Isayensi Yasolwandle Ingokoqobo (Ingxenye Yesibili Yesibili)

Kwami ukuvula ibhulogi ka-2021, ngibeke uhlu lwemisebenzi yokongiwa kolwandle ngo-2021. Lolo hlu lwaqala ngokufaka wonke umuntu ngokulinganayo. Eqinisweni, kuwumgomo wawo wonke umsebenzi wethu ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi bekugxilwe kubhulogi yami yokuqala yonyaka. Okwesibili okufanele kwenziwe kugxile embonweni wokuthi "isayensi yasolwandle ingokoqobo." Lena ibhulogi yesibili yesayensi yasolwandle, lapho sigxila ekwakheni amandla okusebenzisana.

Njengoba ngishilo kuNgxenye 1 yalokhu ibhulogi isayensi yasolwandle iyingxenye yangempela yomsebenzi wethu e-The Ocean Foundation. Ulwandle luhlanganisa ngaphezu kuka-71% weplanethi, futhi akudingeki ukuthi umbe kude kakhulu ukuze uthole ukuthi kungakanani esingakakuhloli, esingakuqondi, futhi esidinga ukukwazi ukuthuthukisa ubudlelwano bomuntu neplanethi yethu. uhlelo lokusekela impilo. Kunezinyathelo ezilula ezingadingi ulwazi olwengeziwe—ukulindela imiphumela yayo yonke imisebenzi yethu ngenye yazo futhi ukumisa ukulimala okwaziwayo kungenye. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kunesidingo esikhulu sokuthatha isinyathelo sokukhawulela ukulimala nokuthuthukisa okuhle, isenzo okufanele sisekelwe amandla amakhulu okuqhuba isayensi emhlabeni wonke.

The I-International Ocean Acidification Initiative yasungulwa ukuze ivumele ososayensi basemazweni asogwini naseziqhingini ukuthi baqaphe ukushintsha kwamakhemikhali olwandle ezweni labo futhi bazise izinqubomgomo zokunciphisa imiphumela emibi yolwandle olune-asidi eyengeziwe. Lolu hlelo luhlanganisa ukuqeqeshwa ekuqashweni kwamakhemikhali olwandle kososayensi abasebasha kanye nemfundo yabakhi bezinqubomgomo mayelana namakhemikhali olwandle nokuthi ukushintsha kwamakhemikhali olwandle kungase kuyithinte kanjani imiphakathi yabo. Lolu hlelo luphinde luzame ukuhlinzeka ngezinto zokusebenza ezidingekayo ukuze kuqoqwe futhi kuhlaziywe amasampula amanzi kulabo abawadingayo. Imishini emisha, kodwa elula yokuqapha ikhemikhali yasolwandle ingashintshwa kalula, ilungiswe, futhi isetshenziswe kungakhathaliseki ukuzinza kukagesi noma ukufinyelela kwe-inthanethi. Nakuba idatha ingakwazi futhi kufanele kwabelwane ngayo emhlabeni wonke nge-Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON), sifuna ukuqinisekisa ukuthi idatha iqoqwa kalula futhi isetshenziswe kalula ezweni lendabuko. Izinqubomgomo ezinhle zokubhekana nezinkinga ze-acidification yasogwini kufanele ziqale ngesayensi enhle.

Ukuqhubekisela phambili umgomo wokwakha amandla esayensi yasolwandle emhlabeni wonke, i-The Ocean Foundation yethule ngokubambisana I-EquiSea: Isikhwama Sesayensi Yasolwandle Yabo Bonke. I-EquiSea iyinkundla eklanywe ngokubambisana ngengxoxo yababambe iqhaza esekelwe ekuvumelaneni nososayensi abangaphezu kuka-200 abavela emhlabeni wonke. I-EquiSea ihlose ukuthuthukisa ukulingana kwisayensi yolwandle ngokusungula isikhwama sokusiza umphakathi 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, kanye nokweseka i ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe besayensi yolwandle obungabizi kakhulu futhi okulula ukubugcina. Kuyingxenye yomsebenzi wokuqala obaluleke kakhulu futhi obaluleke kakhulu: Kubandakanya Wonke Umuntu Ngokulinganayo.

