Umbiko omusha weNhlangano Yezizwe ucela amazwe ase-Asia nasePacific ukuthi aqale uguquko lwezimboni 'oluluhlaza' olusebenzisa ithuba lokuthuthukiswa kokusebenza kahle kwezinsiza ukuze achume ekhulwini lama-21.
Njengamanje lesi sifunda sithatha ngaphezu kwesigamu sengqikithi yokusetshenziswa kwezinsiza emhlabeni, ngokusho kwe-UN Environment Programme (UNEP), ethi lokhu kubangelwa kakhulu ukuthi sinesibalo esingaphezu kwesigamu sabantu emhlabeni futhi sicishe sibe ngamaphesenti angama-30 esamba saso. umkhiqizo wasekhaya (GDP).
Umbiko owethulwe namuhla eBeijing yi-UNEP kanye nabalingani bayo balinganisela ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza ngomuntu ngamunye esifundeni, okubandakanya izinto zokwakha kanye namafutha, kufanele kube ngaphansi ngamaphesenti angama-80 kunanamuhla uma kuzozuzwa intuthuko esimeme.
Ukukhula kwalesi sifunda kufike ngezindleko ezinkulu, ngokusho “Ukusebenza Kahle Kwezinsizakusebenza-Ezomnotho kanye Ne-Outlook yase-Asia nasePacific,” okuhlanganisa ukungcoliswa kwemvelo, ukukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa, ukulahlekelwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo, ukuwohloka kwezinhlelo zemvelo kanye nokuncipha kwemithombo ngokushesha.
Ingqikithi yezinto ezasetshenziswa ngo-2005 kuphela - okuhlanganisa i-biomass, amafutha emvelo, izinsimbi kanye nezinto zokwakha nezimboni - cishe amathani ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-32, kusho umbiko, owengeza ngokuthi isibalo singase sikhuphukele kumathani ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-80 ngo-2050 uma isenzo esihlukile. ayithathwa.
Umqondisi Omkhulu we-UNEP u-Achim Steiner waphawula ukuthi ukukhula komnotho okumangalisayo kuye kwaphakamisa abantu abangaphezu kwengxenye yebhiliyoni ebuphofini e-Asia nasePacific, kodwa ngemiphumela “ejulile” yezenhlalo nezemvelo.
“Lo mbiko omusha ugqamisa izinselele kodwa namathuba okuguqukela ekubeni nekhabhoni ephansi, umnotho oluhlaza osebenza kahle kakhulu ngezinsiza hhayi njengenye intuthuko esimeme kodwa njengendlela yokuwuqalisa,” kusho uMnu. Steiner.
Lo mbiko ufuna umzamo wesifunda sonkana wokwenza ukusebenza kahle okuthuthukisiwe osekelwa izinyathelo ezihlakaniphile zenqubomgomo yomphakathi, okuhlanganisa nezinqubomgomo zezimali ezifana nezintela zemvelo kanye nezinguquko zesabelomali.
“Okudingekile uguquko olusha lwezimboni oluhlinzeka ngokudla, izindlu, ukuhamba, amandla namanzi cishe ngamaphesenti angama-20 kuphela okusetshenziswa kwemithombo yomuntu ngamunye kanye nesisi esitholakala ezinhlelweni zamanje,” kusho.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The region currently accounts for more than half of the world's total resource use, according to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), which says this is due largely to the fact that it has over half the world's population and nearly 30 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP).
- Umbiko owethulwe namuhla eBeijing yi-UNEP kanye nabalingani bayo balinganisela ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezinsiza ngomuntu ngamunye esifundeni, okubandakanya izinto zokwakha kanye namafutha, kufanele kube ngaphansi ngamaphesenti angama-80 kunanamuhla uma kuzozuzwa intuthuko esimeme.
- A new United Nations report calls on countries in Asia and the Pacific to embark on a ‘green' industrial revolution that takes advantage of improvements in resource efficiency so that they can prosper in the 21st century.
