Contextually, the Sadc region continues to suffer from the effects of climate change, and Zimbabwe has not been spared by the temperature extremities and rainfall variabilities that often precipitate into droughts. This has created a water crisis, both in urban and rural areas, further exacerbated by water leakages, contaminations, and inefficiencies in our traditional water systems.
Speaking on the occasion of the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa highlighted the benefits of integration amongst Sadc member states, including guaranteeing food security, energy efficiency, and economic prosperity. To demonstrate Zimbabwe’s commitment to climate action, His Excellency also shared his government’s greenhouse reduction targets by the year 2030.