Sijabule kakhulu mayelana namandla e-EquiSeas okukhulisa amandla esayensi yasolwandle lapho enganele khona, sikhulise ukuqonda kwethu ulwandle lomhlaba kanye nempilo engaphakathi, futhi senze isayensi yasolwandle ibe ngokoqobo yonke indawo. 

I-Ajenda ye-UN 2030 icela zonke izizwe ukuthi zibe abaphathi abangcono beplanethi yethu nabantu bakithi futhi ihlonze uchungechunge Lwezinjongo Zokuthuthukiswa Okusimeme (ama-SDG) ukuze lusebenze njengezilinganiso zokufeza leyo ajenda. I-SDG 14 lunikezelwe olwandle lwethu lomhlaba wonke okuncike kulo zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni. Okusanda kwethulwa Ishumi leminyaka le-UN leSayensi Yasolwandle Yokuthuthukiswa Okusimemet (Iminyaka eyishumi) imele ukuzibophezela ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi amazwe atshala imali kusayensi esiyidingayo ukuze senze izinqumo ezinolwazi ukuze sifeze i-SDG 14.  

Kuleli qophelo, umthamo wesayensi yolwandle usatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo kuzo zonke izilwandle, futhi ulinganiselwe ikakhulukazi ezifundeni ezisogwini emazweni angathuthukile kancane. Ukuzuza ukuthuthukiswa komnotho okuluhlaza okusimeme kudinga ukusatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo kwamandla esayensi yolwandle kanye nemizamo edidiyelwe kusukela esikalini sabahlanganisi bamazwe ngamazwe ukuya kohulumeni bamazwe kuya ezikhungweni ngazinye nama-NGO. I-Executive Planning Group yeminyaka Eyishumi idale uhlaka oluqinile noluhlanganisayo ngokusebenzisa inqubo ebanzi yokubandakanya ababambiqhaza.

Ukuze lolu hlaka lusebenze, amaqembu amaningi kufanele ahlanganyele, futhi kuhlanganiswe izimali ezibalulekile. I Ikhomishini ye-Oceanographic engaphansi kukahulumeni kanye neNhlangano Yeminyaka Eyishumi idlala indima ebalulekile ekubandakanyeni ohulumeni nezinhlaka ezinkulu, nasekubekeni izinjongo zesayensi nezinhlelo zeShumi Leminyaka.

Kukhona igebe, nokho, ekuhlinzekeni ukwesekwa ngokuqondile emaqenjini aphansi ezindaweni ezingenazo izinsiza ezincane - izifunda lapho ukwanda kwamandla esayensi yolwandle kubalulekile ukuze kuzuzwe ukuthuthukiswa komnotho okusimeme. Izikhungo eziningi ezifundeni ezinjalo azinayo ingqalasizinda yokuzibandakanya ngqo ezinqubweni ezisemthethweni ze-UN futhi ngaleyo ndlela zingase zingakwazi ukufinyelela ekusekelweni okuhanjiswa ngokuqondile nge-IOC noma ezinye izinhlaka. Ukusekela okuguquguqukayo, okusheshayo kuyodingeka ukuze lezi zinhlobo zezikhungo zisekele iShumi Leminyaka, futhi Ishumi Leminyaka ngeke liphumelele uma lawo maqembu engabambisani. Njengengxenye yomsebenzi wethu oya phambili, i-Ocean Foundation izobe isekela imizamo yokugcwalisa lezo zikhala zoxhaso, ukuthuthukisa ukutshalwa kwezimali okuhlosiwe, kanye nokusekela isayensi ebandakanyayo nesebenzisanayo ekwakhiweni nasekusetshenzisweni kwephrojekthi.
