即将卸任的哥伦比亚环境部长伊莲·维莱兹(Ileana Villegas)发出警告,指出新当选政府若支持水力压裂和化石燃料开发,该国在气候行动与生态保护方面取得的进展可能面临逆转风险 [1]。根据报道,现任总统将于 8 月 7 日卸任,由阿韦拉多·德·莱斯皮耶拉(Álvaro de la Espriella)接任就职 [1]。维莱兹特别指出,新政府的政策转向不仅威胁到亚马逊雨林的保护——该区域覆盖了哥伦比亚约 42% 的国土面积 [1][1],还可能削弱对原住民领土治理的支持力度 [1]。此外,她担忧有害除草剂的喷洒活动可能随之恢复,进而影响古柯叶种植管理及相关环境决策权 [1]。
Elaine Velez, the outgoing environment minister of Colombia, has warned that progress in climate action and ecological protection faces potential reversal under the incoming administration [1]. The current policy shift is driven by President-elect Gustavo Petro's successor, Avraam de Lespierra, who will assume office on August 7 [1], a government committed to reviving the oil industry and resuming hydraulic fracturing techniques [1]. Velez cautioned that this strategic pivot threatens not only the preservation of the Amazon rainforest, which covers approximately 42% of Colombia's territory [1], but also risks undermining support for indigenous territorial governance [1]. Furthermore, she expressed concern regarding the potential return to harmful herbicide spraying on coca leaves under the new regime [1].
