Minister of Finance, Mthuli Ncube, says next year, the government will prioritise the enactment and operationalisation of the Climate Change Management Bill, which is a critical step towards strengthening the country’s legal and institutional framework for responding to climate change. Presenting the 2026 National Budget to Parliament, Ncube said this will provide a legal foundation for coordinated climate action and inter-agency coordination and oversight in the full implementation of the National Adaptation Plan and NDC3.0.He added that the government will prioritise strengthening the institutional capacity of the Zimbabwe Carbon Markets Authority, which is essential for effective governance, oversight and regulation of the national carbon market. “This will attract results-based climate finance and enable the country to participate meaningfully in global carbon markets,” Ncube said.He highlighted that the government will start implementing the Third National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and finalise the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Bill to strengthen conservation efforts and ensure sustainable management of the country’s natural resources in 2026. The treasury chief said this will enhance biodiversity protection, support community-based conservation initiatives and align the country’s environmental policies with international commitments.He allocated ZiG510.2 million to the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Wildlife to implement climate change management programmes and projects.#ZimbabweBudget #MthuliNcube #ClimateChangeBill #CarbonMarkets #ClimateFinance #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Conservation #NDC3 #NAP ...

As delegates kicked off substantive negotiations at COP30, conversations on Tuesday quickly highlighted the diverging expectations among parties on the meeting's ultimate goals.The African Group said climate finance must be the cornerstone for implementing National Determined Contributions #NDCs, national adaptation plans #NAPs, and long-term low-emission strategies. The group called for an urgent call for the swift capitalisation of the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage.Furthermore, the African Group insisted that the just transition work programme must deliver concrete outcomes, specifically clean energy solutions, and cannot remain a dialogue. The group officially noted the African region’s endorsement of Ethiopia as the host for the 32nd session of the Conference of the Parties, COP32, to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2027.#COP30 #ClimateAction #ClimateFinance #LossAndDamage #JustTransition #Africa #UNFCCC ...
