Ngehlobo eledlule, i-California ReLeaf kungazelelwe yazithola isesimeni esingathandeki sokuba umphathi wesibani ezinhlanganweni ezingenzi-nzuzo kuso sonke isifunda maqondana nomthetho obalulekile ongamisa abamukeli abafanelekile ukuze bathole uxhaso lwekhephu nohwebo. Into yokuqala esiyenzile ukwenza i-California ReLeaf Network isebenze. Okwesibili kwaba ukwakha ubudlelwano namanye amaqembu esifundazweni.
Umphumela waba ukuthi sikutholile ebesikufuna, futhi sikwenze ngokuhlanganisa izwi lendawo leNethiwekhi nethonya lezwe lonke le-Trust for Public Land kanye ne-Nature Conservancy.
Ngakho lapho kuvela ithuba lokuthi i-ReLeaf ijoyine le mfelandawonye yokongiwa kwemvelo (ephinde ihlanganise i-Pacific Forest Trust kanye ne-California Climate and Agricultural Network) ukuze isebenzisane ukuze ihlonze amathuba okutshalwa kwezimali kwemithombo yemvelo kanye nohwebo, sashesha ukwamukela isimemo. . Ngokufanayo, lapho abaxhasi be-SB 535 (umthethosivivinywa wemiphakathi eyayincishwe amathuba wangonyaka odlule) besimemela etafuleni labo, sabona ithuba lokuqala ukwakha ubudlelwano namaqembu ake athathwa “njengabalingane abangebona abendabuko.”
Abaningi ababambiqhaza kanye nabameleli benqubomgomo yomphakathi emiphakathini yezemvelo, amandla, kanye nezokuthutha njengamanje babungaza izincomo ezenziwe yi-California Air Resources Board ku-Draft Investment Plan ye-Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds ekhishwe ngo-April 16, 2013. Nathi siyagubha. . Lolu hlelo kuhloswe ngalo maqondana neqhaza okufanele libanjwe amahlathi asemadolobheni ekusizeni umbuso uhlangabezane nezinjongo zawo zowezi-2020 zokunciphisa isisi esibamba ukushisa; futhi imayelana nokuthi lezo zimali kufanele zabiwe kanjani nokuthi ngaziphi izinjongo. Lokhu kuwukunqoba okungangatshazwa komphakathi wethu.
Kodwa ukuwina akukhona nje ukubona amagama athi “amahlathi asemadolobheni” aphindwa izikhathi eziyi-15 kudokhumenti (yize lokho kuhle kakhulu). Kuyisiqinisekiso somsebenzi owenziwa yile Nethiwekhi, kanye nobambiswano esilwenzile ukuze kufike lapha. Bheka umbiko lapha, bese ubuyekeza iSithasiselo A ukuze ubone ukuthi ubani osize i-California ReLeaf kanye namalungu ethu Wenethiwekhi ukuphatha ithoshi. Lesi yisiqalo salokho i-ReLeaf ethemba ukuthi kuzoba ubudlelwano obuqhubekayo namaqembu afana ne-Housing California, TransForm, Greenlining Institute, Nature Conservancy, Asian Pacific Environmental Network, Coalition for Clean Air nabanye abaye bahlanganisa umqondo wokuthi indlela engcono kakhulu yokufeza amadolobha aluhlaza kanye nemiphakathi esimeme kulo lonke elaseCalifornia ngokubona zonke izingcezu kumele zisebenzisane ukwakha iphazili.
Sisesemjahweni wokuqeda, kodwa asikaze sibe nesisekelo sokusekela esiqine kunamanje. Sibonga kakhulu Inethiwekhi yethu kanye nozakwethu bezwe lonke ngokusisiza ukuthi sifike kuze kube manje.
