(eTN) - UMnyango Wezomnotho, Wezohwebo Nezimboni wase-Japan ubikezele ukuthi imindeni yase-Japan kanye namabhizinisi azobhekana nesikweletu sika-US$500 wezigidigidi kule minyaka eyishumi ezayo uma ufuna ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwesisi esingcolisa umoya ngamaphesenti angu-11, ngokwemibiko yakamuva.
Noma kunjalo, izomelela kuphela ukwehla ngamaphesenti ama-4 kusukela kumazinga ka-2012 iJapan ezibophezele ngayo. Ngaphansi kwesivumelwano sokufudumala kwembulunga yonke sase-Kyoto, i-Japan ivumile ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-greenhouse ngamaphesenti angu-6 ngaphansi kwamazinga ka-1990 ngo-2012.
Isibikezelo silinganisela ukuthi imindeni yase-Japan izosebenzisa imali elingana ne-US$258 billion ezindlekweni zokufaka ama-solar nokuthenga izinto zikagesi nezimoto ezonga amandla. Njengamanje imindeni emaphakathi yaseJapan isebenzisa cishe u-US$400 ngonyaka.
Imboni yaseJapan yona, izobhekana nomthethosivivinywa wezigidigidi ezingama-269 zamaRandi ezindlekweni zokushintshela kubuchwepheshe obuwonga ugesi, okuhlanganisa nezindleko zokushintshela ezimotweni “ezishisayo” kanye nokwakha izimboni zenuzi.
“IJapane izosebenzisa imali eningi ukuze izuze kancane,” kusho umhlaziyi wezibopho zezimali.
Kodwa-ke, ngaphansi kwesiphakamiso sokwethula "amakhredithi ekhabhoni" emakethe evulekile, i-Japan ingaphendukela "ekuthengeni" izikweletu ezinjalo ukuze kuxazululwe ingxenye yezinkinga zayo zokukhishwa kwekhabhoni.
I-Japan ibihamba phambili emgomweni womhlaba wonke wokunciphisa ukungcoliswa komoya ngamaphesenti angama-50 ngonyaka ka-2050, lapho kuphela isikhathi se-Kyoto Protocol.
“Ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kuyingozi esintwini sisonke,” kusho umqondisi we-United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) uKemal Dervis. "Ngabampofu ababhekene nezindleko ezisheshayo nezinzima kakhulu zomuntu."
Embikweni wayo othi “Ukulwa Nokuguquguquka Kwesimo Sezulu: Ubumbano Lwabantu Ezweni Elihlukene,” i-UNDP ixwayise umthelela wokuguquka kwesimo sezulu ungase ulethe ukuguqulwa “okungakaze kubonwe ngaphambili” ekunciphiseni ubumpofu, ukudla okunomsoco, ezempilo kanye nemfundo. “Amazwe ampofu kakhulu emhlabeni abhekene nokungondleki, ukuntuleka kwamanzi, izinsongo zemvelo nokulahlekelwa yizimpilo.”
ISivumelwano Sase-Kyoto, esiphelelwa yisikhathi ngo-2012, kwaxoxiswana ngaso eJapane ngo-1997, sabophezela amazwe angu-36 athuthukile ukuba anciphise ukukhishwa kwegesi engcolisayo ngesilinganiso samaphesenti amahlanu ngaphansi kwamazinga ka-5 phakathi kuka-1990-2008.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- I-Japan ibihamba phambili emgomweni womhlaba wonke wokunciphisa ukungcoliswa komoya ngamaphesenti angama-50 ngonyaka ka-2050, lapho kuphela isikhathi se-Kyoto Protocol.
- The Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012, was negotiated in Japan in 1997, committing 36 industrialized nations to cut greenhouse emissions on average of 5 percent below 1990 levels between 2008-2012.
- The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has forecast Japanese households and businesses will face a bill of US$500 billion over the next decade if it wants to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 11 percent, according to latest reports.
