(eTN) - I-Kyoto yelula kwaze kwaba ngu-2020, iphakethe lesinqumo eliphoqwe uSihlalo weNgqungquthela, isivumelwano esisha esisalungiswa ukuthi sibe sesilungile ngo-2015 kodwa akukho mali okwamanje yokuthi i-Afrika neziqhingi ezincane zinciphise izono zabangcolisi - lokho kungashiwo. kafushane mayelana neNkomfa Yokuguquguquka Kwesimo Sezulu yase-Doha ka-2012 esanda kuphela, eyaziwa ngokuthi i-COP18.
Imizamo yokubiza i-Doha ibe yimpumelelo, ngemuva kokuthi ingqungquthela iphele sekudlule usuku sekwephuzile ngenxa yenkani yokungaguquki kanye nokuphikisa kwedlanzana lezithunywa, okuhlanganisa abaseRussia, abase-Ukraine, abaseBelarus, abaseMelika, kanye nabanye abambalwa, kudingeke ukuthi yehliswe ukuze ibhale ilebula engqungqutheleni. hhayi ukwehluleka okuqondile njengoba kungafezwa ubuncane bezivumelwano kuphela.
Naphezu kokubhala manje ngokucacile odongeni, kanye nokuqagela kokushintsha kwesimo sezulu okusikisela ukunyuka kwamazinga okushisa ngo-2 degrees C 40 iminyaka kusukela manje, futhi kuze kufike ku-5+ degrees C ekupheleni kwekhulu leminyaka, abangcolisi abakhulu bake baba khona. waphinda waphumelela ukuphushela izinqumo ezinzima esikhathini esizayo. Lokhu kubangele ukudumala phakathi kwezithunywa zase-Afrika kanye naphakathi kwemingcele yezizwe eziqhingini ezincane, eyayiholwa uRonny Jumeau waseSeychelles ngokuqaphela imizamo yesikhathi eside yaleli qoqo leziqhingi yokugqamisa imiphumela yokukhuphuka kwamazinga olwandle ukuze zisinde.
Ikakhulukazi, lapha eMpumalanga Afrika amazinga okushisa akhuphukayo asebonise umthelela omkhulu, kusukela ekuncibilikeni kweqhwa kweNtaba iKilimanjaro, iNtaba iKenya, kanye nezintaba zaseRwenzori, ezibizwa ngokuthi Izintaba zeNyanga, phezu komjikelezo osheshayo wesomiso nezikhukhula. ekubhebhethekeni kukamalaleveva ezindaweni eziphakeme ezazivikela izifo, okugqugquzelwa isimo sezulu esifudumele esivumela omiyane be-anopheles ukuba bachume ezindaweni eziphakeme.
Izinguzunga zeqhwa eNtabeni iKenya ziye zancipha ngaphezu kwengxenye phakathi neminyaka engu-30 edlule, iqhwa elidumile laseKilimanjaro, elafa ngencwadi ka-Ernest Hemingway, elithi “Snows of Kilimanjaro,” manje liyisithunzi nje salezo zinsuku zakudala, kanye nezinguzunga zeqhwa. yaseRwenzoris yehle ngamakhilomitha amaningana kusukela izintaba zanqotshwa okokuqala eminyakeni eyi-100 edlule. Lobu bufakazi buphikisana nokugomela okushiwo kwezinye zezizwe ezithuthukile, okucatshangwa ukuthi ziyimbangela yokwanda kwezisi ezingcolisa umoya, zokuthi ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kuyinganekwane nje. Lapha, kuyiqiniso elikhona kakade futhi elisongela ukukhiqizwa kokudla nemithombo yamanzi emashumini ezigidi zabantu, libalahla ebumnyameni nasebubini uma kungekho zinguquko ezinkulu ezenzeka endleleni umhlaba obhekana ngayo nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu njengamanje.
Kwenye indawo e-Afrika, amaSeychelles ngokwesibonelo, abhekene namazinga olwandle akhuphuka kancane kancane, okuwusongo emnyombweni wokusinda kwawo, okuchaza ukuthi kungani uMongameli waseSeychelles uMichel ekwenze kwaba yisizinda kunqubomgomo yakhe yezangaphandle ukwakha umfelandawonye. amazwe amancane aseziqhingini asengozini ngokulinganayo ukuze akhuthaze izinyathelo ezibaluleke kakhulu zokulwa nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Ngakho-ke, umfelandawonye walabo abathinteke kakhulu ufune ukuthi amazwe athuthukile, athathwa njengawona angcolisa umhlaba futhi abangele ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, kanye nabangcolisi abasanda kuvela abanjengoChina, i-India, neRussia, kufanele bafake isandla ngezezimali e-Afrika nezincane. amazwe aseziqhingini, umbono osanqatshiwe “abanakho” kodwa ekugcineni ungenakugwemeka, njengoba umgomo wesinxephezelo usubonakala ufakwe ezinqumweni zaseDoha.
Ithimba laseMelika ikakhulukazi libonakale liphikisana nalesi simiso yize uhulumeni wobumbano esanda kucela iCongress ukuthi igunyaze imali engaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingama-US $60 ukusiza izifundazwe ezacekelwa phansi yiSiphepho uSandy emasontweni ambalwa edlule. Lapho, isivunguvungu esisodwa siye sadala umonakalo nokucekeleka phansi okungakaze kubonwe e-Afrika okube yinqubo ekhula kancane kancane. Ukwehla kokungcoliswa komhlaba wonke kushaye izwekazi lintula izinsiza esezivele zikhona zokunakekelwa kwezempilo kanye nezemfundo, ngaphandle koxhaso olutholakalayo lokulwa nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu okulethwa amazwe anesibopho futhi manje akha izindonga zokuqhubeka nokuvikela izindlela zokuphila zokudla okungenazinzo. Izinhlekelele zemvelo ezifana nesomiso esanwetshiwe, ezibangela izigidi ukuba zilambe, ziye zadonsa amehlo kwabezindaba zomhlaba wonke futhi zaholela ekutheni lezo zithombe ezishaqisayo zezingane ezifayo ezinohlaka lwamathambo zibonakale kuma-TV phesheya kwezilwandle, kodwa ngokuyinhloko inqubo yokusheshisa ukukhula kokuguquka kwesimo sezulu iye yawa. izwe alinakiwe.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- In spite of the writing now being clearly on the wall, and climate change projections suggesting an average rise of temperatures by 2 degrees C 40 years from now, and up to 5+ degrees C by the end of the century, the main polluters have once again succeeded to push tough decisions into the future.
- Hence, the coalition of those most affected has demanded that the developed world, seen as the primary polluter and cause of climate change, and also the newly-emerging mega polluters like China, India, and Russia, should make financial contributions to Africa and small island nations, a notion still rejected by the “haves” but eventually inevitable, now that the principle of compensation appears enshrined in the Doha Resolutions.
- Imizamo yokubiza i-Doha ibe yimpumelelo, ngemuva kokuthi ingqungquthela iphele sekudlule usuku sekwephuzile ngenxa yenkani yokungaguquki kanye nokuphikisa kwedlanzana lezithunywa, okuhlanganisa abaseRussia, abase-Ukraine, abaseBelarus, abaseMelika, kanye nabanye abambalwa, kudingeke ukuthi yehliswe ukuze ibhale ilebula engqungqutheleni. hhayi ukwehluleka okuqondile njengoba kungafezwa ubuncane bezivumelwano kuphela.
