“Mangiqale ngikwenze kucace ukuthi namuhla nasezinyangeni ezizayo konke okwenziwa uhulumeni nezimboni kumele kugxilwe ekuphenduleni okuphelele, kuphindwe impendulo ephelele, esitheni somhlaba wonke se-COVID 19. Ezindabeni zezempilo: izindaba zokuziphilisa: izindaba zomndeni kanye izingqinamba zokusinda kwebhizinisi. Kuyimpi. Akukho okubaluleke ukwedlula ukuphendula okuhambisanayo kukazwelonke nakwamanye amazwe, lapho kuhlanganiswa khona, isenzo esihlanganisiwe ukuphela kwendlela evulekile. ”
Njengoba inkinga yobhadane ikhula, ukudonsa umnotho womhlaba ekubhekaneni nokwehla kwamandla emali kuyacaca ukuthi umkhakha we ravel nezokuvakasha usenkabeni ye-maelstrom. Izindiza zishaya izindiza: Izinkampani ezihamba ngezikebhe zikhansela izinhlelo: Amahhotela abona ukubhukha kushabalala. Futhi ngayo yonke i-Travel Ecosystem yezikhumulo zezindiza, amachweba, iziteshi, kanye nemihlangano, imicimbi yezemidlalo, amapaki wezingqikithi, imikhosi yomculo nazo zonke izinsizakalo zokungenisa izihambi ezenzelwe ukondla nokujabulisa izihambi. Eminye i-10% yomnotho womhlaba, eqhutshwa ngqo nangokungaqondile yilo mkhakha iya ngokuma. Amashumi ezigidi emisebenzi kanye nempilo yasendlini asongelwa. Ezindaweni ezincike kwezokuvakasha - njengeziqhingi ezincane zezifunda eziseCaribbean nase-Asia noma emazweni asathuthuka e-Afrika, abeke ikusasa labo ekhadini lezokuvakasha, izingxenye ezinkulu zomnotho zimane zanyamalala.
Futhi kulungile ukuthi ukuhamba kuyancishiswa lapho abaphathi bezempilo bephetha lokhu kuzosiza ekunqandeni ukusabalala kwalolu bhubhane. Kuyadingeka, ukudlala indima yethu, ekubhekaneni nesitha esiphuthumayo esingaziwa se-COVID 19, esinikeza usongo olukhulu ngokushesha esintwini. Ngasohlangothini lweqiniso lwamasu, ochwepheshe bezempilo abaholwa yi-WHO, babona iphethini yokukhula okusabalele: ukuvinjelwa okuhamba kancane kanye nokwakhiwa kwempendulo. Lokhu kuzothatha isikhathi sokucwaninga: ukuvunywa kokulawulwa nokukalwa kwamazinga okukhiqiza omhlaba.
Kodwa futhi siyazi ukuthi noma ngabe le nkinga ibucayi kangakanani, ekugcineni ibhizinisi lizoqala kabusha, futhi yonke imisebenzi yezimboni kuzodingeka isethwe kabusha ukuze iphendule ngokuhlakanipha. Kungathatha unyaka noma ngaphezulu, akekho owaziyo kepha lapho kufika ukuphela, sizobe sesikulungele ukucosha izingcezu zethu, sivumelanise izindlela zethu zenhlalo-mnotho futhi siqhubeke nempilo. Ezokuvakasha nezokuVakasha zizophinde zivuseleleke futhi ziqhubeke nokuba yingxenye esemqoka yentuthuko yezenhlalo nezomnotho emhlabeni jikelele. Kuku-DNA yethu.
KODWA futhi KUKHULU, kodwa enye inkinga enkulu ebhekene nesintu, i-Climate Change, ayikasuki; futhi ngeke lisuke. Iyatholakala futhi ngaphandle kokuba imithombo yezindaba ibusa, incithakalo yangempela ye-COVID19, asikwazi ukukhokhela iso lethu ebholeni lesimo sezulu.
Ukuze usebenzise isifaniso, kuyilapho i-COVID 19 ifana nommese emzimbeni wesintu, akusona isongo esikhona, kuyisilonda esibi kakhulu KODWA Inkinga Yesimo Sezulu yehlukile, ifana kakhulu necala lexoxo elingalindelekile elibulawa kancane kancane ebhodweni lamanzi afudumeza kancane kodwa angenakuphikiswa. Akukho ukusabela. Akukho ukuphunyula. Akukho ukutakula. Sineminyaka engu-7-10 ukufika eParis 1.5oC, trajectory yesimo sezulu esingathathi hlangothi. Kepha kuphela uma sithatha izinyathelo ezinqala manje.
At SUNx Malta sicabanga ukuthi umkhakha ungahamba futhi uhlafune ushungamu ngasikhathi sinye, futhi manje yiwona kanye umzuzu wokukhombisa lokho. Lapho konke ukucabanga okungokomlando kokusebenza kanye nentuthuko kusabuyekezwa futhi amazwe imiphakathi: izinkampani kanye nabathengi baphinde baphonsa amacebo nezenzo zabo ezihlobene nezezohambo nezokuvakasha.

Inyoni yakhe iyinjongo yethu.
Ngakho-ke ungalahli ithemba ngalokhu okumangazayo esiyingozi ukwesatshiswa kwe-COVID 19 - qaphela, sizonqoba futhi sivuselele inkambo enhle yokuthuthuka komuntu KODWA ngasikhathi sinye, siphendule ngokushesha futhi siphendule manje sikhona usongo lokuguquka kwesimo sezulu. Singakwazi futhi kufanele sikwenze kokubili ku-synch.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- To use an analogy, while COVID 19 is like a knife into the body of humanity, it is not an existential threat, it's a very serious wound BUT the Climate Crisis is different, it is more like the case of the unsuspecting frog being gradually killed in a pot of slowly but inexorably heating water.
- And with the support of Malta's Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection, Julia Farrugia Portelli, who has declared her country to be a global Centre of Climate Friendly Travel, we are deploying tools to help the entire sector in its essential transformation.
- It may take a year or more, no one knows but when the end comes, we will be ready to pick up the pieces, adapt our socio-economic patterns and get on with life.
