Isikhungo Sokuqiniswa Kwezokuvakasha kanye Nezinkinga Zokulawulwa Kwezinhlekelele iqhamuka ngokushesha njengenhlangano entsha nebalulekile okumele yenzelwe umkhakha wezokuvakasha nowezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke ngezikhathi zezinselelo.
Ubuholi nokuxhumana kuyadingeka ukuze kuvikelwe le mboni yomhlaba wonke, futhi Isikhungo sikulungele ukusebenza nawo wonke umuntu, kodwa sinxusa ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuthatha isinyathelo manje.
UNWTO iumangalele isitatimende esivamile namuhla, WTTC Isikhulu esiphezulu uGloria Guevara kubhekiswe i-coronavirus lapho kukhulunywa nayo eTurboNews uthi ungakhanseli izindiza okwamanje, ungazivali izikhumulo zakho, Isikhulu se-ETOA uTom Jenkins uthe: Ukwesaba iCoronavirus kuyisithiyo esinamandla kwezokuvakasha. I Ibhodi Yezokuvakasha yase-Afrika uphendule lo mbuzo uma ngabe usafanele uye e-Afrika? Umphathi we-PATA u-Mario Hardy uqinisekile ukuthi kunolwazi oluningi olungelona iqiniso futhi wathi: Abathengisi bendawo nezokuvakasha bazodinga ukubamba iqhaza elibalulekile ekulungiseni inqwaba yolwazi olungelona iqiniso oluzungeze ukuqubuka okuqhubekayo kwe Novel Coronavirus okuhlukumeza amabhizinisi ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha kulo lonke elase-Asia.
Namuhla isikhungo seGlobal Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Center sicela isinyathelo sezinkampani ezizimele, izifundiswa, imboni yomphakathi, nama-ejensi avela emazweni amaningi ukuthi athathe isinyathelo manje, njengoba isimo sokuvikela i-Anthropocene Earth siphelelwa isineke seSikhathi.
Indoda engemuva kwalesi sikhungo, uNgqongqoshe uBartlett ezinsukwini ezi-3 nje ezedlule uthe izinsongo ezisanda kuvela zobhadane lomhlaba kanye nokuvela kaningi kwezinhlekelele zemvelo kukhulise isidingo Isikhwama Somhlaba Wonke Sokuqiniswa Kwezokuvakasha.
Imboni yezokuvakasha kanye nezokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke ibhekene nobunzima bokubhekana nenkinga ye-coronavirus evelayo.
Inkinga eqhubekayo ye-coronavirus ingaba yinselelo enkulu kunazo zonke ezingabhekana nale mboni evame ukukhula. Ukuvimba abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyinkulungwane ekuhambeni kungaba umphumela wokugcina futhi owonakalisayo obeka impilo yabantu abayizigidi abasebenza embonini yezokuvakasha engcupheni.
Abahambi baseChina babonwe njengabathuthukisi abangahle kakhulu kwezokuvakasha eminyakeni engama-20 edlule. Namuhla amazwe avale imingcele yawo ngenxa yezivakashi zaseChina, izindiza, izitimela nemikhumbi eyekile ukukhonza izindawo zaseChina. Uhulumeni waseChina uhlukanisa izigidi zezakhamizi zabo ziyeke imizila yokuhamba yasekhaya ngesikhathi sokuhamba esimatasa kakhulu, iLunar New Years.
Inhlangano eyodwa yomhlaba, iGlobal Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre ngaphansi kobuholi buka-Edmund Bartlett noDkt, uTaleb Rifai ithatha indlela edinga usizo ngokushesha.
U-Edmund Bartlett nguNgqongqoshe Wezokuvakasha weSizwe Esiqhingini SaseJamaica, isifunda esincike kwiDola lezokuvakasha elinamandla.
UBartlett ubonwa abaningi njengomdlali womhlaba. Kanye nangaphambili UNWTO UNobhala-Jikelele, uDkt. Taleb Rifai, usungule i-Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre ekomkhulu e-Jamaica. Esikhathini esingangonyaka nje lesi sikhungo savula iziteshi zesathelayithi emhlabeni wonke.
Lesi sikhungo sinxusa isenzo semboni ezimele, abezemfundo, imboni kahulumeni, kanye nama-ejensi avela emazweni amaningi ukuthi athathe isinyathelo manje, njengesimo sokuvikela. I-Anthropocene Earth akabekezeli isikhathi.
Iplanethi yethu kanye nohlanga lwesintu zibhekene nezinselele eziningi. Lezi zinselelo zisemhlabeni wonke futhi zibucayi - ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu, ukukhiqizwa kokudla, ukugcwala ngokweqile, izifo eziwumshayabhuqe. ukuqothulwa kwezinye izinhlobo zezilwane, isifo esiwumqedazwe, i-acidification yezilwandle.
Abantu sebekhona iminyaka engama-200,000 nje kuphela, kepha umthelela wethu emhlabeni mkhulu kakhulu kangangokuba ososayensi emhlabeni jikelele bafuna isikhathi sethu emlandweni woMhlaba sibizwe ngokuthi 'I-Anthropocene'- iminyaka yabantu. Izinguquko esesizenza manje ziye zathwalisa kanzima umhlaba wemvelo osizungezile. Kubalulekile ukuthi abantu baqonde umthelela esinawo. Sisize sincenge ezinye izinhlangano ukuthi zibatshele iqiniso.
Kuthathe isintu iminyaka engama-200,000 ukufinyelela isigidi esisodwa neminyaka engama-200 kuphela ukufinyelela ezigidigidini eziyisikhombisa. Sisengeza ezinye izigidi ezingama-80 unyaka nonyaka futhi siqonde ezigidigidini eziyi-10 maphakathi nekhulu leminyaka.
