Green Advocates Urge UK Government to Install Air Conditioning in Schools and Care Homes

环保倡导者敦促英国政府在学校和照护之家安装空调

As the United Kingdom endured record-breaking May temperatures, climate campaigners have argued that the government must urgently prioritise installing air conditioning in schools, care homes, and other facilities housing vulnerable populations.

随着英国经历了破纪录的五月气温，气候倡导者主张政府必须紧急优先在学校、安养院以及其他收容弱势群体的设施中安装空调。

Green advocates have emphasised that solar panels should be fitted to power these units, thereby combining climate adaptation with renewable energy infrastructure.

环保倡导者强调，应安装太阳能板为这些设备供电，从而将气候适应与再生能源基础设施结合起来。

The urgency of this call stems from alarming precedents.

这一呼吁的紧迫性源于令人担忧的前例。

During the 2022 heatwave, when temperatures spiked above 40 degrees Celsius, approximately 3,000 people across Britain died from heat-related causes.

在 2022 年热浪期间，当气温飙升至摄氏 40 度以上时，全英国约有 3,000 人死于与热相关的成因。

Research indicates that air conditioning can reduce such fatalities by as much as 75 percent.

研究指出，空调可以减少多达百分之七十五的此类死亡事故。

Were the government to implement a comprehensive cooling strategy now, thousands of lives could potentially be saved in future summers.

倘若政府现在实施全面的降温策略，未来夏季可能有数千人的生命得以挽救。

Europe has warmed faster than any other continent, and the United Kingdom remains particularly ill-prepared.

欧洲的变暖速度比任何其他大洲都快，而英国仍然准备得特别不足。

The majority of English homes already overheat during summer months, yet government policy on climate adaptation has lagged behind the growing threat.

大多数英格兰住宅在夏季月份已经出现过热现象，然而政府关于气候适应的政策却落后于日益增长的威胁。

He emphasised that populist movements have historically exploited public frustration over inadequate government preparedness.

他强调，民粹主义运动历来利用公众对政府准备不足的沮丧情绪。

Not only does this undermine support for climate action, but it also enables opportunistic politicians to advance divisive agendas.

这不仅削弱了对气候行动的支持，还使投机取巧的政治家能够推进具分歧性的议程。

#15

The devastating floods in Valencia in 2024, which claimed over 220 lives, illustrated precisely how populist figures from the Vox party capitalised on grief rather than addressing the underlying climate crisis.

2024年瓦伦西亚毁灭性的洪水夺走了超过220条生命，这精确地说明了来自呼声党的民粹主义人物如何利用悲伤，而非应对潜在的气候危机。

#16

Analysts suggest that the overheating of British homes is poised to become a significant political flashpoint.

分析人士指出，英国房屋过热的问题正准备成为一个重大的政治冲突点。

#17

Should the government fail to develop robust infrastructure for cooling vulnerable communities, mounting public dissatisfaction could prove increasingly difficult to contain.

若政府未能为脆弱社群开发健全的降温基础设施，日益增长的公众不满情绪可能会被证明愈发难以遏制。

#18

The question remains whether ministers will act with sufficient urgency before the next lethal heatwave strikes.

问题在于部长们是否会在下一波致命热浪袭击之前，以足够的紧迫感采取行动。
