Kudzipereka ku Tsogolo Labwino

Kusonkhana kuti tikambirane nkhani za nyanja, kusintha kwa nyengo, ndi zovuta zina za umoyo wathu wapagulu n'kofunika - zokambirana ndi maso ndi maso zimalimbikitsa mgwirizano ndi kulimbikitsa zatsopano - makamaka pamene cholinga chiri chomveka bwino ndipo cholinga chake ndi kupanga blue print kapena ndondomeko yoyendetsera kusintha. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, poganizira zomwe mayendedwe amathandizira pakutulutsa mpweya wowonjezera kutentha, ndikofunikira kuyeza ubwino wopezekapo ndi zotsatira za kukafika kumeneko—makamaka pamene mutuwo uli kusintha kwa nyengo kumene zotsatira zake zikuchulukirachulukira chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwathu kwa mpweya wotenthetsa dziko.

Ndikuyamba ndi njira zosavuta. Ndimadumpha kupezeka panokha komwe sindikuganiza kuti ndingathe kuwonjezera mtengo kapena kulandira phindu. Ndimagula blue carbon offsets pa maulendo anga onse—ndege, galimoto, basi, ndi sitima. Ndimasankha kuwuluka pa Dreamliner pamene ndikupita ku Ulaya-ndikudziwa kuti imagwiritsa ntchito mafuta ochepa achitatu kuwoloka nyanja ya Atlantic kusiyana ndi zitsanzo zakale. Ndimaphatikiza misonkhano ingapo kukhala ulendo umodzi komwe ndingathe. Komabe, pamene ndinakhala m’ndege yopita kunyumba kuchokera ku London (nditayamba ku Paris m’maŵa umenewo), ndidziŵa kuti ndiyenera kupeza njira zowonjezereka zochepetsera phazi langa.

Anzanga ambiri aku America adakwera ndege kupita ku San Francisco kukakumana ndi Bwanamkubwa Jerry Brown's Global Climate Action Summit, yomwe idaphatikizanso zambiri zokhudzana ndi nyengo, zina zomwe zidawunikira nyanja zamchere. Ndinasankha kupita ku Paris sabata yatha ku "Msonkhano Wapamwamba wa Sayansi: Kuchokera ku COP21 kupita ku United Nations Zaka khumi za Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030)," zomwe tidazitcha kuti Ocean Climate Conference kuti tipulumutse mpweya ndi inki. Msonkhanowu udakhudza kwambiri #OceanDecade.

Msonkhano wa ku Ocean Climate “ukufuna kuphatikizira kupita patsogolo kwa sayansi kwaposachedwapa pankhani ya kugwirizana kwa nyanja ndi nyengo; kuunikira zaposachedwa kwambiri za m'nyanja zam'nyanja, zanyengo ndi zamitundumitundu pokhudzana ndi kuchulukana kwa zochitika zam'nyanja zam'madzi; ndi kuganizira njira zosinthira ‘kuchokera ku sayansi kupita ku zochita’.”

Ocean Foundation ndi membala wa Ocean & Climate Platform, yomwe inachititsa msonkhanowu ndi UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. M’zaka zonse za malipoti ochokera ku bungwe la Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), sitinaganizire mozama za mmene kusintha kwanyengo kumakhudzira nyanja yathu yapadziko lonse. M'malo mwake, takhala tikuyang'ana momwe kusintha kwanyengo kudzakhudzire madera a anthu.

Zambiri mwa msonkhanowu ku Paris zikupitiriza ntchito yathu monga membala wa Ocean & Climate Platform. Ntchitoyi ndikuphatikiza nyanja pa zokambirana zapadziko lonse za nyengo. Zimakhala zovuta kubwereza ndikusintha mitu yomwe ikuwoneka ngati yodziwikiratu, komabe ndizofunikira chifukwa pali mipata yachidziwitso yomwe ikufunika kuthana nayo.

Chifukwa chake, m'malingaliro am'nyanja, mpweya wowonjezera wowonjezera kutentha wakhalapo kale ndipo ukupitilizabe kuwononga zamoyo zam'madzi ndi malo omwe amathandizira. Nyanja yozama, yotentha, ya asidi imatanthauza kusintha kwakukulu! Zili ngati kusamukira ku Equator kuchokera ku Arctic popanda kusintha zovala ndikuyembekezera chakudya chomwecho.

