Iyantlukwano, uBulungisa, ukuBandakanya kunye neenzame zoBulungisa zika-2020

I-Ocean Foundation sele izinikele kwimigaqo yokwahluka, uBulungisa, ukuBandakanya kunye noBulungisa (DEIJ). IBhodi yethu yaBalawuli iye yavuma ukuba i-DEIJ luhambo, kwaye siluchazile uhambo lwe-TOF kwiwebhusayithi yethu. Sisebenzele ukufezekisa oko kuzibophelela ekufuneni abantu, kwiinkqubo zethu nangokuzamela ukulunga nokuqonda okusisiseko.

Nangona kunjalo, ayivakali ngathi senza ngokwaneleyo-iziganeko zowama-2020 zazisisikhumbuzo sokuba kufuneka kutshintshwe kangakanani na. Ukuqondwa kocalucalulo akulonyathelo lokuqala. Ubuhlanga bobume bezakhiwo buneenkalo ezininzi ezenza kube nzima ukubhukuqa kuyo yonke indawo yomsebenzi wethu. Kwaye, kodwa kufuneka sifumanise ukuba njani, kwaye sizama ukwenza umsebenzi ongcono ngalo lonke ixesha. Sizama ukuphucula ngaphakathi nangaphandle. Ndingathanda ukwabelana ngamagqabantshintshi ambalwa omsebenzi wethu.

Izifundo: INkqubo yeeNdlela zaseLwandle ibonelela ngoqeqesho oluhlawulelwayo kubafundi bebala abachitha ihlobo okanye isiqingatha sonyaka befunda ngomsebenzi wolondolozo lolwandle esiwenzayo kunye nendlela umbutho ongenzi nzuzo osebenza ngayo. Umntu ngamnye oqeqeshelwa umsebenzi wenza iprojekthi yophando-oyena mntu usandul' ukuqeqeshelwa umsebenzi waphanda waza walungiselela intetho ngeendlela apho i-TOF inokufikelela khona ngakumbi kubantu abanokukhubazeka okubonakalayo, ngokomzimba, okanye okunye. Ndifunde okuninzi kwinkcazo-ntetho yakhe, njengathi sonke, kwaye, njengenxalenye yoyilo ngokutsha iwebhusayithi yethu ndamkela iingcebiso zakhe zokwenza umxholo wethu ufikeleleke ngakumbi kubantu abanengxaki yokubona.

Njengoko sijonge kubafundi bethu abalandelayo be-Marine Pathways, sifuna ukunika amathuba amaninzi. Sizama ukufumana indlela yokuqinisekisa ukuba zonke ii-internship zethu zifikeleleka ngakumbi. Ithetha ntoni le nto? Inxalenye, ithetha ukuba ngezifundo zobhubhane, singakwazi ukoyisa umqobo obalulekileyo omelwe lixabiso eliphezulu lezindlu kwindawo ye-DC ngokwenza ama-internship adityaniswe kwindawo ekude kunye nomntu, ukuxhasa izindlu. , okanye ukuza namanye amacebo.

Iindibano ezifikelelekayo: Isifundo esinye esinokusithatha sonke kubhubhane kukuba ukuhlanganisana kwi-Intanethi akubizi kakhulu kwaye kudla ixesha elincinane kunokuhambela intlanganiso nganye. Ndinethemba lokuba zonke iindibano zexesha elizayo ziya kuquka icandelo elivumela abantu ukuba bazizimase phantse—kwaye ngaloo ndlela kwandise amandla abo banezixhobo ezimbalwa zokuzimasa.

I-TOF ibingumxhasi we-DEI kwaye ixhase inqaku eliphambili likaGqr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson kwinkomfa yesizwe ye-2020 North American Association for Environmental Education, eyabanjwa phantse. UGqr. Johnson usandula ukugqiba ukuhlela incwadi Konke Esinako Ukukugcina, echazwe "njengezincoko ezivuselelayo nezikhanyayo ezivela kwabasetyhini abaphambili kwintshukumo yemozulu abasebenzisa inyaniso, isibindi, kunye nezisombululo zokukhokelela uluntu phambili."

