#SaveOurOcean

Ingqungquthela ye-UN SDG14 Ocean: ingqungquthela yokuqala ye-UN yohlobo lwayo olwandle.

Umhla ziyisi-8 kuNhlangulana wuSuku Lomhlaba Lwezilwandle, njengoba luqokwe yiNhlangano Yezizwe, futhi sithanda ukucabanga ngoNhlangulana ngalelo sonto njengeVeki Lolwandle futhi empeleni uJuni wonke njengeNyanga Yasolwandle Yomhlaba. Ngo-2017, bekuyisonto lolwandle e-New York, obekuphithizela abathandi bolwandle abebehambele uMkhosi Wolwandle Womhlaba wokuqala e-Governor's Island, noma ukuthamela ingqungquthela ye-UN yokuqala ngqa yohlobo lwayo olwandle.

Ngibe nenhlanhla yokuthi ngiqale isonto e-SeaWeb Seafood Summit yethu e-Seattle lapho bekubanjwe khona imiklomelo yaminyaka yonke yabashampeni bokudla kwasolwandle ngoMsombuluko kusihlwa. Ngafika eNew York ngesikhathi ukuze ngihlanganyele emicimbini yangoLwesibili yengqungquthela yolwandle ye-UN enezithunywa ezingaphezu kuka-5000, nabameleli bamazwe angu-193 angamalungu e-UN. Ikomkhulu le-UN laliminyene—emaphasishi, amagumbi okuhlangana, ngisho nangaphandle endaweni. Kwabusa isiphithiphithi, nokho, kokubili kwakujabulisa futhi kukhiqiza, olwandle, ku-The Ocean Foundation (TOF), nakimi. Ngibonga kakhulu ngethuba lokubamba iqhaza kulo mcimbi oyingqophamlando.

Indlunkulu ye-UN, NYC

Le ngqungquthela ibigxile ku-SDG 14, noma i-Sustainable Development Goal ehlobene ngqo nolwandle kanye nobudlelwano bomuntu nalo.

The Izinhloso Zokuthuthukiswa Eziqhubekayo, kuhlanganise I-SDG14 ziyiqiniso, zibhalwe kahle futhi zisayinwe yizizwe eziyi-194. Ama-SDG aphumelele iMillennium Challenge Goals, eyayisekelwe kakhulu emazweni e-G7 etshela umhlaba wonke ukuthi “sizokwenzelani.” Esikhundleni salokho ama-SDG ayizinjongo zethu ezifanayo, ezibhalwe ngokuhlanganyela umphakathi wezizwe zomhlaba wonke ukuze sigxilise ukubambisana kwethu nokuqondisa izinjongo zethu zokuphatha. Ngakho-ke, izinjongo ezivezwe ku-SDG14 amasu esikhathi eside futhi aqinile okubuyisela ukwehla kolwandle lwethu olulodwa lomhlaba wonke oluhlushwa ukungcoliswa, ukufakwa kweasidi, ukudoba okungekho emthethweni kanye nokudoba ngokweqile kanye nokuntuleka kokubusa kolwandle oluphakeme. Ngamanye amazwi, ihambisana ngokuphelele nomsebenzi we-TOF.

Isihlalo sika-TOF etafuleni

INgqungquthela ye-UN SDG 14 yayiklanyelwe ukuba ibe ngaphezu kokuhlangana nje, noma ithuba nje lokwabelana ngolwazi namasu. Bekuhloswe ukuthi kunikeze ithuba lenqubekelaphambili yangempela ekufinyeleleni Izinjongo ze-SDG eziyi-14. Ngakho-ke, okuholela engqungqutheleni, izizwe, izikhungo zamazwe amaningi, kanye nama-NGO ayenze izibopho zokuzithandela ezingaphezu kwe-1,300 zokuthatha isinyathelo, ukuhlinzeka ngezimali, ukwakha amandla, nokudlulisa ubuchwepheshe. I-Ocean Foundation ibingomunye wabahlanganyeli okumenyezelwe ngokusemthethweni ukuzibophezela kwabo ngesikhathi kuqhubeka ingqungquthela.