Mfundo yaikulu kuchokera ku zowonetsera ku Paris ndikuti palibe chomwe chasintha pazovuta zomwe timakumana nazo. M'malo mwake, kuwonongeka kwa kusokoneza kwathu kwanyengo kumawonekera kwambiri. Pali chochitika chadzidzidzi chatsoka pomwe timachita chidwi ndi kukula kwa chiwopsezo chochokera ku mkuntho umodzi (Harvey, Maria, Irma mu 2017, ndipo tsopano Florence, Lane, ndi Manghut pakati pawo mpaka pano mu 2018). Ndipo pali kukokoloka kosalekeza kwa thanzi la m'nyanja chifukwa cha kukwera kwa madzi a m'nyanja, kutentha kwambiri, acidity yambiri, ndi kuwonjezereka kwa madzi opanda mchere chifukwa cha mvula yamphamvu.

Momwemonso, zikuwonekeratu kuti mayiko angati akhala akugwira ntchito pankhaniyi kwa nthawi yayitali. Ali ndi zowunikira zolembedwa bwino ndikukonzekera kuthana ndi zovutazo. Ambiri a iwo, zachisoni, atakhala pamashelefu akutola fumbi.

Zomwe zasintha m'zaka khumi zapitazi ndikukhazikitsa nthawi zokhazikika kuti akwaniritse zomwe dziko likuchita kuchitapo kanthu, zomwe zingapimitsidwe:

• Malonjezano athu a Ocean (zikomo Mlembi Kerry): Nyanja yathu ndi msonkhano wapadziko lonse wa boma ndi mabungwe ena okhudzana ndi nyanja omwe adayamba mu 2014 ku Washington DC. Nyanja Yathu imagwira ntchito ngati pulatifomu yapagulu komwe mayiko ndi ena amatha kulengeza zomwe akulonjeza pazachuma ndi ndondomeko m'malo mwa nyanja. Chofunika kwambiri, malonjezanowo amawunikidwanso pamsonkhano wotsatira kuti awone ngati ali ndi vuto.
• Zolinga za UN Sustainable Development Goals (zopangidwa pansi mmwamba, osati pamwamba pansi) zomwe tinali okondwa kukhala nawo pamsonkhano woyamba wa UN womwe umayang'ana panyanja (SDG 14) mu 2017, yomwe ikufuna kuti mayiko ayesetse kukonza ubale wa anthu ndi nyanja, ndi zomwe zikupitiriza kupereka zolimbikitsa kudzipereka kwa dziko.
• Pangano la Paris (Zopereka Zolinga za Nationally Determined (INDCs) ndi malonjezano ena—Pafupifupi 70% ya INDCs ikuphatikizapo nyanja (112 yonse). Izi zinatipatsa mwayi wowonjezera "Njira Yam'nyanja" ku COP 23, yomwe inachitikira ku Bonn mu November 2017. The Ocean Pathway ndi dzina loperekedwa kuti liwonjezere gawo la kulingalira kwa nyanja ndi zochita mu ndondomeko ya UNFCCC, chinthu chatsopano cha pachaka. Msonkhano wa COP. COP ndiye chidule cha Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Pakadali pano, anthu am'nyanja akufunikabe kuwonetsetsa kuti nyanjayi ikuphatikizidwa mokwanira papulatifomu yokambirana zanyengo. Khama la kuphatikiza nsanja lili ndi magawo atatu.

1. Kuzindikirika: Poyamba tinkafunika kuwonetsetsa kuti nyanjayi imagwira ntchito ngati ngalande ya mpweya wa kaboni komanso ngalande ya kutentha izindikirika, komanso udindo wake pakusauka kwa nthunzi ndipo motero kuthandizira kwambiri pa nyengo ndi nyengo padziko lonse.