Njengoko benditshilo, iindawo ezifuna utshintsho zininzi. Siye safumana inzuzo kulwazi olwandisiweyo malunga nale miba. Kwindima yam njengosihlalo webhodi yeConfluence Philanthropy, umbutho osebenza ukuqinisekisa ukuba iipotfoliyo zotyalo-mali zibonisa eyona milinganiselo yethu inobulungisa ekuhlaleni, ndiye ndanyanzelisa ukuba indibano yethu yowama-2020 ibanjelwe ePuerto Rico, ukunika abatyali-mali kunye nabanye abantu ukuba bajonge indlela. Abantu basePuerto Rican baseMerika baye baphathwa kakubi ngamaziko emali, urhulumente, kunye namaziko anceda abantu, nto leyo eyandisa ucelomngeni olubangelwa ziinkanyamba ezimbini ezitshabalalisayo nenyikima. Kungekudala emva koko, siye saphehlelela “Ikhwelo lokuPhuhlisa uBulungisa bobuhlanga kuShishino loTyalo-mali,” ubambiswano neQumrhu leHip Hop (ngoku elinabatyikityi abamele i-1.88 yetriliyoni yee-asethi eziphantsi kolawulo).

Sikwazama ukuqinisekisa ukuba izisombululo kwiingxaki zolwandle ziqala ngokulingana kumthombo wazo. Ngokunxulumene noku, sixhasa ixwebhu elitsha elibizwa ngokuba yi-#PlasticJustice esinethemba lokuba liya kusebenza njengesixhobo sokufundisa kwaye likhuthaze abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo ukuba bathathe inyathelo. Njengomzekelo omnye, kwiprojekthi eyahlukileyo, sacelwa ukuba sibhale uyilo lomthetho wesizwe ukulungisa ungcoliseko lweplastiki. Ezi zingaba ngamathuba amahle okuxilonga kunye nokuthintela umonakalo kwixesha elizayo-ngaloo ndlela siye saqinisekisa ukuba sibandakanya amagatya okujongana nemiba yobulungisa bendalo yokuvezwa koluntu olukufutshane nezixhobo zokuvelisa iplastiki, phakathi kweminye imigaqo-nkqubo yokuthintela ingozi eyongezelelweyo kuluntu olusengozini.

Ngenxa yokuba i-Ocean Foundation ngumbutho wamazwe ngamazwe, kufuneka ndicinge nge-DEIJ kwimeko yehlabathi ngokunjalo. Kufuneka sikhuthaze ukuqondana kwenkcubeko yamazwe ngamazwe, kuquka ukubandakanya abantu bomthonyama ukuze babone indlela iimfuno zabo nolwazi lwemveli oludityaniswa ngayo kumsebenzi wethu. Oku kuquka ukusebenzisa ulwazi lwasekuhlaleni ukunceda kumsebenzi wakho. Sinokubuza ukuba ngaba oorhulumente banika uncedo oluthe ngqo phesheya nokuba bayayixhasa okanye bayayijongela phantsi i-DEIJ kumazwe esisebenza kuwo—amalungelo oluntu kunye nemigaqo ye-DEIJ iyafana ngokusisiseko. Kwaye, apho i-TOF inobukho (njengaseMexico) ngaba sisebenza kuphela ngabaphezulu, okanye siye sasebenzisa ilensi ye-DEIJ ekuqeshweni kwabasebenzi okanye iikontraka? Okokugqibela, njengeepolitiki ezahlukeneyo zithetha malunga neDili eNtsha eluhlaza / uKwakha uBuyela ngcono / uKwakha uBuyr eBuyr (okanye eyethu shift blueulwimi) sicinga ngokwaneleyo malunga neenguqu nje? Ezo nguqu ziqinisekisa ukuba nayiphi na imisebenzi ecinyiweyo ithatyathelw’ indawo yimisebenzi ehlawulwa ngokuthelekiswayo, kwanokuba lonke uluntu lunendima kwaye luyaxhamla kwiinzame zokujongana nokutshintsha kwemozulu, ukuphucula umgangatho womoya namanzi, kunye nokunciphisa ityhefu.

