Iha dia 14 de Jullu, La’o Hamutuk no NGO sira seluk entrega karta ba Ministru Agrikultura no Peskas kona ba Simeira Mundiál Sistema Ai-han (Food Systems Summit, FSS). Simeira ne’e iha objetivu atu fó dalan ba nasaun sira oinsá realiza Objetivu Dezenvolvimentu Sustentável (SDGs) no dezenvolve planu asaun atu hametin sistema ai-han. Ministru Agrikultura no Peskas sei partisipa iha Simeira refere inklui iha enkontru primeiru iha fulan Jullu nudár pre-simeira ida.

FSS se Promove Modelu Agrikultura ne'ebé Di’ak ba Povu ka Lae?

ONU servisu hamutuk ho Forum Ekonómiku Mundial (World Economic Forum, WEF) atu realiza Simeira Mundiál Sistema Ai-han. WEF hanesan organizasaun ida ne'ebé reprezenta interese liu husi 1000 kompañia boot. Iha Karta ba MAP, La’o Hamutuk observa katak organizasaun sosiedade sivíl barak iha mundu tomak haree katak konkordánsia entre ONU ho World Economic Forum (WEF) hodi realiza FSS ne’e sei loke dalan de’it ba kompañia boot sira atu partisipa direta no diskute sira nia interese iha prosesu governasaun ONU nian duke buka dalan no fasilita partisipasaun povu hodi hamosu solusaun ne'ebé efetivu no justu ba povu agrikultór ki’ik sira.

Sistema hirak ne’e sei aumenta liu tan problema hamlaha no seguransa ai-han iha mundu tomak no sei hatodan liu tan agrikultór ki’ik sira nia moris tanba kontinua hasa’e kustu produsaun ai-han nian. Problema degradasaun ba rai, bee no meiu-ambiente kontinua aumenta, no produsaun agrikultura sai vulneravel liu tan. Estudu barak hatudu katak, dezenvolvimentu agrikultura iha nivel industrial ne’ebé domina husi kompañia multinasionál no transnasionál sira la fó kontribuisaun boot ba hamenus kiak no hamenus in-seguransa ai-han no malnutrisaun, no bele estraga bee no ambiente no fó risku ba saúde.

Modelu agrikultura familiar no agro-ekolojia mak konserva diversidade iha produsaun, no sai fundasaun forte ba diversifikasaun produsaun ai-han. Sistema produsaun diversifikadu di’ak liu ba rai, ambiente no iha vulnerabilidade ki’ik liu ba mudansa klimátika. Tuir mai Organizasaun Ai-Han Mundiál (Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO) rekoñese ona importánsia husi modelu ne’e hodi dedika dékada ida ne’e (2018-2028) nudár dékada ba agrikultura familiar.  Tuir FAO agrikultura familiar sei sai xave importante tebes hodi atinje agenda Objetivu Dezenvolvimentu Sustentável 2030 nian ne’ebé Timor-Leste mós adopta hela. Agrikultura familiar la kontra modernizasaun maibé foka liu ba adaptasaun teknolojia no inovasaun foun ne’ebé mak efetivu no sustentável liu, ne'ebé adapta ba matenek no rekursu lokál sira.

Presiza Hametin Knaar Povu Nian iha Governasaun Sistema Ai-Han

Enkontru FSS iha planu mós atu kria organizasaun sientífiku foun iha sistema ONU nian ho naran Science-Policy Interface (SPI). Objetivu SPI atu ajuda prosesu governasaun liu husi fasilita peskiza no analiza husi peritu no matenek na’in sira. Nudár ezemplu ida mak organizasaun IPCC ne'ebé sai hanesan SPI ba asuntu mudansa klimátika. 

