Kusanthula Kwatsopano: Nkhani Yabizinesi ya Migodi Yam'nyanja Yakuya - Yovuta Kwambiri komanso Yosatsimikiziridwa Kwambiri - Siikuwonjezera

Lipoti lapeza kuti machulukidwe opangidwa pansi pa nyanja ali ndi zovuta zambiri zaukadaulo ndipo amanyalanyaza kukwera kwazinthu zatsopano zomwe zingathetse kufunikira kwa migodi yakuya; akuchenjeza osunga ndalama kuti aganizire kawiri asanathandizire makampani omwe sanatsimikizidwe

WASHINGTON, DC (2024 February 29) - Ndi kuopsa kwa chilengedwe cha migodi m'nyanja yakuya kale zolembedwa bwino, a lipoti latsopano imapereka kuwunika kokwanira mpaka pano momwe bizinesiyo ilili yolimba pazachuma, kuwulula zitsanzo zake zazachuma zomwe sizingachitike, zovuta zaukadaulo komanso kusakwanira kwa msika zomwe zimasokoneza kwambiri mwayi wake wopeza phindu. 

Idatulutsidwa pomwe boma la US likuganiza zochita migodi yakuya m'madzi am'madzi am'madzi komanso msonkhano womwe ukuyembekezeredwa kwambiri wa International Seabed Authority (Marichi 18-29) - bungwe lomwe lili ndi ntchito yoyang'anira migodi yakuya m'nyanja zam'nyanja zam'madzi. - kafukufukuyu akuwonetsa kuopsa koyika ndalama m'makampani osavomerezeka omwe akukonzekera kupanga malonda osasinthika omwe ali ndi zosadziwika komanso zowoneka bwino za chilengedwe, chikhalidwe cha anthu ndi zachuma.

"Pankhani ya migodi ya m'nyanja yakuya, osunga ndalama ayenera kukhala tcheru ndikuchita khama," atero a Bobbi-Jo Dobush a Ocean Foundation komanso m'modzi mwa olemba lipotilo. Deep Seabed Mining Siyenera Kuwononga Ndalama. “Kuyesa kukumba miyala pansi pa nyanja ndi ntchito ya mafakitale yosatsimikizika yodzala ndi kusatsimikizika kwaukadaulo, zachuma, ndi malamulo. Kuphatikiza apo, makampaniwa akukumana ndi chitsutso champhamvu cha Amwenye komanso nkhawa zaufulu wa anthu. Zinthu zonsezi zikuwonjezera ngozi zomwe zingachitike pazachuma komanso zamalamulo kwa onse omwe ali ndi ndalama zaboma komanso wamba. ”

Imodzi mwa mbendera zofiira kwambiri, malinga ndi lipoti, ndi makampani mopanda chiyembekezo zitsanzo zachuma zomwe zimanyalanyaza zotsatirazi:

• Yaikulu luso mavuto m'zigawo pa kuya kwambiri pansi padziko. Mu Fall 2022, kuyesa koyamba kwa migodi ya m'nyanja yakuya (DSM) m'madzi apadziko lonse lapansi, komwe kudachitika pang'ono kwambiri, kunali ndi zovuta zaukadaulo. Owonerera awona momwe kulili kovuta komanso kosadziŵika bwino kugwira ntchito pansi pa nyanja.
• Msika wosasinthika wa minerals. Frontrunners apanga mapulani abizinesi poganiza kuti kufunikira kwa mchere wina womwe utha kupezeka m'nyanja yakuya udzapitilira kukula. Komabe, mitengo yazitsulo sinakwere motsatira kupanga magalimoto amagetsi: pakati pa 2016 ndi 2023 EV yakwera 2,000% ndipo mitengo ya cobalt idatsika 10%. Lipoti loperekedwa ndi bungwe la International Seabed Authority (ISA) linapeza kuti pali kusatsimikizika kwakukulu pamitengo yazitsulo zamalonda pamene makontrakitala ayamba kupanga, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti mchere wamtengo wapatali wochokera pansi pa nyanja ukhale wopambana ndipo motero umapanga phindu lochepa kapena palibe phindu. .
• Padzakhala a mtengo wokwera wapatsogolo wogwirizana ndi DSM, molingana ndi mafakitale opangira mafuta ambiri, kuphatikiza mafuta ndi gasi. Ndizosamveka kuganiza kuti mapulojekiti a DSM angachite bwino kuposa ntchito zamafakitale wamba, magawo awiri mwa atatu omwe amapitilira bajeti ndi pafupifupi 50%.

