Uhlaka Lonyaka Wamazwe Ngamazwe We-Polar 2007-2008

Isifinyezo

Izifunda ezimhlophe ziyizingxenye ezibalulekile zesistimu yoMhlaba. Njengoba ukushisa kuncipha kwesimiso sezulu bobabili bayasabela
ukuze futhi uqhube izinguquko kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Ngaphakathi kwazo kukhona imingcele yolwazi kanye nezindawo ezivelele zesayensi.
Kodwa ngenxa yokuba kude kanye nemvelo enokhahlo, izigxobo zihlala zingafundwa ngokwanele. Ngokuthuthuka kwakamuva kwezobuchwepheshe
ukuhlinzeka ngamathuba amasha esayensi, kanye nesidingo somuntu solwazi lwezemvelo nokuqonda sikhula njalo, i
isikhathi sesilungile sohlelo oludidiyelwe lwamazwe ngamazwe lokuzuza inqubekelaphambili enkulu kusayensi yezwe.
Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, i-International Council for Science (ICSU) yanquma ukuhola ekuhleleni uNyaka Omhlaba Wonke Womhlaba (IPY)
ngo-2007-2008. Lokhu bakwenze ngokusungula i-IPY Planning Group (PG) enecala lokuthuthukisa uhlelo lwesayensi lwe-IPY 2007-2008 kanye
isu lokusebenzisa.
Lo mbiko uwumphumela womsebenzi we-PG. Isekelwe embonweni ovela kubantu ngabanye, abavela kohulumeni abangaphezu kuka-40 nabangekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni
izinhlangano ezigunyaze noma ezizwakalise ukweseka i-IPY 2007-2008, kanye namaKomiti Kazwelonke angu-32 e-IPY
noma Amaphuzu Kazwelonke Okuxhumana asungulwe kuze kube manje. Kuphinde kube yimiphumela yezingxoxo nezinkulumo mpikiswano ezingaphezu kweshumi nambili zamazwe ngamazwe
imihlangano ehlanganisa iqoqo lezifundo zesayensi, kusukela ochungechungeni lwemihlangano “yedolobha”, kanye nezinkundla ezimbili zokuxoxisana ezisingathwe
yi-ICSU futhi ihanjelwe ngabamele Amakomidi Kazwelonke e-IPY kanye nezinhlangano ezihlukahlukene ezinentshisekelo ye-polar.
Sekukonke, “imibono” engaphezu kuka-490 yokuqukethwe kwesayensi ye-IPY 2007-2008 yamukelwe. Lezi zenziwe zatholakala ukuze
umphakathi emhlabeni wonke ngokusebenzisa iwebhusayithi ye-IPY 2007-2008 (www.ipy.org). Isayithi okwamanje lithola isilinganiso samahithi angu-2000 ngakunye
usuku. Angaphezu kuka-12,000 amakhophi ezinguqulo zangaphambili zale dokhumenti alandiwe, kanye namakhophi angaphezu kuka-3000 e-PowerPoint.
isethulo esichaza ukuhlelwa kwe-IPY 2007-2008.
Umqondo oyisisekelo we-IPY 2007-2008 uwukuqhuma okujulile kokudidiyelwa kwamazwe ngamazwe, imikhakha eyahlukene, yesayensi.
ucwaningo kanye nokubhekwa kugxile ezifundeni ezipholile eMhlabeni. Isikhathi esisemthethweni sokubuka i-IPY sizosukela mhla lu-1 kuNdasa wezi-2007
kuze kube umhla zi-1 kuNdasa 2009. Ukugxila okuyinhloko kwezwe kuzoba i-Latitudes ephezulu yomhlaba, kodwa izifundo kunoma yisiphi isifunda esihlobene
ukuqonda kwezinqubo ze-polar noma izenzakalo kuzokhuthazwa.
I-IPY ihlose ukuxhaphaza izinsiza zobuhlakani kanye nempahla yesayensi yezizwe zomhlaba wonke ukuze zenze intuthuko enkulu kwezemvelo.
ulwazi nokuqonda, kuyilapho kushiya ifa lezinhlelo zokuqaphela ezintsha noma ezithuthukisiwe, izinsiza nengqalasizinda.
Ngokungangabazeki amafa abaluleke kakhulu kuzoba isizukulwane esisha sososayensi nonjiniyela, kanye nezinga eliyingqayizivele
intshisekelo nokubamba iqhaza okuvela kubahlali basezindaweni ezishisayo, izingane zesikole, umphakathi jikelele, kanye nabathatha izinqumo, emhlabeni wonke.
