蒙特利爾議定書》的重要意義，包括下一步通過建立開放式的聯絡小組考慮所有相關問題，包括對第5條款發展中國家的財政和技術支持，成本效益、替代物的安全、環境利益和修正案。我們重申雙方堅持共同努力并與其他國家一起達成多邊解決方案。

小編寄語：環保領域的材料不多見，大家可要抓住機會練習哦。還有，文中出現了一個議定書——《關于消耗臭氧層物質的蒙特利爾議定書》（Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer），大家需要留意一下哦！
