ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the concerns regarding ecological sustainability onto the sub-regional agenda. While there has been a growing recognition of the need for sub-regional cooperation within the BCIM region, there have been limited collective learning opportunities to share information, experiences and lessons on sustainable development. Strengthening capacity building within the BCIM subregion needs to be prioritised as a strategic requirement with a focus on the direct involvement of border communities as stakeholders in the cross-border resource governance.