2. Zotsatira zake: Izi zinatipangitsa kuti tiganizire za okambirana za nyengo pa nyanja ndi zotsatira zake (kuchokera mu gawo 1 pamwambapa: Kutanthauza kuti mpweya wa carbon mu nyanja umapangitsa kuti nyanja ikhale acidity, kutentha kwa nyanja kumapangitsa kuti madzi achuluke komanso kuti madzi a m'nyanja achuluke. kukwera, ndi kutentha kwa pamwamba pa nyanja ndi kuyanjana ndi kutentha kwa mpweya kumabweretsa mvula yamkuntho yoopsa, komanso kusokoneza kwakukulu kwa nyengo "yachibadwa." Izi, ndithudi, zinamasuliridwa mosavuta mu zokambirana za zotsatira za kukhazikitsidwa kwa anthu, ulimi. ndi chitetezo cha chakudya, komanso kukula kwa chiwerengero ndi malo a anthu othawa kwawo chifukwa cha nyengo komanso anthu ena othawa kwawo.

Magawo onse awiriwa, 1 ndi 2, masiku ano akuwoneka ngati odziwikiratu ndipo ayenera kuganiziridwa kuti ndi chidziwitso cholandilidwa. Komabe, tikupitilizabe kuphunzira zambiri ndipo pali phindu lofunikira pakukonzanso chidziwitso chathu cha sayansi ndi zotsatira zake, zomwe tidakhala nazo nthawi ina pamsonkhano uno.

3. Zomwe zimachitika panyanja: Posachedwapa zoyesayesa zathu zatipangitsa kutsimikizira okambirana zanyengo kuti akuyenera kuganizira zotsatira za kusokoneza kwathu kwa nyengo pazachilengedwe komanso zomera ndi zinyama za m'nyanja momwemo. Okambiranawo adapereka lipoti latsopano la IPCC lomwe liyenera kuperekedwa chaka chino. Chifukwa chake, gawo lina la zokambirana zathu ku Paris zinali zokhudzana ndi kuphatikizika kwa kuchuluka kwakukulu kwa sayansi pa gawo ili (gawo 3) la kuphatikiza kwa nyanja yapadziko lonse lapansi pazokambirana zanyengo.

Chifukwa chakuti zonse zikukhudza ife, mosakayikira posachedwapa pakhala mbali yachinayi ya zokambirana zathu zomwe zidzafotokoza zotsatira za anthu za kuvulazidwa kwathu panyanja. Zamoyo ndi zamoyo zikasintha chifukwa cha kutentha, matanthwe a m'nyanja amasungunuka ndi kufa, kapena mitundu ndi masamba azakudya zikomoka chifukwa cha acidity yam'nyanja, kodi izi zidzakhudza bwanji miyoyo ya anthu ndi moyo wawo?

Chomvetsa chisoni n'chakuti, zikuwoneka kuti tikuyang'anabe pa kutsimikizira oyankhulana ndi kufotokozera zovuta za sayansi, za nyengo ndi kuyanjana kwa nyanja ndi zotsatira zake, ndipo sitikuyenda mofulumira kuti tikambirane mayankho. Kumbali ina, njira yaikulu yothetsera kusokonezeka kwathu kwa nyengo ndiyo kuchepetsa ndi kuthetsa kupsyinja kwa mafuta oyaka. Izi ndizovomerezeka, ndipo palibe zotsutsana zenizeni zotsutsa kutero. Pali inertia yokha yoletsa kusintha. Pali ntchito yochuluka yomwe ikuchitika yopitilira kutulutsa mpweya wa kaboni, kuphatikiza zomwe zaperekedwa ndi zowunikira kuchokera ku Global Climate Summit yomwe ikuchitika ku California sabata yomweyo. Choncho, sitingathe kutaya mtima ngakhale titamva kuti tikudutsanso madzi omwewo.

Lonjezo lodzipereka (kudzitamandira), kukhulupilira ndi kutsimikizira chitsanzo chikugwira ntchito bwino kuposa manyazi ndi kudzudzula kupanga zofuna zandale ndikupereka mwayi wokondwerera, zomwe ndizofunikira kwambiri kuti mukwaniritse zofunikira. Titha kuyembekeza kuti zonse zomwe zidachitika zaka zingapo zapitazi kuphatikiza 2018 zikutipangitsa kuti tisiye kuwongolera mpaka kukankhira njira yoyenera-mwa zina chifukwa tapereka zofunikira ndikukonzanso sayansi mobwerezabwereza kwa anthu odziwa zambiri.

Monga woyimira mlandu wakale, ndimadziwa kufunika komanga mlandu mpaka kukhala wosatsutsika kuti apambane. Ndipo, pamapeto, tidzapambana.
