Kudingeka Ikhulu Elingenampi Ukusinda Ezinsongweni Zemvelo

Ukuzivikela yigama elivame ukuvusa izithombe zamasosha namathangi. Kepha njengoba izitha zesimanje nezesikhathi esizayo zishintsha zibe amafomu angakaze abonwe, kwenza cishe $2trln eyasetshenziswa emhlabeni jikelele ekuzivikeleni ngo-2019 empeleni ivikela abantu ekulimaleni? Impendulo ngokucacile ithi cha.

Ukuchithwa kwezimali kwezempi kulesi sikali kuwukwabiwa ngendlela engafanele kwezinsiza lapho ukusetshenziswa kohulumeni kumele kugxilwe khona. Ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, izifo eziwubhadane, ukulahleka kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nokungalingani okukhulayo konke kubeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwabantu emhlabeni wonke.

Ngemuva konyaka lapho ukusetshenziswa kwezimali kwendabuko kwakungenamandla ngokumelene nenhlekelele edalwe yi-COVID-19 emhlabeni - manje yisikhathi sokuqondisa kabusha lokho kusebenzisa ezindaweni ezisengozini yokuvikeleka kwabantu. Ukuqondisa kabusha okungu-10% ngonyaka kungaba isiqalo esihle.

The idatha yakamuva kahulumeni wase-UK ngosuku lokushicilela kukhombisa ukuthi bangaphezu kuka-119,000 abantu base-UK abashonile zingakapheli izinsuku ezingama-28 behlolwe ukuthi bane-COVID-19. Ukufa manje sekusondele cishe kabili 66,375 izakhamizi zaseBrithani wabulawa ngeMpi Yezwe Yesibili. Umjaho wokwakha imithi yokugoma ubonise ukuthi amakhono omphakathi wesayensi ocwaningo nentuthuko namandla okusebenza emboni angahlanganiswa ngokushesha ukuze asekele okuhle okufanayo, lapho esekelwa ukubambisana komhlaba wonke.

Isidingo esiphuthumayo soshintsho

Cishe eminyakeni engama-30 edlule sabiza umhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi ukuze sicabange ngamathuba nezinsongo ezalethwa ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Lokhu kuholele ekushicilelweni kwencwadi ethi, 'A World Divided: Militarism and Development after the Cold War', eyaba ikhishiwe kabusha ngenyanga edlule. Besifuna ukukhuthaza umhlaba ongahlukene kancane ongaphendula ezinseleleni zangempela zokuvikeleka komuntu, esikhundleni sokusabela kwezempi okungazenza zibe zimbi nakakhulu.

Umqondo wokuqondisa kabusha ukusetshenziswa kwezempi ukuze kubhekwane nalezi zinselele, okuthi uma ziyekwa kuzo, ziholele ezingxabanweni ezengeziwe, awumusha. Kodwa isikhathi sokuqala ukuqondisa kabusha okunjalo manje, futhi kuyaphuthuma. Uma ohulumeni bezofeza okuvunyelenwe yi-UN Izinhloso Zokuthuthukiswa Eziqhubekayo (SDGs) futhi, njengoba kusho uMqulu we-UN, funa ukuthula ngezindlela ezinokuthula, lolu shintsho ludinga ukuqala manje - nakuwo wonke amazwe.

Siyaqaphela ukuthi izingxabano phakathi kwamazwe ngeke ziphele ngobusuku obubodwa noma phakathi kwezizukulwane ezimbalwa. Kodwa ukusetshenziswa kwemali kumele kancane kancane kuqondiswe kude ezindleleni ezinodlame zokubhekana nazo. Umzamo ofanele kufanele udale amathuba emisebenzi emisha - kunokuntuleka kwemisebenzi okwengeziwe - ngale nqubo. Uma sehluleka kulokhu, khona-ke ingozi yezimpi ezibhubhisayo kuleli khulu leminyaka isalokhu iphezulu futhi iyoba olunye usongo ekulondekeni kwabantu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, njenge-UN Umbiko we-2017, 'Isimo Sokuvikeleka Kokudla Nokudla Okunomsoco', saphawula: “Ngenxa yokwanda ukushaqeka okuhlobene nesimo sezulu, izingxabano zikuthinta kakhulu ukulondeka kokudla futhi ziyimbangela yokwanda kokuntuleka kokudla kwamuva. Izingxabano ziyimbangela eyinhloko yezimo ezinzima zokudla kanye nendlala esanda kuqubuka kabusha, kuyilapho indlala nokungondleki kubi kakhulu lapho izingxabano zithatha isikhathi eside namandla ezikhungo ebuthaka.” Ukungqubuzana okunodlame nakho kuyimbangela enkulu yokufuduka kwabantu.

