Kwinyanga ezayo, amaqela oluntu kunye namalungu eNethiwekhi yeReLeaf kulo lonke elaseCalifornia anethuba lokuphawula kwimiba emibini ebalulekileyo. ZiyiSebe leMithombo yaManzi' (DWR) iSicwangciso esiHlangeneyo soLawulo lwaManzi kwiNgingqi (IRWM); kunye neNkqubo yeProjekthi yeProjekthi yeHlathi yasezidolophini yaseCalifornia (CARB). Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ezi nzame bezingenangeniso ngokufanelekileyo kumaqela amahlathi asezidolophini asebenza mihla le ukuhlaza imeko yethu yegolide, kodwa ngesikhokelo esisuka kwabachaphazelekayo anokuba luncedo.
NgoMatshi, i-2014, iRhuluneli uBrown kunye neNdlu yoWiso-mthetho yalela i-DWR ukuba ikhawulezise ukucela kunye nokunikezelwa kwe-200 yezigidi zeerandi kwinkxaso-mali ye-IRWM ukuxhasa iiprojekthi kunye neenkqubo ezibonelela ngokukhawuleza ukulungiswa kwembalela yengingqi, phakathi kweminye imiba ebalulekileyo enxulumene namanzi. Ukukhawulezisa ukusasazwa kwezi nkxaso-mali, i-DWR iza kusebenzisa inkqubo elungelelanisiweyo yokufaka isicelo sesibonelelo, kwaye icela izimvo zoluntu malunga neziKhokelo zeNkqubo yeSibonelelo kunye nePhakeji yokuFumana iSindululo (PSP).
I-IRWM yakhelwe kwisithembiso sokwandisa intsebenziswano phakathi kwabachaphazelekayo abaninzi malunga nezisombululo zolawulo lwamanzi zengingqi ezizinzileyo apho abona badlali babalaseleyo abaneeprojekthi ezigqwesileyo baya kunyukela phezulu. Nangona kunjalo, amalungu eNethiwekhi asuka kuwo wonke ummandla wamanzi avakalise ukuphoxeka ngenkqubo ye-IRWM apho oorhulumente basekhaya bedala umqobo kukhuphiswano olungenzi ngeniso kwezi ngxowa-mali.
Umba we-IRWM awuzusonjululwa ngobusuku nje obunye, kodwa isiqalo singanikezela ngezimvo ezibhaliweyo kwi-DWR malunga nokuba le mali iProposition 84 yokugqibela iya kunikezelwa njani kwiinyanga eziliqela ezizayo. Ndwendwela iwebhusayithi ye-DWR ngolwazi oluthe vetshe.
Ngokunjalo, uluntu lwamahlathi asezidolophini lusokole ngeProtocol yokuThobela yeeProjekthi zamaHlathi aseDolophini ukusukela oko iCARB yawamkela.
I-Climate Action Reserve ifumene ingxelo ukususela ngoko ukuba i-Version 1.0 yeprothokholi ibonise imiqobo ebalulekileyo ekuphunyezweni okuyimpumelelo kweeprojekthi zokunciphisa amahlathi asezidolophini. Oku kuye kwaphononongwa kwaye kwaqinisekiswa kwiworkshop yeCarbon Offsets & Urban Forest eyayibanjelwe eDavis ngo-2012. Oyena ndoqo phakathi kwezinto ezixhalabisayo ezivakalisiweyo yayikukuqinisekisa rhoqo kunye nokubekwa kweliso.
I-CAR ifumene inkxaso-mali evela kwi-CALFIRE ukuhlaziya iProtocol yeProjekthi ye-Urban Forest kwi-2013, kwaye ikhuphe i-protocol ehlaziyiweyo ukuze ihlaziywe kunye nezimvo zoluntu, ezimele ngoLwesihlanu, ngo-Aprili 25.th. Injongo yolu hlaziyo ibikukuqulunqa inkqubo ehlaziyiweyo eya kwenza ukuba kube nokwenzeka ngakumbi ukuba iiprojekthi zamahlathi asezidolophini ziphunyezwe ngelixa zisahlangabezana nemigangatho yolawulo lomgangatho wophuhliso lwekhabhoni.
Kwiwebhusayithi yayo, iCAR ithi "ukwamkelwa kweprotocol ehlaziyiweyo nguVimba kufuneka kuququzelele ukuphunyezwa kweeprojekthi ezininzi zamahlathi asezidolophini" (kubekho enye kuphela ukuza kuthi ga ngoku). Nangona kunjalo, iimpendulo zakwangoko ezivela kubathathi-nxaxheba abaninzi zibonisa ukuba kusekho imiqobo ebalulekileyo.
Elona galelo linentsingiselo kulo mba liya kuvela kwabo bantu bachaphazelekayo ziiprothokholi, kunye nabo benza umsebenzi phantsi komhlaba. Yiya kwiwebhusayithi yeClimate Action Reserve ukuze ufumane ulwazi oluthe kratya, kwaye wenze ilizwi lakho livakale.
