The Government of Zambia aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent, conditional to increased support from the international community. Mitigation actions focus on the thematic areas of sustainable agriculture, sustainable forestry, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. Due to the high vulnerability to climatic changes, adaptation and resilience-building are priorities for the country. The NDC outlines measures summarized in three goals/programs: adaptation of strategic, productive systems (agriculture, wildlife, and water); adaptation of strategic infrastructure and health systems; and enhanced capacity building, research, technology transfer, and finance for adaptation. The Government is setting solid foundations for increased climate action. The NDC is aligned to the Vision 2030 and is mainstreamed in the Seventh National Development Plan (SeNDP, 2017-2021). Moreover, the Government prepared a National Policy on Climate Change and a costed implementation plan, as well as an NDC Implementation Plan. Moving forward, the Government is working with the NDC Partnership to translate its climate plans into a three-year results-based Partnership Plan to expedite NDC implementation. The Government also aims to enhance its current NDC, improve the regulatory framework for climate action, improve coordination and monitoring, reporting, and verification systems, and engage the private sector in climate actions.
