Zambian Education Programme for Climate Action (ZEPCA)

Climate change presents a major threat to the future economic and societal development of Zambia. Forestry, agriculture and energy sectors are the major contributors to the country greenhouse gas emissions. Transformative behavior change education is an essential factor in the fight against climate change. The project aims to empower all members of Zambian society to support the achievement of Zambia’s NDCs, mainly in the forestry, agriculture and energy sectors. The project will develop context specific climate curricular for primary, secondary schools, universities, vocational schools, and build the capacity of teacher training centers. The project will also work with the non-formal education sector, such as NGOs and youth organizations to reach the most vulnerable and marginalized groups. The project will have a GIS-based monitoring and evaluation component to develop of a strong evidence base and allow a behavioural science approach.
