I-IATA inxusa ukwamukelwa kwenhloso yesikhathi eside yokuqeda i-carbon dioxide emoyeni

I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) icele ohulumeni ukuthi bamukele Inhloso Yesikhathi Eside Yokukhuthalela ukuqeda amandla ezindiza eMhlanganweni wama-41 we-International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka. 

Leli khwelo lifike eMhlanganweni Omkhulu Wonyaka wama-78 we-IATA (AGM) kanye neNgqungquthela Yomhlaba Yezokuthutha Ezimoyeni (i-WATS) lapho izinkampani zezindiza zenza imephu yendlela yokuzibophezela kwemboni ukuzuza ukukhishwa kwenani eliphansi ngo-2050 ngokuhambisana nomgomo we-Paris Agreement of 1.5°C. 

“Ukuqedwa komnotho womhlaba kuzodinga ukutshalwa kwezimali emazweni wonke nasemashumini eminyaka, ikakhulukazi ekushintsheni kude nezibaseli ezimbiwa phansi. Ukuzinza kwezindaba zenqubomgomo. Ku-AGM ye-IATA ngo-Okthoba 2021, izinkampani zezindiza ezingamalungu e-IATA zathatha isinqumo esiyingqopha-mlando sokuzibophezela ekuzuzeni ukukhishwa kwegesi engu-zero ngo-2050. Njengoba sisuka ekuzibophezeleni siya esinyathelweni, kubalulekile ukuthi imboni yesekelwe ohulumeni ngezinqubomgomo ezigxile ku umgomo ofanayo wokuqeda ikhabhoni,” kusho u-Willie Walsh, uMqondisi Jikelele we-IATA. 

“Ukuthola ukukhishwa kwe-zero kuzoba yinselelo enkulu. Isikali esihlosiwe semboni ngo-2050 sizodinga ukuncishiswa kwamagigathoni ekhabhoni ayi-1.8. Ukufeza lokho kuzodinga ukutshalwa kwezimali kulo lonke uchungechunge lwenani olungena kuzigidigidi zamadola. Ukutshalwa kwezimali ngalelo langa kumele kusekelwe izinqubomgomo zikahulumeni ezingaguquki emhlabeni wonke ezisiza ukuletha isifiso sokuqeda ikhabhoni, kucatshangelwe amazinga ahlukene entuthuko, futhi zingaphambanisi ukuncintisana,” kusho u-Walsh.

“Nginethemba lokuthi ohulumeni bazokweseka isifiso semboni ngesivumelwano se-Long-Term Aspirational Goal eMhlanganweni we-ICAO ozayo. Abantu bafuna ukubona ukuhamba kwezindiza kuqeda ikhabhoni. Balindele ukuthi imboni nohulumeni basebenzisane. Ukuzimisela kwemboni ukuthola u-zero ku-net ngo-2050 kuqinile. Ohulumeni bangakuchaza kanjani ukwehluleka ukufinyelela esivumelwaneni nezakhamuzi zabo?” Kusho uWalsh.

Imininingwane evela ocwaningweni lwakamuva lwe-IATA ikhombisa ukuthi ukwenza ngcono umthelela wezindiza zemvelo kuthathwa njengento ebaluleke kakhulu kubagibeli ngemuva kobhubhane, njengoba u-73% wabantu okwavotwa kuwo ufuna imboni yezokundiza igxile ekwehliseni umthelela wesimo sezulu njengoba iphuma enkingeni ye-COVID. Izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabantu okwaxoxwa ngazo nazo zikholelwa ukuthi ukukhokhisa intela imboni ngeke kufinyelele ku-zero ngokushesha futhi bazwakalise ukukhathazeka ngemali eqoqiwe ingabekelwanga amaphrojekthi e-decarbonization.
