Climate Change policies
Zambia's Green Economy and Climate Change Act, 2024: This establishes a legal framework for carbon markets, climate mitigation, adaptation, and environmental safeguards. As a result of this policies, the Government has introduced tax measures that promote the importation and use of renewable energy in the country. Although, the policy is very good, it has struggled to achieve its intended goals because the free market environment where sellers have continued to charge high prices on the products beyond the reach of most of the citizens. Poor and marginalised citizens continue to use charcoal for cooking, thereby reversing the gains being achieved in climate change mitigation efforts.
