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.