Iqela le-TOF's International Ocean Acidization Initiative likwazile ukuqhubeka nohlolo lwe-OA yalo kunye noqeqesho lokunciphisa ngokubonakalayo kwabo bazileyo kwi-Afrika iphela. Izazinzulu ziqeqeshelwe indlela yokubeka iliso kwi-chemistry yolwandle kumanzi amazwe abo. Abenzi bezigqibo zomgaqo-nkqubo abasuka kuloo mazwe baphinde baqeqeshwe kwindlela yokuyila imigaqo-nkqubo kunye nokuphumeza iinkqubo ezinceda ukujongana nemiphumo ye-acidification yolwandle emanzini abo, ukuqinisekisa ukuba izisombululo ziqala ekhaya.

Kukho indlela ende yokulungisa iziphene, ukubuyisela umva iziphoso kunye nokuzinzisa ukulingana nobulungisa nobulungisa.

Kuyinxalenye yendima yenkqubo ye-TOF yeNkcubeko yeNkcubeko eNgaphantsi kwamanzi ukuqaqambisa uqhagamshelwano phakathi kwenkcubeko nelifa lemveli, kubandakanywa indima yolwandle kurhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho oluyimbali olunxamnye noluntu. NgoNovemba ka-2020, uMlingane oPhezulu we-TOF u-Ole Varmer wabhala icwecwe elinesihloko esithi “Ukukhumbula uMda oPhakathi kulwandle lweAtlantiki kwiiNdawo eziNgaphaya koMmandla weSizwe.” Eli nqaku licebisa ukuba inxalenye yomhlaba wolwandle iphawulwe kwiimephu nakwiitshati njengesikhumbuzo esiqikelelwa kwi-1.8 yezigidi zabantu baseAfrika abaphulukana nobomi babo elwandle ngexesha lokurhweba ngamakhoboka kwi-Atlantiki kunye ne-11 lezigidi ezilugqibileyo uhambo lwazo zathengiswa elwandle. ubukhoboka. Isikhumbuzo esinjalo senzelwe ukukhonza njengesikhumbuzo sokungabikho kokusesikweni kwangaphambili kunye negalelo ekuqhubekeni kokusesikweni.

Umsebenzi wam njengoMongameli we-Ocean Foundation kukugcina unxibelelwano, ukungafihli, kunye nokuphendula kunye nomsebenzi wokuqinisekisa ukuba i-DEIJ ngumzamo wokudibanisa ngokwenene ukuze ngokwenene sikhuthaze i-DEIJ kulo lonke uluntu lwethu kunye nomsebenzi wethu. Ndizamile ukugxila ekwakheni ukomelela phambi kwamabali anzima, kunye nokwakha ithemba xa iindaba ezilungileyo zifika, kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba sonke kubasebenzi sithetha ngazo zombini. Ndinebhongo ngezinto esiziphumezileyo kwi-DEIJ ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngakumbi ukuzinikela kwethu ekwahluleleni ibhodi yethu, abasebenzi bethu, kunye namathuba akhoyo kubantu abatsha abazakuba ngabatsha ntliziyo baselwandle.

