Among the key assets most exposed to hazards include: dams, sewer lines, roads/bridges, powerlines, buildings, telecommunication facilities, mine shafts, recreation facilities, manufacturing plants, irrigation infrastructure (as of 2017, Zimbabwe’s land area under irrigation totalled 110,832 ha15) and post-harvest crop storage facilities.', 'Among the key assets most exposed to hazards include: dams, sewer lines, roads/bridges, powerlines, buildings, telecommunication facilities, mine shafts, recreation facilities, manufacturing plants, irrigation infrastructure (as of 2017, Zimbabwe’s land area under irrigation totalled 110,832 ha15) and post-harvest crop storage facilities. Impacts Following extreme weather events, assets can suffer physical damages that limit or prevent their functioning. For example, tropical Cyclone Idai and the resultant flooding and landslides in March 2019 destroyed bridges, roads, telecommunications infrastructure, agricultural land, crops/livestock and several buildings/houses with 270,000 people in Zimbabwe affected.

As a result, their provision of ecosystem services is also reduced.', 'As a result, their provision of ecosystem services is also reduced. These services include food supply, water purification, soil stabilisation and health, timber and fibre supply, touristic attraction, genetic diversity, nutrient recycling, flood control, and runoff modulation. Impacts The 1991/1992 rain season experienced the most extreme drought event in the past 3 decades. This episode reduced water discharge over Victoria Falls, plant biodiversity in the rainforest, and resulted in the death of about 148 elephants in the Hwange National park and about 1,500 in Gonarezhou National Park. Water shortages, lack of grazing and heat stress threaten the survival of wildlife species, especially those sensitive to heat, such as elephants. Droughts have continued to have similar impacts on ecological systems and biodiversity in recent years, most notably in 2018.', 'Droughts have continued to have similar impacts on ecological systems and biodiversity in recent years, most notably in 2018. A recent study in Hwange National park projected a reduction of 40% of elephant habitat by 2050 and a change in elephant population distribution because of climate change16. Other factors that will increase elephants’ vulnerability to climate change include the increased spread of diseases, moderate genetic diversity, and slow reproductive rates.17 Impacts on these natural assets affects all sectors that rely on their provision of ecosystem services.', 'Other factors that will increase elephants’ vulnerability to climate change include the increased spread of diseases, moderate genetic diversity, and slow reproductive rates.17 Impacts on these natural assets affects all sectors that rely on their provision of ecosystem services. For example, higher evaporation rates cause reduced availability of water from surface and groundwater resources, which, in turn, leads to: • Decreased crop yield and crop failure in agriculture • Fluctuating availability, quality, and cost of agricultural raw materials for industry • Reduced hydro-electric power output from the energy sector • Constrained processing in the mining sector • Decreased attractiveness of tourism destinations • Sanitation constraints and increased burden of water-borne diseases for the health sector 16 Mpakairi, K.S., Ndaimani, H., Tagwireyi, P., et al.

Harare.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 11 • Increased burdens for women, as they have to walk long distances and spend more time in search of water for domestic purposes. Women and children also more pronouncedly suffer the social consequences of a crisis situation, in which protection mechanisms are minimal. Other impacts on natural assets include loss of biodiversity; forest and fauna species’ migration; alteration in migration patterns and biodiversity corridors; and increases in pests and invasive species. Pests, such as the fall armyworm, tomato leaf miner, cotton mealybug, larger grain borer and other newcomer pests, are adapted to shifting weather patterns and are already adversely affecting farmers in Zimbabwe.', 'Pests, such as the fall armyworm, tomato leaf miner, cotton mealybug, larger grain borer and other newcomer pests, are adapted to shifting weather patterns and are already adversely affecting farmers in Zimbabwe. The invasion of fall armyworm in 2016 caused maize yield losses estimated at 263,000 tons (about $83 million in value). Low rainfall conditions, for example during the 2015–2016 drought, caused livestock disease rates to increase, accounting for 61% of reported cattle deaths, particularly in Manicaland and Masvingo provinces. Between November 2017 and May 2018, a combination of late, heavy rains and a shortage in cattle dip led to over 3,000 cattle perishing from tick-borne diseases, primarily Theileriosis. Social capital Exposure Zimbabwe’s societal stability relies on norms, relationships and networks, social structure and cohesion, and institutions and laws.', 'Social capital Exposure Zimbabwe’s societal stability relies on norms, relationships and networks, social structure and cohesion, and institutions and laws. These are all exposed to impacts resulting from climate variability and change. Impacts Climate impacts, including from extreme weather events, lead to seasonal and forced migration in search of livelihood opportunities. Men and the able-bodied migrate, altering the social structure of communities by leaving women behind and responsible for agricultural production in rural areas. The search for water, sufficient rainfall, fertile soils and good pastures for livestock has also triggered climate migrants who have settled at water sources, wetlands, riverbanks and grazing lands. The worst affected areas are in Manicaland Province.', 'The worst affected areas are in Manicaland Province. These new illegal and unplanned settlements