Tuir loloos, ONU nia Komité ba Seguransa Ai-Han (Committee for Food Security - CFS) kria ona SPI ida, ho naran High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE). Komité ida ne’e eziste ona dezde tinan 2010, no konsege fasilita partisipasaun sosiedade sivíl no grupu indíjena sira iha sira nia atividade.  Infelizmente, objetivu husi FSS atu hamenus knaar HLPE no troka ho SPI foun ne'ebé sei menus akontabilidade tanba kompostu husi setór privadu no sientista sira, no ladún loke ba partisipasaun sosiedade sivíl.

Ami konkorda katak solusaun ne'ebé efetivu no justu presiza involve maka’as partisipasaun agrikultór ki’ik sira no populasaun ho skill menus.

  • Timor-Leste bele fahe ita nia esperiénsia ho agrikultura familiar no sistema agrikultura sustentável, agro-ecology no produsaun orgánika atu enkoraja partisipante iha FSS atu promove solusaun sustentável hirak ne’e.

  • Uza oportunidade FSS atu loke diskusaun kona ba knaar sosiedade sivíl no grupu toos-na’in iha governasaun ONU, no promove akontabilidade no inkluzaun iha prosesu refere.

  • Rejeita proposta atu kria SPI hodi troka HLPE ho SPI foun ne'ebé la inklui mekanizmu forte atu fasilita partisipasaun povu.

  • Fahe Timor-Leste nia esperiénsia ho mudansa klimátika atu hatudu importánsia atu hamenus emisaun gas estufa, halo adaptasaun apropriadu, no responde bainhira hasoru ameasa hirak ne’e.

LH Asks the Ministry of Agriculture to Bring the Voice of the People to the Food Systems Summit

Liga ba artigu ida ne'e iha lian Tetum

On 14 July, La’o Hamutuk and other NGOs sent a letter to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries regarding the upcoming Food Systems Summit (FSS). The objective of the Summit is to establish a path toward realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and to create an action plan and measurable goals to strengthen food systems. Timor-Leste’s Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries will participate in the Summit, including a pre-summit this month.

Will the FSS promote agricultural approaches that are good for people?

The UN signed an agreement with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to jointly realize the Food Systems Summit. The WEF represents the interests of more than 1000 global corporations. In our letter to the Ministry, we pointed out that many in civil society view this agreement as opening the door to major private sector actors to participate directly in UN governance processes, while excluding civil society and agricultural movements from helping to develop effective and just solutions. For this reason, many civil society organisations believe that that FSS will not come up with solutions which are appropriate or just for farmers.

Large corporations promote conventional agriculture, seeking to industrialize production through the use of machinery, pesticides, and hybrid or genetically modified seeds that small-scale farmers must repeatedly purchase from the companies who have the rights over the genetic material. 

This system can exacerbate hunger and food insecurity, and can burden small-scale farmers. Studies have shown that industrial agriculture, and agriculture built on biotechnology, does not help eradicate poverty or food insecurity, and can threaten water, the environment, and human health.

Family farming and agro-ecology are models that can conserve diversity of production, and serve as a strong foundation for further diversification. Diverse agricultural production is good for the soil and for the broader environment, and is more resilient to climate change. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recognizes the importance of family farming, and had declared 2019-2028 as the Decade of Family Farming.  The FAO recognizes that family farming is key to achieving the SDGs, to which Timor-Leste is committed. Family farming isn’t contrary to modernization, but it focuses on technological innovations that are effective, sustainable and adapted for local knowledges and resources.

We need to strengthen people’s voices in food systems governance.

The FSS also plans to create a new Science-Policy Interface organization (SPI). SPIs, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), assist governance processes by facilitating research and analysis. 

Through the UN’s Committee on World Food Security (CFS), there is already an SPI addressing food systems: the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE). This Committee was established in 2010, and since then has provided reports and research on food security, nutrition, and related topics to the Committee for Food Security. Unfortunately the FSS will probably reduce the role of the HLPE and replace it with a new SPI, which will reduce accountability because it will likely be comprised of scientists and private sector actors, and will be less open to civil society participation.

