Botswana to Attend COP17

Botswana will be among the countries that will be represented at the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in Durban, from 28 November to 9 December 2011.

Botswana’s director of metereological services, Phetolo Phage, points out that in efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change, the country has also held a couple of awareness programmes to encourage, among other things, tree planting, discouraging deforestation, highlighting the significance of rain water harvesting, and the use of recycled water.

“We want Botswana to be represented in a big way; we will cooperate with everybody, including NGOs,” explains Phage.