Ngonyaka odlule bekuwumkhosi weminyaka engama-75 kwasungulwa Inhlangano Yezokudla Nezolimo ye-UN. Futhi ngonyaka odlule, iWorld Food Programme yaklonyeliswa I-Nobel Peace Prize, hhayi kuphela “ngemizamo yayo yokulwa nendlala”, kodwa futhi “ngenxa yeqhaza layo ekwenzeni ngcono izimo zokuthula ezindaweni ezikhahlanyezwe izingxabano nokubamba amandla emizamweni yokuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kwendlala njengesikhali sempi nokungqubuzana. ”. Lesi simemezelo saphinde saphawula: “Ukuhlobana phakathi kwendlala nezingxabano kuyindilinga enonya: impi nezingxabano kungabangela ukuntula ukudla nendlala, njengoba nje indlala nokuntuleka kokudla kungase kubangele izingxabano ezicashile ukuba ziqubuke futhi kubangele ukusetshenziswa kobudlova. Asisoze sawufeza umgomo wokulamba ngaphandle uma siqeda impi nezingxabano.”

Njengoba i-COVID-19 ibhebhethekisa ukungalingani, abantu abaningi baba nokungavikeleki kokudla - emazweni ampofu nacebile ngokufanayo. Ngokusho kwe-UN Umbiko we-2020'The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World', cishe abantu abayizigidi ezingama-690 balamba ngo-2019 kanti i-COVID-19 ingacindezela abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-130 endlaleni engapheli. Lokho kusho ukuthi umuntu oyedwa kwabayisishiyagalolunye ulambile isikhathi esiningi.

Isikhwama sokugcina ukuthula, hhayi ukulwa

Iqembu locwaningo, Ceres2030, ilinganise ukuthi ukuze kufinyelelwe umgomo we-SDG wokulamba ngo-2030, kudingeka u-$33bn ngonyaka, kanti u-$14bn uvela kubanikeli kanti abanye abavela emazweni athintekile. Ukuqondisa kabusha kwaminyaka yonke okungu-10% kwezindleko zezempi kuzoba nomthelela omkhulu kule ndawo. Kungasiza futhi ekudambiseni izingxabano uma ngabe iqondiswe kabusha ekwandiseni isabelomali sokugcina ukuthula se-UN $ 6.58bn ngo-2020-2021.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungase kuqale umsebenzi wokutshala kabusha amabutho ahlomile ukuze abe amasosha kazwelonke nakwamanye amazwe okulungiselela izinhlekelele kanye nokuhlenga. Amakhono abo okusebenza asevele asetshenziswa ekusabalaliseni imigomo e-UK. Ngemva kokuba sebeqeqeshelwe kabusha amakhono okusebenzisana, babekwazi ukwabelana nabanye ngezizwe ngalolu lwazi, okungasiza ekudambiseni ukungezwani.

Manje sekunecala elimangalisayo lama- think tanks, izifundiswa, ohulumeni kanye nezinhlangano zomphakathi ngokujwayelekile ukuthi zibheke ukuthi hlobo luni lwezimo ezizosisiza ukuthi sifinyelele ku-2050 no-2100 ngaphandle kwezimpi ezibhubhisayo. Izinselelo zomhlaba wonke ezilethwa ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ukulahleka kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo, ukukhula kokungalingani kanye nezinye izifo eziwubhadane zanele ngaphandle kodlame lwempi ukubasiza ukuqhubeka.

Ukusetshenziswa kwezimali kwangempela kwezokuvikela kuqinisekisa ukuthi wonke umuntu angadla kahle, akekho ophila ngobumpofu, futhi imiphumela ephazamisayo yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu nokulahlekelwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo iyamiswa. Kudingeka sifunde ukwakha nokugcina ukubambisana nabanye kuyilapho sibhekana nokungezwani phakathi kwezizwe ngokwezombangazwe.

Kungenzeka yini? Yebo, kodwa kudinga ushintsho oluyisisekelo endleleni ukuphepha okuqondwa ngayo njengamanje.
