Izinto Ezibalulekile Ezithathwe Engqungqutheleni Yethu Yasolwandle ka-2022

Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, abaholi abavela emhlabeni wonke bahlangane ePalau umhlangano waminyaka yonke wesikhombisa Ingqungquthela yethu yoLwandle (OOC). Yasungulwa ngo-2014 ngaphansi kobuholi bukaNobhala Wezwe WaseMelika ngaleso sikhathi uJohn Kerry, i-OOC yokuqala yenzeka eWashington, DC, nokwaholela ekutheni izibophezelo zibiza u-$800 wezigidi ezindaweni ezifana nezindawo zokudoba ezisimeme, ukungcoliswa kolwandle, kanye ne-acidification yolwandle. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, minyaka yonke, imiphakathi yaseziqhingini kuye kwadingeka ibambene phakathi kobukhulu bezibophezelo zomhlaba wonke kanye neqiniso elinzima lokuthi yiziphi izinsizakusebenza ezifika eziqhingini zabo ukusekela umsebenzi oqondile, owenziwa phansi. 

Ngenkathi inqubekelaphambili yangempela yenziwe, i-Ocean Foundation (TOF) kanye nomphakathi wethu I-Climate Strong Islands Network (CSIN) bebenethemba lokuthi abaholi bazosebenzisa lesi sikhathi esiyingqopha-mlando e-Palau ukuze babambe ithuba lokubika ngalokhu: (1) ukuthi zingaki izibopho zakamuva okuhlangatshezwane nazo, (2) ukuthi ohulumeni bahlongoza kanjani ukwenza okuthile kwabanye okusaqhubekayo. , kanye (3) nokuthi iziphi izibopho ezintsha ezengeziwe ezizokwenziwa ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezinselele zamanje zolwandle nesimo sezulu eziphambi kwethu. Ayikho indawo engcono kunePalau yokukhunjuzwa ngezifundo iziqhingi okufanele zisinikeze ekubhekaneni nezixazululo ezingaba khona enkingeni yethu yesimo sezulu. 

I-Palau Indawo Yomlingo

I-TOF ebizwa ngokuthi i-Large Ocean State (kunokuba ibe Isifunda Esithuthukayo Sesiqhingi Esincane), iPalau iyiqoqo leziqhingi ezingaphezu kuka-500, ingxenye yesifunda saseMicronesia entshonalanga yePacific Ocean. Izintaba eziphefumulayo zivumela amabhishi anesihlabathi amangalisayo ogwini lwayo olusempumalanga. Enyakatho yalo, ama-basalt monoliths asendulo aziwa ngokuthi i-Badrulchau alele emasimini anotshani, azungezwe izihlahla zesundu njengezimangaliso zomhlaba zasendulo ezibingelela izivakashi ezishaqekile eziwabukayo. Nakuba ihlukahlukene kuwo wonke amasiko, izibalo zabantu, ezomnotho, imilando, nokumelela ezingeni likahulumeni, imiphakathi yeziqhingi yabelana ngezinselele eziningi ezifanayo lapho ibhekene nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Futhi lezi zinselele zinikeza amathuba abalulekile okufunda, ukumela, nokwenza. Amanethiwekhi aqinile abalulekile ekwakheni ukuqina komphakathi nokuhlala ngaphambi koshintsho oluphazamisayo - kungaba ubhubhane lomhlaba wonke, inhlekelele yemvelo, noma ukushaqeka okukhulu komnotho. 

Ngokusebenzisana, imifelandawonye ingasheshisa ijubane lokushintshisana ngolwazi, iqinise ukwesekwa okutholakalayo kubaholi bomphakathi, ikhulise ngempumelelo izidingo ezibalulekile, futhi iqondise izinsiza ezidingekayo kanye noxhaso lwezimali - konke okubalulekile ekuqineni kweziqhingi. Njengoba abalingani bethu bethanda ukusho,

"kuyilapho iziqhingi ziphambili enkingeni yesimo sezulu, nazo ziseqhulwini lesixazululo. "

I-TOF kanye ne-CSIN njengamanje basebenzisana ne-Palau ukuthuthukisa ukumelana nesimo sezulu nokuvikela ulwandle.

