Kusiyanasiyana, Kufanana, Kuphatikizika ndi Kuyesetsa Kwachilungamo mu 2020

Ocean Foundation yakhala ikudzipereka ku mfundo za Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ). A Board of Directors avomereza kuti DEIJ ndi ulendo, ndipo tafotokozera za ulendo wa TOF patsamba lathu. Tayesetsa kukwaniritsa kudzipereka kumeneku pakulemba anthu ntchito, m'mapulogalamu athu komanso poyesetsa kuchita zinthu mwachilungamo komanso kumvetsetsa.

Komabe, sizimamva ngati tikuchita mokwanira - zochitika za 2020 zinali chikumbutso cha kuchuluka komwe kukufunika kusinthidwa. Kuzindikira tsankho si sitepe yoyamba. Tsankho lachikhalidwe lili ndi mbali zambiri zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zovuta kugwetsa gawo lililonse la ntchito yathu. Ndipo, komabe tiyenera kulingalira momwe, ndipo tikuyesera kuchita ntchito yabwinoko nthawi zonse. Tikuyesera kukonza mkati ndi kunja. Ndikufuna kugawana nawo mfundo zazikulu zingapo zantchito yathu.

Zochitika: The Marine Pathways Programme imapereka maphunziro olipidwa kwa ophunzira amitundu omwe amakhala nthawi yachilimwe kapena semesita akuphunzira za ntchito yoteteza nyanja yomwe timachita komanso momwe bungwe lopanda phindu limagwirira ntchito. Wophunzira aliyense amachitanso ntchito yofufuza-wophunzira waposachedwa kwambiri adafufuza ndikukonzekera njira zomwe TOF ingapezeke mosavuta kwa anthu omwe ali ndi vuto lowonera, lakuthupi, kapena lina. Ndidaphunzira zambiri paupangiri wake, monganso tonsefe, ndipo, monga gawo la kukonzanso tsamba lathu, tidatengera malingaliro ake opangitsa kuti zomwe zili zathu zizipezeka mosavuta kwa anthu omwe ali ndi vuto losawona.

Pamene tikuyang'ana kwa ophunzira athu otsatira a Marine Pathways, tikufuna kupereka mwayi wambiri. Tikuyesera kudziwa momwe tingatsimikizire kuti ma internship athu onse akupezeka. Kodi izi zikutanthauza chiyani? Mwa zina, zikutanthauza kuti ndi maphunziro a mliriwu, titha kuthana ndi chopinga chachikulu chomwe chikuimiridwa ndi kukwera mtengo kwa nyumba kudera la DC popanga ma internship omwe ali ophatikizika akutali ndi anthu, kupereka ndalama zothandizira nyumba. , kapena kubwera ndi njira zina.

Misonkhano yofikirika: Phunziro limodzi lomwe tonse tingatengepo pa mliriwu ndikuti kusonkhana pa intaneti ndikotsika mtengo komanso kumatenga nthawi yochepa kusiyana ndi kupita kumisonkhano iliyonse. Ndikukhulupirira kuti misonkhano yonse ya m’tsogolo idzakhala ndi mbali imene imalola kuti anthu azipezekapo pafupifupi—ndipo kukulitsa luso la amene ali ndi zinthu zochepa kuti apiteko.

TOF ndiye adathandizira DEI ndipo adathandizira mawu ofunikira a Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson pamsonkhano wapadziko lonse wa North American Association for Environmental Education wa 2020, womwe udachitika pafupifupi. Dr. Johnson wangomaliza kukonza bukulo Zonse Zomwe Tingapulumutse, akufotokozedwa ngati "nkhani zokopa komanso zowunikira kuchokera kwa amayi omwe ali patsogolo pa kayendetsedwe ka nyengo omwe akugwiritsa ntchito choonadi, kulimba mtima, ndi zothetsera kutsogolera anthu patsogolo."

Monga ndanenera, madera omwe akufunika kusintha ndi ambiri. Tinayamba kupindula ndi chidziwitso chowonjezeka pazifukwa izi. Pa udindo wanga monga wapampando wa bungwe la Confluence Philanthropy, bungwe lomwe likugwira ntchito yowonetsetsa kuti ndalama zogulira ndalama zikuwonetsa zomwe timayendera pagulu, ndidakakamiza kuti msonkhano wathu wa 2020 uchitikire ku Puerto Rico, kuti osunga ndalama ndi ena awone okha momwe angachitire. Anthu a ku Puerto Rican ku America akhala akuzunzidwa ndi mabungwe azachuma, aboma, komanso mabungwe othandiza anzawo, zomwe zikuwonjezera mavuto omwe amabwera chifukwa cha mphepo zamkuntho ziwiri komanso chivomezi. Posakhalitsa, tinayambitsa "A Call to Advance Racial Equity in Investment Industry," mgwirizano ndi Hip Hop Caucus (tsopano ndi osayina omwe akuimira $ 1.88 triliyoni m'zinthu zomwe zikuyang'aniridwa).

