Esinyathelweni esibalulekile sokuzuza ukungathathi hlangothi kwesimo sezulu ngo-2050, i-European Commission ihalalisele isivumelwano sesikhashana ohlakeni lokuqala lwesitifiketi olubanzi lwe-EU lokususwa kwekhabhoni. Lesi sinqumo esiyingqopha-mlando, esifinyelelwe phakathi kwePhalamende LaseYurophu kanye NoMkhandlu, sethula uhlaka lokuzithandela oluhloselwe ukuqinisekisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni yekhwalithi ephezulu, okuhlanganisa kokubili ubuchwepheshe obusha kanye nezinqubo zokulima i-carbon.
Uhlaka olusha selulungele ukudlala indima ebalulekile esimweni sezulu esinentshisekelo ye-EU, imvelo, kanye izinhloso zokungangcolisi lutho, ukuqinisekisa ukuba sobala kanye nokwethemba ezinhlelweni zokususa ikhabhoni ngesikhathi esifanayo kuvula izindlela ezintsha zebhizinisi nokusungula izinto ezintsha. "Imizamo yethu yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa izoncika kakhulu kubuchwepheshe nasekwakhiweni okusha esikhathini esizayo, nasekusebenziseni kahle kakhulu izisinki ze-carbon yemvelo," kusho uMaroš Šefčovič, iPhini Likamongameli Ophethe we-European Green Deal, egcizelela ukubaluleka kokuthuthukisa. isitifiketi esiqinile sobuchwepheshe bokususwa kwekhabhoni kanye nezinqubo zokulima.
Ngaphansi kwesivumelwano sesikhashana, imithetho yesitifiketi izohlanganisa imisebenzi eminingi, okuhlanganisa nemizamo yokulima i-carbon efana nokubuyisela ihlathi, ukongiwa kwenhlabathi, nezindlela ezintsha zokulima, kanye nezinqubo zokususa ikhabhoni yezimboni ezifana ne-bioenergy enokubanjwa kanye nokugcinwa kwekhabhoni. Ukwengeza, uhlaka luzoqinisekisa ukuboshwa kwekhabhoni emikhiqizweni nasezintweni zokwakha ezihlala isikhathi eside, lukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwezinto zokwakha esimeme kanye nezinqubo.
Isici esibalulekile somthethonqubo okuvunyelenwe ngawo ukugcizelela kwawo ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kulinganiswa ngokunembile, kugcinwe okungenani iminyaka engama-35, futhi kufake isandla emigomeni yokusimama okubanzi, okuhlanganisa nokuthuthukisa ukuhlukahluka kwemvelo. Ukubhaliswa kwe-EU kuzosungulwa ukuze kugqugquzele ukubonakala obala mayelana nokususwa kwekhabhoni eqinisekisiwe, okulindelwe ukuqaliswa kungakapheli iminyaka emine.
UKhomishani Wezinyathelo Zesimo Sezulu, u-Wopke Hoekstra, ugcizelele amandla ohlaka okuvula amathuba ezomnotho emikhakheni eyahlukene, wathi, “Ukususwa kwekhabhoni kanye nokulima ngekhabhoni kuzoba yingxenye ebalulekile yemizamo yethu yokufinyelela ukungathathi hlangothi kwesimo sezulu ngo-2050.” Ugcizelele indima yohlaka ekukhuthazeni ikusasa elisimeme lapho ukusungula izinto ezintsha kuhlangabezana nesibopho sezemvelo.
Lo mthethonqubo uhlose futhi ukugqugquzela ukwesekwa kwezezimali kobuchwepheshe bokususwa kwekhabhoni ngokusebenzisa amamodeli ezezimali amasha kanye nokwesekwa kwemboni yomphakathi, kuqashelwa izinzuzo zezohwebo nezemvelo zokususwa kwekhabhoni okuqinisekisiwe. Lesi sinyathelo sihambisana nezinjongo ezibanzi zesimo sezulu kanye nokusimama kwe-EU, okuhlanganisa i-European Green Deal kanye ne-European Climate Law, egunyaza i-EU ukuthi ifinyelele ukulingana phakathi kokukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa nokususwa ngo-2050.
Njengoba iPhalamende LaseYurophu kanye NoMkhandlu uhlele ukugunyaza ngokusemthethweni isivumelwano, i-EU ithatha isinyathelo esiwujuqu ekuqaliseni isu eliphelele lemijikelezo yekhabhoni esimeme kanye nokungathathi hlangothi kwesimo sezulu. Lolu hlaka alusekeli kuphela izinhloso zesimo sezulu zesikhathi eside ze-EU kodwa futhi luvula indlela yendawo yebhizinisi esimeme nentsha ezinikele ekususweni kwekhabhoni yekhwalithi ephezulu.