The International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food) has published a briefing note about shifting the HLPE mandate to a new SPI; they are concerned that the new body may fail to recognize local communities and farmers as bearers of knowledge, while promoting technical solutions that overlook social, economic, and environmental relationships. We agree that an effective and just approach to food systems must involve high levels of participation from farmers, and the “unskilled” population.

What should the Ministry’s message to the FSS be?

For this reason, we believe that the people of Timor-Leste have a relevant and important perspective on the FSS which the Ministry, as a participant in the Summit, should give voice to.
In our letter, La’o Hamutuk made the following recommendations to the Ministry:

  • Bring the voice of the people to the FSS, and raise concerns about the role of the World Economic Forum and the limited role of communities. 

  • Share Timor-Leste’s experiences of family farming, sustainable and organic agriculture, and agro-ecology, and encourage participants in the FSS to promote these approaches.

  • Use the FSS as an opportunity to open a conversation about the role of civil society and farmers in UN governance, and promote greater accountability and inclusion in these processes.

  • Reject calls to create new Science-Policy Interface that would fail to include strong participation mechanisms, to replace the HLPE.

  • Share Timor-Leste’s experience of the impacts of climate change, to demonstrate the importance of responding to this threat by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making appropriate adaptations.

  • Continue to realize democratic values and sustainability within Timor-Leste, by promoting and strengthening family farming, water conservation, popular governance and prioritizing the achievement of food security through food sovereignty, including quality nutrition for all.

Kaptura no rai hela karbonu iha Timor-Leste nia Tasi Okos:

Solusaun ba Mudansa Klimátika ka Kolonializmu Karbonu?

Iha fulan Maiu, Santos no Eni, parseiru rua iha Konsorsiu Bayu-Undan, konkorda atu buka oportunidade hodi kontinua atividade iha kampu Bayu Undan, hafoin bainhira posu sira maran iha tinan 2022 ka 2023. Sira hanoin atu uza kampu ida ne’e atu kaptura no rai hela karbonu (iha lian Ingles, Carbon Capture and Storage ka CCS). Ne’e katak gas karbonu dioxida ne’ebé sai ona hanesan emisaun ka lixu husi produsaun gas naturál sei hatama iha tasi okos iha tasi Timor-Leste nian. Proposta ida ne’e bele sai perigozu ba Timor-Leste, no sei la ajuda maka’as ba esforsu atu hamenus mudansa klimátika.

Tanba sá mak Kaptura no Rai Hela Karbonu

Mundu tomak hasoru hela problema mudansa klimátika hanesan rezultadu husi atividade umanu nian, inklui produsaun mina no gas. Kompañia sira ne’ebé kria emisaun gas estufa hetan presaun atu hamenus sira nia impaktu ba ambiente. Maibé, haree ba sira nia lukru, kompañia mina no gas sira lakohi atu hapara produsaun. Sira buka meius atu prolonga produsaun, no sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu fó posibilidade atu kontinua estraga ambiente, maibé evite no husik sira nia responsabilidade.

Bainhira Santos no Eni fó sai katak sira buka oportunidade atu estabelese sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu, sira la esplika ho klaru sira nia motivasaun ka planu espesífiku. Maibé ita bele haree katak sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu bele ajuda sira atu hasa’e sira nia lukru ba oin no prolonga produsaun.

Kompañia Santos hasoru hela problema boot ida, tanba kampu Barossa ne’ebé sira jere, sei hamosu montante karbonu dioxida ne’ebé aas tebes. Gas naturál iha kampu Barossa kahur ho nivel karbonu dioxida aas liu. Hanesan ho kampu Evans Shoal ne’ebé kompañia Eni jere. Kampu rua ne’e tama iha tasi Australia nian.

Kompañia rua ne’e simu presaun atu hamenus sira nia impaktu negativu ba ambiente. Tuir Akordu Paris nian, maioria nasaun sira iha kometimentu atu hamenus sira nia emisaun gas estufa. Santos promete atu atinje emisaun net zero iha tinan 2040, no Eni promete atu atinje tarjetu hanesan iha 2030. Net zero signifika katak sira sei kalkula emisaun no foti asaun hanesan rai karbonu ka kuda ai atu hamenus karbonu iha atmosfera ho montante hanesan ho sira nia emisaun. Net zero la’ós katak sira sei hamenus produsaun gas estufa.

