Environmental policy is the process that integrates environmental considerations, including opportunities and risks, into all processes and activities in the society, from the overall policy and strategic level to the daily actions of each one of us.

 

This means that environmental policy should not just be the concern of environmental ministries or departments; it relates to all sectors, private as well as public, and everybody has a role to play and interpret policy into practice.

 

This programme focuses on how to operationalise environmental mainstreaming on different levels and in different sectors and relate it to practice activities on the ground that addresses poverty and environmental challenges.

 

Zambia Institute of Environmental Management is currently implementing the following projects under policy and practice

 

• ZIEM is currently advocating for a standalone climate change policy in Zambia which is already in the pipeline

• ZIEM is also advocating for a solid waste management policy