pose social, economic and administrative challenges and generate natural-resource-use conflicts at a local level, and precipitate heightened environmental degradation in fragile ecosystems. Forced migration also hinders development by increasing pressures on urban infrastructure and services and increasing competition over scarce resources, thereby increasing the risk of conflict and resulting in worse health, education and other social outcomes among migrants. On the other hand, climate variability and change also has impacts on institutions, as it strengthens the need for implementing adaptation and social policies alongside economic growth. The Zimbabwe National Development Strategy (2021-2025) framework, for example, captures “Environment Protection, Climate Resilience and Natural Resources Management” as a national priority to achieve sustainable socio-economic development.', 'The Zimbabwe National Development Strategy (2021-2025) framework, for example, captures “Environment Protection, Climate Resilience and Natural Resources Management” as a national priority to achieve sustainable socio-economic development. Financial capital Exposure Incomes, savings, credit, insurance, and employment held by all citizens and/ or businesses are exposed to climate variability and change. Vulnerable groups with limited or insecure access to financial services and informal businesses are particularly exposed and represent a majority of the rural area population (65%). In 2012, only a few women (3%) and men (4%) were served by other formal financial institutions, such as insurance companies.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 Impacts During droughts or floods, crop yields reductions lead to income losses from farmers. The estimated value of crop losses each year is US $126 million.', 'The estimated value of crop losses each year is US $126 million. In 2001, the estimated loss was US $321 million, increasing to US $513 million in 2008. At the same time, families face a decrease in savings, as product prices increase during drought years by 30 to 40%, increasing households’ expenditures. During the 2015–2016 drought the price of cattle in high rainfall areas ranged from $350–$450, but communities in drought-affected districts were selling cattle for as little as $20 - $60 to buy food. Reduced supplies of agricultural raw materials also reduce employment opportunities in industry and commerce, as was the case during the extreme drought of 1991/92 when a number of industries faced closure, particularly in the City of Bulawayo.', 'Reduced supplies of agricultural raw materials also reduce employment opportunities in industry and commerce, as was the case during the extreme drought of 1991/92 when a number of industries faced closure, particularly in the City of Bulawayo. In addition, insurance products are less available, as insurers run higher covariate risks, which are anathema to statistical models of insurance, as extreme events are more widespread and affect many clients at once. 3.3 Projected Climate Change in Zimbabwe Projected climate changes faced by Zimbabwe have been identified from review of the ICLEI Risk and Vulnerability Assessment Report (2020) and of relevant data included in the NAP development process.18 Overall, the country is projected to experience a progressive reduction in precipitation, increase in temperatures, increasingly volatile weather events, and less dependable seasons.', '3.3 Projected Climate Change in Zimbabwe Projected climate changes faced by Zimbabwe have been identified from review of the ICLEI Risk and Vulnerability Assessment Report (2020) and of relevant data included in the NAP development process.18 Overall, the country is projected to experience a progressive reduction in precipitation, increase in temperatures, increasingly volatile weather events, and less dependable seasons. Based on CORDEX data for Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios,19 there is high confidence that Zimbabwe’s mean annual temperatures will increase by 1 to 1.5°C by 2040 from a 1986-2005 baseline. Droughts will increase in frequency and intensity. The increase in Zimbabwe’s mean annual temperatures could potentially exceed 3°C by 2050, depending on the actual global emissions pathway achieved.', 'The increase in Zimbabwe’s mean annual temperatures could potentially exceed 3°C by 2050, depending on the actual global emissions pathway achieved.

This will induce shorter rainy seasons and shifts in the timing of their onset and cessation.', 'This will induce shorter rainy seasons and shifts in the timing of their onset and cessation. The intensity of rainfall events is projected to increase, which may increase flood events. However, projections of the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, particularly cyclones, are uncertain. The spatial distribution of projected rainfall is shown in Figure 2. This highlights that the Southern and Eastern geographies of Zimbabwe are projected to experience the most significant decreases in rainfall between 2020 and 2080.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 Figure 2: Spatial distribution of Zimbabwe mean annual Climate Research Unit (CRU) rainfall for the 3.4 Adaptation measures Direct and indirect exposure to climate-related hazards, shocks and stressors are already causing adverse impacts on Zimbabwe’s human, physical, natural, social and financial capital.', 'This highlights that the Southern and Eastern geographies of Zimbabwe are projected to experience the most significant decreases in rainfall between 2020 and 2080.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 Figure 2: Spatial distribution of Zimbabwe mean annual Climate Research Unit (CRU) rainfall for the 3.4 Adaptation measures Direct and indirect exposure to climate-related hazards, shocks and stressors are already causing adverse impacts on Zimbabwe’s human, physical, natural, social and financial capital.

