اسأل، لا تخبر: كيف للحكومات أن تدمج المجتمعات للتفاعل معها بشأن تغير المناخ؟

تعرف المجتمعات والمنظمات غير الحكومية أفضل من الحكومات بشأن السياسات البيئية، ويجب على المجتمعات أن تُدير مسألة تغيير وانتقال الطاقة في أوكرانيا.

Listen to this story:


قد أقيمت الانتخابات مرتين في العام الماضي، [1] وقامت الحكومة الجديدة بتغيير السياسة البيئية في أوكرانيا، حيث اندمجت وزارتي الطاقة وصناعة الفحم مع وزارة الحماية البيئية في كيان واحد أُطلق عليه "وزارة الطاقة والحماية البيئية" ومن ثم جاءت الوزارة الجديدة بما يسمى "الصفقة الجديدة الخضراء" [2] من أجل أوكرانيا، وعلى الرغم من ترحيبي بنية انعقاد صفقة جديدة حقيقة، وبناءً على خبرتي في السلطات المحلية، أؤكد أن هذه السياسة يجب أن تخضع لمزيد من المناقشات مع أصحاب المصلحة على جميع المستويات، وخاصة السلطات المحلية، قبل اعتمادها.

  ففي عام 2010، بدأت كطالبًا متطوعًا في منظمة بيئية غير حكومية، كانت أول مهمة لي هي دراسة مشاريع كفاءة الطاقة في منطقة مانيفيتشي، مجتمع شمالي صغير في أوكرانيا. بالحديث مع موظف في قطاع الإدارة، لاحظت كيف كانوا متحمسين، وأرادوا تطوير راحة المواطن من خلال رفع كفاءة المرافق العامة، وعلى الرغم من أنه في الحقيقة ليس كل موظفي الخدمة المدنية على نفس القدر من الحماس، لكن اتفق جميع من التقيت بهم على تحسين حياة المواطنين التابعين لهم، ذلك حقيقيًا خاصة في المجتمعات الصغيرة، حيث يمثل موظفي الخدمة المدنية احتياجات أصدقائهم وجيرانهم، لذلك فأنا أؤمن بأن المجتمعات الصغيرة وليس الحكومات الفيدرالية، هي من يجب عليها أن تدير ملف "التحول الأخضر الجديد".

كما يجب على السلطات الوطنية أن تعي ذلك! فبحكم عملي مع المنظمات غير الحكومية، أرى السياسات الوطنية من وجهة نظر المسؤولين المحليين.، فتقوم الحكومة بعمل خطط على المستوى الوطني دون استشارة المجتمعات، . ويؤدي عدم إجراء مشاورات إلى مشاكل تتعلق بالتنفيذ على أرض الواقع.

على سبيل المثال: الإعانات الحكومية الفعلية لتكلفة الطاقة الموجهة لمحدودي الدخل صممت بطريقة تعوق كفاءة الطاقة، فلكي تكون مستحقًا  للدعم يجب على الأسرة استهلاك قدر محدد من الغاز كل عام، إذا استهلكت الأسرة قدر أقل تفقد الدعم، لذلك يجب عليهم استهلاك و حرق قدرًا أكبر من الغاز الطبيعي كي يستحقوا الدعم، اسمي تلك العملية بالتحفيز الضار.

ففي أحد الأيام، في مقهى، تناقشت مع بعض الزملاء كيف لنا أن نعمل على تضييق الفجوة بين مستوى السياسات المحلية والوطنية، فأسفرالنقاش عن أكبر حدث قمت بتنظيمه في حياتي: منتدى "المدن المناخية الطموحة" في عام 2019، حيث أحضرنا ممثلين من 50 سلطة محلية، من ضمنهم محافظين من 7 مدن. في المنتدى، وقّعت 21 بلدية على إعلان المنتدى الذي ينادي بمزيد من الاهتمام على مستوى الولاية للتطوير المحلي، خاصةً في مجالات الطاقة الخضراء والمناخ. لقد كان ذلك أضخم وأكثر حدث مؤثرًا تم تنظيمه من قبل المجتمع الأوكراني المدني في مجال الطاقة.

 أعرب العديد من المشاركين عن دعمهم لفكرة تعاون أفضل بين المستويين المحلي والوطني، و فكرة "التحول الأخضر الجديد" عامةً، كنت في غاية الفخر بنفسي بما أنجزت!

