I-International Air Transport Association (IATA) yama-75 yeNtlanganiso kaWonke-wonke yoNyaka (AGM) isiphumeze ngamandla isigqibo esimemelela oorhulumente ukuba baqhubeke nomsebenzi obalulekileyo ukuze kuphunyezwe ngokupheleleyo iSikimu seCarbon Offsetting kunye neSkimu sokuNcitshiswa sokuPhathwa kweHlabathi (i-CORSIA) ekuvunyelwene ngayo ngoMbutho weZizwe eziManyeneyo wokuPhapha ngeenqwelomoya. (ICAO).
I-CORSIA sisixhobo sokuqala samaxabiso ekhabhoni kwihlabathi jikelele kwicandelo loshishino. Iya kukhupha ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2 kwi-aviation yamazwe ngamazwe kumanqanaba e-2020 (ukukhula kwe-carbon-neutral, okanye i-CNG).
“Iinqwelomoya ziyazi ukuba izicwangciso ezisebenzayo zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo zibalulekile ekufumaneni ilayisenisi yazo ukuze ihlangabezane neemfuno ezikhulayo zokuqhagamshelwa emoyeni. Enyanisweni olona hlumo lunamandla lukwilizwe elisaphuhlayo, elibonakalisa igalelo leenqwelomoya kwi-15 ye-17 yeeNjongo zoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo ze-UN. I-CORSIA ibeka inqanaba ngokukhupha izinto ezikhutshwayo kumanqanaba angama-2020. Phakathi kuka-2020 no-2035 iya kunciphisa ngaphezulu kwe-2.5 yeebhiliyoni zeetoni ze-CO2 kwaye ivelise ubuncinci i-40 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwimali yamanyathelo okunciphisa i-carbon, "utshilo u-Alexandre de Juniac, uMlawuli Jikelele we-IATA kunye ne-CEO.
I-AGM ibongoze amazwe angamalungu e-ICAO ukuba:
Sebenzisa i-CORSIA njengendlela enye esekwe kwimarike yehlabathi yokunciphisa utshintsho lwemozulu kwaye uthintele ukuphumeza ukuphinda-phindana okanye ukuphinda-phinda amanyathelo afana neerhafu zekhabhoni ezisecaleni.
Cinga ngokuvolontiya ukuthatha inxaxheba kwi-CORSIA kwinqanaba lokulinga.
Lungelelanisa imimiselo yasekhaya ekubekweni kweliso, ukunika ingxelo kunye nokuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo kunye nemigangatho ekuvunyelwene ngayo ngamazwe ngamazwe yeCORSIA, ukuthintela ukugqwethwa kwemarike ngeemfuno ezininzi.
“ICORSIA yeyona nto ibalaseleyo. Yindlela ebambekayo, echazwe kakuhle eya phambili yokuphelisa izinto ezikhutshwayo kwihlabathi liphela kuphapho lwamazwe ngamazwe. Amazwe akufuneki adibanise ngokuphunyezwa okungahambelaniyo okanye ngokongeza i-patchwork yerhafu phezu kwayo. Umsebenzi wayo obalulekileyo kukunqanda ukukhula kwezinto ezikhutshwayo kwinqwelomoya, utshilo u-de Juniac.
I-AGM iphinde yajonga ngaphaya kwe-CORSIA kwisibophelelo esilandelayo kwisicwangciso-qhinga sokusebenza kwemozulu kushishino-ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo ukuya kwisiqingatha sonyaka ka-2005 ngo-2050. Amafutha eenqwelomoya.
“I-CORSIA iyakunqanda ukukhula kwekhabhoni yethu. Oko kubaluleke kakhulu, kodwa injongo yethu elandelayo ibaluleke kakhulu-ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-net ukuya kwisiqingatha samanqanaba ka-2005 ngo-2050. Iinqwelomoya zityala imali kwimilinganiselo esebenzayo yokuphumeza oko-kuquka inqwelomoya entsha, iinkqubo ezingcono kunye nokwenza izibophelelo zokuthenga kwangaphambili kumbane ozinzileyo wenqwelomoya. Siza kuqhubeka ukwenza inkqubela, kodwa sifuna ukuba oorhulumente balungelelaniswe kwizenzo zabo zomgaqo-nkqubo. Kanye kunye nokuphumeza i-CORSIA, sifuna ukuba balungise ukungasebenzi kakuhle kulawulo lwezithuthi zomoya kunye nokudala indawo yokuthengisa amafutha e-aviation eqhubekayo, "kusho u-De Juniac.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The International Air Transport Association (IATA) 75th Annual General Meeting (AGM) overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on governments to continue important work for full implementation of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) agreed through the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
- The resolution urged airlines to implement all available fuel efficiency measures and to participate fully in a long-term switchover to sustainable aviation fuels.
- In fact the strongest demand growth is in the developing world, reflective of aviation's contribution to 15 of 17 of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
