Description
Green Cosmos Zambia is a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to combating climate change and promoting environmental sustainability in Zambia. Established by a committed team of environmental advocates, the organization is driven by Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) and focuses on preserving natural resources, fostering community engagement, and building resilience to climate impacts. Since its recognition by the Ministry of Green Economy in January 2023 and formal registration in March 2023, Green Cosmos Zambia has implemented impactful initiatives, including the "Keep Lusaka Clean" campaign, afforestation programs, and nationwide drought and food insecurity assessments. A notable collaboration exists with the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) under the Office of the Vice President, where Green Cosmos is conducting drought and flood sensitization programs in affected districts. These efforts aim to educate communities, strengthen adaptive capacities, and inform policy decisions. Green Cosmos Zambia’s innovative programs also empower youth through climate education and leadership development. In partnership with the U.S. Embassy, the organization has trained over 140 young leaders in climate innovation, equipping them with skills to address environmental challenges. Through strategic partnerships with government, academia, and civil society, Green Cosmos Zambia remains at the forefront of creating sustainable solutions for Zambia’s most pressing environmental challenges.
