In May 2021, the Government of the Republic of Zambia officially launched the National Land Policy. This was a milestone given that Zambia had not had a national land policy since its independence in 1964. The objectives of the land policy include, among other things, the mainstreaming of climate change, natural resources and environmental protection in land administration and management for sustainable development.

The Nordic Africa Institute is hosting a webinar where we will discuss the governance of various natural resources in Zambia and implications of the new National Land Policy on their sustainable management. Specifically, the webinar will explore the nexus between land governance and water resources, forest resources, agri-food production and regional planning. Climate change and gender will be integrated as cross cutting themes.
