Ministry Of Green Economy And Environment

The Ministry Of Green Economy And Environment is a government entity located in Lusaka, Zambia. Its activities involve managing environmental resources and promoting sustainability. The Ministry's work includes implementing projects focused on building community resilience against climate change. Specifically, the Ministry's Department for Green Economy and Climate is involved in a GEF-funded project aimed at introducing Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) into priority ecosystems, including wetlands and forests in Zambia. This initiative seeks to reduce the vulnerability of communities living near wetlands and forests to climate change effects such as drought and flooding. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of government and rural communities to adapt to climate change using EbA, with specific focus areas including wetlands management, fisheries management, and district development plans relevant to the Lukanga and Bangweulu wetland systems.
