Why Zimbabwe will welcome CCDA 5 with fervor

Abstract

The 5th CCDA comes at the time when several voices have been raised as to the very future the mighty Victoria Falls because of the toll climate impacts appears to be taking on one of the longest waterfalls in the world. Appreciating the importance accorded CCDA 5 in Zimbabwe, the chair of the technical preparatory committee, Dr. James Murombedzi, Senior Governance Expert at ACPC says that the Victoria Falls Conference comes during a watershed year in global climate negotiations and its content and outcomes will influence Africa’s position on climate change for the next several years. The Climate for Development (ClimDev-Africa) Programme has designed CCDA 5 as a scientific conference of African policy makers, researchers, civil society organizations to provide answers to those development problems of the continent in a climate changing environment.
