چکیده
Executive Summary This Environmental and Climate Change Policy Brief has been written as an input to the Poverty and Development Assessment that Sida is undertaking as part of the preparation of a revised Swedish cooperation strategy with Zambia. It aims at briefly presenting key environmental sustainability challenges and opportunities (including climate change and disaster risk reduction) in Zambia, their linkages to poverty reduction and economic development and how they are addressed in the Zambian Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP). Opportunities for Sida and other development partners to supporting improved environmental management are also briefly discussed.