Tikuyesanso kuwonetsetsa kuti njira zothetsera mavuto am'nyanja zimayamba ndi kuyanjana komwe kumayambira. Zokhudzana ndi izi, tikuthandizira zolemba zatsopano zomwe zimatchedwa #PlasticJustice zomwe tikukhulupirira kuti zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chida chophunzitsira ndikulimbikitsa opanga mfundo kuti achitepo kanthu. Monga chitsanzo chimodzi, pa ntchito yosiyana, tinapemphedwa kuti tilembe malamulo a dziko kuti athetse kuipitsidwa kwa pulasitiki. Izi zitha kukhala mwayi waukulu wozindikira ndikuletsa kuvulala kwamtsogolo-motero tidaonetsetsa kuti tikuphatikiza ziganizo zothana ndi chilungamo cha chilengedwe cha kuwonekera kwa madera omwe ali pafupi ndi malo opangira pulasitiki, pakati pa mfundo zina kuti tipewe zovuta zina kwa anthu omwe ali pachiwopsezo.

Chifukwa The Ocean Foundation ndi bungwe lapadziko lonse lapansi, ndiyenera kuganiziranso za DEIJ padziko lonse lapansi. Tiyenera kulimbikitsa kumvetsetsa kwa chikhalidwe cha mayiko, kuphatikizapo kuchita nawo anthu amtunduwu kuti awone momwe zosowa zawo ndi chidziwitso cha chikhalidwe chawo zikuphatikizidwa mu ntchito yathu. Izi zikuphatikizapo kugwiritsa ntchito chidziwitso chakumaloko kuti zikuthandizeni pa ntchito yanu. Titha kufunsa ngati maboma akupereka thandizo lachindunji kutsidya kwa nyanja kaya akuchirikiza kapena kunyozetsa DEIJ m'mayiko omwe timagwira ntchito—ufulu wachibadwidwe ndi mfundo za DEIJ ndizofanana. Ndipo, komwe TOF imapezeka (monga ku Mexico) kodi timakhala ndi anthu osankhika okha, kapena tagwiritsa ntchito mandala a DEIJ polemba antchito kapena makontrakitala? Pomaliza, monga ma politicos osiyanasiyana amalankhula za Green New Deal / Building Back Better / Building Back Bluer (kapena yathu kusintha kwa buluuchinenero) tikuganiza mokwanira za kusintha chabe? Kusintha kotereku kumatsimikizira kuti ntchito zilizonse zomwe zachotsedwa zimasinthidwa ndi ntchito zolipidwa, komanso kuti madera onse ali ndi gawo ndikupindula ndi zoyesayesa zothana ndi kusintha kwa nyengo, kukonza mpweya ndi madzi, ndi kuchepetsa poizoni.

Gulu la TOF la International Ocean Acidification Initiative lidakwanitsa kupitiriza maphunziro awo owunika ndi kuchepetsa OA pafupifupi kwa opezekapo mu Africa yonse. Asayansiwa amaphunzitsidwa momwe angayang'anire chemistry ya m'nyanja m'madzi a mayiko awo. Opanga zisankho ochokera m'mayikowa amaphunzitsidwanso momwe angapangire ndondomeko ndi kukhazikitsa mapulogalamu omwe amathandiza kuthana ndi zotsatira za acidity ya nyanja m'madzi awo, kuonetsetsa kuti zothetsera mavuto zimayambira kunyumba.

Pali njira yayitali yokonza zolakwika, kusintha zolakwika ndikuyika kufanana kwenikweni ndi chilungamo.

Ndi gawo la gawo la pulogalamu ya TOF ya Underwater Cultural Heritage yowunikira kugwirizana pakati pa chikhalidwe ndi chilengedwe, kuphatikizapo ntchito ya nyanja pamalonda a mayiko ndi milandu yakale yotsutsana ndi anthu. Mu Novembala 2020, a TOF Senior Fellow Ole Varmer adalemba nawo gawo lotchedwa "Kukumbukira Middle Passage pa nyanja ya Atlantic ku Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction.” Nkhaniyi ikusonyeza kuti gawo lina la pansi pa nyanjayo lilembedwe pamapu ndi machati monga chikumbutso cha anthu pafupifupi 1.8 miliyoni a ku Africa amene anataya miyoyo yawo panyanja pa nthawi ya malonda a akapolo a m’nyanja ya Atlantic ndi anthu 11 miliyoni amene anamaliza ulendowu n’kugulitsidwa m’dzikolo. ukapolo. Chikumbutso choterocho chimapangidwa kuti chikhale chikumbutso cha chisalungamo chakale ndikuthandizira kupitiriza kutsata chilungamo.

