Abstract
Zimbabwe faces a major challenge: adapting to the effects of climate change while alleviating

findings into policies. These policies will in turn need institutional support, adequate financing and
rapid implementation.
The Baseline Report on Climate Change and Development in Zimbabwe presents a preliminary
analysis of the country’s current state of preparedness for climate change, both for adaptation and
mitigation.
