The session was also addressed by Anna Negoduiko, Minister of Economic Development of the Omsk Region, Diana Gridasova, Head of the En+ Responsible Territories Sustainable Development Programme, and Irina Kalacheva, ESG and sustainability expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representatives of the Omsk branch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/baikalfoundation.ru\/en\/our-work\/water-conservation\/youth-water-council-ywc\/\"><strong>Youth Water Council<\/strong><\/a> formed the backbone of the participants in the environmental area. The result of their work was the development of a project idea on holding a case championship among students and young specialists of the SCO countries on solving urgent problems of transboundary water bodies use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is that industrial enterprises, agrarians and authorities prepare practical cases, and young people from the SCO countries develop applied solutions to reduce the volume and concentration of harmful substances entering water bodies, improve their condition, and increase the efficiency of water use. Representatives of the Youth Water Council propose to organise the first case championship in Omsk, focusing on the problems of the Irtysh River, the waters of which are used by three SCO countries &#8211; China, Kazakhstan and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar case championship has already been tested in Omsk at the regional level. The results show that the idea is ready to be replicated beyond the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/baikalfoundation.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5188246543277353648.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/baikalfoundation.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5188246543277353648.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/baikalfoundation.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5188246543277353648-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/baikalfoundation.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5188246543277353648-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/baikalfoundation.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5188246543277353648-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/baikalfoundation.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/5188246543277353648-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Omsk is hosting the SCO International Forum on Sustainable Development, which is attended by representatives of the Republic of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the People&#8217;s Republic of China.
