Zimbabwe country climate and development report

This Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) identifies a path forward for Zimbabwe by linking demand from global green value chains to Zimbabwe’s significant reserves of energy transition minerals (ETMs), such as lithium needed for electric vehicles, in a way that: 

• Enables public and private sectors to invest in resilient low-carbon development; 
• Finances capital accumulation that could be deployed to support at-scale land restoration and increases agricultural productivity;
• Expands resilience-building social safety nets to protect the most vulnerable, helping them adapt to the expected increase in cyclical weather shocks.
