Zambia cooperation crucial for combating climate change

11 May 2023  |  news.cgtn.com
Climate change poses significant global threats, impacting food production and increasing the risk of catastrophic flooding. China’s successful ecological conservation efforts, such as the 10-year ban on human activities in the Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve, offer valuable lessons for countries like Zambia. Zambia's wetlands face threats from human activities and climate change, and the government’s annual fishing ban aims to restore local fish species. Close cooperation between Zambia and China could enhance ecological protection, boost economic benefits, and address climate change consequences, ensuring food security and sustainable development.

The article discusses the challenges of solid waste management in Zambia, particularly in peri-urban areas. It highlights the legal responsibilities of local councils and the Zambia Environment Management Agency (ZEMA) to manage waste and prevent health hazards like cholera.

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) sees waste management as an opportunity for job creation. The Turkish International Co-operation and Co-ordination Agency (TIKA) has offered to assist with technical training.