Indlela Imiphakathi Yasesiqhingini Esizuza Ngayo Esizuzisa Ngayo Sonke

Kulo nyaka, i-OOC ibize amalungu avela kuhulumeni, izinhlangano zomphakathi, kanye nezimboni ukuze agxile emikhakheni eyisithupha enezihloko: ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, ukudoba okusimeme, umnotho osimeme oluhlaza, izindawo ezivikelekile zasolwandle, ezokuphepha olwandle kanye nokungcoliswa kolwandle. Sincoma umsebenzi oncomekayo owenziwe yiRiphabhulikhi yasePalau kanye nozakwethu ekusunguleni le ngqungquthela mathupha, sisebenza ngokushintshashintsha njalo kobhubhane lomhlaba wonke esike sabambana nalo eminyakeni emibili edlule. Kungakho i-TOF ibonga ukuba nguzakwethu osemthethweni we-Palau ngokuthi:

  1. Ukuhlinzeka ngosekelo lwezezimali ku:
    • Amaqembu ukusiza ukusetha nokuxhumanisa i-OOC;
    • USihlalo we-Global Island Partnership (GLISPA), omele i-Marshall Islands, ukuba azihambele mathupha njengezwi elibalulekile; futhi 
    • Ukuvala ukwamukela kwe-NGO, ukwakha ubudlelwano phakathi kwabahlanganyeli benkomfa.
  2. Ukugqugquzela ukuthuthukiswa nokwethulwa kwesibali sekhabhoni sokuqala ngqa sasePalau:
    • Okunye ukuvezwa Kwesifungo Se-Palau, isibali sihlolwe i-Beta okokuqala ngqa e-OOC. 
    • Ukwesekwa kwabasebenzi bosizo lokwakhiwa nokukhiqizwa kwevidiyo enolwazi ukuze kuqwashiswe umphakathi mayelana nokutholakala kwesibali.

Nakuba i-TOF ne-CSIN beziqhenye ngokusinikeza esingakwazi, siyaqaphela ukuthi kuningi okusamele kwenziwe ukuze sisize ngokwanele ozakwethu baseziqhingini. 

Ngokuqhutshwa kwe-CSIN kanye I-Local2030 Islands Network, sithemba ukuqinisa ukwesekwa kwethu kusebenze. Umgomo we-CSIN uwukwakha umfelandawonye osebenzayo wezinhlangano eziqhingini ezisebenza kuyo yonke imikhakha nezindawo ezwekazini lase-US kanye nezifunda nezindawo zezwe ezitholakala eCaribbean nasePacific - okuxhumanisa ompetha beziqhingi, izinhlangano ezikhona, kanye nababambiqhaza basendaweni. komunye nomunye ukuze kusheshiswe inqubekelaphambili. I-Local2030 igxile emhlabeni jikelele ekusekeleni isenzo esiqhutshwa endaweni, esinolwazi ngamasiko mayelana nokusimama kwesimo sezulu njengendlela ebalulekile yokubambisana kwesifunda, kuzwelonke, kanye namazwe ngamazwe. Ndawonye, ​​i-CSIN kanye ne-Local2030 Islands Network izosebenza ukuze imelele izinqubomgomo ezisebenzayo zokuqaphela iziqhingi ezingeni likahulumeni nelamazwe ngamazwe futhi isize ukuqondisa ukuqaliswa kwephrojekthi yendawo ngokusekela ozakwethu ababalulekile njenge-The Republic of Palau. 

