UNigel Topping: “Kukho iinkunzi**t.Kodwa kububudenge ukubiza yonke into ngokuthi "i-greenwashing".

Abameli bemozulu be-UN abakumgangatho ophezulu bachaza "umjikelo wamabhongo" oqhuba iinkampani ukuba zithathe inyathelo lemozulu.
Ngeqhina lakhe le-#ShowYourStripes kunye nemaski, kunye neembaleki eziluhlaza kunye neorenji, uNigel Topping ugqamile phakathi kwesihlwele.Ngosuku olungaphambi kokuba ndibe nodliwanondlebe naye e-Cop26, uTopping walandela u-Al Gore, owayesakuba ngumgqatswa waseMelika, eqongeni enxibe iikawusi ezibomvu eziqaqambileyo.NgoMgqibelo ongwevu kunye nemvula kusasa (ngoNovemba 6), xa uninzi lwethu lufanele lube ebhedini, imibala kunye nokuthanda kukaToppin kwisenzo semozulu iyosulela.
I-Topping inandipha isihloko esihloniphekileyo se-UN High-level Climate Champion, awabelana ngayo nosomashishini ozinzileyo waseChile uGonzalo Muñoz.Le ndima yasekwa phantsi kweSivumelwano saseParis ukunceda ukukhuthaza iinkampani, izixeko kunye nabatyali-mali ukuba banciphise ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo kunye nokuphumeza ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo.UTopin wonyulwa njengomamkeli we-Cop26 yiNkulumbuso yase-Bhritane u-Boris Johnson ngoJanuwari ka-2020.
Xa ndabuza ukuba umsebenzi wakhe uthetha ukuthini kanye kanye, uToppin wancuma wandithumela kumbhali waseIndiya uAmitav Ghosh (Amitav Ghosh) kwincwadi yakhe ethi “The Great Derangement.”Ngokucacileyo wahlekisa ngokudalwa kwalo mlinganiswa kwaye wabuza ukuba zenza ntoni ezi "zidalwa zasentsomini" ukuze zibizwe ngokuba "iintshatsheli".Yintoni eyenziwa nguTopping ukubonisa ubungqina bakhe obuthembekileyo njengengcali yoshishino oluzinzileyo-wasebenza njenge-CEO ye-We Mean Business Alliance, umlawuli olawulayo weProjekthi yeCarbon Disclosure, kwaye wasebenza kwicandelo labucala malunga ne-20 iminyaka.
Kusuku olungaphambi kwentetho yethu, uGreta Tumberg uxelele abaphulaphuli "ngoLwesihlanu ngekamva" eGlasgow ukuba iCop26 "nguMnyhadala wokuHlanjwa okuHlaza okuHlaza", hayi inkomfa yemozulu.“Kukho iinkunzi zenkomo,” watsho uToppin.“Kukho into eyenzeka ngokuluhlaza, kodwa akulunganga ukubeka yonke into eluhlaza.Kufuneka ube ne-forensic ngakumbi, okanye uya kumlahla umntwana ngamanzi okuhlamba.Kuya kufuneka uphucuke kakhulu… endaweni yokuleyibhelisela yonke into i-Nonsense labels, kungenjalo kuya kuba nzima ukwenza inkqubela phambili. "
UTopping uthe, njengorhulumente, ezinye iinkampani zinamabhongo, ngelixa ezinye zisilela ngasemva kwizenzo zemozulu.Kodwa, ngokubanzi, "sibubonile ubunkokeli bokwenyani kwicandelo labucala, ebesingacingeki kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo."I-Topping ichaze "ukujikeleza kwamabhongo abekwe ngexesha lokwenyani" apho urhulumente kunye neenkampani zityhalana ukuba zenze izibophelelo ezinkulu nezingcono zemozulu.
Uthe olona tshintsho lukhulu kukuba iinkampani azisaboni isenzo semozulu njengeendleko okanye ithuba, kodwa “njengokungenakuthintelwa.”UTopin uthe amatsha ntliziyo olutsha, abalawuli, oosodolophu, amagcisa, abathengi kunye nababoneleli bonke bakhomba kwicala elinye.“NjengeCEO, ukuba awuyifundi, uya kuba nomsindo kakhulu.Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ube ngumxeli-thamsanqa ukuze ubone olu tshintsho.Iyangxola.”
Nangona ekholelwa ukuba “utshintsho lweziko” luyenzeka, kukutshintshela kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo zobukapitali, hayi ukubhukuqwa ngokupheleleyo kwemeko ekhoyo.“Andikhange ndibone naziphi na iingcebiso zobulumko zokubhukuqa inkqubo yongxowankulu kunye nezinye iindlela,” utshilo uToppin.“Siyazi ukuba i-capitalism ilunge kakhulu kwimiba ethile, kwaye kuxhomekeke eluntwini ukwenza isigqibo ngeenjongo.
