Ndine rombo rakanaka! Ndakapedzera rutivi rwaAugust muLisbon, Portugal uye rutivi rwayo mumhenderekedzo yegungwa yeMaine—chichindipa chiono ndiri kurutivi rumwe norumwe rweAtlantic. KuLisbon, ndaishanda pakudyidzana kutsva neFuture Ocean Alliance neLuso-American Development Foundation. Ndakashanyira mhenderekedzo yegungwa yakaisvonaka ndokufamba muEastern Atlantic kuti nditonhodze—kwaidziya zvikuru ikoko. Kudzokera kuUS uye kusvika kuMaine kumisangano yakatevedzana nevadyidzani veTOF uye kupa hurukuro, ndakakwanisa kupedza chikamu chezuva rega rega ndiri pamusoro pemvura, ndichiteerera magull egungwa, uye ndichiona zvikepe zvezvikepe zvichipfuura. Kana ari munhu wose, nguva dzose zvinofadza kuva kunze kwemakamuri ekusangana uye pedyo negungwa. Uye, hongu, kutaura nevanhu avo kubatana negungwa hakusi kungonakidzwa chete, asiwo zvehupfumi.

Wanga uri muna August wakaisvonaka—kwese kwandave ndiri. Vanhu vanoita sevari kuwedzera kuziva nezvekuchinja kwavanofarira kumahombekombe kwemahombekombe-kunyanya mushure meSuperstorm Sandy uye zvimwe zviitiko zvekunze zvakanyanyisa. Asi, kuchinja kunoshamisa kwegore rimwe chete kuEast Coast yeU.

York County inogara mamaira mazana matatu emahombekombe eMaine uye mamwe emahombekombe eNew England anonyanya kufarirwa - zvichiita kuti ive yakakosha kuhupfumi hweMaine. Hurumende yeMaine pachayo inonyatsoziva makiromita mazana matatu nemazana mashanu emahombekombe egungwa ayo anokwevera zviuru zvevashanyi, anounza mari yakakura kubva pakuredza nekubata hove, uye anotsigira kugara zvakanaka kwenharaunda dziri kure nemahombekombe. Kubva 300, nyika yakagadzira suite yemazano anozivikanwa se Coastal Hazards Resiliency Zvishandiso Project. Kuburikidza nechirongwa ichi, nyika inoshanda nemataundi ega ega pachikumbiro chavo, ichipa fungidziro dzekutanga dzemepu uye kuita misangano yenharaunda-ichikurudzira kugadzirisa matambudziko uko matambudziko achanyanya uye uko sarudzo dzinofanirwa kuitwa - munharaunda. Asi hazviiti kuti zvisarudzo zvive nyore.

Sezvakataurwa neYork, Maine, director director wenharaunda nyaya yapfuura, sezvaaiongorora kukuvadzwa kwakadzokororwa kwemudhuri wegungwa nemumugwagwa mukuru wepamahombekombe: “… mubvunzo wakazova wokuti, unoramba uchiigadzira here kana kuti unoirega ichienda. Takasuwa Sandy, asi nokukurumidza kana gare gare tichava nekurova kwakaipa. Saka unosimbisa, kugarisa kana kudzokera?

Chokwadi, ndiwo mubvunzo watakaedza kupindura pamusangano wepasi-Sandy wevanozvipira vanofarira zvegungwa chirimo chapfuura muLong Beach, New York. Iri kunetsa varidzi vedzimba pamhenderekedzo yeJersey yakatarisana sezvo Mauto Corps eInjiniya achikurudzira kuvaka mamaira ematombo matsva ejecha kuchengetedza nharaunda dzemahombekombe - kugadzirisa kunodhura, kuve nechokwadi. Ndiwowo mubvunzo uri kutariswa nenharaunda dzepasirese nezveramangwana—vachitora maonero ekuti kuronga kunenge kuine mwero wegungwa muna 2030 kwakakodzera kuita izvozvi, kunyanya kana zvasvika pakubvumidza budiriro.

