Imibono evezwe kulesi sihloko ngeyombhali futhi ayimeli nganoma iyiphi indlela isikhundla sokuhlela se-Euronews.
Isu le-European Union lokuguqula iYurophu ibe izwekazi lokuqala elingathathi hlangothi ngo-2050 lizohluleka.
Kodwa-ke, lokho kungavinjelwa uma yenqaba ukushiswa luhlaza kwezinhlelo zokuqeda ikhabhoni kanye nenqubomgomo yokushintsha kanye nokugeleza kwezimali kubheke ezisombululweni zangempela zesimo sezulu ezigxile ekwehliseni ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni ngokuhambisana nesayensi.
I-United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ethweswe icala lokuthuthukisa ulwazi lwesayensi mayelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu se-anthropogenic, isanda kukhipha umbiko wayo wesithupha wokuhlanganisa, okhombisa ukuthi ayisekho enye indawo yokulungiswa.
Kubonisa ukuthi ngokuqhubeka nokugxila kwenqubomgomo yesiteshi kanye nokugeleza kwezimali emizamweni yokunciphisa efana nokususwa kwekhabhoni nezinye izixazululo ezingamanga – futhi kude nokuzivumelanisa nezimo nezisombululo zangempela – sibambezela umgomo osheshayo wokunciphisa ukungcola ngo-2030, futhi sizosusa u-1.5.
Umyalelo waseBrussels ulungele ukwenza umonakalo omkhulu kunokuhle
I-EU kulindeleke ukuthi ishicilele i-Green Claims Directive Proposal yayo ngesonto elizayo ngaphambi kokuthi iye ePhalamende LaseYurophu kanye nase-European Council njengengxenye yenqubo yomthetho evamile, futhi kulindeleke ukuthi iphasiswe emthethweni ngaphambi kokuphela kuka-2024.
Lo myalelo uyingxenye yohlelo lokusebenza olubanzi lwe-2020 Circular Economy ngaphansi kwe-EU Green Deal okuhloswe ngayo ukuletha izindinganiso ze-EU yonkana ukuze kuvinjelwe izinkampani ekwenzeni izimangalo zemvelo ezingamanga nezidukisayo mayelana nemikhiqizo namasevisi azo.
Ihloselwe futhi ukusiza abathengi ukuthi benze izinqumo ezinolwazi futhi baqinisekise inkundla yokudlala yamabhizinisi lapho bemaketha ukuluhlaza kwabo.
Lo myalelo ohlongozwayo uhlanganisa izindlela ezizimele zokwengamela ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zonke “izimangalo eziluhlaza” ziyafakazelwa futhi udinga amazwe angamalungu ukuthi aqinisekise ukuthotshelwa kwemihlahlandlela emisha ngamandla amasha eziphathimandla ezinekhono kanye nokusungula izinqubo zokukhononda.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo futhi njengengxenye ye-Green Deal ebanzi, i-European Commission futhi icubungula isiphakamiso se-Carbon Removals Certification Framework (CRCF) sokulawula izinhlelo ze-offset, ezingaba yingxenye yokuhlolwa kwanoma yiziphi izimangalo eziluhlaza.
Amakhulu ezinhlangano akhulume ngokumelene nalesi sinyathelo, ephikisana ngokuthi ukuthembela ngokweqile ekususweni ukuze kuncishiswe ukungcola okuqhubekayo kubeka engcupheni ukwehliswa kwensalela kokuphumayo.
Eqinisweni, kwandisa amathuba okudlula amagoli okushisa kanye namathuba okweqa amaphuzu kanye nemithelela yemvelo engenakuhlehliswa.
Umonakalo awulungiswa ngokwenza okulungile kwenye indawo
Kalula nje, i-carbon offsets ngeke isisindise. Ziye zafakazelwa njengezehluleki futhi ziyisithiyo ezisombululweni zangempela zesimo sezulu.
Kunzima ukubona ukuthi bangaphumelela kanjani ukuhlolwa kwangempela kwanoma yiziphi izimangalo eziphambene nalokho.
