The Ministry of Green Economy and Environment says the process of formulating the Climate Change Bill has reached an advanced stage.
Ministry of Green Economy and Environment Permanent Secretary Douty Chibamba says the bill is currently with the Ministry of Justice undergoing refinement and finalisation.
“It must be noted that the Climate Change bill is crosscutting in nature, therefore, the Bill required broader stakeholder consultation and due diligence,” Dr. Chibamba said in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
The Permanent Secretary said that government is committed to putting in place a robust bill on climate change to address the challenges of climate change.