Uye muGulf yeMexico, nyika dzemahombekombe dzichiri kushanda kuti dzivakezve kubva kuKatrina uye kuronga ramangwana. Mapurojekiti akadaro 100-1000 Dzosera Coastal Alabama muMobile Bay vakazvipira vakananga mukuvaka patsva maoyster reef ayo aimbovharira mhenderekedzo yegungwa. Haisi chete mitsva yeoyster reef inopa chikafu nekusefa, asiwo maruva ehuswa anozadza kumashure, achishanda sedutu buffer uye sefa yemvura yakasvibiswa inoyerera ichibva panyika isati yasvika kuBay uye hupenyu mukati. MuNew Orleans pachayo, vachiri kuvakazve nharaunda, uye kuputsa zvivakwa zvakasiiwa (10,000 dzimba kusvika zvino). Kufunga nezve kusimba ipapo kunoreva kuvaka patsva nzvimbo yekugara pamhenderekedzo yegungwa kuitira zvinangwa zvedutu, asiwo nezveimwe nzira yekurarama nayo kuderedza njodzi kumhuri dzinoredza nevamwe. Mubvunzurudzo ichangoburwa, Meya Mitch Landrieu akataura kuti kunyangwe paine mabasa mazhinji asara. "Ini ndinofunga kuti takabudirira kuita chinhu chakakosha, chaive chekufunga nezvekuvaka guta kumashure sezvaaifanira kunge ari nguva dzose kwete sezvaaive."

Kumahombekombe ekumadokero kweUS, pakati pekuedza kwakawanda munharaunda dzemahombekombe kubva kuBaja California kuenda kuAleutians, imwe yenzira dzekutanga dzedunhu inoiswa muSea Level Rise Adaptation Strategy yeSan Diego Bay (2012). Iri zano, iro rakatsigirwa neThe San Diego Foundation, rakakonzerwa nekuedza kwekubatana kwakakura kwevanobatanidzwa, kusanganisira hurumende dzenzvimbo dzakatenderedza San Diego Bay, Port yeSan Diego, San Diego Airport Authority, nevamwe vazhinji.

Uye, hongu nekuti kune mazana emienzaniso yakadai iri kuitwa pasi rese, kufunga kuti ungawana sei ruzivo rwakanyanya rwuripo kunogona kukurira. Ndiko uko mubatanidzwa wakasiyana unonzi Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKEx.org) unogona kubatsira nharaunda. CAKE yakavambwa muna 2010 neIsland Press neEcoAdapt, uye ichitungamirirwa neEcoAdapt, CAKE ine chinangwa chekuvaka hwaro hweruzivo rwekutarisira masisitimu echisikigo uye akavakirwa pakatarisana nekushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze nekukurumidza. Webhusaiti iyi inounganidza zvidzidzo zvenyaya, maforamu enharaunda, uye mamwe maturusi ekuchinjana ruzivo kubatsira mapato anofarira kugovera ruzivo rwekuti vanhu vari kupindura sei nehungwaru uye chiono kune kutyisidzira kwavanosangana nako.

Pakupera kwezuva, chiito chekudzikisa kutyisidzira uye kudzikisira nekudzikisa kuburitswa kwezvinhu zvinowedzera ndiyo yakanaka; sezvazviri kuita kukurudzira kushandiswa kwesimba rinogara kwenguva refu rinopa tekinoroji. Panguva imwe cheteyo, hungava upenzi kunharaunda idzi, kunyanya nharaunda dzomumhenderekedzo yegungwa nedzezvitsuwa, kudzivisa kuita mari yenguva nesimba rokuita zvavanogona kuronga remangwana rakanyorova, risingafungidziriki, nekutora chikamu uye kutsigirwa kwevose. kwedu isu vanoda gungwa.

Uye saka, sezvatinopedza zhizha regungwa kuchamhembe kwehemisphere, uye takamirira nemufaro zhizha regungwa kumaodzanyemba kwehemisphere, ndinokukumbira kuti ubatane nenharaunda yeThe Ocean Foundation yevatsigiri vane hanya nezveramangwana remakungwa.  Ipa kune yedu Ocean Leadership Fund nhasi.