Usongo lwe-coronavirus luphakanyiselwe ezingeni lenkinga kulandela isimemezelo sayizolo se-World Health Organisation (WHO) sokuthi leli gciwane manje 'liyisimo esiphuthumayo sezempilo somphakathi esikhathaza umhlaba wonke.
Isimemezelo esiphuthumayo se-WHO size ngenxa yokwanda kwamanani okufa kanye nezifo ezihambisana naleli gciwane.
Ungqongqoshe waseJamaica uthe: “Ngenkathi isifunda saseLatin America naseCaribbean singakabikeli izigameko ze-coronavirus, kunengqondo ukucabanga ukuthi leli gciwane kungenzeka lihlasele osebeni lwalesi sifunda nganoma yisiphi isikhathi manje, uma kubhekwa ukusabalala kwalo kwamanje futhi umkhondo. ”
UBartlett wengeze wathi: “Kuzo zonke izinhloso, usongo lwe-coronavirus manje selwenza isimo esiphuthumayo somhlaba wonke - leso esidinga impendulo yomhlaba wonke ehlanganisiwe, engenangqondo ukuze iqukathe lolu bhubhane oluzayo.
Imboni yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha, ikakhulukazi, isesimweni esiyingozi kakhulu futhi ibhekene nethuba eliphakeme kakhulu lokuwa kwezomnotho okubonakalayo kusukela enkingeni yezempilo yomhlaba evelayo.
Lokhu kungenxa yezizathu ezimbili eziyinhloko.
Okokuqala, usongo lwe-coronavirus ludale ukwesaba okukhulu kokuhamba emhlabeni jikelele. Okwesibili, iShayina iyimakethe yezokuvakasha ephumayo enkulu kunazo zonke futhi echitha kakhulu imali. Ngokumelene nalesi sizinda, imboni yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha yomhlaba wonke iyacelwa ukuthi ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekubumbeni imizamo yokusabela emhlabeni jikelele.
Kuleli qophelo, ukugxila okuyinhloko ekuphenduleni komhlaba wonke kusongo lwe-coronavirus ukuvimbela ukuvezwa okuthe xaxa ngaphesheya kwezindawo ezithintekayo njengamanje kanye nokuhlukanisa abantu abanegciwane kubantu abangenalo igciwane.
Ukufeza lezi zinhloso ezimbili kuzodinga ukuhlanganiswa kwezinsizakusebenza ezibalulekile zabantu, ezobuchwepheshe nezemali ukusungula izinhlelo ezinokwethenjelwa zokuqapha ukuhlola nokuhlukanisa ubungozi ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene zokungena.
Ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kuyadingeka ngokuphuthumayo ukuthola ubuchwepheshe besimanje bezempilo ukuze kuhlolwe ubungozi, ukwenza ucwaningo ngemithi yokugoma, ukuthuthukisa imikhankaso yokufundisa umphakathi nokuqinisekisa ukwabiwa kwemininingwane ngesikhathi sangempela nokuxhumana emingceleni.
Sishayela ihlombe isenzo esisheshayo seziphathimandla zezempilo zaseChina ezakhe isibhedlela esinemibhede eyi-1000 ngezinsuku ezine futhi ezibonise ukubambisana namanye amazwe ukunqanda ukusabalala kwaso emhlabeni jikelele. Manje sinxusa zonke izinhlangano ezixhasa ngezimali imboni yomphakathi nezimele emhlabeni wonke ukuthi zisekele imizamo ehlukahlukene yezimo eziphuthumayo ethuthukiswayo nesatshalaliswa ukubhekana nobhubhane oluzayo lwe-coronavirus olusongela ukuphepha kwabantu nezomnotho emhlabeni jikelele.
Umthethosivivinywa Womhlaba Wonke ka Human Rights Isigaba 13 se-Universal Declaration of Human Rights ufundeka kanje: (1) Wonke umuntu une kwesokudla kuya inkululeko yokunyakaza kanye nokuhlala ngaphakathi kwemingcele yoMbuso ngamunye. (2) Wonke umuntu unalo kwesokudla ukushiya noma yiliphi izwe, kuhlanganise nelakubo, futhi abuyele ezweni lakubo. Leli lungelo manje lisengozini.
UDkt Peter Tarlow we Ezokuvakasha Eziphephile ubelokhu esebenza noMhlonishwa. UNgqongqoshe uBartlett ngokuphepha nokuvikeleka kwezokuvakasha selokhu kwasungulwa lesi sikhungo.
UDkt. Tarlow uthe ku-webinar namuhla: Uma kwake kwaba khona isikhathi sokushintsha amashidi ekamelweni lakho lehhotela nsuku zonke, manje. Uma bekunesikhathi sokuthi i-Boeing ne-Airbus ivumele umoya omusha endizeni yabo esikhundleni sokuzungeza umoya ofanayo, bekuyimanje. Khohlwa izifihla-buso, kodwa gwema ukusebenzisa imicamelo nezingubo zokulala endizeni, gwema ukugcwala kwabantu, geza izandla futhi ugweme ukuxhawula, thatha uVithamini C, lala ngokwanele, uphuze amanzi amaningi.
Iseshini elandelayo ye-webinar eku-inthanethi ihlelelwe uLwesine futhi itholakale kuwo wonke umuntu obefuna ukubamba iqhaza kusuka kusikrini sekhompyutha yakhe.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Today the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre center calls on the action by the private sector, academia, public sector, and multilateral agencies to act now, as the situation of protecting Anthropocene Earth is impatient of Time.
- Human beings have existed for just 200,000 years, yet our impact on the planet is so great that scientists around the world are calling for our period in the Earth's history to be named the ‘Anthropocene‘ – the age of humans.
