As part of the Word Environment Day, the 1st Transboundary Local Conference on Environment was organized by the Oiapoque municipality, in partnership with the BIO-PLATEAUX on June 5th and 6th, 2024.
The event provided an opportunity to promote exchanges between Brazil and French Guiana on the challenges of shared management of the Oyapock River Basin.
A wide variety of activities open to the general public were proposed:
- Exchanges between local and regional politicians
- Cross-border round-table discussion on waste management ️
- Lectures by a variety of stakeholders (institutions, academics, private sector)
The BIO-PLATEAUX initiative is continuing its work to raise local awareness of the shared environmental challenges of managing the Oyapock River's water resources.