Kungaba kwanele ukuhambela amaseshini nokuba nemihlangano ethokozisayo yasephasishi nozakwethu, ozakwethu nabangane abavela e-Asia, e-Afrika, e-Caribbean, eLatin America, eNyakatho Melika, e-Oceania naseYurophu. Kodwa ngibe nenhlanhla yokukwazi ukufaka isandla ngqo ngezindima zami ku:

• Ekhuluma kuphaneli yomcimbi oseceleni komnotho oluhlaza “Ikhono Lokushintsha: Ama-Clusters kanye ne-Triple Helix” esimemweni se-San Diego Maritime Alliance kanye ne-BlueTech Cluster Alliance yamazwe ngamazwe (Canada, France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, UK, US)
• Ukungenelela kokukhuluma okusemthethweni “I-Partnership Dialogue 3 - Ukunciphisa nokubhekana ne-acidity yolwandle"
• Ekhuluma kuphaneli yomcimbi oseceleni e-House of Germany, “Blue Solutions Market Place – Learning from each other,” imenywe ngabakwaDeutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
• Ekhuluma emcimbini oseceleni womnotho ohlaza okwesibhakabhaka obuhlelwe yi-TOF kanye ne-Rockefeller & Co. “The Blue Economy (Imibono evela embonini ezimele)

Ngokubambisana ne-Rockefeller & Company, siphinde sabamba umcimbi e-The Modern ukuze sabelane nge-Rockefeller Ocean Strategy (iphothifoliyo yethu yokutshala imali engakaze ibonwe ngaphambili), nesikhulumi sethu esiyisivakashi esikhethekile u-José María Figueres Olsen, owayenguMongameli wase-Costa Rica, kanye nosihlalo okanye naye. ye-Ocean Unite. Kulolu suku kusihlwa, bengiseqenjini no-Natalia Valtasaari, Inhloko Yotshalizimali Nezobudlelwano Bezindaba, we-Wärtsilä Corporation kanye no-Rolando F. Morillo, i-VP & Equity Analyst, u-Rockefeller & Co. ukuze sikhulume ngendlela utshalomali lwemboni ezimele esilwenzayo. ingxenye yomnotho omusha osimeme oluhlaza futhi basekela i-SDG14.

Umphathi Wohlelo lwe-TOF Fiscal Projects u-Ben Scheelk kanye nami saba nemihlangano esemthethweni yamazwe amabili nethimba laseNew Zealand naseSweden mayelana nokweseka kwabo. I-TOF's International Ocean Acidification Initiative. Ngikwazile futhi ukuhlangana ne-Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), NOAA, i-Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre ye-Ocean Acidification International ye-International Atomic Energy Agency, kanye ne-Western States' International Ocean Acidification Alliance mayelana nokusebenzisana kwethu ekwakhiweni komthamo we-acidification olwandle (isayensi noma inqubomgomo) — ikakhulukazi emazweni asathuthuka. Lokhu kunombono:

• Ukwakhiwa kwamakhono enqubomgomo, okuhlanganisa ukwakhiwa kwesifanekiso somthetho, kanye nokuqeqeshwa kontanga kuya kontanga ukuthi ohulumeni bangasabela kanjani ekugcwalisekeni kolwandle kanye nemithelela yako emnothweni wasogwini.
• Ukwakhiwa kwamandla esayensi, okuhlanganisa ukuqeqeshwa kontanga nokuhlanganyela ngokugcwele ku-Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON)
• Ukudluliswa kobuchwepheshe (njengelebhu yethu ye-“GOA-ON in a box” kanye nezinsiza zokufunda zenkundla), okwenza ososayensi bakuleli lizwe bakwazi ukuqapha ukugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle uma sebethole ukuqeqeshwa ngezinkundla zethu zokufundisana zokuthuthukisa amakhono ezibanjiwe noma ezihlelelwe I-Afrika, i-Pacific Islands, i-Caribbean/Latin America, ne-Arctic.

Ukungenelela okusemthethweni kwe-TOF kabusha kudingidwe ukugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle

Ingqungquthela yezinsuku ezinhlanu ye-UN Ocean yaphela ngoLwesihlanu mhla ziyisi-9 kuNhlangulana. Ngaphezu kwezibopho zokuzithandela eziyi-1300+, i-UN General Assembly yavumelana ngekhwelo lokuthi kuthathwe isinyathelo “sokuthatha isinyathelo esiwujuqu nangokuphuthuma” ukuze kusetshenziswe i-SDG14 futhi yakhipha umbhalo osekelayo, “Ulwandle lwethu, ikusasa lethu: Cela isenzo.” Kube nomuzwa omuhle kakhulu ukuba yingxenye yesinyathelo esihlanganyelwe emva kwamashumi eminyaka ami kulo mkhakha, noma ngabe ngazi ukuthi sonke sidinga ukuba yingxenye yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izinyathelo ezilandelayo ziyenzeka ngempela.

Ku-The Ocean Foundation, kwakuwumphumela weminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-15 yomsebenzi, osekuhileleke abaningi bethu. Ngijabule kakhulu ngokuba lapho ngimele umphakathi wethu, nokuba yingxenye ye-#SavingOurOcean.
