READ MOREIn the 2015 INDC, the 33% reduction in per capita energy sector emissions implies that in 2030, instead of emitting 64 million tonnes CO 2-eq emissions from the energy sector, Zimbabwe''s energy sector emissions will be 42.7 million tonnes. In contrast, the updated NDC estimates that total energy sector GHG emissions will be

READ MOREZimbabwe remains vulnerable to climatic shocks and without adaptation, climate change will impose high costs on the economy, getting progressively larger over time, and this could cost nearly 5 percent of GDP annually by 2050. To mitigate the impact, Zimbabwe can take immediate low-cost and ''no-regrets'' climate actions to build
READ MOREWhat is Low Emission Development? Low Emission Development or Low Carbon Development is generally used to describe forward‐ looking national economic development that encompass low‐emission and/or climate‐resilient economic growth (OECD, IEA 2010) It is important to note that the interventions
READ MORE2010-2019 is the warmest decade on record. On the current path of carbon dioxide emissions, the global temperature is expected to increase by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius by the end of century. To avoid the worst of warming (maximum 1.5°C rise), the world will need to decrease fossil fuel production by roughly 6 per cent per year between 2020 and 2030.
READ MOREZimbabwe increased its carbon emissions reduction target to 40% from an initial 33% by widening industries to include not just energy, but waste, industrial processes and agriculture.

READ MOREEmission reduction target The INDC emission reduction target was a 33% reduction in energy-related emissions per capita compared to BAU by 2030, conditional on international support. In the mitigation scenario, energy-related emissions per capita were projected to be 2.21 tCO 2 eq in 2030. The updated target is a 40% reduction

Alongside our efforts to reduce our emissions, these projects help us fulfill our commitment to running our firm in a way that is environmentally sustainable.
READ MOREThe purpose of this chapter was to evaluate the status of air quality monitoring and management in Zimbabwe through a bibliometric review. A search on an online database Scopus was conducted for the period 1990–2021 yielding a total of 25 air quality studies. Estimates are that a 1% reduction in carbon emissions can possibly
READ MOREBut the framework also stipulates that the government should take 50% of the total revenue generated from carbon credit-projects, while foreign and local investors will be roughly entitled to 30% and 20% respectively. Earlier in the year, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that the generation of carbon credits in Zimbabwe needed to be
READ MOREThe Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project determined that in order to hold the global temperature rise to 2˚C or less, everyone on earth will need to average an annual carbon footprint of 1.87 tons by 2050.
