BioCarbon: Ndi chiyani ndipo chifukwa chiyani timasamala?

Wolemba, Mark J. Spalding, Purezidenti, The Ocean Foundation

Sabata ino ndidakhala ndi mwayi wolumikizana ndi anzathu pafupifupi khumi ndi awiri ku Seattle kuti tikambirane mwachidule za "njira yachiwiri yanyengo" yomwe imadziwikanso kuti BioCarbon. Mwachidule: Ngati yankho loyamba la nyengo likuchepetsa mpweya wowonjezera kutentha ndikusunthira kuzinthu zamagetsi zomwe zimakhala zokhazikika komanso zosaipitsa, ndiye chachiwiri ndikuwonetsetsa kuti tisaiwale za machitidwe achilengedwe omwe akhala ogwirizana nawo kwa nthawi yayitali. kuchotsa ndi kusunga mpweya wochuluka kuchokera mumlengalenga.

Nkhalango za Kumpoto chakumadzulo, nkhalango za Kum'mawa za kum'mwera chakum'mawa ndi New England, ndi dongosolo la Everglades ku Florida zonse zikuyimira malo omwe pano akusunga kaboni ndipo amatha kusunga zambiri. M'nkhalango yathanzi, m'malo a udzu, kapena m'dambo, mumakhala nthawi yayitali yosungiramo mpweya m'nthaka monga m'mitengo ndi zomera. Mpweya womwe uli m'nthaka umathandizira kukula bwino komanso kuthandiza kuchepetsa mpweya wina wa kaboni kuchokera pakuyaka mafuta. Akuti phindu lalikulu la nkhalango za m'madera otentha padziko lapansi ndi mphamvu yake yosungiramo mpweya, osati mtengo wake monga matabwa. Zikuganiziridwanso kuti mphamvu zobwezeretsedwa komanso zowongoleredwa zamakina osungiramo mpweya zitha kukwaniritsa 15% ya zosowa zathu zolanda mpweya. Izi zikutanthauza kuti tiyenera kuonetsetsa kuti nkhalango zathu zonse, udzu, ndi malo ena okhala, ku US ndi kwina kulikonse, zimayendetsedwa bwino kuti tipitirizebe kudalira machitidwe achilengedwe awa.

Nyanja imatenga pafupifupi 30 peresenti ya mpweya wathu wa carbon. Blue carbon ndi mawu aposachedwa kwambiri omwe amafotokoza njira zonse zomwe malo okhala m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi nyanja amasungiramo mpweya. Mitengo ya mangrove, udzu wa m'nyanja madambo, ndi madambo a m'mphepete mwa nyanja onse amatha kusunga kaboni, nthawi zina komanso, kapena kuposa njira ina iliyonse yolandirira. Kuwabwezeretsanso ku mbiri yawo yonse kungakhale loto, ndipo ndi masomphenya amphamvu othandizira tsogolo lathu. Tikakhala ndi malo okhala ndi thanzi labwino komanso timachepetsa zovuta zomwe zili mkati mwathu (monga kutukuka kwambiri ndi kuipitsidwa), ndipamenenso moyo wa m'nyanja umakhala wokulirapo kuti ugwirizane ndi zovuta zina.

Ku The Ocean Foundation takhala tikugwira ntchito pazovuta za buluu wa buluu kuyambira pomwe tidakhazikitsidwa zaka zopitilira khumi zapitazo. Pa Novembala 9^th, Blue Carbon Solutions, mogwirizana ndi UNEP GRID-Arundel, adapereka lipoti lotchedwa Mpweya wa Nsomba: Kufufuza Carbon Services za Marine Vertebrate, zomwe zikuwonetsa kumvetsetsa kwatsopano kosangalatsa kwa momwe nyama zam'madzi zomwe zatsala m'nyanja zimathandizira kwambiri m'nyanja kuti zitha kutenga ndi kusunga mpweya wochulukirapo. Nawu ulalo wa izi lipoti.

Chilimbikitso chimodzi chokulitsa ntchito zobwezeretsa ndi kuteteza ndikutha kugulitsa ndalama zothandizira mapulojekitiwa kuti akwaniritse ntchito zotulutsa mpweya wowonjezera kutentha kwina. Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) yakhazikitsidwa kuti ikhale ndi malo okhala padziko lapansi ndipo tikuthandizana ndi Restore America's Estuaries kuti timalize VCS yokhala ndi mpweya wa buluu. VCS ndi chiphaso chovomerezeka cha njira yobwezeretsa yomwe tikudziwa kale kuti ndi yopambana. Kugwiritsa ntchito Calculator yathu ya Blue Carbon kumabweretsa zabwino zomwe tikudziwa kuti zizindikirika padziko lonse lapansi, ngakhale zikukwaniritsa zabwino zam'nyanja pano.
