EmailClimate change has emerged as one of the most important challenges affecting all
spheres of human development and livelihood including social, economic, cultural, and
political dimensions among others. According to the IPCC (20231), human activity such
as burning fossil fuels as well as unequal and unsustainable energy and land use have
led to global temperature rise of 1.1 degrees Celsius above pre -industrial levels, which
is mostly responsible for the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather
events. These extreme weather events have caused increasingly dangerous impacts on
nature and people in every region of the world. In response to this threat, countries
worldwide have agreed to develop coordinated response actions that include both
mitigation and adaptation. Zambia like many other countries that are party to the Paris
Agreement under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), has
initiated efforts aimed both at enhancing mitigation and adaptation through the
development of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and National
Adaptation Plan (NAP).