Uhlelo lwe-TOF lwe-International Ocean Acidification Initiative (IOAI) lwamelwe kahle ozakwethu. Ababili babamukeli bekhithi ye-TOF babekhona, okuhlanganisa no-Alexandra Guzman, umamukeli wekhithi ePanama, okhethwe kwabafake izicelo abangaphezu kuka-140 njengesithunywa sentsha. Omunye owayekhona kwakungu-Evelyn Ikelau Otto, umamukeli wekhithi evela ePalau. I-TOF yasiza ukuhlela omunye wemicimbi engu-14 esemthethweni eseceleni Yenkomfa Ye-Our Ocean egxile ocwaningweni lwe-acidification yolwandle nokuthuthukiswa kwamandla eziQhingini zase-Pacific. Omunye wemizamo eqokonyiswe kulo mcimbi oseceleni kwakuwumsebenzi oqhubekayo we-TOF eziQhingini zasePacific wokwakha umthamo osimeme wokubhekana nokugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle, okuhlanganisa nokudala Isikhungo esisha se-Pacific Islands OA eSuva, eFiji.

Imiphumela Ebalulekile ye-OOC 2022

Ekupheleni kwe-OOC yalo nyaka ngo-Ephreli 14, izibopho ezingaphezu kuka-400 zenziwe, ezibiza amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-16.35 ekutshalweni kwezimali ezindaweni eziyisithupha ezibalulekile ze-OOC. 

IZIBOPHO EZISITHUPHA ZENZIWE NGU-TOF AT OOC 2022

I-CSIN izosebenzisana ne-Local2030 ukuqhubekisela phambili imigomo ehlanganyelwe, ehlanganisa ukwanda kwezinsiza zombuso kanye nokunaka izindaba zesiqhingi futhi icela izinguquko ezithile emikhakheni: amandla ahlanzekile, ukuhlelwa kwendawo yamanzi, ukuphepha kokudla, ukulungela izinhlekelele, umnotho wasolwandle, ukuphathwa kwemfucuza, nezokuthutha. .

2. I-$350K yokuqapha kwe-Ocean Acidification for the Gulf of Guinea (BIOTTA) Program

I-Ocean Foundation's International Ocean Acidification Initiative (IOAI) yenza u-$350,000 eminyakeni emi-3 ezayo (2022-25) ukuze isekele uhlelo lokwakha i-Building CapacIty in Ocean AcdificaTion MoniToring in the Gulf of GuineA (BIOTTA). Njengoba u-$150,000 usuzibophezele kakade, i-TOF izosekela ukuqeqeshwa okungokoqobo nokwangaphakathi komuntu futhi ikhiphe i-GOA-ON emihlanu Ebhokisini. amakhithi okuqapha. Uhlelo lwe-BIOTTA luholwa yiNyuvesi yaseGhana ngokubambisana ne-TOF kanye ne-Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO). Lokhu kuzibophezela kwakha emsebenzini wangaphambilini oholwa yi-The Ocean Foundation (exhaswe uMnyango Wezwe wase-US kanye noHulumeni wase-Sweden) e-Afrika, e-Pacific Islands, e-Latin America, nase-Caribbean. Lokhu kuzibophezela okwengeziwe kuletha isamba esenziwe yi-IOAI ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-6.2 zamarandi kusukela kwethulwa uchungechunge lwe-OOC ngo-2014.

3. $800K yokuqapha kwe-Ocean Acidification kanye Nokuqina Kwesikhathi Eside e-Pacific Islands.

I-IOAI (ihlangene ne-Pacific Community [SPC], i-University of the South Pacific, kanye ne-NOAA) izibophezela ekusunguleni i-Pacific Islands Ocean Acidification Center (PIOAC) ukuze kwakhiwe ukusimama kwesikhathi eside ekuguqulweni kwe-asidi olwandle. Ngokutshalwa kwezimali kohlelo kuka-$800,000 phakathi neminyaka emithathu, i-TOF izohlinzeka ngokuqeqeshwa kobuchwepheshe okukude nokwangaphakathi komuntu, ucwaningo, kanye noxhaso lwezohambo; sebenzisa i-GOA-ON eyisikhombisa ku-Box monitoring kits; futhi - kanye ne-PIOAC - yengamele uhlu lwezingxenye ezisele (okubalulekile ekuphileni isikhathi eside kwezinsiza), izinga lesifunda lamanzi olwandle, kanye nensizakalo yokuqeqesha yobuchwepheshe. Lawa makhithi aklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zendawo, lapho ukufinyelela kumathuluzi, izinto zokwakha, noma izingxenye kungase kube nzima ukuzithola. 

