I-Climate Strong Islands Declaration

Namhlanje, i-Ocean Foundation inebhongo ngokuma kunye noluntu lweziqithi kwindlela yabo yokuzimela, ukomelela kwemozulu, kunye nezisombululo zasekhaya. Ingxaki yemozulu sele itshabalalisa uluntu lweziqithi kulo lonke elase-US nakwihlabathi liphela. Iziganeko zemozulu ezimandundu, ukunyuka kweelwandle, ukuphazamiseka kwezoqoqosho, kunye nezoyikiso zempilo ezidalwe okanye eziye zenziwa mandundu ngenxa yokutshintsha kwemozulu eqhutywa ngabantu ziluchaphazela ngokungafanelekanga olu luntu, njengoko imigaqo-nkqubo neenkqubo ezingenzelwanga iziqithi zisilela rhoqo ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zabo. Yiyo loo nto sinebhongo lokutyikitya isiBhengezo seClimate Strong Islands kunye namaqabane ethu asuka kuluntu lweziqithi zaseCaribbean, kuMntla weAtlantiki, nakwiPasifiki.

Ingxaki yemozulu sele itshabalalisa uluntu lweziqithi kulo lonke elase-United States nakwihlabathi liphela.

Ngenkqubo yendalo, ezentlalo, nezoqoqosho apho abemi beziqithi baxhomekeke kuzo phantsi koxinezeleko olwandayo, izimo zengqondo ezixhaphakileyo neendlela ezimele zitshintshe iziqithi. Sifuna inyathelo kwinqanaba lengingqi, ilizwe, ilizwe, kunye namazwe ngamazwe ukunceda uluntu lweziqithi luphendule ngokufanelekileyo kwimeko yonxunguphalo yemozulu ejongene nempucuko yethu.

Uluntu lweSiqithi e-United States nakwihlabathi liphela ngokoqobo luphambili kwingxaki yemozulu, kwaye sele luhlangabezana noku:

• iziganeko zemozulu embi kakhulu kunye nokunyuka kweelwandle ezibeka esichengeni okanye ezitshabalalisa iziseko ezingundoqo ezibalulekileyo, kubandakanywa iigridi zombane, iinkqubo zamanzi, izibonelelo zonxibelelwano ngocingo, iindlela kunye neebhulorho, kunye nezixhobo zamazibuko;
