50% OF GOVT SCHOOLS TO HAVE CHONGOLOLO CLUBS BY 2035 - JO POPE.

Joe Pope - Beneficiary Officer from the Elephant Charge (EC) has disclosed that the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia - WECSZ and Elephant Charge are working towards the robust expansion of the Chongololo and Chipembele Conservation Clubs’ reach in Government schools countrywide.

She said, “The Chongololo Clubs are currently in 15% of Government Primary Schools, and these are spread across all provinces; that is 1, 800 clubs. And the goal, with Elephant Charge’s support, is to reach about 50% of the schools by 2035. So, the long term picture is building a pro-nature Zambia.”

She shared this long-term ambitious goal during her keynote speech at the Elephant Charge 2026 Kick Off Event, which was held last Saturday - 22nd August 2026 in Lusaka. To all conservation Partners, friends and enthusiasts who were present at the fundraising party, she encouraged them to support the conservation agenda through generous donations.

The Elephant Charge is WECSZ’s long time partner and mother-funder of the Chongololo and Chipembele Conservation Clubs of Zambia Program (CCCCZ). For many years, WECSZ through its signature programme has been a key beneficiary of resource mobilisations by the Elephant Charge.

𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗘𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨?

Zambia's development depends not only on economic growth, but also on how responsibly the country manages its natural resources and responds to environmental challenges.

Among Zambia's government ministries is the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment - Zambia, which plays an important role in environmental management, climate action and the development of a green economy.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗗𝗢?

The Ministry is responsible for developing and reviewing policies and legislation relating to the green economy and climate change. It also works to integrate climate considerations into national and sectoral programmes and promotes investment in economic activities that are low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. In simple terms, the Ministry helps Zambia pursue economic development while protecting the environment and strengthening the country's ability to respond to climate related challenges.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗔 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗬?

A green economy is an approach to development that seeks to improve people's well being and economic opportunities while reducing environmental risks and the inefficient use of natural resources. It means thinking beyond immediate economic returns and asking an important question:

𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗪𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗?

𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘

Climate change is not simply an environmental issue. It can affect agriculture, water availability, energy, infrastructure, public health, businesses and household incomes. The Ministry therefore promotes climate resilient approaches and works to build public awareness and community capacity to respond to climate change. For a country such as Zambia, where agriculture and natural resources are important to the economy and livelihoods, climate resilience is particularly significant.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧

Environmental protection and economic development should not necessarily be viewed as opposing objectives. The Ministry promotes green investments in economic activities that are resource efficient and support sustainable national development. This creates opportunities to think about renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, efficient use of resources, waste management and other environmentally responsible economic activities.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨?

Environmental policy eventually affects ordinary citizens. It can influence the quality of the air we breathe, the water we use, the management of waste, the sustainability of agriculture, the protection of ecosystems and the resilience of communities to climate related disasters. It also matters to businesses and young entrepreneurs because the global economy is increasingly placing value on sustainable production, climate conscious investment and responsible use of resources.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗛 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗬

Young people have an important role to play in Zambia's transition towards a more sustainable economy. Innovation in areas such as renewable energy, recycling, sustainable agriculture, environmental technology and green entrepreneurship can create economic opportunities while addressing environmental challenges. The green economy should therefore not only be understood as an environmental agenda. It can also be viewed as an opportunity for innovation, investment and employment.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘

Zambia's natural resources are part of our national wealth. The responsibility is therefore not simply to use them, but to manage them wisely so that development today does not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Ministry of Green Economy and Environment plays an important role in helping Zambia balance economic development, environmental protection and climate resilience. Understanding what this Ministry does helps us understand that environmental governance is not a distant government issue.
