Uluntu lwaseSiqithini luPhuhlisa ukuNyamezeka kweMozulu kunye noKhuseleko lwaseLwandle ePalau; kunye noMsebenzi omninzi oseleyo

Izinto eziphambili eziThathayo kwiNkomfa yethu yoLwandle luka-2022

Ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, iinkokeli zehlabathi bezihlanganisene ePalau unyaka wesixhenxe Inkomfa yethu yoLwandle (OOC). Ekuqaleni yasekwa ngo-2014 phantsi kobunkokheli bukaNobhala welizwe wase-US uJohn Kerry, i-OOC yokuqala yenzeka eWashington, DC, kwaye yakhokelela ekubeni. izibophelelo ezixabisa i-800 yezigidi zeerandi kwiindawo ezifana noshishino lokuloba oluzinzileyo, ungcoliseko lolwandle, kunye neasidi yolwandle. Ukusukela ngoko, minyaka le, abantu abahlala eziqithini kuye kwafuneka bajijisane phakathi kobukhulu bezibophelelo zehlabathi jikelele kunye nenyaniso ebuhlungu yokuba yeyiphi na imithombo yobutyebi ekwenza ukuba iziqithi zabo zixhase umsebenzi othe ngqo, owenziwa emhlabeni. 

Ngelixa inkqubela yokwenyani yenziwe, i-Ocean Foundation (TOF) kunye noluntu lwethu kwi Uthungelwano lweClimate Strong Islands (CSIN) babenethemba lokuba iinkokeli ziya kusebenzisa lo mzuzu uyimbali ePalau ukubamba ithuba lokunika ingxelo malunga: (1) zingaphi izibophelelo zamva nje eziye zahlangatyezwana nazo, (2) indlela oorhulumente abacebisa ngayo ukwenza ngokunentsingiselo kwabanye abasaqhubekayo. , kunye (3) zeziphi izibophelelo ezitsha ezongezelelekileyo eziya kwenziwa ukuze kuhlangatyezwane nemingeni ekhoyo yolwandle kunye nemozulu ephambi kwethu. Akukho ndawo ingcono kunePalau yokukhunjuzwa ngezifundo ezinokuthi iziqithi zinike ukujongana nezisombululo ezinokubakho kwingxaki yethu yemozulu. 

IPalau yindawo yomlingo

Ibizwa ngokuba yi-TOF njengeLizwe loLwandlekazi olukhulu (kunokuba liLizwe eliPhuhlisayo iSiqithi esiNcinane), iPalau lichwebakazi leziqithi ezingaphezu kwama-500, inxalenye yommandla weMicronesia kwintshona yoLwandlekazi lwePasifiki. Iintaba ezichukumisayo zinika ithuba lolwandle olumangalisayo olunesanti kunxweme olusempuma. Kumantla ayo, i<em>basalt monoliths yamandulo eyaziwa ngokuba yiBadrulchau ilele kumasimi anengca, ejikelezwe yimithi yesundu efana nemimangaliso yamandulo yehlabathi ebulisa iindwendwe ezoyikekayo ezizibukeleyo. Nangona iinkcubeko ezahlukeneyo, amanani abantu, uqoqosho, iimbali, kunye nokumelwa kwinqanaba lomdibaniso, uluntu lweziqithi lwabelana ngemingeni emininzi efanayo xa bejongene nokutshintsha kwemozulu. Kwaye le mingeni ibonelela ngamathuba abalulekileyo okufunda, ukuxhasa, kunye nokwenza. Uthungelwano olomeleleyo lubalulekile ekwakheni ukomelela koluntu kunye nokuhlala ngaphambi kotshintsho oluphazamisayo- nokuba sisibetho sehlabathi, intlekele yendalo, okanye ukothuka okukhulu kwezoqoqosho. 

Ngokusebenza kunye, imbumbano zinokukhawulezisa isantya sotshintshiselwano ngolwazi, zomeleze inkxaso ekhoyo kwiinkokeli zabahlali, zandise ngokufanelekileyo iimfuno eziphambili, kunye nezibonelelo eziyimfuneko kunye nenkxaso-mali - konke okubalulekileyo ekomelezeni kweziqithi. Njengoko amaqabane ethu ethanda ukuthi,

"ngelixa iziqithi ziphambili kwintlekele yemozulu, zikwaphambili kwisisombululo. "

I-TOF kunye ne-CSIN ngoku basebenzisana nePalau ukuqhubela phambili ukomelela kwemozulu kunye nokukhuselwa kolwandle.

Indlela Okusizuzisa Ngayo Uluntu lwaseSiqiwini Sonke

Kulo nyaka, i-OOC ibize amalungu avela kurhulumente, uluntu, kunye namashishini ukuba agxile kwimiba emithandathu: utshintsho lwemozulu, ukuloba okuzinzileyo, uqoqosho oluzinzileyo oluluhlaza, imimandla ekhuselweyo yaselwandle, ukhuseleko lwaselwandle, kunye nongcoliseko lwaselwandle. Siyawuncoma umsebenzi ongakholelekiyo owenziwe yiRiphabhlikhi yasePalau kunye namahlakani ayo ekubekeni le nkomfa yobuqu, sisebenza ngoguquko lwamandla obhubhane wehlabathi sonke ebesijijisana nawo kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo. Yiyo loo nto i-TOF inombulelo ngokuba liqabane elisemthethweni lasePalau ngo:

Ngelixa i-TOF kunye ne-CSIN bezinebhongo ngokusinika oko sinako, siyaqonda ukuba kuninzi ekufuneka kwenziwe ukunceda amahlakani ethu asesiqithini ngokwaneleyo. 

