Zambia Introduces Three Policies to Strengthen Governance, Service Delivery, and Community Development

“These policies are pillars of our environmental stewardship and green economic growth,” Minister of Green Economy and Environment Mike Elton Mposha said during an event in Lusaka.

More details on the developments:

The National Forestry Policy aims to shield communities from environmental shocks while promoting income sources like beekeeping and alternatives to timber.

The National Meteorology Policy will upgrade forecasting and early-warning systems, helping communities better prepare for droughts, floods, and storms.

The National Environmental Policy tackles waste, pollution, land degradation, and unplanned settlements while aligning Zambia with regional and international environmental goals.