At this stage and for the summative purposes of this high-level NDC report, Zimbabwe is initially focusing on four high-level priority adaptation measures, namely to: • Develop, implement and scale-up climate smart agriculture solutions and strengthen agricultural value chains and markets; • Enhance early warning and climate-related disaster risk reduction systems (including information management systems); • Ensure climate resilient infrastructure designs and development; and • Develop and promote resilient and sustainable water resources management, 20 Zimbabwe Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (2021)Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 15 Table 2 below summarises these actions in greater detail.', 'At this stage and for the summative purposes of this high-level NDC report, Zimbabwe is initially focusing on four high-level priority adaptation measures, namely to: • Develop, implement and scale-up climate smart agriculture solutions and strengthen agricultural value chains and markets; • Enhance early warning and climate-related disaster risk reduction systems (including information management systems); • Ensure climate resilient infrastructure designs and development; and • Develop and promote resilient and sustainable water resources management, 20 Zimbabwe Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (2021)Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 15 Table 2 below summarises these actions in greater detail. On-going development of the NAP will lead to a more expansive list of adaptation measures.', 'On-going development of the NAP will lead to a more expansive list of adaptation measures. Once the NAP has been finalised, Zimbabwe has the option under the Paris Agreement to update its NDC to include the more expansive list of adaptation measures that speak to the economy-wide vulnerabilities to climate change and re-submit it to the UNFCCC prior to the end of the next five-year cycle. Gender will be mainstreamed throughout the implementation of all adaptation measures. This will ensure that gender-biases are prevented when planning for their implementation, and that the measures can also directly target gender inequality as an important factor of vulnerability to climate change.', 'This will ensure that gender-biases are prevented when planning for their implementation, and that the measures can also directly target gender inequality as an important factor of vulnerability to climate change. Similarly, the measures will also consider the role of the youth as a way to provide opportunities for employment and skills development, and to ensure that youth perspectives are represented when planning for implementation.', 'Similarly, the measures will also consider the role of the youth as a way to provide opportunities for employment and skills development, and to ensure that youth perspectives are represented when planning for implementation. Table 2: Priority adaptation measures Measure 1 Develop, implement and scale-up climate smart agriculture solutions and strengthen the resilience of agricultural value chains and markets Description Zimbabwe will promote the use and roll-out of gender sensitive climate-smart agriculture technologies and practices such as land and water resources conservation, sustainable mechanisation, agro-ecology, water-efficient irrigation, renewable energy and energy efficiency, climate adapted crop types/varieties and livestock types/breeds, crop/livestock diversification, agro-forestry, integrated pest and disease management, post-harvest technologies, improved livestock management, fodder production and livestock feeding strategies, silvi-pastoral systems.', 'Table 2: Priority adaptation measures Measure 1 Develop, implement and scale-up climate smart agriculture solutions and strengthen the resilience of agricultural value chains and markets Description Zimbabwe will promote the use and roll-out of gender sensitive climate-smart agriculture technologies and practices such as land and water resources conservation, sustainable mechanisation, agro-ecology, water-efficient irrigation, renewable energy and energy efficiency, climate adapted crop types/varieties and livestock types/breeds, crop/livestock diversification, agro-forestry, integrated pest and disease management, post-harvest technologies, improved livestock management, fodder production and livestock feeding strategies, silvi-pastoral systems. Zimbabwe will also implement actions that focus on: (i) increasing resource-use efficiency along the agricultural value chain (ii) supporting value addition to agricultural products (iii) improving market access for women and youth farmers in remote areas, (iv) minimizing waste, and (v) reducing inequalities along agricultural value chains.', 'Zimbabwe will also implement actions that focus on: (i) increasing resource-use efficiency along the agricultural value chain (ii) supporting value addition to agricultural products (iii) improving market access for women and youth farmers in remote areas, (iv) minimizing waste, and (v) reducing inequalities along agricultural value chains. Agricultural value-chains largely employ women. Implementing this measure thus requires actions that consider gender barriers to accessing information and resources (such as lack of collateral, illiteracy, etc), as well as actions that directly address gender inequalities (i.e. supporting women in accessing collateral and finance, reducing the burden of work, etc). Adaptation benefits Actions under this measure are expected to increase adaptive capacity by providing the technology and tools necessary to increase efficiency of agricultural production.', 'Adaptation benefits Actions under this measure are expected to increase adaptive capacity by providing the technology and tools necessary to increase efficiency of agricultural production. This would allow sustainable use of resources, such as water and soil in the long-term, thereby reducing sensitivity of water and ecosystems. Adaptive capacity would also be improved by providing the tools to anticipate future changes in climate and adjust production accordingly. Finally, actions would reduce sensitivity to climate change by expanding the use of climate-resilient breeds of crops and livestock. Strengthening the resilience of agricultural value chains and resource use efficiency is expected to reduce the sensitivity of water, energy, waste, and biodiversity sector to climate change and variabilty.', 'Strengthening the resilience of agricultural value chains and resource use efficiency is expected to reduce the sensitivity of water, energy, waste, and biodiversity sector to climate change and variabilty. Industry and commerce’s sensitivity would also decrease through increased stability of the agriculture value chain.