4. U-$1.5M Wokubhekana Nokungalingani Okuhlelekile Kumthamo Wesayensi Ye-Ocean 

I-Ocean Foundation izibophezela ekuqoqeni amaRandi ayizigidi eziyi-1.5 ukubhekana nokungalingani kwesistimu kumthamo wesayensi yolwandle ngokusebenzisa I-EquiSea: Isikhwama Sesayensi Yasolwandle Yabo Bonke, okuyinkundla yokuhlanganyela yomxhasi eklanywe ngokubambisana ngengxoxo yababambiqhaza esekelwe ekuvumelaneni nososayensi abangaphezu kuka-200 abavela emhlabeni wonke. I-EquiSea ihlose ukuthuthukisa ukulingana kusayensi yolwandle ngokusungula isikhwama se-philanthropic ukuze sinikeze ukwesekwa okuqondile kwezezimali kumaphrojekthi, ukuxhumanisa imisebenzi yokuthuthukisa amandla, ukugqugquzela ukubambisana kanye nokuxhasa ngezimali isayensi yolwandle phakathi kwezemfundo, uhulumeni, ama-NGO, nabalingisi bemboni ezimele.

5. I-$8M ye-Blue Resilience 

I-Ocean Foundation's Blue Resilience Initiative (BRI) izibophezela ukutshala imali eyizigidi ezingu-8 zamaRandi eminyakeni emithathu (2022-25) ukuze kusekelwe ukubuyiselwa kwendawo ehlala ngasogwini, ukongiwa, kanye nezolimo zamahlathi e-Wider Caribbean Region njengezixazululo ezisekelwe emvelweni zokuphazamiseka komuntu kwesimo sezulu. I-BRI izotshala imali kumaphrojekthi asebenzayo nangaphansi kwentuthuko e-Puerto Rico (US), Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, nase-St. Kitts & Nevis. Lezi zinhlelo zizobandakanya ukubuyiselwa kanye nokongiwa kotshani basolwandle, imihlume, nezixhobo zamakhorali, kanye nokusetshenziswa kokhula lwasolwandle oluyinkathazo i-sargassum ekukhiqizeni umquba we-organic for agroforestry regenerative.

Iphuzu Eliyinhloko

Inkinga yesimo sezulu isivele ibhubhisa imiphakathi yeziqhingi emhlabeni jikelele. Izehlakalo zesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu, ukukhuphuka kwezilwandle, ukuphazamiseka kwezomnotho, nezinsongo zezempilo ezidalwe noma ezibhebhethekiswe ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu okuqhutshwa abantu kuthinta ngokungafanele le miphakathi. Futhi izinqubomgomo nezinhlelo eziningi ngokuvamile ziyehluleka ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zazo. Ngezimiso zemvelo, ezenhlalo, nezomnotho lapho izakhamuzi zaseziqhingini zithembele kuzo ngaphansi kokucindezeleka okwandayo, izimo zengqondo ezikhona, nezindlela okufanele iziqhingi ezingasebenzi kahle zishintshe. 

Imiphakathi yaseziqhingini, evamise ukuhlukaniswa ngokwezwe, ibe nezwi elincane eziqondisweni zenqubomgomo kazwelonke yase-US futhi izwakalise isifiso esinamandla sokubamba iqhaza ngokuqondile ekuxhaseni ngemali nasekwenzeni izinqubomgomo ezithinta ikusasa lethu elihlangene. I-OOC yalo nyaka ibe yisikhathi esibalulekile sokuhlanganisa abenzi bezinqumo ukuze baqonde kangcono amaqiniso endawo emiphakathi yaseziqhingini. Kwa-TOF, sikholelwa ukuthi ukuze sifune umphakathi olinganayo, osimeme, noqinile, izinhlangano zokongiwa kwemvelo kanye nezisekelo zomphakathi kufanele zenze konke okusemandleni ethu ukuze silalele, sisekele, futhi sifunde ezifundweni eziningi imiphakathi yethu yaseziqhingini engazinikeza umhlaba.
