I-TOF Iphakamisa Ulwazi phakathi kweeNkokeli zikaRhulumente malunga neNgcipheko yeHlabathi ebangelwa yi-Ocean Acidation

WASHINGTON, DC, January 8, 2020 – Ukuphawula uSuku lweMisebenzi yeHlabathi ye-Acidification yesibini ngonyaka, Isiseko soLwandle (TOF), ngentsebenziswano noNozakuzaku waseNew Zealand, iye yabamba indibano yabameli bakarhulumente ukukhuthaza isenzo kunye nokuvuyisana namazwe kunye noluntu oluthe lwazibophelela ukujongana nomngeni wehlabathi wokukhuliswa kweasidi yolwandle. Usuku lwesenzo lwenzeka ngomhla we-8 kaJanuwari ukumela i-8.1, inqanaba langoku le-pH yolwandle lwethu.

Ngexesha lomsitho, i-TOF ikhuphe i Incwadi yesiKhokelo ye-Ocean Acidification yabaSebenzi bemigaqo-nkqubo, ingxelo ebanzi malunga nomthetho wokwenziwa kweasidi yolwandle kumanqanaba ezizwe ngezizwe, engingqi, esizwe, nangaphantsi kwelizwe. Ngokutsho kweGosa leNkqubo ye-TOF, u-Alexis Valauri-Orton, "injongo kukubonelela ngeetemplates zomgaqo-nkqubo kunye nemizekelo eya kwenza ukuba abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo baguqule iingcamango zibe izenzo." Kunjengokuba uValauri-Orton esitsho, “ukususela kumbindi ukuya kutsho kubunzulu besi sijikelezi-langa sethu, imichiza yolwandle itshintsha ngokukhawuleza kunanini na kwimbali yomhlaba. Kwaye ngelixa olu tshintsho kwimichiza - eyaziwa ngokuba yi-ocean acidification (OA) - isenokungabonakali, iimpembelelo zayo azikho." Ngapha koko, ulwandle ngoku luneasidi engaphezulu ngama-30% namhlanje kunokuba lwalunjalo kwiminyaka engama-200 eyadlulayo, kwaye luba neasidi ngokukhawuleza kunanini na kwimbali yoMhlaba.¹

Ekuqapheleni ukuba le ngxaki yehlabathi idinga isenzo sehlabathi, i-TOF yasungula usuku lokuqala lwe-OA lwe-International OA Day of Action kwiNdlu yaseSweden ngoJanuwari ka-2019. Lo mcimbi wawubanjelwe ngokubambisana kunye nenkxaso evela kuRhulumente waseSweden kunye neFiji, ubunkokeli babo obuhlangeneyo. kulondolozo lolwandle kuquke ukubamba ngokubambisana kweNjongo yoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo (SDG) iNkomfa ye-14 yoLwandle kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo ngowama-2017. . Umamkeli walo nyaka, i-New Zealand, isebenza njengenkokeli yeQela eliSebenzayo leBlue Charter le-Blue Charter kuLwandle lweAcidation, kwaye lityale imali ekwakheni ukomelela kwi-OA kwiZiqithi zePasifiki. Isithethi esibalaseleyo sendwendwe, uJatziri Pando, yiNtloko yaBasebenzi beKomiti yezeNdalo, iMithombo yeNdalo, kunye noTshintsho lweMozulu kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu zaseMexico. IKomiti isebenzisana ne-TOF ukuyila umgaqo-nkqubo wesizwe wokufunda nokusabela kwi-OA eMexico.

I-OA ibeka isoyikiso ngoku kurhwebo lwe-mariculture yehlabathi (ukulinywa kweentlanzi, i-shellfish kunye nezinye izinto eziphila elwandle ukuze zityiwe), kwaye, kwixesha elide, isiseko sekhonkco lokutya kwaselwandle ngenxa yeziphumo zalo eziyingozi kwiqokobhe- ukwenza izinto eziphilayo. Amanyathelo okucwangcisa okusebenzisana ayafuneka adibanisa isayensi kunye nophuhliso lomgaqo-nkqubo ukujongana nalo mngeni wehlabathi, kwaye kukho imfuneko emandla yeeprojekthi ezikhusela impilo-ntle, ukukhusela impahla, ukunciphisa umonakalo kwiziseko ezingundoqo, ukulondoloza amabala okuvelisa ukutya kwaselwandle, kwaye kuxhamle inkqubo yendalo kunye noqoqosho. . Ukongeza, ukwakhiwa kwamandla amaziko kunye nenzululwazi phakathi koluntu kugxininise ekunciphiseni umngcipheko yinto ebaluleke kakhulu kunye necandelo eliphambili lesicwangciso sokumelana nemozulu yoluntu.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, i-TOF iqeqeshe ngaphezu kwamakhulu amabini oosonzululwazi kunye nabaqulunqi bomgaqo-nkqubo kwi-OA yokubeka iliso kunye nobuchule bokunciphisa, ibizele iindibano zocweyo zengingqi kwaye ixhase ngemali uqeqesho lwasemhlabeni jikelele, kwiindawo ezifana neMauritius, Mozambique, Fiji, Hawaii, EColombia, ePanama naseMexico. Ukongeza, i-TOF ibonelele ngamaziko alishumi elinesixhenxe kunye nemibutho ngezixhobo zokujonga iasidi yolwandle kwihlabathi liphela.
