Zimbabwe, UN and ECA call for accelerated green industrialisation to drive inclusive and resilient economic transformation
Zimbabwe, the United Nations System in Zimbabwe, and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) called for accelerated green industrialisation in Southern Africa during a workshop in Harare from 3–4 September 2026. The call emphasised moving beyond policy declarations to practical, investment-ready solutions that create jobs, strengthen regional value chains, and build climate-resilient economies. The workshop validated regional studies on innovative climate action and involved government, private sector, MSMEs, academia, and other stakeholders.
Why it matters: This call underscores the theme of climate-resilient economic transformation, linking green industrialisation to structural change and sustainable development in the region.