Ho nune’e, uza Kampu Bayu Undan nudár fatin atu implementa sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu, kompañia Santos no Eni bele halo nia aan hanesan di’ak ba ambiente, no prolonga produsaun gas natureza. Santos mós bele adia kustu desmantelamentu projetu Bayu-Undan, liu husi prolonga atividade iha ne’ebá.

Solusaun bele di’ak ba kompañia sira nia lukru, maibé ladún di’ak ba Timor-Leste no ba klima global.

Prosesu Rai Karbonu Efetivu ka Lae?

Projetu Rai Karbonu boot liu iha mundu, iha Australia nia tasi, sai parte husi kompañia Chevron nia projetu Gorgon LNG. Hafoin komesa produsaun iha tinan 2019, Chevron hasoru problema ho teknolojia rai karbonu, no konsege rai 30% de’it husi karbonu ne’ebé sira promete atu rai. Maibé, sira kontinua nafatin produsaun gas iha kampu Gorgon no kauza emisaun karbonu boot.

Se bainhira kompañia konsege implementa sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu ho di’ak, ne’e mós sei la rezolve problema, tanba sira nia produtu final, gas naturál, mós kontribui ba mudansa klimátika. Gas naturál kompostu husi gas metanu, ne’ebé fó impaktu negativu boot ba temperatura mundu nian, prosesu atu transporte, no uza gas naturál kria emisaun gas karbonu dioxida. Imposivel atu muda produsaun gas naturál hodi sai di’ak ba ambiente.

Realidade, indústria mina no gas promove sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu hanesan solusaun falsu ka bosok, ne’ebé fó oportunidade ba kompañia sira atu la’o nafatin. Medidas ne’ebé efetivu liu atu rezolve problema mudansa klimátika mak hamenus produsaun gas estufa hotu no investe iha enerjia renovável. Habosok nasaun hanesan Timor-Leste hodi simu solusaun falsu hanesan sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu sai obstákulu ba asaun efetivu liu.

Risku no Responsabilidade

Rai karbonu iha Timor-Leste nia tasi okos bele hamosu risku. Ladún klaru se mak sei responsabiliza fasilidade tasi nian ba futuru, atu asegura katak karbonu dioxida la suli sai. Se karbonu dioxida suli sai no tama iha tasi, bele kauza ásidu tasi nian atu aumenta ho impaktu negativu ba ekosistema. Karbonu ne’ebé sira propoin atu rai sei presiza jere durante longu prazu, bele to’o tinan rihun ba rihun. Tinan rihun ida ba oin, kompañia sira sei eziste nafatin? Se mak sei responsabiliza karbonu dioxida?

Maske Santos sujere katak sei iha remunerasaun ba Timor-Leste, seidauk klaru osan hira mak kompañia sei selu. Bazeia ba ami nia estimasaun, rendimentu ba Timor-Leste karik bele to’o tokon $40 kada tinan, maizumenus 2% husi OJE tomak. Ita presiza tetu didi’ak benefísiu husi rendimentu kompara ho risku no responsabilidade sira ne’ebé ita sei hasoru.

Justisa Klimátika no Kolonializmu Karbonu

Timor-Leste nia rekursu naturais, inklui biodiversidade no ekosistema iha tasi, la bele sakrifika hodi kompañia kontinua goza liu hosi atividade mina no gas atu bele hetan lukru tan. Ideia atu uza Timor-Leste nia tasi nudár fatin lixu (fatin atu rai sira nia emisaun), hodi sira bele kontinua hetan lukru boot, ne’e kontra prinsípiu justisa klimátika no bele hamosu “kolonializmu karbonu.” Organizasaun ativista balu uza fraze "kolonializmu karbonu" atu deskreve projetu sira ne’ebé promete atu ‘hamenus’ impaktu husi emisaun sira ho projetu ne’ebé bele hamosu esplorasaun ba nasaun sira ne’ebé seidauk dezenvolvidu, hanesan iha tempu koloniál. Santos nia fo’er la’ós Timor-Leste nia responsabilidade.

