I-TOF Iqwashisa Abaholi Bakahulumeni Ngezinsongo Zomhlaba Wonke Ezibangelwa I-Ocean Acidification

WASHINGTON, DC, January 8, 2020 - Ukugubha usuku lwesibili lwaminyaka yonke lwe-International Ocean Acidification Day, I-Ocean Foundation (I-TOF), ngokubambisana neNxusa LaseNew Zealand, isingathe umbuthano wabameleli bakahulumeni ukuze kugqugquzelwe isinyathelo kanye nokuhalalisela amazwe nemiphakathi esenze izibopho zokubhekana nenselele yomhlaba wonke yokugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle. Usuku lokusebenza lwenzeke ngomhla ka-8 Januwari ukumela u-8.1, izinga le-pH lamanje lolwandle lwethu.

Ngesikhathi somcimbi, i-TOF ikhiphe i- I-Ocean Acidification Guidebook Yabenzi Bezinqubomgomo, umbiko obanzi mayelana nomthetho we-acidification olwandle ezingeni lamazwe ngamazwe, lesifunda, kazwelonke, kanye namazwe angaphansi. Ngokusho kweSikhulu Sezinhlelo ze-TOF, u-Alexis Valauri-Orton, “umgomo uwukunikeza izifanekiso zenqubomgomo nezibonelo ezizokwenza abakhi benqubomgomo bakwazi ukuguqula imibono ibe yisenzo.” Njengoba uValauri-Orton ephawula, “kusukela ekujuleni kuya ekujuleni kweplanethi yethu eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, amakhemikhali olwandle ashintsha ngokushesha kunanoma yisiphi isikhathi emlandweni womhlaba. Futhi nakuba lolu shintsho kumakhemikhali - olwaziwa nge-ocean acidification (OA) - lungase lungabonakali, umthelela walo awubonakali. " Eqinisweni, ulwandle manje selune-asidi engaphezulu ngama-30% namuhla kunaseminyakeni engama-200 edlule, futhi seluba ne-asidi ngokushesha kunanoma yisiphi isikhathi emlandweni woMhlaba.¹

Ngokubona ukuthi le nkinga yomhlaba wonke idinga isinyathelo somhlaba wonke, i-TOF yethula uSuku Lokusebenza Lwezizwe Ngezizwe Lokuqala Lwe-OA eNdlini YaseSweden ngoMasingana wezi-2019. Lo mcimbi ububanjwe ngokubambisana nokwesekwa okuvela kuHulumeni waseSweden nowaseFiji, ubuholi babo obuhlanganyelwe. ekongiweni kolwandle kuhlanganisa nokusingathwa ngokubambisana kweNgqungquthela Yentuthuko Eqhubekayo (SDG) 14 Ocean Conference eNhlanganweni Yezizwe Ezihlangene ngo-2017. Ukusukela kulowo mfutho, umhlangano walo nyaka ubuhlanganise abaholi abanamandla emhlabeni abaseqhulwini ekulweni nemiphumela edabukisayo ye-OA. . Usokhaya walo nyaka, i-New Zealand, usebenza njengomholi we-Commonwealth's Blue Charter Action Group on Ocean Acidification, futhi utshale imali ekwakheni ukuqina kwe-OA eziQhingini zasePacific. Isikhulumi esivakashile esifakiwe, u-Jatziri Pando, uyiNhloko Yezisebenzi ZeKomidi Lezemvelo, Imvelo, Nokuguquguquka Kwesimo Sezulu eSigele saseMexico. IKomidi lisebenzisana ne-TOF ukwakha uhlaka lwenqubomgomo kazwelonke yokufunda nokuphendula i-OA eMexico.

I-OA ibeka engcupheni yamanje ekuhwebeni kwezentengiselwano zomhlaba wonke (ukutshalwa kwezinhlanzi, izimbaza nezinye izilwane zasolwandle ukuze zidle), futhi, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, isisekelo salo lonke uchungechunge lokudla kwasolwandle ngenxa yemiphumela yako elimazayo egobolondweni- ukwakha izinto eziphilayo. Kudingeka izinyathelo zokuhlela ngokubambisana ezihlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwesayensi nenqubomgomo ukuze kubhekwane nale nselele yomhlaba wonke, futhi kunesidingo esikhulu samaphrojekthi avikela ukuphila kahle, avikela impahla, anciphise umonakalo wengqalasizinda, onge izindawo zokuzalanisa ukudla kwasolwandle, futhi azuzise imvelo kanye nomnotho. . Ukwengeza, ukwakha amandla ezikhungo nezesayensi emiphakathini ngokugxila ekunciphiseni ubungozi kuyisici esibalulekile kanye nengxenye ebalulekile yesu lomphakathi lokubhekana nesimo sezulu.

Kuze kube manje, i-TOF isiqeqeshe ososayensi nabakhi benqubomgomo abangaphezu kwamakhulu amabili ngamasu okuqapha kanye nokunciphisa i-OA, isibize inqwaba yemihlangano yokucobelelana ngolwazi yesifunda futhi yaxhasa ngezimali ukuqeqeshwa okwenzeka emhlabeni wonke, ezindaweni ezifana neMauritius, Mozambique, Fiji, Hawaii, EColombia, ePanama naseMexico. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-TOF ihlinzekele izikhungo nezinhlangano eziyishumi nesikhombisa ngemishini yokuqapha i-acidification yolwandle emhlabeni wonke. Ungafunda kabanzi mayelana ne-TOF's International Ocean Acidification Initiative lapha.
