Nature-based solutions inventory Zimbabwe

The Nature-based solutions inventory Zimbabwe documents recently completed and ongoing nature-based solutions (NbS) projects in Zimbabwe, focusing on their approaches, targeted ecosystems, and the climate and biodiversity risks they address.

• NbS projects in Zimbabwe primarily focus on reforestation and wildlife corridor conservation, with interventions spanning forestry, sustainable agriculture, wildlife conservation, and water management to improve biodiversity conservation and climate resilience.
• Nature-based solutions are concentrated in biodiversity hotspots and high-climate-risk areas, specifically the Victoria Falls region, Zambezi Valley, Zambezi National Park, and Hwange National Park.
• Zimbabwe utilizes NbS as cost-effective alternatives to traditional infrastructure to combat climate challenges such as unpredictable rainfall, prolonged droughts, and rising temperatures. Specific examples include reforestation to create carbon sinks and combat desertification, wetland restoration to improve water quality and mitigate flooding, and wildlife corridor management to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
