all stakeholders in addressing the challenges affecting the environment such as climate change and deforestation.
The President said this in a speech ready for him by Tourism Environment and Natural Resources Minster Catherine Namugala at the launch of the National Policy on Environment in Lusaka today.
President Banda said government will use the policy to provide a framework for the management of Zambia’s environment and natural resources.
He further said the policy will also play an important role in promoting sustainable economic development and protection of the environment by ensuring that all economic activities being conducted do not undermine the balance of the ecosystem.
He called for the proper protection of the country’s environment on which 62 percent of people, especially in rural areas depend for their livelihood and the sustainable use of natural resources.
He said mounting pressure is being exerted on the environment, especially in key economic sectors such as tourism, agriculture and industry, leading to widespread deterioration of the environment.
President Banda said the environment policy will be used as a tool to assist government in addressing the challenges affecting the environment, which he said is in danger of further depletion.
He said the implementation of the policy will result in the reversal of environmental degradation.
Meanwhile, President Banda has called for the creation of awareness among the people in the country on the need to safeguard the environment and natural resources.
He urged all the people in the country to embrace and implement strategies of the national policy on the environment, if it is to translate into viable development programmes and projects.
The President further reiterated that the implementation of the policy should not be left to the government alone, in view of the crosscutting nature of the issues pertaining to the environment and natural resources.
Speaking earlier, Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources Ministry Permanent Secretary Teddy Kasonso said, the process of formulating the policy took long to ensure that it was comprehensive.
Mr. Kasonso said the policy will address a lot of cross cutting issues affecting all stakeholders such as the Non governmental Organizations (NGOs), Civil Society and the public among others.

Can man destroy the earth?
NO BUT I CAN DESTROY YOU
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

#9 Your question is wise and worth debating on.
#11 1984 I think for the first time, I agree with your analogy. I have always had my doubts about the way all this global climate issue is being overrated, especially by some western countries. I suspect a hidden agenda somewhere.