Izinkampani zezitifiketi zekhabhoni ezifana ne-Plan Vivo ne-Verra azikwazi ukubhekwa njengeziphathimandla ezizimele zokufaneleka kwalezi zinhlelo.
Uphenyo oluningi kanye namaphrojekthi ocwaningo abonise ukuthi iningi lezinhlelo ze-carbon offset, eziningi zazo ezigxile ekutshaleni noma ekulondolozeni izihlahla ukuze kulinganiswe izinqubo zebhizinisi ezilimaza imvelo, azisebenzi.
Kodwa imakethe ye-offsets yokuzithandela iyimboni yezigidigidi zama-euro u-Verra, Plan Vivo nabanye abazokwenza noma yini ukuze bayivikele, futhi manje sebebheke ekwenzeni imali ngezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo.
I-Carbon offsetting isekelwe ekucabangeleni okungalungile kokulingana – ukuthi kungenzeka ukuhwebelana ngemikhuba elimazayo endaweni eyodwa ngezenzo ezinhle kwenye.
Kodwa lokho akulingani nomhlaba wemvelo, lapho zonke izimiso zemvelo nezindawo zokuhlala zihlukile futhi azishintsheki.
I-Carbon offsetting igxilisa ukungalingani
Ukuhweba ngekhabhoni kanye nokuncishiswa kwegesi nakho kuye kwafakazela njengezindlela ezingasebenzi zokunciphisa ukungcola kanye nokumisa ukukhiqizwa kwezinto ezimbiwa phansi.
Kusho ukuthi ukukhishwa kwezinto ezikhishwayo kusakhiqizwa – ngokuvamile yizinkampani eziseGlobal North – akuncishisiwe, futhi kuncishiswe kwenye indawo – ngokuvamile eGlobal South – okuvumela izinkampani ukuthi ziqhubeke nemikhuba yazo engafanele.
Le miklamo ivame ukuba nesibopho sokuhlukumeza amalungelo abantu, ukulimala kwemvelo kanye nezingxabano zomhlaba futhi ibe nemithelela ehlukene ngokobulili.
Ngokwemvelo bavuna labo abanamandla kwezomnotho futhi bavame ukugxilisa ukungalingani okubhekene namaqembu abukelwa phansi, okuhlanganisa nabesifazane kukho konke ukuhlukahluka kwabo kanye Nabantu Bomdabu.
Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi noma nini lapho amahlathi ekhanga kakhulu ngokwezentengiselwano, isibonelo, ngokusebenzisa izimakethe ze-carbon offsets zehlathi namasimu, kube nokuthambekela kokuhlala kwamahlathi kanye namalungelo okufinyelela – ezimeni ezingavamile lapho amalungelo e-tenure ekhona – ukusuka kwabesifazane ukuya kwabesilisa.
IBrussels kufanele ilalele izizathu ezisekelwa ubufakazi
Ngaphandle kweqiniso lokuthi ukususwa kwekhabhoni akuyona impendulo yokuguquka kwesimo sezulu, le mibuzo eminye ebalulekile mayelana namalungelo abantu, ubulungiswa, ukulingana, kanye nemithelela yendawo yezomnotho, ezempilo, kanye nenhlalo yale phrojekthi idinga ukubhekisiswa.
Kanjalo, kufanele zifakwe ku-EU Green Claims Directive kanye nezinye izinqubomgomo ze-EU mayelana nokunciphisa nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu.
I-Europe inomthwalo wemfanelo womlando wokusekela inguquko efanelekile ye-Global South kanye nokwehlisa ngokushesha ukukhishwa kwegesi ku-Real Zero.
Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi i-EU ilalele ukunyakaza kwesayensi, abesifazane, kanye nobulungiswa besimo sezulu kanye nemiphakathi ephambili.
I-Europe kumele ifulathele izixazululo ezingamanga futhi igxile emsebenzini wangempela wokumisa ukungcola kanye nokulondoloza nokubuyisela amahlathi nezinye izinto eziphilayo ezibalulekile.

Kwa-Euronews, sikholelwa ukuthi yonke imibono ibalulekile. Xhumana nathi ku view@euronews.com ukuthumela izethulo noma izethulo futhi ube yingxenye yengxoxo.
