The Ministry of Environment, Climate and Wildlife, in collaboration with UNDP Zimbabwe, today convened a high-level National Stakeholder Workshop to formalise the country’s strategic transition from the COP30 negotiations to actionable domestic policy.The workshop’s primary objective is to deconstruct the international mandates established at COP30 and integrate them into Zimbabwe’s specific climate roadmap leading toward COP31.Central to the discussions is the development and implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions. As countries face mounting pressure to increase mitigation and adaptation targets, Zimbabwe is utilising this forum to align its national goals with the latest global climate science and funding mechanisms.#PostCOP30 #COP30 #COP31 #ClimateAction #NDC30 #UNDP #Zimbabwe #ZimbabweClimateAgenda #ClimateResilience #SustainableDevelopment ...

The government has approved the 2025/26 National Multi-Hazard Contingency Plan aimed at strengthening the country’s preparedness and response to natural disasters expected during the rainy season.The plan, approved by Cabinet this week, is in preparation for an upcoming rainfall season that is forecast to feature both a severe dry start and major flood risks in its core months.Addressing a post-Cabinet briefing, Information Minister Jenfan Muswere said the plan outlines national disaster preparedness, coordination systems, response mechanisms, and resource requirements to predict, prevent, mitigate, prepare for, and respond to potential emergencies associated with the 2025/2026 rainfall season.“The projected normal to above normal rainfall during the greater part of the 2025/2026 season, December 2025 to February 2026, is likely to experience extreme climate-induced events that include severe storms, hailstorms, floods, tropical cyclones, landslides and other hazards of a trans-boundary nature,” Muswere said.“The overall aim of the Plan is to strengthen capacity for preparedness and response from the national to the sub-national levels, cascading to the village level, in order to enhance timely and coordinated response to emergencies by government and stakeholders. The Plan will also instill a culture of resilience building and disaster risk reduction for sustainable development.”#Zimbabwe #Weather #climatechange #disasterpreparedness #Floods #TropicalCyclones #ClimateAction ...

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 ...