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 10, 11, 12, 13. In particular, it would reduce sensitivity of women and youth by providing them with the knowledge and skills to maintain agricultural production throughout varying climate, and to diversify their sources of income beyond production. As agricultural value-chains largely employ women, they are more at risk of unemployment when the industry is exposed. Strengthening the resilience of the agriculture industry hence contributes to reducing women’s chances of unemployment due to climate change21.', 'Strengthening the resilience of the agriculture industry hence contributes to reducing women’s chances of unemployment due to climate change21. Widespread adoption of climate-smart agriculture, including conservation tillage, would contribute to mitigation efforts by increasing resource-use efficiency and increasing capacity of healthier soils to capture and sequester carbon. Incorporation of legumes in crop rotations has the potential to significantly reduce nitrogen fertilizer demand and ammonium nitrate fertilizer production thus driving a corresponding reduction in nitrous oxide emissions.', 'Incorporation of legumes in crop rotations has the potential to significantly reduce nitrogen fertilizer demand and ammonium nitrate fertilizer production thus driving a corresponding reduction in nitrous oxide emissions. Measure 2 Enhance early warning and climate-related disaster risk reduction systems (including information management systems) Description Zimbabwe will take steps to: (i) enhance early warning systems, including through better information management systems (ii) provide the systems and knowledge to manage disaster risks at national and community-level, and (ii) support the coordination of responses to climate hazards and to climate impacts across sectors and geographies. Adaptation benefits Actions under this measure would benefit all sectors by increasing their adaptive capacity through improving knowledge of future events and improving systems to prevent, prepare for, and/or manage their consequences.', 'Adaptation benefits Actions under this measure would benefit all sectors by increasing their adaptive capacity through improving knowledge of future events and improving systems to prevent, prepare for, and/or manage their consequences. Adaptation activities would reduce exposure of key vulnerable groups located in hazard-prone areas by allowing them to relocate when hazards are foreseen. Co-benefits This measure is expected to contribute to achieving all SDGs, except SDGs 14 and 16. Investments in disaster risk reduction would also reduce the costs of rehabilitation and reconstruction, thereby providing wider economic and social benefits.', 'Investments in disaster risk reduction would also reduce the costs of rehabilitation and reconstruction, thereby providing wider economic and social benefits. Measure 3 Ensure climate-resilient infrastructure and design Description Zimbabwe will implement actions that: (i) provide the means and incentives for new infrastructure to be planned, designed, built and operated while accounting for future climate change, including extreme-weather events, and (ii) facilitate retro-fitting of previously built infrastructure to ensure it is resilient to future climate events. This measure applies to infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, telecommunications infrastructure, water infrastructures like dams, sewages, drains, water supply pipes, pumps. It also includes actions that use energy generating technologies (wind, photovoltaic solar) that are not reliant on climate-sensitive hydrological resources. 21 UNDP (2021).', 'It also includes actions that use energy generating technologies (wind, photovoltaic solar) that are not reliant on climate-sensitive hydrological resources. 21 UNDP (2021).

Urban areas would benefit most. Urban populations would also benefit from a reduction in potential damage to infrastructure and related risks to people. Reducing the climate sensitivity of the energy sector would indirectly reduce the climate sensitivity of the many sectors that are reliant on energy supply. 11, 13. Enhancing the use of renewable energy sources would deliver mitigation benefits.', 'Enhancing the use of renewable energy sources would deliver mitigation benefits. Measure 4 Develop and promote resilient water resources management Description Zimbabwe will implement actions which: (i) support the use of best available hydro-climatic information to improve water resource management (water resource assessment), (ii) explore options to increase water supply from surface and underground (water demand management and water use), considering gender differences in water supply and access, and (iii) support the management of extreme events (integrated flood management, drought management). Adaptation benefits All sectors are vulnerable to climate change as a result of water scarcity. Actions under this measure are expected to increase their adaptive capacity by providing the tools and knowledge to better manage water resources and to reduce their sensitivity by increasing the availability of water.', 'Actions under this measure are expected to increase their adaptive capacity by providing the tools and knowledge to better manage water resources and to reduce their sensitivity by increasing the availability of water. Co-benefits This measure is expected to contribute to achieving all SDGs. As a large number of women are responsible for collecting water for households, they lack the time and resources to focus on other income-generating activities. By improving the availability and supply of water, this measure would also benefit women directly by reducing their burden associated with fetching water, allowing them to access other productive activities. Increases in water efficiency will also bring mitigation benefits, as less resources would be used in water provision.', 'Increases in water efficiency will also bring mitigation benefits, as less resources would be used in water provision. Furthermore, crop and pasture productivity would increase, which would increase carbon-capture capacity through roots and residues, all other things being equal.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 4 Mitigation priorities and actions Zimbabwe strongly supports the objectives of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2°C whilst pursuing efforts towards further reduction to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This section presents Zimbabwe’s updated national emission baseline and target. The updated mitigation contribution draws on an economy wide GHG mitigation assessment and Zimbabwe’s Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS).', 'The updated mitigation contribution draws on an economy wide GHG mitigation assessment and Zimbabwe’s Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS). The GHG emissions inventory was compiled using the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and a Zimbabwe emissions model was developed using the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP). First, historical (2010-2017) and projected emissions (2018-2030) were assessed to produce a Business-as-Usual (BAU) scenario without mitigation. The baseline projection scenario is based on key national documents, mainly NDS1, accounting for the impact of COVID-19 and the LEDS.22 Second, a revised mitigation scenario was developed through an evaluation of the GHG emission reduction potential of key plans and policies that have been put in place in Zimbabwe since 2015. A total of 70 mitigation measures were identified from existing plans, strategies and policies.', 'A total of 70 mitigation measures were identified from existing plans, strategies and policies. A shortlist of 17 mitigation actions were selected to be included in the NDC based on agreed selection criteria including their mitigation potential, indicative implementation timeline and plans, and alignment with national development goals and targets. Whilst the INDC only covered energy-related emissions, Zimbabwe’s revised baseline and mitigation target has been expanded to include emissions from all sectors, including Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU), and