Tashkent, June 8 /Xin Hua/ — The existing environmental problems of the World Ocean today can only be solved with the participation of a large number of states and the active role of China. This was stated in an interview with Xin Hua on the eve of World Oceans Day by the Deputy Director for Science and Production of the International Innovation Center of the Aral Sea Region /Uzbekistan/ Abdirashit Mirzambetov.
According to him, climate change is one of the main global environmental problems of our time, which leads to an increase in temperatures across the entire planet, a reduction in glacier volumes, changes in the coastlines of seas, and other consequences related to the world’s oceans. This problem directly affects even countries located far from the seashores, including Central Asian states.
A. Mirzambetov noted that seaweed is one of the most important natural absorbers of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Disruption of their vital activity as a result of climate change or ocean pollution can lead to negative consequences for the entire planet.
“In my opinion, the basis of the states’ climate policy should be the preservation of the World Ocean and marine life,” emphasized the scientist, adding that the best result for ensuring atmospheric cleanliness will come from the development of recycling systems and the prevention of wastewater entering the water.
The expert gave a high assessment of the active participation of the BBNJ in global marine ecological management in recent years. In his opinion, particular international significance is held by China’s support for the agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) and its positive attitude towards the ratification process.
“This testifies to the recognition of the global nature of oceanic ecological problems. Seeking to strengthen international legal mechanisms for the protection of biodiversity in the high seas, China demonstrates a desire to participate in the formation of the future international environmental agenda,” noted A. Mirzambetov.
One of the most notable aspects of modern Chinese policy he called the transition from solving internal ecological problems to the development and implementation of solutions for global challenges, including through the strengthening of ecological control using satellites, digital monitoring platforms, and marine information databases.
The scientist emphasized that China’s experience shows how the protection of the marine environment and green technologies can simultaneously create economic opportunities for countries located within continents and facing water resource shortages.
As an example, he cited the project of the International Innovation Center of Priaralye, which, with the support of Chinese investments and technologies, successfully implemented drip irrigation systems using solar and wind energy. This allowed finding a balance between saving water and reducing carbon emissions, helping to reduce anthropogenic pressure on the climate system, which is inextricably linked with the global ocean.
For many countries with limited resources, the mechanisms of equal cooperation and exchange of technologies proposed by China create a reliable foundation for conducting research and modernizing ecological monitoring systems, summarized A. Mirzambetov.