"Mchere wa seabed - nickel, cobalt, manganese, ndi mkuwa - si "batire mu thanthwe" monga momwe makampani amigodi amanenera. Ena mwa migodi imeneyi imagwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo womaliza wa mabatire agalimoto yamagetsi koma opanga magalimoto akupeza kale njira zabwino komanso zotetezeka zopangira mabatire, "atero a Maddie Warner a The Ocean Foundation komanso m'modzi mwa olemba lipotilo. "Posachedwa, zatsopano zama batri zitha kuchepetsa kufunika kwa mchere wam'madzi."

Ndalama zomwe zingatheke ndi ngongole zimakulitsidwa ndi ziwopsezo zodziwika komanso zosadziwika m'mbali zonse za DSM, zomwe zimapangitsa kubweza ndalama kukhala kosatsimikizika. Ziwopsezozi zikuphatikizapo:

• Malamulo osakwanira m'magawo adziko lonse lapansi ndi apadziko lonse lapansi omwe, m'mawonekedwe awo apano, amayembekezera zokwera mtengo komanso zomangika kwambiri. Izi zikuphatikiza zitsimikiziro zazikulu zazachuma / ma bond, zofunikira za inshuwaransi, mangawa okhwima amakampani komanso zofunikira pakuwunika kwanthawi yayitali.
• Nkhawa za mbiri ogwirizana ndi makampani otsogola a DSM. Oyambitsa koyambirira sanawononge chiwopsezo kapena kuwonongeka kwenikweni chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe kapena zionetsero pamalingaliro awo abizinesi, kupatsa omwe angakhale osunga ndalama ndi opanga zisankho chithunzi chosakwanira. Mwachitsanzo, pamene The Metals Company (TMC) idalembedwa koyamba pa stock exchange ya US, mabungwe aboma adatsutsa kuti kusungitsa kwake koyambirira sikunaulule mokwanira kuopsa kwake; Securities Exchange Commission idavomereza ndipo idafuna kuti TMC ipereke zosintha.
• Kusamvetsetseka kwa yemwe adzalipire mtengowo za kuwonongeka kwa zachilengedwe zam'nyanja.  
• Kuyerekeza kosocheretsa ndi migodi yapadziko lapansi ndi kuchulutsa zonena za Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).

Chowonjezera ku ziwopsezo zonsezi ndi chikakamizo chomwe chikuchulukirachulukira padziko lonse lapansi chofuna kuyimitsa migodi yakuya m'nyanja. Pakadali pano, mayiko 24 apempha kuti aletse bizinesiyo, kuyimitsa, kapena kuyimitsa kaye kusamala.

Mochulukirachulukira, mabanki, mabungwe azachuma ndi mabungwe a inshuwaransi nawonso akayikira za kuthekera kwamakampaniwo. Mu Julayi 2023, mabungwe azachuma 37 adalimbikitsa maboma kuti ayime kaye migodi yakuya mpaka kuopsa kwa chilengedwe, chikhalidwe cha anthu, ndi zachuma kuzindikirika ndipo njira zina zochotsera migodi yakuya zafufuzidwa.

"Zovuta zazikulu ziyenera kugonjetsedwa DSM isanayambe kudziwika kuti ndi yothandiza pazachuma kapena ngati bizinesi yodalirika yomwe ingathandize kwambiri pazachuma kwa anthu," adatero. Mabanki padziko lonse lapansi kuphatikiza Lloyds, NatWest, Standard Chartered, ABN Amro, ndi BBVA nawonso adakana ntchitoyo.

Kuphatikiza apo, makampani 39 adasainira malonjezano osayika ndalama ku DSM, osalola kuti migodi yomwe imakumbidwa kuti isalowe m'magawo awo komanso osatulutsa mchere kuchokera kunyanja yakuzama. Makampaniwa akuphatikizapo Google, Samsung, Philips, Patagonia, BMW, Rivian, Volkswagen ndi Salesforce.

Posambira motsutsana ndi mafunde, maiko ena, monga Norway ndi Cook Islands, atsegula madzi awo ku ntchito zofufuza za migodi. Boma la US likuyembekezeka kutulutsa lipoti pofika pa Marichi 1 lowunika momwe bizinesiyo ikuyendera, pomwe TMC ili ndi pempho lomwe likudikirira kuti boma la US lipereke ndalama zomangira malo opangira migodi ku Texas. Mayiko omwe akutsata migodi ya m'madzi akuya akudzipatula kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. "Pamene nthumwi zikukonzekera Gawo la 29 la International Seabed Authority (Gawo Loyamba), lomwe lidzachitika kuyambira pa Marichi 18-29, 2024 ku Kingston, Jamaica, lipoti ili likupereka chitsogozo cha momwe osunga ndalama ndi ochita zisankho aboma angawunikire mozama za chiwopsezo chazachuma. za migodi yomwe ingathe kuchitika pansi pa nyanja,” adatero Mark.
