🌿 Workshop Reflections | Safeguarding Biodiversity for Climate Resilience & Sustainable Tourism in Zimbabwe 🌿

Over the past two days (25–26 September 2025), we successfully hosted a multi-stakeholder dialogue at Hillside Dams Conservancy, Bulawayo, bringing together government, civil society, academia, youth, and community actors to address the urgent need to safeguard biodiversity, build climate resilience, and strengthen sustainable tourism.

✅ Day 1 Focus: Wetlands & Biodiversity for Climate Resilience – advancing post-COP15 commitments through local action, community stewardship, and policy dialogue.

✅ Day 2 Focus: Biodiversity at the Crossroads – developing strategies to integrate climate resilience and sustainable tourism, ensuring that conservation goes hand-in-hand with economic opportunities for local communities.

💡 Key outcomes from the workshop included:

Strengthened partnerships between local authorities, NGOs, youth, and community stakeholders.

Commitments to scale up wetland restoration and biodiversity protection as part of Zimbabwe’s climate action and NDCs.

Dialogue on positioning sustainable tourism as a driver for conservation and community empowerment.

A call for increased awareness and education on biodiversity as a climate solution.

We are grateful to all our partners, including Hillside Dams Conservancy, NEAT, Zimbabwe Man and Biosphere Youth Network, WePlanet Africa, Climate Control, and Zimbabwe Workcamps Association, for their support in making this dialogue a success.

Together, we are proving that biodiversity conservation is climate action – and the foundation for a sustainable and resilient Zimbabwe. 🌍✨

🌍✨ Building Awareness, Building a Better Future! ✨🌍

The National Environmental Awareness Trust (NEAT), in collaboration with the Environmental Management Agency (EMA), recently conducted a two-day awareness campaign for small-scale miners in Mhondoro-Ngezi. The programme brought together over 200 miners to engage on safe mining practices, environmental protection, and sustainable resource management. 💡⛏️🌱

Our discussions focused on:
✅ Environmental regulations & compliance
✅ Sustainable mining practices
✅ Reducing harmful mining methods
✅ Strengthening collaboration between miners, government & communities

By equipping miners with knowledge and solutions, we aim to protect the environment, ensure safer livelihoods, and promote responsible resource use. Together, we can balance development with sustainability.

🌍✨ National Youth Dialogue on Climate Justice! ✨🌍

NEAT, together with Clima21st and with the incredible support of the Netherlands Embassy in Harare, brought together passionate youths from across all 10 provinces of Zimbabwe for a powerful national conversation on climate justice. 💬🌱

From tackling loss & damage and the just energy transition, to advancing agroecology, food systems transformation, and community rights, young voices took centre stage — shaping solutions and demanding action for a fairer, greener future. 🙌

The dialogue ended with the adoption of a Youth Climate Justice Declaration, a united call to action that will guide our advocacy at national and global climate spaces.

💪🌿 When youth unite, we are unstoppable. The future is ours — and we are claiming it!

🌍 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTS ON MONDAY! 🌾

As we navigate the fire season, did you know that can play a significant role in mitigating veld fires? By harvesting grass for hay, we are effectively removing dry, combustible fuel from the landscape. This practice helps to create vital firebreaks and reduces the overall fuel load, lessening the intensity and spread of potential veld fires.

's continue to be and understand how even agricultural practices can contribute to a safer environment!
