๐ŸŒ On this World Environment Day 2026, Green Institute Zimbabwe proudly joins the global community in celebrating under the theme โ€œInspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.โ€This theme reminds us that nature is not only our heritage but also our greatest source of inspiration in the fight against climate change. From the resilience of forests to the harmony of pollinators, we see that the solutions to our climate challenges lie in respecting and restoring the ecosystems that sustain life. At Green Institute, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting biodiversity, empowering communities, and advancing climate justice. We believe that by working together, inspired by nature, we can build a climateโ€‘resilient Zimbabwe and secure a future where generations thrive in harmony with the environment. This day is not only a celebration but also a call to action โ€” to safeguard our rivers, forests, and wildlife, to strengthen community resilience, and to forge inclusive partnerships that unite people and ecosystems for a shared future. ๐Ÿ’š Inspired by nature, we stand for climate, and we act for our future. @ACTonDRMBill @weleadteam @FAOZimbabwe @MhlangaJohanne @TeamCRRT2016 @Climate_Allies

#PostCabinetBrief Cabinet considered and noted the Principles for the Amendment of the Water Act, necessitated by the need to realign the Act to the Constitution and update it to the current development agenda, as water is essential for all sectors of the economy. The Amendments aim at judicious management and equitable allocation of water, preserving sources for future generations, and transforming the Act into a comprehensive legal framework integrating constitutional imperatives, economic considerations, environmental sustainability, institutional accountability, and stronger regulatory oversight.