Buka no kontribui ba solusaun ba mudansa klimátika importante ba nasaun hotu, no ita presiza halo esforsu hamutuk atu rezolve. Artigu ida ne’e la sujere katak Timor-Leste la bele sai parte husi solusaun ba mudansa klimátika. Problema mak sistema kaptura no rai hela karbonu la’ós solusaun ba mudansa klimátika, no bele fó risku boot ba Timor-Leste. Mudansa klimátika bele halo mudansa ba udan (la mai tuir tempu), no bele hamosu inundasaun, no tempu maran bele mós dura ba tempu kleur. Impaktu ida tan mak tasi sai aumenta aas liu; ne’e sei fó impaktu negativu ba disponibilidade bee mós, no fó ameasa ba komunidade ne’ebé hela besik iha tasi ibun. Timor-Leste sai vulneravel liu ba impaktu hirak ne’e, tanba ita nia infrastrutura báziku ladún forte, no povu barak mak depende ba setór agrikultura.

Atu realiza projetu ida ne’e, kompañia sira presiza hetan konkordánsia husi autoridade Timor-Leste nian. La’o Hamutuk sei kontinua atu tau matan ba asuntu ida ne’e, hodi asegura katak Timor-Leste liuliu nia povu maubere labele sai vítima tan ba kompañia sira nia mehi ba lukru boot liu hosi esplorasaun rekursu naturais.

Condolences to family and comrades who lost a great friend in Carmel Budiardjo

With James Dunn, Australia
With heavy hearts, we learned that a great friend of Timor-Leste, mana Carmel Budiardjo, has left for another world. La'o Hamutuk is deeply saddened by Carmel's death. She was a huge supporter of the Timorese people and of other friends in the international solidarity movement.

Carmel stood alongside the people of Timor-Leste during difficult times, under the illegal Indonesian military occupation. Ever since 1975, she supported Timor-Leste's sovereignty, and in 1984 she wrote an important book -- The War Against East Timor -- which opened people's eyes all over the world. In 1973, she created the organization TAPOL in the UK, and this NGO continues to campaign against human rights violations and for sovereignty in West Papua and Indonesia proper.

Now that the brutal Indonesian military has left Timor-Leste, thanks to the common struggle of Timorese people and solidarity friends, Timor-Leste today is a nation free of foreign dictatorship. We are gratified that our supporters, including the departed Carmel Budiardjo and many other solidarity colleagues, continue to keep an eye on Timor-Leste and to struggle for freedom and human rights.

Mana Carmel was early to recognize the connections between human rights and the environment, and helped create several networks to advance this campaign. She also inspired and motivated activists around the globe, including ETAN in the USA, and brought many people into movements supporting the people of Timor-Leste, West Papua and Indonesia.

With Tom Hyland, Ireland
We believe that the Timorese people must not forget our friends in solidarity from across the world, who always stood by our side during heavy times. We suggest to name some public works after Carmel Budiardjo, so that her memory will persist for future Timorese generations.

In 2009, the Government of Timor-Leste recognized Carmel's contributions with a medal, and she came to Dili to participate in the Solidarity Conference to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the referendum. We are proud to have helped organize that event, and you can read Carmel's speech here.

With Saskia Kouwenberg, Netherlands
This week, after Carmel departed this world, Timorese government officials and many others have appreciated her contributions to this beloved land. If Carmel could speak, we are certain that she would tell all of us to continue the fight for justice and democracy. That is the most appropriate way to honor her legacy.

With tremendous gratitude to Carmel Budiardjo and other international solidarity friends.

The struggles continue.
