National Stakeholders Identification (Botswana)

[GCRI]

Welcome to the National Stakeholders Identification Thread for Botswana!
This thread identifies and maps key stakeholders across sectors to support climate action, disaster risk reduction (DRR), biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development efforts in Botswana. We aim to engage relevant actors to mobilize climate finance and strengthen partnerships for the Global Risks Forum 2025 and other global frameworks, including the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage.

How You Can Contribute: Identify Stakeholders Across the Quintuple Helix Framework
1- Academia and Research: Universities, think tanks, and research institutions focusing on sustainability, climate policy, DRR, and biodiversity in Botswana.
Example: Institutions like the University of Botswana, Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST), and research centers such as the Okavango Research Institute.

2- Industry and Business: Corporations, startups, and financial institutions involved in renewable energy, green technologies, and climate finance.
Example: Solar energy providers, mining companies adopting sustainable practices, green startups, and financial institutions offering loans for renewable energy projects.

3- Civil Society and NGOs: Non-profits, advocacy groups, and community organizations working on conservation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.
