目前，我只在WMO网站上找到一个由中国多名作者完成的三峡工程潜在气候影响报告的英文文本。我暂时不能确定此文本与传说中的SPM的关联。至于记者所说三峡SPM（应系Summary for Policy Makers的缩写）的真容，我目前尚不太清楚。我希望有兴趣的网友施展一下搜索本领，对记者消息的出处追根求源，锁定报道标题中所谓“给出答案”的真实主人。此外，因为不少网友并不见得能够读懂英文，我希望，能有热心人士将英文文本翻译成中文以便更多的网友了解与阅读。
Experts affirmed summary of Three Gorges climate report10-07-2013 Source:China Meteorological News Press
On July 8, CMA organized a meeting to analyze and appraise the summary for policymakers of "A Comprehensive Assessment Report: Climatic effects of Three Gorges Project". Experts participating in the meeting carefully analyzed and appraised the products of this report and the conclusion of the summary from the aspects of role of the Three Gorges Project in flood control, disaster reduction and addressing climate change, features of the climate evolution of the Three Gorges reservoir area and the Yangtze River Valley and some others.
Deputy Administrator of CMA Jiao Meiyan, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering Li Zechun and Ding Yihui and experts from CMA, Ministry of Water Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Peking University and many other relevant units participated in the meeting.
Jiao Meiyan introduced the condition of the 1st session of IBCS which was held in Geneva from July 1 to 5. This summary was released in the side meeting of the Three Gorges climate service which was jointly sponsored by CMA and WMO Secretariat to show CMA's efforts in tackling climate change and offering climate service.
These experts expressed that this summary reflected the climate monitoring effect and climate change features in the Three Gorges reservoir area in an objective and scientific term. It also evaluated the condition of future climate change in the reservoir and gave relevant adaptive measures.
China’s rapid economic growth has created a series of pressures that has forced the country to engage more closely with a number of low and middle income countries. First, rapid growth is depleting scarce domestic natural resources, including energy resources and minerals, and so part of China’s ‘Going Out Strategy’ encourages overseas investment to access these resources (Mohan and Power, 2009; McNally et al, 2009; Urban and Mohan, 2011). Secondly, as some sectors of the Chinese market become relatively saturated, the first generation of large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) liberalised under the post-1979 reforms need to internationalise and acquire new markets (Huang, 2008). Thirdly, China’s rapid technological advances – such as in energy technology- have made it possible to expand overseas. These three drivers – resource access, new markets, technological advances– come together in the hydropower sector where China is the pre-eminent global player in major dam projects, often with the support of Chinese state finance (Bosshard, 2009; Urban and Mohan, 2011).
Large dams have been controversially debated for several decades due to their large-scale and often irreversible social and environmental impacts (WCD, 2000). In the pursuit of low carbon energy and climate change mitigation, hydropower is experiencing a new renaissance in many parts of the world, despite its vulnerability to climate change and increased water stress (IPCC, 2011). At the forefront of this renaissance are the Chinese, the world’s largest dam builder. Sinohydro, a Chinese state-owned enterprise (SOE), is leading the global hydropower sector in terms of number and size of dams built, investment sums and global coverage. While China has a long history of domestic dam-building, recent developments have led to rising numbers of Chinese overseas hydropower dams, particularly in low and middle income countries in Asia and Africa (Bosshard, 2009; McDonald et al, 2009; International Rivers, 2012). Power generation equipment is now China’s second largest export earner after electrical appliances (Bosshard, 2009). Other motives include China’s search for overseas job creation for Chinese workers and for providing the infrastructure for larger resource extraction projects (Bosshard, 2009), for example, in planned aluminium industries at the Bakun dam site in Borneo, Malaysia.