Waste. This is a significant increase in ambition from the INDC. On average, the Forestry and Other Land Use sector alone was the largest net GHG emitting sector between 2010 and 2017, with average net emission of 13 million tonnes.', 'On average, the Forestry and Other Land Use sector alone was the largest net GHG emitting sector between 2010 and 2017, with average net emission of 13 million tonnes. Additionally, the scope of gases covered by the mitigation contribution has been expanded to include Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and Black Carbon (a short-lived climate pollutant), in addition to the carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from the INDC. Co-emitted air pollutants were also included in the analysis.23 The table below outlines the coverage of sectors and GHGs in the Revised NDC.', 'Co-emitted air pollutants were also included in the analysis.23 The table below outlines the coverage of sectors and GHGs in the Revised NDC. Based on this analysis, Zimbabwe has strengthened its mitigation contribution to be a 40% reduction in per capita GHG emissions below the projected business as usual scenario, a significant 7% increase from the 33% reduction in per capita emissions targeted for the INDC. Achieving this increased target will require considerable support from the international community. The 40% per capita emissions reduction target is therefore conditional on such support being forthcoming and provided in a timely manner. Zimbabwe looks forward to working closely with partners to implement this updated NDC and to deliver on its increased ambition.', 'Zimbabwe looks forward to working closely with partners to implement this updated NDC and to deliver on its increased ambition. 22 This revised BAU scenario projected per capita GHG emissions in the energy sector in 2030 to be substantially lower than the equivalent figure in the INDC. This is likely due to the lower estimates of economic growth caused the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as smaller increases in GHG emissions in recent years compared to the INDC projections for those years.', 'This is likely due to the lower estimates of economic growth caused the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as smaller increases in GHG emissions in recent years compared to the INDC projections for those years. 23 PM2.5, NOx, Sulphur Dioxide, non-methane VOCs, carbon monoxideZimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 19 Table 3: Coverage of sectors and GHGs in the Revised NDC IPCC Sectors covered in baseline Economic sectors covered in mitigation actions Gases Energy (Consumption across all sectors) Power generation and transmission Road transportation Residential households Manufacturing industry, construction CO , N O, CH IPPU Cement production Ferro alloy, Iron and steel Fertiliser production Air-conditioning, refrigeration CO , N O, HFCs AFOLU Forestry Agriculture Other Land Use CO , N O, CH Waste Municipal Solid waste management CH 4.1 The current status in terms of total GHG emissions The analysis carried out to inform the NDC update estimates that in 2017, Zimbabwe’s net GHG emissions were 35.84 MtCO eq.24 The Energy sector; and Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector contributed the majority of the emissions in 2017 (33% and 54%, respectively), followed by Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), and Waste.', '23 PM2.5, NOx, Sulphur Dioxide, non-methane VOCs, carbon monoxideZimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 19 Table 3: Coverage of sectors and GHGs in the Revised NDC IPCC Sectors covered in baseline Economic sectors covered in mitigation actions Gases Energy (Consumption across all sectors) Power generation and transmission Road transportation Residential households Manufacturing industry, construction CO , N O, CH IPPU Cement production Ferro alloy, Iron and steel Fertiliser production Air-conditioning, refrigeration CO , N O, HFCs AFOLU Forestry Agriculture Other Land Use CO , N O, CH Waste Municipal Solid waste management CH 4.1 The current status in terms of total GHG emissions The analysis carried out to inform the NDC update estimates that in 2017, Zimbabwe’s net GHG emissions were 35.84 MtCO eq.24 The Energy sector; and Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector contributed the majority of the emissions in 2017 (33% and 54%, respectively), followed by Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), and Waste.

Zimbabwe is a highly vulnerable country to the impacts of climate change and the priority is to enhance climate resilience.', 'Zimbabwe is a highly vulnerable country to the impacts of climate change and the priority is to enhance climate resilience. Furthermore, Zimbabwe is a small contributor to global emissions, contributing only 0.07% of global emissions in 2017.25 Despite this, Zimbabwe is committed to ensuring a fair contribution to the Paris Agreement by demonstrating enhanced ambition, through an expansion of the mitigation contribution. Zimbabwe’s INDC target covered only the energy sector whilst the revised NDC is now economy-wide with an increased emissions reduction target. The mitigation contribution outlined above is conditional on appropriate international support. The total investment cost of meeting the mitigation contribution is approximately US$4,834.47 million.', 'The total investment cost of meeting the mitigation contribution is approximately US$4,834.47 million. However, it should be noted that not all of this will be new additional cost – some of the investments are already being made for non-climate reasons, for example investments into the energy sector. Furthermore, the cost data does not take into account the expected benefits of climate action, both in terms of avoiding future climate change but also from co-benefits such as green jobs, improved health and air quality and better access to energy. As explained in section 4, the scope of gases covered by the mitigation contribution has been expanded to include Hydrofluorocarbons and Black Carbon. These compounds were assessed for their mitigation potential as well as any co-benefits associated.', 'These compounds were assessed for their mitigation potential as well as any co-benefits associated. For this reason, co-emitted air pollutants were also included in the analysis. All actions will be implemented subject to availability of affordable international financial support, investment, ability to leverage domestic resources, technology development and transfer and capacity development. The various funding, technology and capacity mechanisms related to the Convention such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), Adaptation Fund, Global Environment Facility (GEF) and continued investment by development partners in the national climate change discourse will be critical.', 'The various funding, technology and capacity mechanisms related to the Convention such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), Adaptation Fund, Global Environment Facility (GEF) and continued investment by development partners in the national climate change discourse will be critical. 