SCHOOL EDUCATION AND AWARENESS ON SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS TO ADRESS ENVIRONMENTAL CAHALENGES- THE CASE OF TRANSBOUNDARY RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

10-12 JUNE 2026, MAUN BOTSWANA

We had the privilege of engaging with Environmental clubs- students in an interactive presentation focused on the role of OKACOM and the importance of transboundary water cooperation in managing shared river basins.

The sessions highlighted how cooperation among countries sharing the Cubango–Okavango River Basin helps to:

Protect vital ecosystems

Promote sustainable water use

Support livelihoods and climate resilience

Foster peace, collaboration, and shared responsibility

It was encouraging to see young and aspiring environmentalists actively engaging, asking thoughtful questions, and exploring how science, policy, and regional cooperation come together to safeguard our shared water resources for future generations.

Together, we are nurturing informed, empowered youth who understand that water knows no borders—and neither should our solutions.