Ntchito yanga monga Purezidenti wa The Ocean Foundation ndikusunga kulumikizana, kuwonekera, ndi kuyankha ndi kuyesetsa kuwonetsetsa kuti DEIJ ndi ntchito yolumikizirana kuti tilimbikitse DEIJ mdera lathu lonse komanso ntchito yathu. Ndayesera kuyang'ana pakupanga kulimba mtima pamaso pa nkhani zovuta, ndikukhala ndi chiyembekezo pamene uthenga wabwino ubwera, ndikuonetsetsa kuti tonse ogwira ntchito timalankhula za zonsezi. Ndine wonyadira zomwe takwaniritsa pa DEIJ mpaka pano, makamaka kudzipereka kwathu pakusiyanitsa gulu lathu, antchito athu, ndi mwayi womwe ungapezeke kwa achinyamata omwe atha kukhala omenyera nkhondo panyanja.

Ndikuthokoza kwambiri kuleza mtima kwa mamembala a komiti yathu ya DEIJ pondithandiza kundiphunzitsa, komanso kundithandiza kuzindikira kuti sindingathe kumvetsetsa kuti kukhala munthu wakhungu m'dziko lathu kumatani, koma ndikuzindikira kuti kungakhale kovuta. tsiku lililonse, ndipo ndimatha kuzindikira kuti dziko lino lili ndi tsankho lambiri komanso lokhazikika kuposa momwe ndimaganizira kale. Ndipo, kuti tsankho lokhazikikali labweretsa chiwonongeko chachikulu pazachikhalidwe, zachuma komanso zachilengedwe. Ndikhoza kuphunzira kuchokera kwa omwe angathe kulankhula ndi zochitika zawo. Sizokhudza ine, kapena zomwe ndingathe "kuwerenga" pamutuwu ngakhale pamene ndikupeza zofunikira zomwe zandithandiza panjira.

Pamene TOF ikuyang'ana zaka khumi zachitatu, takhazikitsa ndondomeko yochitirapo kanthu yomwe ikukhazikika ndikuphatikiza kudzipereka ku DEIJ komwe kuwonetsedwe kudzera mu:

• Kukhazikitsa machitidwe olingana m'mbali zonse za ntchito yathu, kuyambira pakupereka ndalama ndi kugawa mpaka ntchito zoteteza.
• Kupanga mphamvu zochitira chilungamo ndi kuphatikizidwa m'madera omwe timagwira ntchito, kuyang'ana ntchito zakunja kwa United States zomwe zili ndi madera a m'mphepete mwa nyanja omwe akufunika kwambiri.
• Kukulitsa pulogalamu ya Marine Pathways Internship ndikuthandizana ndi ena kuti apititse patsogolo kupezeka kwa maphunziro awo.
• Kukhazikitsa chofungatira cha Fiscal Sponsorship Project chomwe chimalimbikitsa malingaliro a atsogoleri omwe akubwera omwe atha kukhala ndi mwayi wocheperako kuposa ma projekiti ena omwe takhala nawo.
• Maphunziro amkati anthawi zonse kuti athe kuthana ndi kukulitsa kumvetsetsa kwathu nkhani za DEIJ, kukulitsa luso loletsa makhalidwe oipa, ndikulimbikitsa kufanana kwenikweni ndi kuphatikizidwa.
• Kusunga Board of Directors, ogwira ntchito, ndi Board of Advisors omwe amawonetsa ndi kulimbikitsa zomwe timayendera.
• Kuphatikizira zopereka zachilungamo komanso zofananira m'mapulogalamu athu ndikugwiritsa ntchito izi kudzera m'magulu achifundo.
• Kulimbikitsa zokambirana za sayansi, komanso kugawana chidziwitso pazikhalidwe ndi mayiko osiyanasiyana, kulimbikitsa luso, komanso kusamutsa ukadaulo wapamadzi.

Tiyeza ndi kugawana zomwe tapita patsogolo paulendowu. Kuti tinene nkhani yathu tidzagwiritsa ntchito Kuwunika, Kuwunika, ndi Kuphunzira ku DEIJ Ma metric ena adzaphatikizanso kusiyana komweko (Gender, BIPOC, Disability) komanso kusiyanasiyana kwa chikhalidwe ndi malo. Kuonjezera apo, tikufuna kuyeza kusungidwa kwa antchito a anthu osiyanasiyana, ndikuyesa udindo wawo (kukwezedwa kukhala utsogoleri / maudindo oyang'anira) komanso ngati TOF ikuthandizira "kukweza" antchito athu, komanso anthu omwe ali m'gawo lathu (mkati kapena kunja) .

Pali njira yayitali yokonza zolakwika, kusintha zolakwika ndikuyika kufanana kwenikweni ndi chilungamo.

Ngati muli ndi malingaliro aliwonse okhudza momwe gulu la TOF lingathandizire kapena momwe lingathandizire pazabwino osati kulimbikitsa zoyipa, chonde ndilembeni ine kapena Eddie Love monga Wapampando wa Komiti ya DEIJ.
