Discussion details
Hon. Collins Nzovu, Zambia's Minister of Green Economy and Environment, and Mr. Wopke Hoekstra, European Commissioner for Climate Action, signed the Roadmap for the implementation of the EU – Zambia Forest Partnership, in the presence of Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema and Ambassadors of European Union (EU) Member States at the State House in Lusaka.
Under the Global Gateway, EU’s positive Strategy for delivering trusted and sustainable connections with partner countries, this new roadmap will ensure the effective implementation of the Forest Partnership by strengthening mutual dialogue to address forest degradation, work towards a sustainable forest economy in Zambia and provide technical assistance, policy strategies and general support measures. The EU and its Member States – as part of Team Europe – will join forces and partner with Zambia’s Ministry of Green Economy and Environment and other relevant line ministries on the following work streams, which are aligned with Zambia’s 8th National Development Plan, to put the Forest Partnership in practice.
The agreements on the roadmaps for the Forest Partnerships represent a significant milestone in the efforts to protect and preserve the world's forests.

A project that certainly creates a better future for Zambia's next generation. If we neglect our forests, indirectly the animals and species will suffer to reproduce. The EU's strategy and policies, is a mechanism that will enhance the partnership to work effectively. Thank you.
