The Niles #17
The re<think issue

Dominik Lehnert
The Niles correspondents set out to explore where and how people in the Nile Basin region rethink.
11.02.2022  |  Entebbe, Uganda

Speaking about sustainable development is easy. Acting sustainably is another matter. And now the evidence is unequivocal: Mankind’s impact on nature is causing the climate to change rapidly and drastically, threatening the environment and the very resources we need to survive.

Aware that humanity is careening close to the edge, The Niles correspondents set out to explore where and how people in the Nile Basin region rethink. So much of their findings for now: We are an endlessly innovative species. Cooperation is our superpower. When deeds speak, words are nothing.
