The University of Eswatini hosted a Climate Change Commemoration Day at its Luyengo Campus on World Earth Day, bringing together stakeholders from the environmental, climate, water and agricultural sectors under the theme “Mitigating Climate Change.”
The Incomati and Maputo Watercourse Commission, known as INMACOM, was among the organisations that took part in the event, setting up an information gazebo where brochures were distributed to raise awareness about its work and initiatives, particularly those addressing climate change under the Global Environment Facility, GEF-8, framework.
Through GEF-8, INMACOM promotes integrated and cross-sectoral approaches that address the interconnected challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation, supporting sustainable development outcomes across its three member states, the Republic of South Africa, Mozambique and the Kingdom of Eswatini. 
The event was organised under the Integrating Mobility, Digital Tools, and Climate Education Project, known as IMPACT-ED, to Address Terrestrial Plant Diversity and Conservation in a Changing Climate. The initiative is funded by the European Union and involves five African universities, including the University of Eswatini, and one European university. The project seeks to nurture a new generation of climate-responsive African graduates and professionals by embedding climate change education within university curricula.
The programme featured expert presentations, interactive discussions and poster exhibitions, all aimed at fostering dialogue on shared responsibility for environmental stewardship and climate resilience.
