Zambia’s Ministry of Green Economy and Environment pursues peace and security for green growth

In 2024, the CGIAR Research Initiative on Climate Resilience (ClimBeR) collaborated with local communities and national stakeholders, informing Zambia’s National Green Growth Strategy 2024-2030. Consequently, the strategy now includes social cohesion, peace, and stability as guiding principles for green growth. It emphasizes enhancing institutional capacity as a key enabling condition, and it includes provisions for research and training on climate, peace, and security. The Green Growth Strategy aims to foster a low-carbon and socially inclusive economy by 2030.