4.5 Co-benefits of identified mitigation measures Adaptation is the over-riding priority for Zimbabwe given her vulnerability profile, an assessment of all the proposed mitigation actions was done to understand any impacts on climate resilience, positive or negative. Several mitigation measures included in the revised NDC have adaptation and broader sustainable development co-benefits including but not limited to the following: • Increased uptake of biogas will lead to improved air quality, health and gender outcomes.', 'Several mitigation measures included in the revised NDC have adaptation and broader sustainable development co-benefits including but not limited to the following: • Increased uptake of biogas will lead to improved air quality, health and gender outcomes. • Increased forested land and forest plantations will lead to improvements in soil stability, soil quality, groundwater quality, regulation of surface runoff, etc. thereby decreasing the sensitivity of all sectors that rely on these ecosystems. • Increased composting and waste-to-energy processing will result in employment creation and reduced pollution to soil and water bodies.', '• Increased composting and waste-to-energy processing will result in employment creation and reduced pollution to soil and water bodies. 25 Global GHG emissions including land-use change in 2017 were 53.5 GtCO eq (UN Environment Emissions Gap Report 2018), Zimbabwe total GHG emissions of 37.98 MtCO eq taken from LEAP modelling.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 23 • Increased energy efficiency, reduced transmission and distribution losses and increased electricity supply from solar and waste-to-energy projects will reduce supply constraints and reliance on climate-sensitive hydropower. • Improved fuel efficiency will lead to reduced fuel imports, improving Zimbabwe’s balance of trade and macroeconomic stability. • Increased public transport will lead to increased mobility for low-income populations. Zimbabwe is determined to ensure a just transition to a climate resilient, low carbon economy.', 'Zimbabwe is determined to ensure a just transition to a climate resilient, low carbon economy. This means ensuring that the benefits of delivering such an economy are widely shared, and that support is provided to those that may be at risk from the move to a green economy, for example those that currently work in polluting industries. The just transition concept links to 14 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, explicitly drawing together SDGs 13 – climate action, 10 – reduced inequalities, 8 – decent work and economic growth, and 7 - affordable and clean energy. 26 The Government of Zimbabwe recognises that gender equality is central to climate action and a prerequisite for poverty reduction, food and nutrition security and sustainable development.', '26 The Government of Zimbabwe recognises that gender equality is central to climate action and a prerequisite for poverty reduction, food and nutrition security and sustainable development. As part of the update of the NDC, an assessment was made of the potential gender impacts of the policies and measures needed to deliver the mitigation contribution, drawing on previous analysis.27 As a result of this analysis the many gender-related benefits of the measures in each sector were highlighted to help Zimbabwe plan future policies in a way that mitigates potential negative impacts on gender equality. Ensuring the representation and participation of all Zimbabweans in the development and implementation of the NDC is critical to ensuring its effectiveness.', 'Ensuring the representation and participation of all Zimbabweans in the development and implementation of the NDC is critical to ensuring its effectiveness. In particular, the issues of youth and gender must be considered integral to the process. The specific sensitivities and vulnerabilities of young people and women to the impacts of climate change and their essential role in achieving the emissions reductions targets demonstrate their importance as key stakeholders in the achievement of Zimbabwe’s revised NDC. 4.6 Sector level mitigation actions 4.6.1 Energy sector The energy sector, including transport, is currently the second biggest contributor to total national GHG emissions in Zimbabwe, accounting for 33% of GHG emissions in 2017.', '4.6 Sector level mitigation actions 4.6.1 Energy sector The energy sector, including transport, is currently the second biggest contributor to total national GHG emissions in Zimbabwe, accounting for 33% of GHG emissions in 2017.

The main challenge is a lack of funding for large capital projects. The electricity grid will also require upgrading in order to accommodate the numerous renewable energy projects that are planned. Several mitigation projects have been excluded from this analysis for either being unfeasible for the planning horizon in question, 2030, (the large hydropower generation projects), for lack of data availability (the livestock subsector), or for lack of a clear local implementing agency to advance that particular project (efficient cook-stoves). This framework extends to the other IPCC mitigation sectors below.', 'This framework extends to the other IPCC mitigation sectors below. Co-benefits: A number of benefits are anticipated from mainly energy efficiency and renewable energy production policies with few risks identified. Many of the measures are likely to lead to creation of green jobs but ameliorative action might need to be taken to soften the blow of job losses (for example from moving from smaller commuter omni-buses to bigger buses to curb emissions from public transport).', 'Many of the measures are likely to lead to creation of green jobs but ameliorative action might need to be taken to soften the blow of job losses (for example from moving from smaller commuter omni-buses to bigger buses to curb emissions from public transport). 28 Government of Zimbabwe Financial and Macro-economic Analysis of the Implications of Zimbabwe’s NDC Implementation, and Elaboration of a Climate Finance Strategy for NDC Implementation (2021).Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 25 4.6.2 Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) Industrial processes and product use (IPPU) relates specifically to emissions from industrial processes which transform physically and chemically materials and emissions from the use of products.', '28 Government of Zimbabwe Financial and Macro-economic Analysis of the Implications of Zimbabwe’s NDC Implementation, and Elaboration of a Climate Finance Strategy for NDC Implementation (2021).Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 25 4.6.2 Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) Industrial processes and product use (IPPU) relates specifically to emissions from industrial processes which transform physically and chemically materials and emissions from the use of products. Energy use and efficiency in industry is covered in the energy sector analysis together with combustion of fuels in industry. The GHG modelling shows that emissions from the IPPU sector contributed 1.2 MtCO eq (3.3%) to Zimbabwe’s 2017 emissions, compared with 0.7 MtCO eq (2.2%) in 2010, which is an increase of approximately 0.47 MtCO eq (1.1%) over the period.', 'The GHG modelling shows that emissions from the IPPU sector contributed 1.2 MtCO eq (3.3%) to Zimbabwe’s 2017 emissions, compared with 0.7 MtCO eq (2.2%) in 2010, which is an increase of approximately 0.47 MtCO eq (1.1%) over the period. The largest contributions to emissions in the sector originated from ferrochrome production (37%), followed by cement production (32%), the consumption of HFCs (25%), chemical production (6%), and insignificant amounts from non-energy fuel use, lime production, lead and iron and steel production.