Ngokuququzelelwa kwe-CSIN kunye Uthungelwano lweZiqithi zaseKhaya2030, sinethemba lokuqinisa inkxaso yethu ukuba isebenze. Umnqophiso we-CSIN kukwakha imbumba esebenzayo yamaqumrhu asesiqithini asebenza kuwo onke amacandelo kunye neejografi kwilizwekazi lase-US kunye nelizwe kunye nemimandla ebekwe kwiCaribbean kunye nePasifiki - edibanisa iintshatsheli zesiqithi, imibutho esemhlabeni, kunye nabachaphazelekayo basekhaya. omnye komnye ukukhawulezisa inkqubela. I-Local2030 igxininise kumazwe ngamazwe ekuxhaseni isenzo esiqhutywa ekuhlaleni, esinolwazi lwenkcubeko ekuzinzeni kwemozulu njengendlela ebalulekileyo yentsebenziswano yengingqi, yesizwe, neyehlabathi. Ngokudibeneyo, i-CSIN kunye ne-Local2030 Islands Network iya kusebenza ekukhuthazeni imigaqo-nkqubo esebenzayo yesiqithi kwi-Federal and international level kunye nokunceda ukukhokela ukuphunyezwa kweprojekthi yendawo ngokuxhasa amaqabane abalulekileyo afana neRiphabhlikhi yasePalau. 

Inkqubo ye-TOF ye-International Ocean Acidification Initiative (IOAI) imelwe kakuhle ngamahlakani ayo. Ababini babamkeli bekhithi ye-TOF bebekho, kubandakanywa u-Alexandra Guzman, umamkeli wezixhobo ePanama, okhethwe kwabafake izicelo abangaphezu kwe-140 njengomthunywa wolutsha. Omnye owayekho nguEvelyn Ikelau Otto, owafumana izixhobo zasePalau. I-TOF incede ukucwangcisa omnye weminyhadala esemthethweni ye-14 yeNkomfa yethu yoLwandlekazi egxile kuphando lwe-asidi yolwandle kunye nophuhliso lwezakhono kwiZiqithi zePasifiki. Enye yeenzame ezibonakaliswe kulo mcimbi wecala yayingumsebenzi oqhubekayo we-TOF kwiZiqithi zePasifiki ukwakha umthamo ozinzileyo wokujongana ne-acidification yolwandle, kubandakanywa nokudalwa kweZiko le-OA entsha ye-Pacific Islands eSuva, eFiji.

Iziphumo eziphambili ze-OOC 2022

Ekupheleni kwe-OOC yalo nyaka nge-14 ka-Epreli, izibophelelo ezingaphezu kwama-400 zenziwe, ezixabisa i-16.35 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kutyalo-mali kuzo zonke iinkalo ezintandathu eziphambili ze-OOC.

The Line Bottom

Ingxaki yemozulu sele itshabalalisa uluntu lweziqithi kwihlabathi liphela. Iziganeko zemozulu ezibi kakhulu, ukunyuka kweelwandle, ukuphazamiseka kwezoqoqosho, kunye nezoyikiso zempilo ezidalwe okanye eziye zenziwa mandundu ngenxa yokutshintsha kwemozulu eqhutywa ngabantu zichaphazela ngokungafanelekanga olu luntu. Kwaye iinkqubo ezininzi kunye neenkqubo zihlala zisilela ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zabo. Ngenkqubo yendalo, ezentlalo, nezoqoqosho apho abemi beziqithi baxhomekeke kuzo phantsi koxinezeleko olwandayo, izimo zengqondo ezixhaphakileyo, neendlela ekumele zitshintshe iziqithi. 

Uluntu lweSiqithi, oluhlala lubekwe yedwa yijografi, lunelizwi elincinci kwimigaqo yomgaqo-nkqubo welizwe lase-US kwaye libonise umnqweno onamandla wokuthatha inxaxheba ngokuthe ngqo kwinkxaso-mali kunye nemisebenzi yokwenza imigaqo-nkqubo echaphazela ikamva lethu elihlangeneyo. I-OOC yalo nyaka ibingumzuzu obalulekileyo wokuhlanganisa abathathi-zigqibo ukuze baqonde ngcono iinyani zasekhaya kuluntu lwaseziqiwini. Kwi-TOF, sikholelwa ukuba ukufuna uluntu olulinganayo, oluzinzileyo, noluzinzileyo, imibutho yolondolozo kunye neziseko zoluntu kufuneka zenze konke okusemandleni ethu ukuphulaphula, ukuxhasa, kunye nokufunda kwizifundo ezininzi zoluntu lwethu lweziqithi kufuneka zinike ihlabathi.
