    Zimbabwe is advancing climate change adaptation in its livestock sector, with key strategies reflected in both its initial and updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Although various climate-smart practices are already being implemented through livestock support programs, their contributions to adaptation and mitigation remain largely undocumented, resulting in their omission from the NDCs. To address this, the Department of Livestock Research has introduced a Tier 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for cattle, allowing for more accurate assessments of mitigation potential and informing the 2025 NDC update. This report brings together insights from literature reviews, policy analysis, and stakeholder consultations to evaluate the current policy landscape for livestock-related climate action. It highlights the sector’s growing vulnerability to climate change, including feed scarcity, disease outbreaks, and declining productivity. The report identifies key policy gaps and stresses the importance of capacity building, data-driven planning, and inclusive engagement to enhance climate resilience and reduce emissions in the livestock sector.

    FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
    2023
    Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance.
