#GcinaULwandle lwethu

INkomfa ye-UN SDG14 yoLwandle: inkomfa yokuqala ye-UN yohlobo lwayo elwandle.

I-8 kaJuni luSuku lweeLwandle lweHlabathi, njengoko lutyunjwe yiZizwe eziManyeneyo, kwaye sithanda ukucinga ngoJuni ngaloo veki njengeVeki yoLwandle kwaye ngokwenene, yonke iJuni njengeNyanga yoLwandle lweHlabathi. Ngo-2017, ngokwenene yayiyiveki yolwandle eNew York, eyayithe phithi ngabantu abathanda ulwandle ababezimase umnyhadala wokuqala woLwandlekazi lweHlabathi kwiSiqithi seRhuluneli, okanye bezimase inkomfa ye-UN yokuqala elolu hlobo elwandle.

Ndinethamsanqa ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndiqale iveki kwiNgqungquthela yethu ye-SeaWeb Seafood e-Seattle apho amabhaso eentshatsheli zokutya kwaselwandle abanjwe ngoMvulo ngokuhlwa. Ndifike eNew York kwangethuba ukuze ndibe nenxaxheba kwimisitho yangoLwesibini yenkomfa yolwandle ye-UN enabathunywa abangaphezu kwama-5000, nabameli bamazwe angamalungu ali-193 eZizwe eziManyeneyo. Ikomkhulu leZizwe Ezimanyeneyo lalixinene—iipaseji, amagumbi okuhlanganisana nangaphandle ebaleni. Isiphithiphithi salawula, kwaye kunjalo, yayivuyisa kwaye inemveliso, kulwandle, kwiSiseko soLwandle (TOF), nakum. Ndilibulela kakhulu ithuba lokuthatha inxaxheba kulo msitho ubalulekileyo.

Ikomkhulu le-UN, NYC

Le nkomfa yayigxininise kwi-SDG 14, okanye iNjongo yoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo ehambelana ngqo nolwandle kunye nobudlelwane bomntu kunye nayo.

The Iinjongo zoPhuhliso oluPhuhliso, kubandakanya SDG14 zipragmatic, ziyilwe kakuhle kwaye zisayinwe kuzo ngamazwe ali-194. Ii-SDGs ziphumelele kwiiNjongo zeMillennium Challenge, ebezisekwe ikakhulu kumazwe e-G7 axelela ihlabathi liphela “into esiza kukwenzela yona.” Endaweni yoko ii-SDGs ziinjongo zethu ezifanayo, ezibhalwe ngokudibeneyo luluntu lwezizwe ngezizwe ukugxila kwintsebenziswano yethu kunye nokukhokela iinjongo zethu zolawulo. Ke ngoko, iinjongo ezichazwe kwi-SDG14 zizicwangciso eziliqili zexesha elide nezomelele zokubuyisela umva ukuwohloka kolwandle lwethu olunye lwehlabathi oluthwaxwa lungcoliseko, ukuba neasidi, ukuloba ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nokusilela ngokubanzi kolawulo lolwandle oluphezulu. Ngamanye amazwi, ihambelana ngokugqibeleleyo nomsebenzi we-TOF.

Isiseko soLwandle kunye nokuzinikela ngokuzithandela

#Isenzo soLwandle15877  Ukwakha iZakhono zaMazwe ngaMazwe zokuBeka iliso, ukuqonda, kunye nokuSebenza ngokuFundiswa kweAcidi yoLwandle

#Isenzo soLwandle16542  Ukuphucula ukujongwa kweasidi yolwandle yehlabathi jikelele kunye nophando

#Isenzo soLwandle18823  Ukomeleza umthamo wokubeka iliso kwi-acidification yolwandle, ukomelela kwe-ecosystem, uthungelwano lwe-MPA kwimozulu eguqukayo, ukhuseleko lwe-coral reef kunye nokucwangciswa kwendawo yaselwandle.

Isihlalo se-TOF etafileni

INkomfa ye-UN ye-SDG ye-14 yenzelwe ukuba ibe ngaphezu nje kokuhlanganiswa, okanye ithuba nje lokwabelana ngolwazi kunye nezicwangciso. Kwakujongwe ukunika ithuba lenkqubela phambili yokwenene ekufezekiseni iinjongo ze-SDG ezili-14. Ngaloo ndlela, ukukhokelela kwinkomfa, iintlanga, amaziko amacandelo amaninzi, kunye nee-NGOs zenze izibophelelo zokuzithandela ezingaphezu kwe-1,300, ukubonelela ngemali, ukwakha amandla, kunye nokudlulisa iteknoloji. I-Ocean Foundation ibingomnye wabathathi-nxaxheba abathe izibophelelo zabo zabhengezwa ngokusesikweni ngethuba lenkomfa.