Ndinombulelo ongazenzisiyo ngomonde wamalungu ekomiti yethu ye-DEIJ ekundifundiseni nasekundincedeni ndiqonde ukuba andiqondi ukuba kunjani ngokwenene ukuba ngumntu webala kwilizwe lethu, kodwa ndiyaqonda ukuba kunokuba lucelomngeni. yonke imihla, kwaye ndiyakwazi ukuqaphela ukuba eli lizwe linocalucalulo olucwangcisiweyo kunye nolwamaziko kunokuba ndandicinga ngaphambili. Kwaye, le nkqubo yobuhlanga idale umonakalo omkhulu kwezentlalo, kwezoqoqosho kunye nokusingqongileyo. Ndingafunda kwabo banokuthetha kumava abo. Ayithethi ngam, okanye into “endinokuyifunda” kulo mbandela nanjengoko ndifumana izixhobo eziluncedo eziye zandinceda endleleni.

Njengoko i-TOF ijonge kwishumi lesithathu leminyaka, simisele isakhelo sesenzo esixhomekeke kuzo zombini kwaye sidibanise ukuzibophelela kwi-DEIJ eya kubonakaliswa ngale ndlela:

• Ukuphumeza izenzo ezilinganayo kuzo zonke iinkalo zomsebenzi wethu, ukusuka kwinkxaso-mali kunye nokusasazwa kwezenzo zolondolozo.
• Ukwakha amandla okulingana kunye nokubandakanywa phakathi koluntu apho sisebenza khona, sigxininise kwiiprojekthi ezingaphandle kwe-United States kunye nemimandla yonxweme enesidingo esikhulu.
• Ukwandisa inkqubo yeMarine Pathways Internship kunye nokusebenzisana nabanye ukuphucula ukufikeleleka koqeqesho lwabo.
• Ukuphehlelela i-incubator yeProjekthi yeNkxaso yeMali ekhulisa iimbono zeenkokeli ezisakhasayo ezinokuthi zibe nokufikelela okuncinci kwizibonelelo kunezinye iiprojekthi esizibambeleyo.
• Uqeqesho lwarhoqo lwangaphakathi lokujongana nokuqinisa ukuqonda kwethu imiba ye-DEIJ, ukwakha amandla okunciphisa indlela yokuziphatha engalunganga, nokukhuthaza ulingano lokwenyani kunye nokubandakanywa.
• Ukugcina iBhodi yabaLawuli, abasebenzi, kunye neBhodi yabaCebisi ebonisa kwaye ikhuthaze iinqobo ezisemgangathweni zethu.
• Ukudibanisa unikezelo-mali olunobulungisa nolunobulungisa kwiinkqubo zethu kwaye sisebenzise oku ngothungelwano lwe-philanthropic.
• Ukukhuthaza idiplomacy yesayensi, kunye nokwabelana ngolwazi lwenkcubeko kunye nezizwe ngezizwe, ukwakhiwa kwamandla, kunye nokudluliselwa kobuchwepheshe baselwandle.

Siza kulinganisa kwaye sabelane ngenkqubela yethu kolu hambo. Ukuxelela ibali lethu siya kusebenzisa umgangatho wethu wokuBeka iliso, uVavanyo, kunye nokuFunda kwi-DEIJ Ezinye iimetriki ziya kubandakanya iyantlukwano ngokwayo (Isini, i-BIPOC, Ukukhubazeka) kunye nokwahluka kwenkcubeko kunye nejografi. Ukongeza, sifuna ukulinganisa ukugcinwa kwabasebenzi abantu abahlukeneyo, kunye nokulinganisa amanqanaba abo oxanduva (ukunyuselwa kwizikhundla zobunkokeli / zokuphatha) nokuba i-TOF iyancedisa na "ukuphakamisa" abasebenzi bethu, kunye nabantu kwintsimi yethu (ngaphakathi okanye ngaphandle) .

Kukho indlela ende yokulungisa iziphene, ukubuyisela umva iziphoso kunye nokuzinzisa ukulingana nobulungisa nobulungisa.

Ukuba unazo naziphi na izimvo malunga nokuba uluntu lwe-TOF lunokuba negalelo njani okanye kufuneka lube negalelo njani kwizinto ezilungileyo kwaye lungaqinisekisi okubi, nceda undibhalele okanye u-Eddie Love njengoSihlalo weKomiti ye-DEIJ.
