ULaura Meller ovela kwiphulo leGreenpeace elithi "Khusela iiLwandle" eNew York[3]:
“Iilwandle zixhasa zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni, kodwa ukubawa kwamazwe ambalwa kuthetha ukuba lo mjikelo weentetho zesivumelwano se-UN ngolwandle ngoku uphelile. I-High Ambition Coalition yasilela ngokupheleleyo. Kufuneka babe nguManyano lwe-No Ambition. Bathe phithi kukucinga ngekamva labo baza bajongela phantsi nayiphi na enye inkqubela eyenziwa kwezi ntetho. Ukuba abaphathiswa ababizi oogxa babo ngokukhawuleza namhlanje kwaye bafikelele kwisivumelwano, le nkqubo yesivumelwano iya kusilela.'
“Ngaphantsi kweenyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo bendiseLisbon kwiNkomfa yoLwandlekazi yeZizwe eziManyeneyo ndimamele izithembiso ezivela kwezi nkokeli zokuba ziya kuthi thaca isivumelwano esomeleleyo solwandle lwehlabathi kulo nyaka. Ngoku siseNew York kwaye izikhokelo azifumaneki ndawo. Bazaphula izithembiso zabo.”
“Sibuhlungu kwaye sinomsindo. Iibhiliyoni zabantu zixhomekeke kulwandlekazi olusempilweni, yaye iinkokeli zehlabathi ziye zasilela kuzo zonke. Ngoku kubonakala kungenakwenzeka ukukhusela i-30% yeelwandle zehlabathi. Izazinzulu zithi obu bubuncinane obufunekayo ukukhusela iilwandle, kwaye ukusilela kwezi ngxoxo kuya kusongela ubomi kunye nokhuseleko lokutya lwezigidi ngezigidi. Siphoxekile ngakumbi.”
Ukungabikho kokuzibophelela okuphakamileyo kwezopolitiko kwezi ngxoxo kubatyhafise kwasekuqaleni, kodwa kwiintsuku zamva nje kuye kwacaca ukuba ukwala kweHigh Ambition Coalition kunye namanye amazwe ukuxhasa izibophelelo zemali, nokuba kuncinci kangakanani na, sele kuza kuphela. ukuba akukho sivumelwano apha. La mazwe aquka iKhanada neUnited States.
UNobhala-Jikelele weZizwe eziManyeneyo u-Antonio Gutierrez walumkisa kwiNkomfa ye-UNO yoLwandle lwaseLisbon ngoJuni ukuba "ukuzingca" kwamanye amazwe kwakuphazamisa inkqubela yezi ngxoxo. Kwakuloo nkomfa, amazwe enza isibhambathiso kwelona nqanaba liphezulu lezopolitiko ukuba asayine isivumelwano esinamandla. Abakhange bazifezekise iimbopheleleko zabo.
Ukuba akukho sivumelwano kuvunyelwene ngaso ngo-2022, ukuhanjiswa kwe-30×30, ukukhusela i-30% yeelwandle zehlabathi ngo-2030, kuya kuba yinto engenakwenzeka.
Iintsuku ezimbini ezipheleleyo zothethathethwano zishiyekile. Ngeentetho ezigwetyelwe ukungaphumeleli, amazwe kufuneka enze ngoku, ebonisa ukuguquguquka kunye nokufumana ukulungelelaniswa ukuza nesicatshulwa esiqinileyo somnqophiso ngomso. Abaphathiswa kufuneka kwakhona babize oogxa babo ukuze bathethathethane ngesivumelwano okanye iingxoxo ziya kuwa.