The GHG emissions in the AFOLU sector have been increasing in the past 30 years.', 'The GHG emissions in the AFOLU sector have been increasing in the past 30 years. Historical emission and removals data from the Zimbabwe’s first Biennial Update Report to the UNFCCC shows that the AFOLU sector was a net sink between 1990 and 1993, however, the sector became an increasing net source from 1994 to 2017. The major drivers of emissions and removals in this sector include deforestation due to agricultural expansion, fuelwood gathering, increased livestock, commercial logging, veld fires, harvesting construction timber, illegal settlements and mining, tobacco curing and charcoal making. Several mitigation measures were identified and considered for mitigation analysis in the AFOLU sector.', 'Several mitigation measures were identified and considered for mitigation analysis in the AFOLU sector. However, only four mitigation measures were feasible in this first NDC revision as some could not meet the criteria for meaningful mitigation analysis (for example, no clear local implementing agency or lack of robust data to allow for emissions estimates), and this was the case for the livestock and climate-smart agriculture subsector notwithstanding their conceptual role in driving emissions from the agricultural sector. Consequently, four mitigation measures selected for this round of NDC revision are listed in Table 7 below.', 'Consequently, four mitigation measures selected for this round of NDC revision are listed in Table 7 below.

Since 1990, GHG emissions from the waste sector gradually increased, reaching 1.76 MtCO eq in 2017. The increase from 1990-2005 and 2011-2017 was due to increased generation and collection rates while the dip from 2006-2011 was attributed to the economic recession with low collection rates for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Compared to 1990, emissions in 2017 increased due to increase in volumes of MSW received at the landfill.

The principal government policy for achieving Vision 2030 is the National Development Strategy (NDS1), 2021 to 2025.', 'The principal government policy for achieving Vision 2030 is the National Development Strategy (NDS1), 2021 to 2025. NDS1 targets an annual GDP growth rate of above 5% and the creation of at least 760,000 formal jobs over the five-year period. The growth targets in NDS1 contributed to framing the revised NDC target. Since 2015, Zimbabwe has also adopted several important national and sectoral policies and strategies that will be central to the implementation of the NDC. Overarching national policies include: National Climate Policy (2017) that forms the backbone of Zimbabwe’s climate change response. It aims to build a climate resilient and low-carbon Zimbabwe.', 'It aims to build a climate resilient and low-carbon Zimbabwe. The policy guides climate change management in the country, enhances the national adaptive capacity, scales up mitigation actions, facilitates domestication of global policies and ensures compliance to the global mechanisms. The policy sets high level goals and institutional frameworks for climate change governance, National Climate Fund, economy-wide climate change mitigation and adaptation. It provides the national policy context for NDC revision and has sector specific strategies. • National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS, 2015) outlines Zimbabwe’s approach to ensuring sustainable development and a climate-proofed economy, recognizing the vulnerable nature of Zimbabwe’s natural resources and society.', '• National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS, 2015) outlines Zimbabwe’s approach to ensuring sustainable development and a climate-proofed economy, recognizing the vulnerable nature of Zimbabwe’s natural resources and society. NCCRS is anchored on seven pillars, namely, (i) adaptation and risk management; (ii) mitigation and low carbon strategies; (iii) capacity to effect; (iv) governance framework; (v) finance and investment; (vi) technology development and transfer, including infrastructure and (vii) communication and advocacy; information management and dissemination. The NCCRS includes sector specific actions to make the nation climate resilient with a low carbon economy. • Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS), 2020-2050, provides a clear, economy-wide low emission development pathway for the country.', '• Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS), 2020-2050, provides a clear, economy-wide low emission development pathway for the country. It also lays the foundations for a functional, effective and sustainable domestic monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system for tracking low emission development and a low emission financing strategy. The LEDS is based on an assessment of 38 costed sectoral mitigation measures. • Revised National Gender Policy (2017) includes a specific thematic area on gender and climate change and promotes the mainstreaming of gender in environmental and climate change policies and strategies. The policy recognises that women are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.', 'The policy recognises that women are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. • National Youth Policy (2013) ensures the active involvement of young people in national development, and, among other objectives, aims to foster skills, entrepreneurship, environmental education and active participation in environmental conservation among the youth of Zimbabwe. The adaptation measures presented in this Revised NDC were drawn from a series of existing economy- wide and sectoral policies and plans.', 'The adaptation measures presented in this Revised NDC were drawn from a series of existing economy- wide and sectoral policies and plans. Beyond National Climate Policy, and NCCRS, key adaptation policy documents include the NAP Roadmap, the Green Climate Fund Country Programme, Zimbabwe Climate Change Gender Action Plan, draft National Water Resources Master Plan (2020-2040), National Agriculture Policy Framework (2018-2030), and the Zimbabwe Climate Smart Agriculture Investment Plan (CSAIP).Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 29 The mitigation measures presented in this Revised NDC are also codified in existing policies and plans.