Bekunokwanela ukuzimasa iiseshini kwaye ube neendibano ezichulumancisayo zasepasejini kunye noogxa, amaqabane kunye nabahlobo abavela e-Asiya, e-Afrika, e-Caribbean, eLatin America, eMntla Melika, e-Oceania naseYurophu. Kodwa ndibenethamsanqa lokuba ndibe negalelo ngokuthe ngqo ngeendima zam ku:

• Ukuthetha kwiphaneli yomsitho wecala loqoqosho oluluhlaza "Ubuchule boTshintsho: amaQela kunye ne-Triple Helix" kwisimemo seSan Diego Maritime Alliance kunye neBlueTech Cluster Alliance yamazwe ngamazwe (eCanada, eFransi, e-Ireland, ePortugal, eSpain, e-UK, e-US)
• Ungenelelo lokuthetha olusesikweni “Ingxoxo yesi-3 yeNtsebenziswano – Ukunciphisa nokulungisa iasidi yolwandle"
• Ethetha kwiphaneli yomsitho osecaleni kwiNdlu yaseJamani, “Indawo yeMarike yeZisombululo eziBlue – Ukufunda kumava omnye komnye,” imenywe yiDeutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
• Ethetha kumnyhadala wecala loqoqosho oluluhlaza obanjwe yi-TOF kunye neRockefeller & Co. “I-Blue Economy (Iimbono ezivela kwicandelo labucala)

Sikunye neRockefeller & Company, siye sabamba ulwamkelo eThe Modern ukwabelana ngeSicwangciso sethu saseRockefeller Ocean (ipotfoliyo yethu yotyalo-mali engazange ibonwe ngaphambili), kunye nesithethi sethu esikhethekileyo sendwendwe uJosé María Figueres Olsen, owayesakuba nguMongameli waseCosta Rica, kunye nosihlalo. ye-Ocean Unite. Ngolu rhatya, bendikwiphaneli noNatalia Valtasaari, iNtloko yoTyalomali kunye noBudlelwane beMedia, yeWärtsilä Corporation kunye noRolando F. Morillo, iVP & Equity Hlalutyi, Rockefeller & Co. ukuze sithethe ngendlela utyalo-mali lwecandelo labucala esilwenzayo. inxalenye yoqoqosho olutsha oluzinzileyo kwaye baxhasa i-SDG14.

Ndikunye noMnu. Kosi Latu, uMlawuli Jikelele we-Secretariat ye-Pacific Regional Environment Programme (ifoto ngoncedo lwe-SPREP)

UMphathi weNkqubo yeeProjekthi zeMali ye-TOF uBen Scheelk kunye nam saba neentlanganiso ezisesikweni zamazwe amabini kunye nabathunywa baseNew Zealand nabaseSweden malunga nenkxaso yabo Inyathelo le-TOF laMazwe ngaMazwe le-Acidification. Ndakwazi kwakhona ukudibana ne-Secretariat ye-Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), NOAA, International Atomic Energy Agency's Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre, kunye ne-Western States' International Ocean Acidification Alliance malunga nentsebenziswano yethu kwi-ocean acidification ukwakha umthamo (isayensi okanye umgaqo-nkqubo) — ngakumbi kumazwe asakhasayo. Oku kunombono:

• Ukwakhiwa kwamandla omgaqo-nkqubo, kubandakanywa ukuyilwa kwetemplate yomthetho, kunye noqeqesho loontanga-kwezomthetho malunga nendlela oorhulumente abangasabela ngayo kwi-acidification yolwandle kunye neziphumo zayo kuqoqosho lonxweme.
• Ukuxhotyiswa ngezakhono kwezeNzululwazi, kuqukwa uqeqesho loontanga kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba ngokupheleleyo kwiGlobal Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON)
• Utshintshiselwano lobuchwephesha (olufana nelebhu yethu ye-“GOA-ON kwibhokisi” kunye nezixhobo zokufunda ngaphandle), nto leyo eyenza ukuba oosonzululwazi bakwelo lizwe babeke iliso kwi-acidity yolwandle xa sele befumene uqeqesho ngeendibano zocweyo zethu zokuxhobisa ebezibanjiwe okanye ezicetywayo ngoku. IAfrika, iZiqithi zePasifiki, iCaribbean/Latin America, kunye neArctic.

Ungenelelo olusesikweni lwe-TOF lujongana ne-asidi yolwandle

INkomfa yoLwandle lwe-UN yeentsuku ezintlanu iphele ngoLwesihlanu we-9 kaJuni. Ukongeza kwizibophelelo zokuzithandela ze-1300 +, iNdibano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo yavuma ikhwelo lesenzo "sokwenza ngokukhawuleza nangokukhawuleza" ukuphumeza i-SDG14 kwaye ikhuphe uxwebhu oluxhasayo, "Ulwandle lwethu, ikamva lethu: Bizela isenzo.” Ibiyimvakalelo enkulu ukuba yinxalenye yenyathelo elidityanelweyo eliya phambili emva kwamashumi eminyaka yam kule ndawo, nokuba ndiyazi ukuba sonke kufuneka sibe yinxalenye yokuqinisekisa ukuba amanyathelo alandelayo ayenzeka ngenene.

KwiSiseko se-Ocean, ngokuqinisekileyo yayisisiphelo seminyaka eli-15 yomsebenzi, ethe yabandakanya uninzi lwethu. Ndonwabe kakhulu ukubalapho ndimele uluntu lwethu, nokuba yinxalenye ye #SavingOurOcean.
