Botswana : China handed over a mobile meteorological station aiming at helping improve climate change

The Chinese Embassy handed over a mobile meteorological station to the Botswana government in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, aiming at helping improve the southern African country’s capacity to address climate change.

The multi-satellite data mobile receiving and processing system, donated by the Chinese government, will provide strong support to Botswana in environmental monitoring, agricultural production and extreme climate prevention, to help Botswana achieve its goals of environmentally sustainable development, said Wang Xuefeng, Chinese ambassador to Botswana, at the handover ceremony, adding that this station is just one of the fruits of nine programs under the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation framework.