Emission factors for Black Carbon and air pollutants were taken from the EMEP/EEA air pollution emission inventory guidelines, as recommended by IPCC (2006).Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 ICTU category Response The GHG mitigation assessment indicates that the implementation of the policies and measures that can achieve Zimbabwe’s NDC would result in some simultaneous reduction in SLCP and air pollutant emissions, for example: • Black carbon: <1% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (25.1 thousand tonnes) baseline emissions (192 thousand tonnes) • NOx: 5% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (158 thousand tonnes) • NMVOCs: <1% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (751 thousand tonnes) These SLCP and air pollutant emission reductions would yield local benefits for human health through reduced air pollution exposure, in addition to climate benefits.', 'Emission factors for Black Carbon and air pollutants were taken from the EMEP/EEA air pollution emission inventory guidelines, as recommended by IPCC (2006).Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 ICTU category Response The GHG mitigation assessment indicates that the implementation of the policies and measures that can achieve Zimbabwe’s NDC would result in some simultaneous reduction in SLCP and air pollutant emissions, for example: • Black carbon: <1% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (25.1 thousand tonnes) baseline emissions (192 thousand tonnes) • NOx: 5% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (158 thousand tonnes) • NMVOCs: <1% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (751 thousand tonnes) These SLCP and air pollutant emission reductions would yield local benefits for human health through reduced air pollution exposure, in addition to climate benefits. iv.', 'Emission factors for Black Carbon and air pollutants were taken from the EMEP/EEA air pollution emission inventory guidelines, as recommended by IPCC (2006).Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 ICTU category Response The GHG mitigation assessment indicates that the implementation of the policies and measures that can achieve Zimbabwe’s NDC would result in some simultaneous reduction in SLCP and air pollutant emissions, for example: • Black carbon: <1% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (25.1 thousand tonnes) baseline emissions (192 thousand tonnes) • NOx: 5% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (158 thousand tonnes) • NMVOCs: <1% reduction in 2030 compared to 2030 baseline emissions (751 thousand tonnes) These SLCP and air pollutant emission reductions would yield local benefits for human health through reduced air pollution exposure, in addition to climate benefits. iv.

The intention to use voluntary cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, if applicable.', 'Further technical information, as necessary; Not applicable g. The intention to use voluntary cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, if applicable. Zimbabwe intends to leverage on its resources through the sale of carbon credits or emission reductions units through international and regional carbon markets and/or carbon pricing mechanisms to mobilise more resources for managing climate change. 6. How the Party considers that its NDC is fair and ambitious in light of its national circumstances a.', 'How the Party considers that its NDC is fair and ambitious in light of its national circumstances a. How the Party considers that its NDC is fair and ambitious in the light of its national circumstances; This updated NDC represents a significant increase in ambition by expanding the mitigation contribution to cover all IPCC sectors (whereas the INDC mitigation contribution only covered the energy sector), more GHG gases (HFCs) and by applying a more ambitious target to all these sectors (40% below BAU, compared to 33% in the INDC). This represents a fair and bold contribution from a country such as Zimbabwe which only accounts for 0.07% of global emissions (in 2017) and for whom adaptation is the key priority. b.', 'This represents a fair and bold contribution from a country such as Zimbabwe which only accounts for 0.07% of global emissions (in 2017) and for whom adaptation is the key priority. b. Fairness considerations, including reflecting on equity; Zimbabwe is a lower middle-income country with a steadily growing population. As a lower-middle income country, Zimbabwe bears little historical responsibility for the climate crisis, representing just 0.07% of global total emissions in 2017. Emissions per capita were around 2.5 tonnes CO e in 2017. Without ambitious mitigation action (BAU), Zimbabwe’s per capita emissions are projected to grow to 3.9 tonnes CO e in 2030.', 'Without ambitious mitigation action (BAU), Zimbabwe’s per capita emissions are projected to grow to 3.9 tonnes CO e in 2030. Under the 2030 mitigation contribution, the per capita emissions are expected to remain around 2.3 tonnes CO e, in line with global targets.Zimbabwe Revised Nationally Determined Contribution 2021 43 ICTU category Response c. How the Party has addressed Article 4, paragraph 3, of the Paris Agreement; Zimbabwe strongly supports the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement. In its first NDC, Zimbabwe committed to a target to reduce per capita energy-related carbon emissions by 33% below business-as-usual (BAU) emissions in 2030.', 'In its first NDC, Zimbabwe committed to a target to reduce per capita energy-related carbon emissions by 33% below business-as-usual (BAU) emissions in 2030. NDC 2020 shows increased ambition by expanding per capita GHG reduction target to cover all sectors, hence adding in the waste, AFOLU and IPPU sectors, as well as increasing the level of ambition of the per capita target to 40% below BAU by 2030. With these changes Zimbabwe is showing strong climate leadership and encouraging other countries to make similarly bold pledges for action. d. How the Party has addressed Article 4, paragraph 4, of the Paris Agreement; This updated NDC expands the mitigation contribution to cover all emissions sectors in Zimbabwe. e. How the Party has addressed Article 4, paragraph 6, of the Paris Agreement. Not applicable.', 'e. How the Party has addressed Article 4, paragraph 6, of the Paris Agreement. Not applicable. 7.

How the NDC contributes towards achieving the objective of the Convention as set out in its Article 2; The NDC contributes to efforts to limit global temperature rise to less than 2 °C, with an intention to aim for 1.5 °C increase compared to pre-industrial levels and to increase Zimbabwe’s ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change. b.
