Co-creating resilient ways to respond to socio-economic impact on our ecological capacity.
Freshwater rivers are amongst the most threatened ecosystems in the world
A WORD FROM OUR CO-FOUNDER DR. BÜCHNER-MARAIS
"Proverbially speaking, we all live downstream. We need to re-imagine how we deal with socio-ecological systems. CoGo provides a new governance arrangement where different role players can learn and experiment together in order to solve these complex problems."
Taking responsibility to achieve thriving waterscapes.
WHAT MOTIVATES US
A waterscape sets out to reveal particular issues associated with water. This implies that waterscapes define the most desirable futures and avoid the least desirable, prompting self-reflection, igniting the imagination and affecting positive social change.
