It details Zambia’s climate policies and commitments, institutional arrangements for climate governance, and pathways from BAU to NGGS. The report evaluates climate impacts on growth, poverty reduction, and the financial sector, then identifies sector development priorities and financing needs. It concludes with actionable priorities to advance climate-resilient, low-emissions development.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nEASTERN AND  \n SOUTHERN AFRICA  \nZAMBIA  \nWorld Bank Group  \nApril 2026  \n© 2026 The World Bank Group  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington, DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), collectively known as The World Bank, with external contributors.  \nThe World Bank does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the content included in this work, orthe conclusions or judgments described herein, and accepts no responsibility or liability for any omissions or errors (including, without limitation, typographical errors and technical errors) in the content whatsoever or for reliance thereon.
