Isivumelwano Somhlaba Wonke Sokunqanda Ukungcola Kwepulasitiki: Isivumelwano Esikhulu Kunazo Zonke Sezemvelo Kusukela E-Paris

Lapha e-The Ocean Foundation, sikhona ngaphezulu nginethemba nethemba ngesinqumo sakamuva Samazwe Angamalungu abambe iqhaza Iseshini Yesihlanu ye-United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA5). Kunamalungu kahulumeni angu-193 e-UNEA, futhi sabamba iqhaza njengenhlangano engekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni egunyaziwe. Izwe Lamalungu kuvunyelwene ngokusemthethweni ngegunya elibiza ukuthi kuqale izingxoxo ngesivumelwano somhlaba sokulwa nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki. 

Emasontweni amabili edlule, i-TOF ibisendaweni eNairobi endlunkulu yeNhlangano Yezizwe ihambele izingxoxo zokuxoxisana kanye nokuhlangana nababambe iqhaza emikhakheni eyahlukene okuhlanganisa izimboni, uhulumeni, kanye nama-NGO, ukwazisa le nqubo yesivumelwano ngobuchwepheshe bethu kanye nombono wethu mayelana inkinga yokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki (kuhlanganise, ngezinye izikhathi, kuze kube sebusuku).

I-TOF ibambe iqhaza ezingxoxweni zamazwe ngamazwe mayelana nezindaba eziningi zolwandle nesimo sezulu kule minyaka engama-20 edlule. Siyaqonda ukuthi ukuzuza isivumelwano phakathi kohulumeni, izimboni, kanye nomphakathi ongenzi nzuzo wezemvelo kuthatha iminyaka. Kodwa akuzona zonke izinhlangano nemibono eyamukelekayo ngaphakathi emakamelweni afanele. Ngakho-ke, sithatha isimo sethu esigunyaziwe njengento ebalulekile - njengethuba lokuba izwi labaningi ababelana ngemibono yethu ekulweni nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki.

Sinethemba elikhulu mayelana namaphuzu avelele alandelayo ezingxoxo:

• Isicelo sokuthi ikomidi lokuqala lezingxoxo zamazwe ngamazwe (“INC”) lenzeke ngokushesha, engxenyeni yesibili ka-2022.
• Isivumelwano sokuba nethuluzi elibopha ngokusemthethweni ekungcolisweni kwepulasitiki
• Ukufakwa kwe "microplastics" ekuchazeni ukungcola kwepulasitiki
• Ulimi lwakuqala lukhuluma ngendima yokuklama nokucabangela umjikelezo wempilo ophelele wamapulasitiki
• Ukuqashelwa kwe abacosha udoti' izindima ekuvimbeleni

Nakuba sibungaza lawa maphuzu aphezulu njengesinyathelo esijabulisayo esiya enqubeni yokulondoloza imvelo, sikhuthaza amazwe angamalungu ukuthi aqhubeke nokuxoxa:

• Izincazelo ezibalulekile, okuhlosiwe, kanye nezindlela
• Ukuxhumanisa inselele yomhlaba wonke yokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki ekuguquguqukeni kwesimo sezulu kanye nendima yamafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi ekukhiqizeni ipulasitiki
• Imibono yokuthi ungabhekana kanjani nezinto ezikhuphuka nomfula
• Indlela yokwenza kanye nenqubo yokuqaliswa nokuhambisana

Ezinyangeni ezizayo, i-TOF izoqhubeka nokuxhumana namazwe ngamazwe ukulandela izinqubomgomo ezihlose ukumisa ukugeleza kukadoti wepulasitiki endaweni ezungezile. Sithatha lesi sikhathi ukugubha iqiniso lokuthi ohulumeni sebefinyelele esivumelwaneni: isivumelwano sokuthi ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki kuwusongo empilweni yeplanethi yethu, abantu bakhona, kanye nemvelo yayo - futhi kudinga isinyathelo somhlaba wonke. Sibheke ngabomvu ukuqhubeka nokusebenzisana nohulumeni nababambiqhaza kulolu hlelo lwesivumelwano. Futhi sithemba ukugcina umfutho uphezulu wokulwa nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki.