“Sishiya ixesha lokunyoluka okungathintelwanga kunye nenkolelo emfitshane kancinane kumandla obukhapitali kunye noqoqosho olungagungqiyo, kwaye siqonda ukuba uluntu lunokugqiba ekubeni sifuna ukusabalalisa ngakumbi kunye nokusebenza ngamandla apheleleyo.Uqoqosho,” ucebise watsho.Ukugxila “kukungalingani okuthile okubangelwa yinguqu yoluntu kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu” kuya kuba ngundoqo kwingxoxo yeCop26 yale veki.
Nangona wayenethemba, uToppin wayesazi ukuba isantya sotshintsho kufuneka sikhawuleziswe.UToppin uthe impendulo ecothayo yehlabathi kutshintsho lwemozulu ayisiyonto nje “yokusilela ekucingeni” njengoko uGhosh eyibiza njalo, kodwa “kukusilela ukuzithemba.”
“Xa siqwalasela into ethile, thina njengezidalwa sinamandla amangalisayo okuvelisa izinto ezintsha,” wongezelela, ecaphula amabhongo kaJohn F. Kennedy “eMoon Landing Plan”.“Abantu bacinga ukuba uyaphambana,” utshilo uToppin.Phantse abukho ubugcisa bokuma enyangeni, yaye iingcali zezibalo azikwazi ukubala umkhondo wokubhabha emajukujukwini.“I-JKF ithe, 'Andikhathali, yisombulule.'” Kufuneka sithathe isimo esifanayo kwintshukumo yemozulu, hayi “isimo sokuzikhusela” xa sijongana neempembelelo ezimbi."Sifuna ukucinga ngakumbi kunye nesibindi sokubeka iinjongo esifuna ukuzifezekisa."
Amandla emarike nawo aya kukhuthaza inkqubela phambili ekhawulezayo kwaye anciphise iindleko zetekhnoloji entsha.Njengamandla elanga nawomoya, amandla elanga nawomoya ngoku anexabiso eliphantsi kunamafutha efosili kwiindawo ezininzi zehlabathi.Umhla we-10 kaNovemba lusuku lokuthumela ngenqanawa lwe-Cop26.U-Toppin uthemba ukuba lo ngumhla xa ihlabathi livuma ukuphelisa ubudlelwane kunye ne-injini yokutsha yangaphakathi.Wathi ikamva yindlela abanye abantu abakhumbula ngayo ukusetyenziswa kwepetroli neenqwelo zedizili, kanye ngendlela “ootatomkhulu abanxibe iikepusi ezisicaba” ababedibana ngayo ngeempelaveki ukuze baxubushe iingenelo zeeroli zendlela ezibaswa ngamalahle kwixesha elidluleyo.
Oku akuyi kuba ngaphandle kobunzima.UTopping uthe naluphi na utshintsho olukhulu luthetha "umngcipheko kunye namathuba", kwaye kufuneka "silumkele iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga."Ukutshintsha ngokukhawuleza kwiimoto zombane akuthethi ukulahla iinjini zokutsha zangaphakathi kumazwe asakhasayo.Kwangaxeshanye, “sifanele silumke singaweli kumgibe wakudala wokucinga ukuba inguqulelo kwezobugcisa imele yenzeke kumazwe asakhasayo kwiminyaka engama-20 kamva,” watsho njalo.Ucaphule umzekelo weKenya Mobile Bank, “enzima ngakumbi kune-UK okanye iManhattan.”
Utshintsho lokuziphatha aluzange lubonakale kwiingxoxo zeCop26, nangona bekukho izibheno ezininzi ezitratweni-kwakukho uqhanqalazo lwemozulu eGlasgow ngoLwesihlanu nangoMgqibelo (Novemba 5-6).I-Topping ikholelwa ukuba inkampani inokunceda kulo mba.I-Topping yathi i-Wal-Mart kunye ne-IKEA zithengisa ii-LED ezigcina amandla endaweni ye-incandescent bulbs kunye "ukunceda ukukhetha umhleli abathengi" ukuba baqhelane nemikhwa emitsha yokuthenga, eba "yesiqhelo" ekuhambeni kwexesha.Ukholelwa ukuba utshintsho olufanayo lwenzekile ekutyeni.
“Sibona utshintsho kwindlela yokutya,” utshilo uTopping.Umzekelo, uMcDonald's wazisa iibhega ezisekwe kwizityalo, kwaye iSainbury ibeke enye inyama kwiishelufu zenyama.Izenzo ezinjalo "zibandakanya" iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuziphatha."Oku kuthetha ukuba awungomntu otya inyama ongaqhelekanga, kufuneka uye ekoneni ukuze ufumane ingqokelela yakho ekhethekileyo."
