Lusaka, 5 June 2025 – As the world comes together to commemorate World Environment Day, ZAMREN joins the global call for urgent action to protect our planet. With the 2025 theme focused on “Ending Plastic Pollution – A Call to Action,” this day serves as a powerful reminder of the need for collaborative efforts in addressing environmental challenges.
At ZAMREN, our mission extends beyond connectivity. We recognize that the research and education institutions we serve are at the heart of developing the knowledge and innovations needed to confront climate change, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable development.
In a statement marking this important day, ZAMREN Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Stein Mkandawire, emphasized the organization’s commitment to supporting environmental research:
“At ZAMREN, we are proud to power the research and innovation that drives environmental solutions. This World Environment Day, we reaffirm our commitment to enabling institutions across Zambia with the digital tools they need to tackle climate change, pollution, and other pressing environmental challenges.”
ZAMREN’s digital infrastructure plays a pivotal role in facilitating access to global research networks, cloud computing resources, and collaborative platforms that are essential for researchers addressing issues like deforestation, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss.
As a practical example of ZAMREN’s own environmental consciousness, the organization continues to preserve and maintain the lush green surroundings of ZAMREN House, a reflection of our respect for nature and our responsibility to promote sustainable workplace environments.
Through collective action and digital empowerment, we believe that the research and education community in Zambia can drive meaningful change for the environment.
