Ogwini lwamanzi: ukuphakama kwezinga lolwandle, ukuvikeleka kwamanzi kanye nendlela yokuphila ePacific

Background

Ukwenyuka kwezinga lolwandle kubeka engcupheni enkulu emazweni asathuthuka asePacific Small Island.

Ukwanda kwezilwandle kubangela ukungena kwamanzi anosawoti emalensini nasemithombo yamanzi ahlanzekile, okubeka engcupheni amanzi okuphuza aphephile futhi kusongela ukuhlanzeka okuyisisekelo kanye nempilo yomphakathi. Ukwanda kwezinga lolwandle kunciphisa nomhlaba olimekayo, kuphazamisa ukukhiqizwa kwezitshalo okuyisisekelo kanye nemithombo yokudla yasogwini esekela ukudla kwasendaweni kanye nomnotho. Cishe ama-70% emindeni yaseziqhingini zasePacific ithembele kwezolimo ukuze iziphilise, kanti imiphakathi eminingi yasogwini nayo ithembele ekudobeni ngamatshe angaphansi komhlaba njengengxenye yesakhiwo sayo sokuphepha kokudla.

Lokhu kuhlanganiswa kokugcwala kwamanzi ogwini, ukungcoliswa kwamanzi anosawoti, isimo sezulu esibi kanye nemvelo eyonakele kakade kuthinta:

• Ukufinyelela emanzini – ukungena kwamanzi anosawoti kanye nezikhukhula kubeka imithombo yamanzi ahlanzekile engozini;
• Ukuvikeleka kokudla – ukuswakama kwenhlabathi kanye nokulahlekelwa umhlaba okhiqizayo kunciphisa isivuno sezitshalo kanye nokukhiqizwa kokudla kwendawo;
• Impilo kanye nokuhlanzeka – amanzi angcolile kanye nezinhlelo zokuhlanzeka ezicindezelekile kwandisa ingozi yezifo;
• Ukumelana nezingozi zemvelo.

Intuthuko ku-SDG 6 (Amanzi Ahlanzekile Nokuhlanzeka) ayilungile ezimweni eziningi zasePacific, futhi ukwanda kolwandle kukhulisa ukungavikeleki kwamanzi kanye nobuthakathaka bokuziphilisa obuhambisana nawo kulo lonke isifunda.

Isayensi, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha (STI) – okuhlanganisa nokuqapha izinga lolwandle, ukwenziwa kwemodeli ogwini kanye namanzi angaphansi komhlaba, ingqalasizinda yamanzi eqinile, ukuvikelwa okusekelwe emvelweni kanye nokuzivumelanisa nezimo okuholwa ngumphakathi – kubalulekile ukusekela izinqumo ezisekelwe ebufakazini kanye nesenzo esifanele endaweni. Kodwa-ke, ukuhumusha ulwazi lwesayensi lube yinqubomgomo kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali kusalokhu kungalingani kulo lonke elasePacific.

Kungani lokhu kwenzeka, kungani manje: Njengoba imiphumela yesimo sezulu ishesha futhi izinqubo zomhlaba wonke zilungiselela izingxoxo ngezimali zesimo sezulu, ukulahlekelwa kanye nomonakalo, kanye nentuthuko esimeme, i-UN STI Forum inikeza ipulatifomu efike ngesikhathi yokuphakamisa imibono yasePacific nokuvumelanisa isayensi nenqubomgomo kanye nezezimali ukusekela ukuqina.

Izinhloso

• Yethula futhi uthuthukise ukuqonda kwesayensi kwakamuva mayelana nokwenyuka kwezinga lolwandle kanye nemiphumela yako ekuphepheni kwamanzi kanye nendlela yokuphila ePacific
• Gcizelela ukuxhumana okuqondile phakathi kokuphakama kolwandle, ukutholakala kwamanzi ahlanzekile (SDG 6), ukuvikeleka kokudla kanye nempilo/ukuhlanzeka
• Bonisa amathuluzi e-STI asungula izinto ezintsha, aqondiswa yiPacific kanye nezixazululo eziqhutshwa endaweni ukuze kulungiswe, kuqashwe futhi kwenziwe izinqumo
• Qinisa ingxoxo phakathi kwabenzi bezinqubomgomo, ososayensi, abalingani bentuthuko kanye nabaxoxisana ngesimo sezulu
• Khomba amathuba okubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe, ukutshalwa kwezimali kanye nokuhambisana kwenqubomgomo

I-Ajenda kanye izikhulumi

13:15 – 13:30 | Amazwi okuvula

Abameleli abaphezulu abavela kwi-Permanent Missions yase-Australia naseFiji, kanye Robert Dijkgraaf (uMongameli okhethiwe, uMkhandlu Wezesayensi Yomhlaba Wonke), uzovula iseshini, ebeka indawo yengxoxo futhi egcizelela ukuphuthuma kokuphakama kwezinga lolwandle emazweni Asathuthuka aseziqhingini ezincane zasePacific.

13:30 – 14:00 | Izethulo eziyinhloko zochwepheshe

Imibono emithathu yochwepheshe izokwakha ingxoxo:

• Awnesh Singh (I-University of the South Pacific) - Ukuqonda kwesayensi ngokukhuphuka kwezinga lolwandle kanye nemiphumela yako ezinhlelweni zamanzi kanye nendlela yokuphila
• U-Arunima Sircar (Ukuhlaziywa Kwesimo Sezulu; IPCC) – Ukuvala igebe phakathi kwezibopho zesimo sezulu kanye nokuqaliswa kwe-SIDS
• UChristina Newport (Akairo Consulting; University of Auckland) – Ukucabanga kabusha ngokuzivumelanisa nezimo, ukuhamba, kanye nokulahlekelwa kanye nomonakalo ezimweni zasePacific

14:00 – 14:25 | Ingxoxo yephaneli

Ingxoxo ehleliwe ehlanganisa izikhulumi kanye nosihlalo abasebenzisana nabo ukuze kuhlolwe izinselelo namathuba abalulekile, okuhlanganisa ukuxhumana phakathi kokuphakama kolwandle, ukuphepha kwamanzi, kanye nendlela yokuphila, kanye nezindlela zokuqinisa ukuhambisana kwesayensi, inqubomgomo kanye nezezimali.

14:25 – 14:45 | Imibuzo Nezimpendulo Zezilaleli kanye namazwi okuvala

Ukuxoxisana okusebenzisanayo nabahlanganyeli, kulandelwe ukuzindla kokuvala okuvela kosihlalo ababambisene nabo.

Ukwaziswa okuwusizo

• Ababungazi abakanye: UMkhandlu Wezesayensi Wamazwe Ngamazwe kanye ne-ISC Regional Focal Point ye-Asia nePacific, Umkhankaso Ohlala Njalo wase-Australia kwi-UN, Umkhankaso Ohlala Njalo waseFiji kwi-UN.
