Still recovering from the ravaging effects of Cyclone Idai, Zimbabwe is in the process of finalising a Climate Change Bill to operationalise the National Climate Change Policy for enhanced climate change resilience. Speaking at the National Consultative Workshop on the National Climate Change Bill, Mr Nesbert Samu representing the Parliament of Zimbabwe reiterated Government’s commitment to meeting the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Target of 33% by 2030.

This process is in line with Zimbabwe meeting its international obligations under the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreements. A Compliance Committee has been set up to monitor the NDC commitments that are made by countries.

Green Industries offer an opportunity for Zimbabwe to adopt a low-carbon and resource efficient technologies thereby reduce the generation of greenhouse gas emissions. The process of developing the Bill is a matter of urgency especially in the context of the endemic environmental challenges including climate change, droughts and extreme weather events. Stakeholders gathered in Harare to provide inputs into the proposed bill before it is tabled to Parliamentarians.
