The climate change agenda in Zambia National interests and the role of development cooperation

The paper analyzes Zambia's climate change framework and the influence of development cooperation, finding that donors have been central to shaping the national agenda and institutional structures. It identifies that the Zambian government's interests in climate change are driven by the need for funding for civil service activities, the management of political sensitivities regarding food security and disasters, and the mitigation of threats to political stability and the national economy.

• International donors have been instrumental in shaping Zambia's climate change agenda and the creation of its institutional frameworks for climate change and disaster management.
• The Zambian central government's interests in climate change are centered on obtaining funding for ground-level civil service operations, managing the political implications of food security and disasters, and protecting the national economy and political stability from potential threats.
