Concept note of the project, describing the project's objective, outcomes and outputs.
Zimbabwe presents its revised Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) which represents a fair and ambitious 7% increase in emission reduction from 33% in the first NDC to 40% in this revised NDC. Unlike the first NDC which covered only the Energy Sector, this NDC makes progress towards an economy-wide NDC as it includes the Waste, Industrial Processes and Product Use and; the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land-Use Sectors. In addition, the revised NDC presents adaptation action in response to the country’s high vulnerability to climate change impacts.
Complete project proposal, including objective, outputs, activities, workplan and budget.
The Government of Zimbabwe is committed to taking urgent action to mitigate and adapt to the effects of Climate Change. Zimbabwe’s Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS) sets the course for reducing emissions, while at the same time ensuring sustainable socio-economic development for the country. It is based on the government’s economic planning up to 2050 and covers mitigation measures across the four key sectors of Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Waste.
