• News 2 September 2025 Building Climate Resilience in Zambia: Addressing Urban Risks and Restoring Nature Zambia is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. Its urban and peri-urban communities are increasingly exposed to alternating cycles of drought and flooding, which exacerbate  economic and non-economic losses and damages. As part of UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre’s work funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danida), a team of experts recently completed a country visit  to Zambia, advancing two key climate resilience initiatives: One focused on Loss…

• Publication 9 June 2025 Towards Implementing Nature-Based Solutions in Zambia Floods, flash floods and droughts are central climate impacts in urban areas in Zambia according to the scientific literature. This is underscored by recent examples of flash floods in Lusaka during the 2024/25 rainy season and increasing stress on Lusaka’s water supply. These impacts are likely to further aggravate as climate change intensifies. Urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) like bio-retention basins, permeable pavements and urban gardens are potential remedies for these challenges and…
• Publication 9 June 2025 Towards implementing urban Nature-based Solutions in Zambia and Mauritius Climate change and rapid urbanization are central challenges to sustainable development in cities of low and middle-income countries. Nature-based Solutions can address these challenges and offer environmental and social benefits over traditional engineered solutions, and in practice co-exist and positively complement engineered solutions. However, the uptake of NbS in urban planning remains limited and implementation faces several barriers. The need to create enabling environments that…
