13th May, 2025, Lusaka- The Honourable Minister of Green Economy and Environment, Mike Mposha, has made a clarion call to professional bodies to collaborate with the Ministry in raising awareness about the impacts of climate change. During a courtesy visit by the President of the Zambia Institute of Valuation Surveyors, Christopher Mulenga, and his delegation.
The Minister emphasized the need for the institution to adopt a holistic approach. This approach should encompass not only property valuation but also ensuring that real estate structures are resilient to extreme weather events. The Minister noted that such partnerships are crucial in the fight against climate change.
“Climate change is an indiscriminate threat, and its impacts are evident in the 2023-2024 drought, which led to water scarcity, energy crises, and food shortages. To build resilience and adapt to climate change, we must encourage professional partnerships,” the Minister stated.
The professional body’s courtesy visit on 12th May 2025 aimed to establish familiarity with the Minister.
