Ngexesha INkomfa ye-16 yamaQela kwiNgqungquthela yeZizwe eziManyeneyo malunga neBiological Diversity (COP16), Green Initiative thaca ityala le I-Machu Picchu njengomzekelo weNdawo yeCarbon Neutral kunye neRegenerative Tourism Destination. I-COP16 iqukunjelwe eCali emva kweentsuku ezili-12 zeengxoxo ezishushu. Eyaziwa ngokuba yi-“The People’s COP,” le ngqungquthela yohlulwe yaba yindawo ezuba yeengxoxo ezisemthethweni kunye nendawo eluhlaza egxile kuthatho-nxaxheba loluntu. Ngokukarhulumente waseColombia, indawo eluhlaza yatsala abakhenkethi abaphantse babe sisigidi, nabamalunga nama-40,000 abaya kwimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo yokufunda.
Kwindawo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, apho uthethwano lwenzeka khona, iziganeko ezihambelanayo nazo zahlelwa kwiipaliyoni zamazwe ahlukeneyo kunye nemibutho. Phakathi kwezi yayiyiPeru Pavilion, eyayisindleke uthotho lwemisitho ebalaseleyo, kuquka nenye enesihloko esithi “I-Machu Picchu: Indawo yeCarbon-Neutral kunye neRegenerative Tourism Destination.” Le seshoni ibonise amalinge emozulu kunye nendalo entle eqhubekayo e-Machu Picchu, ejolise ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kunye nokubuyisela i-ecosystem njengenxalenye yolawulo lwezokhenketho.

Abaququzeleli bagxininisa ukubaluleka kwentsebenziswano yecandelo likarhulumente nelabucala ukuze kuphumelele iiprojekthi ezifana Machu Picchu. Babuqonda ubunkokeli be Green Initiative njengomcebisi ophambili kwinguqu yommandla kwi-decarbonization kunye nokhenketho oluhlaziyayo.
I-COP16 yayiliqonga leengxoxo kunye nokucamngca kwaye yaphawula imigama ebalulekileyo kwiseshoni yayo yokugqibela yocweyo.. Phakathi kwezona zinto ziphawuleka kakhulu yayikukudala iqumrhu elincedisayo kwiNqaku le-8J lokuxhasa abantu boMthonyama kunye noluntu lwasekuhlaleni, ukuvunywa kwabantu abayinzala yama-Afro njengabagcini beentlobo-ntlobo zezinto eziphilayo, kunye neNgxowa-mali ye-Cali, inkqubo yehlabathi yokusasazwa ngokulinganayo kweenzuzo ezivela kulwazi lwemfuza. Ukongeza, intsebenziswano phakathi kwe-Biodiversity kunye ne-ajenda yoTshintsho lweMozulu yakhuthazwa, ukulungiselela i-COP29 ngoTshintsho lweMozulu e-Azerbaijan kunye ne-COP30 ezayo eBrazil.
I-Colombia iphinde yathatha ithuba lokusungula ibhondi yebhayoloji yokuqala yehlabathi ngexesha le-COP16, inyathelo elijolise ekubandakanyeni icandelo labucala kulondolozo lweentlobo-ntlobo zebhayoloji.. I-Banco Davivienda, notyalo-mali oluya kuthi ga kwi-50 yezigidi zeedola oluvela kwi-International Finance Corporation (IFC), iya kuthululela ezi zibonelelo kwiiprojekthi ezineempembelelo ezintle kwizinto eziphilayo.
