With climate change clearly emerging as the greatest developmental challenge of our time, the best available climate science points to a need for long-term strategies that guide the transition towards green and climate-resilient economies.

In this regard, Zimbabwe has given itself an ambitious target of greening its economy by 2030. Our National Development Strategy, which will run from 2021 to 2025, has mainstreamed climate change adaptation in all sectors.

Zimbabwe has also crafted its Long-term Low Emission Development Strategy which provides a range of costed climate change mitigation options that Zimbabwe can undertake to contribute to the global goal of limiting the temperature increase to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
