I-World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ikhiphe umbiko ngomhlaka-11, ithi ukuhlinzekwa kukagesi emhlabeni wonke ovela emithonjeni yamandla ahlanzekile kumele kuphindwe kabili eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili ezayo ukuze kuncishiswe ngempumelelo ukufudumala komhlaba; ngaphandle kwalokho, ukuvikeleka kwamandla emhlabeni wonke kungase kube sengozini ngenxa yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ukwanda kwesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu, nokuntuleka kwamanzi, phakathi kwezinye izici.
Ngokombiko we-WMO's State of Climate Services 2022: Energy, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kubeka engcupheni ukuvikeleka kwamandla emhlabeni jikelele njengoba izimo zesimo sezulu esibi, phakathi kwezinye, ziba njalo futhi zishube emhlabeni jikelele, ezithinta ngqo ukunikezwa kukaphethiloli, ukukhiqizwa kwamandla, kanye nokuqina kwamandla amanje. kanye nengqalasizinda yezamandla yesikhathi esizayo.
UNobhala-Jikelele we-WMO, uPetri Taras uthe umkhakha wezamandla ungumthombo wesisi esingcolisa umoya emhlabeni futhi ngokuphindaphinda kabili ukuphakelwa kukagesi okhipha umoya omncane kule minyaka eyisishiyagalombili ezayo lapho kuzofinyelelwa khona imigomo efanele yokunciphisa intuthu ephumayo. , ibiza ukusetshenziswa okuthuthukisiwe kwamandla elanga, umoya namandla aphehlwa ngamanzi, phakathi kokunye.
Umbiko uphawula ukuthi ukuphakelwa kwamandla emhlabeni jikelele kuncike kakhulu emithonjeni yamanzi. U-87% kagesi womhlaba wonke ovela ezinhlelweni zikagesi ezishisayo, enuzi kanye namanzi ngo-2020 uncike ngokuqondile emanzini atholakalayo. Ngaso leso sikhathi ama-33% ezindawo zokuphehla amandla ashisayo ezithembele emanzini ahlanzekile ukuze apholise zitholakala ezindaweni ezinokuntuleka kwamanzi amaningi, njengoba kunjalo nangama-15% ezindawo zokuphehla amandla enuzi, kanti leli phesenti kulindeleke ukuthi lenyuke liye ku-25% ezikhungweni zokuphehla amandla enuzi. eminyakeni engu-20 ezayo. Ukushintshela kumandla avuselelekayo kuzosiza ekwehliseni ingcindezi ekhulayo yomhlaba wonke emithonjeni yamanzi, njengoba amandla elanga nawomoya esebenzisa amanzi amancane kakhulu kunezinsalela ezivamile neziphehla amandla enuzi.
Ikakhulukazi, umbiko uncoma ukuthi amandla avuselelekayo kufanele athuthukiswe ngamandla e-Afrika. I-Afrika ibhekene nemithelela emibi njengesomiso esisabalele ngenxa yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, futhi ukwehla kwezindleko zobuchwepheshe bamandla ahlanzekile kunikeza ithemba elisha ngekusasa le-Afrika. Kule minyaka engama-20 edlule, u-2% kuphela wokutshalwa kwezimali kwamandla ahlanzekile abe se-Afrika. I-Afrika inamaphesenti angama-60 emithombo yelanga ehamba phambili emhlabeni, kodwa i-1% kuphela yomthamo we-PV ofakiwe emhlabeni. Kunethuba lokuthi amazwe ase-Afrika esikhathini esizayo abambe amandla angakaze asetshenziswe futhi abe abadlali abakhulu emakethe.