 كما لقينا كمنظمات مجتمع مدني كل الدعم من السلطات المحلية، الذين كانوا أتم الاستعداد  لكي يخطو أولى خطواتهم نحو الإجراءات المناخية، إذا اتبعت الحكومة خطتنا، فسنكون في اقتصاد أخضر جديد في لمح البصر.

Share your story

Every story we share is another perspective on a complex topic like migration, gender and sexuality or liberation. We believe that these personal stories are important to better understand what's going on in our globalised society - and to better understand each other. That's because we are convinced that the more we understand about each other, the easier it will be for us to really talk to one another, to get closer - and to maybe find solutions for the issues that affect us all.

Get involved

At Correspondents of the World, we want to contribute to a better understanding of one another in a world that seems to get smaller by the day - but somehow neglects to bring people closer together as well. We think that one of the most frequent reasons for misunderstanding and unnecessarily heated debates is that we don't really understand how each of us is affected differently by global issues.

Our aim is to change that with every personal story we share.

Community Worldwide

Correspondents of the World is not just this website, but also a great community of people from all over the world. While face-to-face meetings are difficult at the moment, our Facebook Community Group is THE place to be to meet other people invested in Correspondents of the World. We are currently running a series of online-tea talks to get to know each other better.

Global Issues Through Local Eyes

We are Correspondents of the World, an online platform where people from all over the world share their personal stories in relation to global development. We try to collect stories from people of all ages and genders, people with different social and religious backgrounds and people with all kinds of political opinions in order to get a fuller picture of what is going on behind the big news.

Our Correspondents

At Correspondents of the World we invite everyone to share their own story. This means we don't have professional writers or skilled interviewers. We believe that this approach offers a whole new perspective on topics we normally only read about in the news - if at all. If you would like to share your story, you can find more info here.

Our Editors

We acknowledge that the stories we collect will necessarily be biased. But so is news. Believing in the power of the narrative, our growing team of awesome editors helps correspondents to make sure that their story is strictly about their personal experience - and let that speak for itself.

Topics

We believe in quality over quantity. To give ourselves a focus, we started out to collect personal stories that relate to our correspondents' experiences with six different global topics. However, these topics were selected to increase the likelihood that the stories of different correspondents will cover the same issues and therefore illuminate these issues from different perspectives - and not to exclude any stories. If you have a personal story relating to a global issue that's not covered by our topics, please still reach out to us! We definitely have some blind spots and are happy to revise our focus and introduce new topics at any point in time. 

Environment

Discussions about the environment often center on grim, impersonal figures. Among the numbers and warnings, it is easy to forget that all of these statistics actually also affect us - in very different ways. We believe that in order to understand the immensity of environmental topics and global climate change, we need the personal stories of our correspondents.

Gender and Sexuality

Gender is the assumption of a "normal". Unmet expectations of what is normal are a world-wide cause for violence. We hope that the stories of our correspondents will help us to better understand the effects of global developments related to gender and sexuality, and to reveal outdated concepts that have been reinforced for centuries.

Migration

Our correspondents write about migration because it is a deeply personal topic that is often dehumanized. People quickly become foreigners, refugees - a "they". But: we have always been migrating, and we always will. For millions of different reasons. By sharing personal stories about migration, we hope to re-humanize this global topic.

Liberation

We want to support the demand for justice by spotlighting the personal stories of people who seek liberation in all its different forms. Our correspondents share their individual experiences in creating equality. We hope that for some this will be an encouragement to continue their own struggle against inequality and oppression - and for some an encouragement to get involved.

Education

Education is the newest addition to our themes. We believe that education, not only formal but also informal, is one of the core aspects of just and equal society as well as social change. Our correspondents share their experiences and confrontations about educational inequalities, accessibility issues and influence of societal norms and structures. 

Corona Virus

2020 is a year different from others before - not least because of the Corona pandemic. The worldwide spread of a highly contagious virus is something that affects all of us in very different ways. To get a better picture of how the pandemic's plethora of explicit and implicit consequences influences our everyday life, we share lockdown stories from correspondents all over the world.

Growing Fast

Although we started just over a year ago, Correspondents of the World has a quickly growing community of correspondents - and a dedicated team of editors, translators and country managers.
