When deeds speak, words are nothing
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.

That’s a wrap for our The Niles “re<think”
issue and an impressive number of words
about how to safeguard the shared Nile Basin,
its resources and ultimately us, its people.
But remember, when deeds speak, words are
nothing. Right now, it is high time for deeds.
The Niles is a shared resource: Resource
persons, citizens, and contributors from across
the basin exchanged ideas and knowledge to
then share their collaborative work with you,
our readers.
For the publication to become a truly shared
resource, please feel free to republish The Niles
articles and share any thoughts it has provoked.
In that way, we can all work towards a social
and political consensus and towards safeguarding
just and peaceful communities.
To make it easier for you to share our
content and engage with others, our website
contains all of our magazines and supplementary
multimedia content and profiles
of our contributors.
The most recent issue published can always
be found on the landing page in both English
and Arabic. Previous The Niles issues can be
explored on our ‘In Focus’ page.
By providing this contextual information,
we hope to spark an inclusive and informed
exchange about Nile Basin affairs, inspire
audiences to act and drive the basin’s population
to thrive.
We hope you thoroughly enjoyed this issue
of The Niles, and we look forward to hearing
your ideas and reactions. As ever, do reach out
to us through our website or our social media
channels.
